I listened to the clip. Definitely mess with positioning more. I use compression on just my snare and room mics. I really go to town with EQ, though.

Back in February, I purchased two mics on ebay for around $600 each. These are the auctions: without label with label It isn't pictured in the first auction, but the box shown was sent to me without the same label that can be seen in the second auction. Other than that, everything is there...

It's fun watching Taylor play guitar. :) Hey, I couldn't tell either. I hope your delivery has improved over the last few years! :p I drank beer last night if that counts. Made fifty bucks from a party gig!

Very nice. I realize it's been forever, but I'd like to put out one idea. Not to be a pushover or anything, but I really think that this song calls for something other than the piano... something more impressive. Honestly, my initial thought when first listening was that the piano sounds cheesy...

Thank you! :) That's really good to hear, because pop is what we go for! I noticed throughout making the first song that it does follow that 80's pop structure. The fade-out is a dead giveaway. Thanks for liking it!

This is my first attempt at producing something. I used a plugin to max the volume, which makes for a little rumble. I hope it's passable. I spent so much time on mixing that I like almost all of it. I'm really proud, but I'd be grateful for any critiques to consider for future projects. Please...

Nevermind. Problem solved. I called Mackie tech support and they told me about the "Auto Detect" feature within Tracktion 2, which sends a signal through whatever interface you're using and determines the latency. My Firepod's latency is 111ms, FWIW. The funny thing is that this is the most...

That's way cool. Great job!

I second the Canare wires. Check out www.martonecustomcables.com.

Apparently Google can, as it gathered for me that some AT mics are made in the US; some in Europe. Just to name another location, My AT4050 was made in Japan.

Here you go. http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=757&ParentId=114 I think it's priced at $400.

I just posted this elsewhere in response to a question regarding ambience: "I get good ambience from the bathroom that neighbors the tracking room. I place my AT4050, in omni mode, suspended over the bath tub. Just don't try it after a steamy shower... or during! :eek:" It sounds huge when...

http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=757&ParentId=114 I thought the R1 was cool, but now that the R-09 came out... well *puts on "oh" face*. In short, I can't wait to try it.

The same can be said for SM57 and SM57-LC, right?

Your DAW software.

Here's a free compressor plug-in that's very popular: http://www.solid-state-logic.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=29&osCsid=aae97947ce866054697b39e94e94c13c See if you can find a used Studio Projects C1, CAD M179, M-Audio Solaris, or other used mics in that range.

I really believe that dynamic mics are better suited for rap (on a budget, at least). You could get this kind of setup: That's not to say that it was used on any of the recordings, but it sure looks cool! And the Blue "ball" series is nice for the money anyway, so the looks are really just a...

yeah, i always thought that dynamics would be better for rap.
