Both. You'll play differently (better) if you record with light compression then without especialy if you play with compresion all the time.

Have you tried damping techniques on the snare? You can vary the tone and attack through stylistic dampening. Near the rim you'll get more more tone and longer resonance. More towards the center you'll get a decrease in tone and less attack. Sticks....light sticks sound a world apart from...

I have recorded a banjo..... once. But someone told me it's not a banjo but from the family. I cracked up when the player leaned it against the Marshall in the studio and had to take a pic. That single recording wasnt a great success........ I think the problem is that since the Banjo...

To a degree but the room if not treated properly will effect the sound. Unlike amping a E. Guitar the bass amp needs to be treated with care. Many engineers will place the amp in a "bass traped" room. It's usualy smaller and full of absorbent material. A closet at home that is treated in a...

Although the bear is right that there is no formal answer as compression is used for different reasons on different cases but there are some guide lines. You have to think about how your eq boost/cut will effect your amplitude. Do you need a massive boost? or is it minor. Think....do you need...

Condensers tend to be more accurate as they respond to transients more precisely. They tend also to add less coloration and get a broader range of freq's from a larger distance so you can include the natural ambience of the room giving you a full sound. They are the prefered tool for vocals and...

Regebro, Get yourelf dressed and get out of here........

For me a mid budget console would start around $20,000-$60,000. At least these are the prices we pay here. For a Amek you would pay around $120,000 depending on the model. You are asking about pro consoles. Although a Ghost would be considered a nice console by many, in a major studio you won't...

In pro studios were they can afford a large assort of quality pre's, you will see that many bypass the pre's on the console. for the need of various dimensions and pre's that match your needs per instrument and vocals. Many people can't afford or don't have a console alike SSL (if you like...

Over compression: * Dull sound * Lifeless * Pinched * Small * Added distortion And thats only part of the list...........

I can't say all that much with out hearing the tracks in the context of the mix so here are a few tips to think about and experiment with. If your worried about the brash side beware of any boosting from 4-10kHz. You might try a cut though below 100-200Hz if that area is covered by the rest of...

You need to have a "Hold"/"Range" parameter on your gate to gain the type of control your looking for.

I'm not going to waste time arguing if Normalizing is a usefull tool (but B.Bear is right). Ron82, To answer your question.......I have checked and checked again.....a file that has been normalized in Pro tools, is degraded compared to a file brought to the same level by other means.

Even more....the distance of a inch between a concrete wall and the foam will absorb the reflections better. Hang them with space between the wall and the frame.

You didn't get an answer to your questions unless I didn't understand them :) Distance will vary the sound - period. 1. Distance will change the sound of the recording. 2. Mic and pattern as well 3. Room shape, placement in room and room size will effect the vocal sound 4. Your body is your...

If you are already going that way, then I would do it the opposite. Load the songs into a burning program and set the levels in there. Change the gain by 1dB untill you get the average level you want. Then use a mastering compression to actually get to the levels you had set in the burning...

[/b] No doubt most people can't get all that gear and mics together. But a 4 mic configuration (like your added snare mic) will add more control and no less punch. Asumming a person will have to compress hard on the OH's to get a good balance, the original sound uncompressed will dissapear and...

Re: Re: With every good comes some bad Late reply....had no internet connection. With three mics the room will play a bigger factor compared to a say, 8 close miced kit. As for bleed - gating in some cases will be out of the question as you only HAVE 3 tracks to start with. if you hear to...
