    Telecaster 4 way switch mod

    You said it, wow!! I'll take a look at the thread. In any case it'll be a little while until I can get the parts. But I think I'll do it. My baby deserves a spa ;)

    Telecaster 4 way switch mod

    Just wondering if anyone here's done it before? I've never modded my guitar, and I loveeee my tele so I would hate to mess it up, but I like DIY work and this mod actually seems pretty doable. The whole point is to add a 4th switch that will use the neck and bridge pickups in succession (instead...

    Sorry about the overload of reviews

    We were addressing a few issues with broken links. Starting from today, duplicate reviews should no longer be posted, overloading the forum, so let me know if that isn't the case, thanks!

    Great online resources for vocal training?

    Hey Miro, I guess my post didn't go through from my phone. I'm like you, I have some talent, range and a decent enough voice. The things I REALLY want to improve on is breathing, vibrato and proper mic technique. I feel like I have the raw talent, I just need to polish it up with better...

    Great online resources for vocal training?

    Hey guys, Ideally I would have a vocal coach or teacher, but English-speaking vocal coaches are hard to come by in France, and while my french is not bad, I certainly don't have any sort of musical french vocabulary which would complicate things. I've googled and seen different things on...

    Blue Yeti USB Microphone - Best USB Mic?

    My brother uses the Yeti for voiceovers for his animation. I just recently got an acoustic shield that I wanted to test out while stateside, and so I tried it on his Yeti. Let me just say right away that the yeti sounded like dogshit compared to a Blue Spark or my CAD M179 (love that mic, still...

    Double tracking vocals

    I'd be curious to hear how that sounds. I've heard of people (when triple tracking) panning hard left, right and dead center, but I'd like to hear how the subtlety of the L and R tracks being barely audible and practically dry would play off against the main w/ the compression/verb

    Compressing left and right guitar tracks

    Both of these are pretty correct. I think you're expecting too much for the compressor and not using it to the best of its abilities. By sending them both to a bus, even if they're quite dynamically different tracks at different parts of the song, is imho shooting yourself in the foot. If...

    Phantom power/focusrite 2i4 issue

    The link lead to the NT1-A for me. If the above suggestions don't work, I know it sounds silly but sometimes the simplest things fix the issue. For example, someone suggested trying a different port, did that help? How about messing with the USB settings? And often, signals cutting in and out...

    Keeping it simple!

    Greg has said many things on HR, often times delightfully and relentlessly politically incorrect things. But of the many posts I've read, one that's always stood out is the importance of the source above all else. That's actually where I personally struggle most, as I find myself trying to do...

    Deciding between large diaphragm condenser mics

    In a perfect world you'd do this, particularly since mics and their perceived quality vary drastically depending on the specific voice and application for the mic. I will throw in the CAD M179 as a fantastic mic and it only cost me like 115 bucks, but test out as many mics as you can yourself if...

    Best way to learn how to mix songs...

    Honestly these days, with iphones and tablets and clouds and all that shit, people want things spoonfed and give up too soon. Let me say this: I was like you, OP (still am) but now I'm trying to develop my skills. It's really intimidating. The most frustrating part is I don't even know the...

    "Paranoid Android" - Calimoose on vocals.

    I also still have lots of work to do regarding getting the hang of my Renaissance channel (namely the compressor) and learning how to get the most of it...

    "Paranoid Android" - Calimoose on vocals.

    Well I spent some time processing the vocals and finally wrapped it up so here's what I managed (using whatever instrumental I had at the time. I think it's been updated since...). Nothing crazy, just some EQ, compression, melodyne panning and that's pretty much it. I probably should've done...

    From Creation to Mix with Fab Dupont

    Ya honestly I'm enjoying it as well. Glad you had a good time. I'm using the tracks to improve my own skills as well. I like your mix, the only thing I can say is there is too much reverb in the beginning of your mix which I think get in the way of the intro vocals and diminish the transients a...

    "Paranoid Android" - Calimoose on vocals.

    I'm gonna see if tonight after work I can get some time to have a go at processing the vocals a bit. I'll keep you posted but hopefully it'll do the rest of your mix justice, as I just feel the vox doesn't stand up to the instrumentals

    From Creation to Mix with Fab Dupont

    Great job vasdim. I just took a quick listen and compared to some other entrants, I think you did a great job. The verse vox in particular sounds great. The only thing that stood out to me was the "Oh if I only knew" pre-chorus vocals sounded a little muddy relative to the rest of the vox tracks...

    Drum buss processing: two different approaches

    +1 on the 2. When you aren't sure, #2 is always a safer bet than #1 ;)
