BigRay, thanks for the info. And, mshilarious, thanks for the insight. Ironklad, with all this assurance I've been given, my intuition is to keep the mics. I really must wait and see how I like the outcome, which I'm about to find out, but I agree with you and do suspect I'll be happy with it.

That's a kickass idea!

They aren't streaming well for me, but the little bit that I caught was very cool. It's a nice, traditional approach which makes it seem very professional, and it goes well with the music. Good stuff.

Thanks. I hope this thread diminishes into the abyss as I suspect I will happily record my band's first single with these mics starting today! I really do apologize for the annoying topic. Admittedly, it was brought on by a sudden burst of uncertainty. It's just good to know that my fellow...

Thanks. This is the kind of thing I need to hear. :o

To answer your questions... I didn't say I have a bad pair. I said I feel like I have a bad pair. I wouldn't know the difference as I am new to this stuff and haven't worked with pairs of anything before. The pair I have seems fine to me, but I just don't know if they're as good as a matched...

They are AKG C414 B-ULS mics. I bought them separately on ebay particularly because the matched pairs are hard to come by, but also because they both came with their original frequency response curve charts so I could see just how mismatched they are. First of all, can somebody please assure...

hehe. nice and raunchy

I agree that the guitars are too distorted. I can hear a really nice guitar sound masked by too much saturation. If you mic'd an amp, it might sound better to turn the distortion down and the master volume up. It may be uncomfortably loud, but it will get you a cleaner yet ballsy tone on the...

Sure, it's usable. If it were me, though, I would want to redo it with less clipping. Try experimenting with distance and gain.

It sounds great to me, besides that thing at the beginning mentioned by ido1957. I think it would be great to see live. My only concern is that it's a little drawn out for a demo, but it shouldn't be a problem as long as it doesn't come first among the other tunes you've done.

Thank you. I actually meant to pan the bass back to the middle after messing around with it, but I forgot about it. I certainly am all about the traditional approach mentioned by rayc. As I record my band in the next couple weeks, I'll be sure to take notes of what's going on so I don't forget...

Thanks a bunch! I'll be sure to take those suggestions into account for my upcoming projects.

i'm not big into rap, but i do find myself listening to it on occasion. it's my guilty pleasure, per se. i appreciate a tasteful tune no matter what the style, and this is one of them. i think there's a little too much clipping or distortion, but that's made up for with the overall tightness...

i haven't heard the original, but i think you captured a lot of feeling on this one. i'm going to listen to it again!

ditto. one critique i'd like to share is that i think the panning of the separate riffs is a little too separated. you probably know which parts i'm talking about. those parts just kind of jumped out at me, but i enjoyed every bit of the song. day tripper was the first song i learned. it's very...

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=516796 With all of my new gear, and with little experience as a recording engineer/enthusiast, I'm trying to become familiar with the results that I should expect to achieve. I'm a little embarassed, so I won't say what gear I used but I'd be...

You aren't talking about the B3, are you?

that's awesome. thanks for the link.

Please. There's no sense in valuing someone else's opinion when there may be a reason for that opinion to be formed. I doubt it would have been said otherwise. On that note, I'd like to point out from what I've read, that GLS microphones contain neodymium magnets which supposedly make for a...
