I like my SE2200. It's very clear and pretty true...for a $170US mic. For vocals, I do prefer my MXL v69.

you could checkout www.recordingconnection.com It's not traditional, and there's no university degree, but they set you up with a studio in your area and have you do your coursework at the studio as an apprentice. I don't know anything more about them than what's on the website. Check it out.

I was in your position rather recently and ended up going with the TC Electronics M300. It's pretty no-nonsense, no bells and whistles multi-effects unit. It's got some nice delays, phasers, flangers, tremolos, choruses, and a good collection of reverbs. All effects are alterable. The...

bea arthur?

I use a Marshall MXL v69 ($299) for vocals. It's pretty similar in its specs to the v67, but uses tube technology and it has that sound! Just watch out and use it upside down so the heat from the body doesn't damage your capsule! :):) The differences are that the 69 has a supposed 10Hz more...

If you're going direct, you will need some sort of preamp/direct injection (DI) box. If you plan on mic'ing the cabinets, it depends on the mics you use.

I guess each instrument COULD be only be one line in, but usually when I record guitars or basses, I like to do one line direct (through a direct box) and one line of the cabinet mic'd. I then mix the two signals to get the best sound. The other thing you have to remember is that even though...

I'm just curious -- Do you find that having the computer and equipment in the recording room presents any unwanted noise or unpleasant situations?

Agreed with John on the external mixer comment. You might also want to check out the Event TR8's. I have a pair of the 5's and they're very good for the price. I auditioned them against M-audio (too bright), and against Behringers (too muddy, no low end, etc.). I did listen to the TR8's and...

One can be respected, but that doesn't mean one has tact.

Well, I guess I have a different situation. I use no mixer, so everything goes direct into my computer. It records and mixes. I have no "normal" signal path. If I did have a mixer, I'd definitely normalize my patch bay.

I have some old Behringer Truth monitors and they get REALLY warm.

well, i have my patchbay in "open" configuration. the top receptors are "in" and the bottom receptors are "out." i have the first 8 ins and outs patched to my 8 direct ins and outs from my DAW. Each outboard box i have is patched to other ins and outs. I patch in the front from a DAW out to...

yeah, if you're pretty bright on the solo already, check where your other instruments are panned. For example, if you have a rhythm guitar and it's panned center during the solo, move it!! If you have some other instrument in the same range, they could be "fighting" for the space. Panning and...

I agree. Too much reverb can cause a track to fade into the background. Also, you can remove some lower frequencies / raise some higher frequencies, and that should move the track higher (not forward) in your soundstage. That might bring the solo "away" from other instruments in your mix.

just to clarify - you'll want to use your preamp with the mic BEFORE it goes into the effects box. However, I would do what c7sus says in his second paragraph. Record it dry and then add the effects afterward. -Erik

haha...yeah, that'd help. By recording with the auto-punch on, i also lost about four bars at the end of the song on two tracks. double-doh.

hahaha...nevermind. Forgot to turn auto-punch off :) thanks for your help guys.

nope, got about 40 gigs available.
