1. Teach the singer to back off the mic when he gets louder (similar to turning his head, but may sound better) 2. Place a second mic further away 3. Turn down the preamp gain so it's not peaking on the loudest parts 4. Use a pad on either the mic or preamp 5. Compression

Yeah, a used SM7 will probably cost you more than a new SM7B.

Yeah, but you could reverse-wire all the speakers and turn them into a wall of microphones!!! :eek:

The DMP3 is a fine choice. Buy used or new off e-bay if you need it sooner.

Here's a good place to start: http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-series.php

I'd like to know, too. I know ReaComp is supposed to support side-chaining, but I can't even get that plugin to come up in Cubase SE1.

Don't worry. He recommends the Naiant MSH mics and Carvin guitars. Feel better? ;)

I presume you're talking about a synth pad. Do you have a sythesizer module? If not, does your recording software support midi? You can program the notes in midi and/or play them in with a midi keyboard, then replace them with a virtual instrument (VSTi) or other syth patch from a module. There...

SM81 - a really great acoustic mic. Get one...or two.

Well, the strongest rejection for a cardioid will be opposite the diaphragm, which coincides with the end you plug the cable into. If you position the mic such that the cable-end is pointing toward the hihat, that will give you maximum rejection. I like to bring the snare mic up underneath the...

You cannot eliminate hat bleed that occurs at the same time as a snare hit with any gate - once the gate opens, anything can come through. What mic are you using and how are you placing it? Those things will be the most important factors, along with how the drummer is playing - if he/she bashes...

It's time consuming to enter midi within cubase, but you certainly can do it. Just add a midi track to your project, use the pencil tool to draw a few measures on the track, and then right-click on it to open the key editor. You can use your mouse to enter notes. Load your vsti and output the...

Cubase does not make CDs. What program are you using for CD burning? What format are you exporting your Cubase audio files for burning? In order to make an audio CD, the music should be exported as a 16-bit/44.1K, Stereo Interleaved .wav or .aiff.

I think it's a very personal choice and you'll probably have to try a lot of sticks to find your "perfect" one. Here's a decent website describing the differences: http://www.pearldrum.com/2002_techspeak/drumsticks.asp As far as the maple/hickory/oak preference, oak is generally the hardest and...

IMO, Cubase is not really any easier to learn than any other program. For some people (myself included), Cubase seems to make more "sense," but the major programs all have similar features and all have a pretty significant learning curve when you first start out. Since you've already invested a...

I'm not going to read the article, but it's a ridiculous premise. The movement of air and the projection of sound waves are not the same thing. When a stick/beater/whatever hits a drumhead, sound radiates in all directions. The reason that you might want to flip the polarity/phase of certain...

I'll use Omni Condensers, Cardioid Condensers, and Figure 8 Ribbons depending on the sound I want for that particular song/recording.

No, that's the best place to find a Vietnamese prostitute, soldier boy.

Well, I think the point is that "upgrading" from a $100 mic to a $200 mic is not really much of an upgrade. That said, I'd recommend the CAD M179 as a very good mic to have in the under-$200 category.
