    Trying to make the best of the space I have

    yes, a picture would help. You generally want your mixing position to be on one of the short walls if at all possible. And centered on that wall, yes you ideally want to be off the wall a couple feet, but if you have space constraints just deal with what you have. Perhaps you could rearrange...

    Bass Traps In Corners

    It depends on what type of bass trap you want to make, there's a few different kinds that people use. The first is essentially a panel, much like a broadband absorber, but with much thicker insulation. Usually anywhere from 4-8 inches thick of as apposed to the 2in thick panels of a broadband...

    mismatched overheads?

    well then, my thought process just went out the window. :laughings:

    mismatched overheads?

    I haven't experimented with mismatched pairs, I don't own enough mics to really do that lol. I would think if it got to drastic though, it would throw off your stereo image your trying to capture. But I guess you could also just space the mics to taste so you could preserve that stereo...

    Favorite Mics?

    To date, the best acoustic guitar recording I've managed has been with the 990 and 991. Also my first mics so I'll never get rid of them:p

    Mixing outbursts of loud vocals

    This, your mixing. Get the general volumes to work together. You could also be tracking far to hot for those loud passes, you can turn down the gain there as well, leaving you with very little head room to work with. You can always use a little makeup gain latter if needed. Also, literally...

    $4000 Budget - Help me build my home studio!

    You'd be set with the 7b. I've also seen the AKG 414 mentioned more than a few times over at gearslutz for a good "counter" mic to the 7b. Personally have not been a fan of anything Nuemann thus far in my experience for vocals. *shrugs* I'm absolutely in love with the Daking mic pre "green...

    not-so-big muff

    I hear ya, I'm always apprehensive when buying online. I've returned stuff a few times and it's no big deal if your just replacing something, except it feels like it takes twice as long. I just like the fact that if you buy one locally you can try it out first and if for some reason it does f...

    New Mac Mini's

    I just hate that they don't come with disc drives, I guess that's more of a personal thing. But hey, you have a thunderbolt port for when that becomes more prominent.

    Lowes now carries 7 1/4" thick fiberboard should i get some?

    Comfortbatts would be better for absorption. From everything I've studied, regardless of the material, as long as it has absorption properties (a porous material), all that matters is the density of the product and how much area it covers. Rigid fiberglass is better for isolation, while looser...

    Question about promotion

    In my experience, your friends/likes on facebook in no way correlate to how many cds you sell, how many people come to your show, or really anything to do with your band in the real world. It's too easy for some random person to take the half a second to click a like button to simply amuse your...

    Lowes now carries 7 1/4" thick fiberboard should i get some?

    Good find! Lets just hope they don't get smart and start labeling them as "acoustic" fiberglass and charge an extra $40. Only way for sure to know if you would get full absorption down to 60hz is to test your room once you have the bass traps in place, we could guess all day, but you just...

    $500 Preamp Quandry

    You might be able to find a used Daking Mic Pre "the green brick" for around that price range. It has some slight coloration that I really like. It's my work horse for all I'm doing right now since it's my only outboard preamp right now. Powers the sm7b like a champ, is also a great DI for...

    deleting "master section" in Reason 6

    do you mind linking to these "tutorials". In reason there's always going to be a master section, it's what your audio is routed to and where your outputs are, I guess you can disconnect everything from the master, but then you would have no audio. Not really familiar with rewire since I just...
