    I'm on the web.

    Whoa, Rush meets Joe Satriani (sp?). Dude, good stuff!!! No shit, straight up. Really liked the beginning to Vlevet Creeper. I can feel a little RUSH influence and some Joe Sat. especially when your doing your scales with your leads. Good though, nice and tasty. Good recording and mixing...

    if you were hired to record a band...

    Look at it this way. You know your limitations, you know what your gear cost and you also know what you can and can't do. Now put all that together and compare it to what a pro studio would run you IF YOU wanted to pay someone to record you. 10 an hour is pretty cheap. One hour is a lot of...

    Faders and clicks

    No, your right. You don't think that clicking noise may have something to do with phase cancellations, do you? Never thought much about that. My exact set up is this, one mic between the two mounted toms, one for the floor aiming at me, one for the snare underneath, left side aiming towards...

    Idea

    Can relate to all of that. But it's so typical, the stuff that A&R people pick up on is the stuff that they WANT us to hear. I was thinking along the lines of letting anybody else make that decision on what they want to hear. That was the basis of my first post. It's like the ones that don't...

    Idea

    Got an idea. If some of ya'll are like me, you like to record but don't have a label or a band, but can write songs (with or without vocals) and enjoy doing it. You record at home, do all the playing, mixing, mastering,etc. etc. but just want someone or some artist to hear and see if they'd...

    Faders and clicks

    wait a sec, if I have the master fader at 7, I can't get the individual faders past 2 or 3 because then the meters are pegging full blown red. It's like I need a reverse trim.

    Faders and clicks

    OK, but won't that increase the noise dramatically???

    Drums and drummers suck!

    AHHHHH, another one is enlighten to the great DRUM SPIRIT in the SKY. Anybody can almost program a drum machine, but notice, I said program. The real art is the art itself, drumming. You don't see anybody programming guitarist around do you? That's because that instrument is expressive...

    Faders and clicks

    Anybody got any suggestions on this one?? Plugged 4 drum mics into the 414 to lay drum tracks, panned them so that I have two tracks left over. If I have the master fader at 7, the individual tracks are really low, like around 2 or 3 on all four. If I put the levels on the individual tracks...

    Fader Levels and clicking

    How record simutaneously w/Tascam 424mkII

    Gotta go with pan on that one. Try downloading into a VCR. Need a good one, a stero hifi one will do nicely. Tried that this weekend after reading about it, and man oh man, night and day difference. Don't have to worry about levels, most have built in compression also. Try it, if it don't...

    music morals and business....confused producer

    Look back in time, I think you will answer your own questions. Did Elvis worry about morals when all kids' parents were throwing his albums away because it was "devil music?" NOT!!! Seriously, there is art and then business. You think some of the artist that made naked paintings worried about...

    Yet another drum micing question

    Whoops, this is what I meant: Don't aim the MIC down, keep them almost parallel with the floor. This way, you'll pick up the cymbals pretty good. Before

    Yet another drum micing question

    Okay, don't laugh at this, try it. Works well for me. 4 toms, assuming 2 rack, 2 floor. Get close and splash the 5th mic. Put one mic between the two racked toms, one mic between the two floors. One in the kick and adjust your snare mic, or get an omni and place it on the upper left side of...

    How do i conect a 12chn mixing board to a 414 portastudio

    Have a 414 myself, and have some "problems" too. Your question, you can take the out of the 12 track and plug it into the sub in on the 414. You control the level with the master fader. This is for using it live. For recording, you'll have to take the out of the 12 track and plug it in to...

    4 track to computer

    You can still do it even if you got Windows 95. Go to Programs, then Accessories, then click on Multimedia. Pull out the file "sound recorder." Take either your line out or monitor out RCA plugs and hook them up. On the other end, you will need an adapter: RCA to 1/8 inch plug. If you can't...
