I'd work in the opposite direction honestly, that's how I always go about mixing. Get your lead/vox to where you like it, volume/processing wise, and then work everything else in around it, then adjust if your lead get's drowned out. If you don't want to start over, you can always just pull...

Still in the beginning stages, just now 21 :D. I've been playing music since I was 8, but around 13 after a year or so of learning the guitar is when recording caught my interests. Had myself a little tascam interface and cubase LE I messed with and would just record riffs, and that was pretty...

Same^^, I generally only use it for vocals and lead guitar to give a little more presence in the mix, unless the song as a whole calls for a more ambient sound. Blending everything together? Layering compression is my best friend.

gotcha, you can do it either way, which ever way you think will look better. I would still suggest having something to keep the panel forward in the frame. Especially a freestanding/movable set up, it's only a matter of time before it gets knocked into or pushed and the bond of glue breaks...

I use cotton for mine, much cleaner looking IMO. Kind of confused on what you mean as far as wrapping them. Either way is fine though, you can just glue the insulation to the inside of the frame or you can put small braces in the corners of the frames to keep the insulation forward. It may...

*flashes the "moresound" signal* He posted a thread a while back that really sparked my interest in KAM, I had never heard of them until then. Haven't had the chance to pick any for myself, but from what it seems they seem to be little gems in the budget mic world.

A cloud would help that problem out some. and lol @ moresound :D

That'd probably be best.

Those are all find and dandy for doing broadband absorbers, but not for bass traps. Those won't even touch the low end for that you need something more dense like the insulation. If those are cheaper you may want to get those just for your broad bands to save a couple bucks, but your going to...

Yep, that's what I was doing :o. I was also just wondering, from a more "professional" stand point, if you got a mix from a client to master, and they had put a fade on the final mix with out knowing that could be bad, is it best to just to try to get a mix resent that has no fade or is there a...

Simple enough:facepalm:, thanks! That just means, fade outs would literally be the last thing you would do in the process? We had a mastering engineer, Dave Harris, from studio B up in Charlotte this past week in one of my classes and kind of touched on hating to get final mixes with fades...

Not trying to hijack, but do any of ya'll have issues with compression when doing fades? My songs always sound weird at the end because once the track drops below the set threshold things start to fall apart a little, and at least to me is always noticeable on the drums. Any way to really cope...

I'd look into finding a used telecaster if I were you.

lol, that's awesome!

Probably the K141s or K240s. I can't stand AKG's because I have fairly large ears, and nothing I've ever tried out from them have fit well, might be perfect for you however. I have two pairs of Audio-Technica ATH M45s that I let other people use and they're pretty comfortable, pretty flat...

Cats make great bass traps...

This is where it comes in handy being an all around competent musician, guess it kind of goes back to the whole producing vs. engineering from a few posts ago. While interning I did encounter a band "the local band" that were just not quite there talent wise. The engineer I was assisting...

In your case with wanting to do mostly midi and guitar modeling, I'd say Logic would probably be the best bang for your buck.

Studio cats...almost as essential as a lava lamp to the recording process. :p

I want your stuff! :p and nice, don't tread on me!
