Exactly what everyone said. Engineering is a hard hard field to get into and you will have to be real good with people and real good at all aspects of recording and engineering. The thing is you have to work super hard and be able to make impressions on people that want them to have you back. I...

I got a Tascam US2000 for drums and scratch tracks at the same time. I mix IMB. Best $349 i every spent. 16 ins(8 xlr, 6 line and the rest digital) and 16 outs. The puppy does everything.

i have a degree in fine art and do graphic design for huge corporation. I need the degree to get a decent job in this part of the field because they look for degrees on a resume. Take that into consideration. The number one thing for most art stuff though is portfolio and experience. I would...

i have a tascam us2000. 8 xlr inputs, 4 or 6 line inputs and digitals inputs as well. Everything can record at once. I have the 8 xlr's connect to the drums. I take a di for bass on 1 line in and have a cheap art tube mp for another line input. We use the line input for scratch tracks. Works...

The tube mp is not going to help you with anything. I have a mbox mobilepre as my first guy. it was about 125 or so. 2 in and 2 outs. Just through the mic to there and boom. The second input is good if you want to recording like a guitar or keyboard or another vocalist with you. It comes with an...

how are they tuned. My drum tunes the tops to b flat and the bottom to e i think or vice versa i forget sorry. Also how are the heads? You will be surprised on how much new heads make a difference. also you might want to invest in a bunch of different style skins and find the ones that best fit...

couldn't i just get an XLR to TRS cable?

Sounds good. What sort of mic set up did you use.

i need 2 right now and i might need 1 morre (2 scratch guitars and 1 scratch bass). For scratch guitars and bass i just run them through a VST for sound so they down bleed into the drums. If i go from guitar to DI then amp simulator i would not need a the preamp right? I ask this because i found...

Here is the situation and i am not sure what i need. I have my Tascam US2000 and the 8 xlrs are used for the drums. What i need is to record 2 or 3 scratch tracks to the line inputs. These will just be guitar and bass and i just used VST plug ins for sound on them. They are strictly scratch...

yep. that what he did. The best things is just record, record, record. I am best friends with my drummer so we sometimes just hang out and mess around with mic placement and such. That is the best thing to do.

Pleas epost a sample of your recording when you can. I would like to hear what it sounds like. I personally do the recorderman technique plus kick and snare. Then I added i mic the toms and the another on the front head of the kick. I then add a room mic. The thing is that 95% of the drums are...

i like the guitar sounds. The drums are what are loosing it for me. Reminds me of old death metal from a long 80's, thin and lifeless. What drum plug in are you using? I would listen to Testament "Formation of Damnation" as Paul Bostaph's drums really work on the straight double bass parts as...

I have a Us-2000 and it is pretty darn simple to use. I have recording using all 8 xlrs at once, i also have a headphones out mix and used the lines in. It sounds good to me. I mean the pre's are what they are. For the price of this you are really getting it to cost-effectively have a lot of...

Hmm. i think i will do this. as well as bass traps on the wall. thanks

Yeah i was hoping it would lower the volume at least a little bit. I also want to start treating my room and thought that this might be a good start. Along with 4 2x4 bass traps. I am rearranging all my equipment and mixing locations this weekend and I am going to try to get this going. You...

all you need is a re amp pedal for and plug it in between you line out from the 1800 and the amp. This will bring the signal to instrument level. Then just mike the cabinet and change the settings until you have it right. Re amp boxes are quite cheap. I want to recording all my guitars this way...

Ok i got it now. I think i will build a re amp box and a active di box. Both are relatively simple to build and should be fun. I also work in an electronic repair shop and if anything is a bit off i have electricians that can help me identify the problems. Thanks a lot for the help.

I tried searching and could quite find the answer. I am looking to soundproof on some ,evel the drop ceiling in my basement studio. I wanting to stuff the drop ceiling with Roxul Safe'n'Sound Unfaced. It is the only think at my big boc store that is available and rated for soundproofing...

ahhh i gotcha now. Each link in the chain will lower the signal so you need to make sure it is stable through the connections. steve
