anyway- for the reasons you said, I want to split the bass frequencies so its low bits are center, and its higher bits are slightly right. is this possible?

generally I keep everything mono but drums because i KNOW that the oh's are going to be panned, and I at least start panning toms. everything else i do keep center until later. "do NOT pan bass/guitar opposite to eachother" - the doors did it. saying that their producer is wrong? "Bass dead...

So I'm in a band with drums, bass and guitar. We're recording soon, and I'm contemplating how I should pan everything. Our genre would probably just be "rock," as its fairly heavy, but much of it is inspired by funk and jazz. The bass does a lot of slap, the guitar does a lot of hi chords on the...

because louder mixes sell better, it's a fact of the industry. go do your research. a good record isn't worth shit if its not gonna get sold. music is a business, sorry to let you down. it would be less of an issue if anyone actually listened to CDs anymore cause you can change the volume. but...

perceived "loudness" Just because two songs are playing at the same decibel doesn't mean they will be the same apparent volume. The human ear best detects high-mid frequencies. A 4kz sound will sound louder than a 50hz sound even if they are the same decibel.

NT-1a +1 on the Rode NT-1a Got it recently, LOVE it. If you know how to use EQ you can get so many sounds out of it.

removed it, my apologies

as far as volume goes... I'm not sure how to make your guitar come in louder... make sure your interface isn't using any -10 db switches, use different inputs, try a different mic, etc. if its still quiet, most DAW have a gain plug-in that just raises volume. garage band sucks though... sorry...

^thats just a cool idea by the way, and is very uncommon. usually bass is dead center.

Try this Pan guitar and bass left and right, but make sure the guitar has lots of low end, and the bass has lots of high end and middle. Match the frequencies, you know? it can be kinda cool and leave lots of drum space. This works even better if the bass is going to be distorted.

nevermind. got it covered.

Could anyone hook me up with a fat ding-ing bell sample from a ride cymbal? or point me to a place that has one? I'm under a time crunch and going through free sample packs for an hour isn't an option. Thanks.

I found this link, and he seemed to know what he was talking about. Obviously there is no sure fire way to mix bass guitar but in my experience this seemed to be a good guide. Tips in Mixing Bass Guitar like a PRO If there's anything wrong with this, please point it out. If not, I hope it can...

Trent Reznor ^that his lyrics are some of the most brutally honest i've ever heard and he will be a continuing source of inspiration.

"Volume" You can basically ignore how "loud" things are until you're dealing with the master fader. This is especially true if you're working in 24bit recording. nothing really needs to be at 0 db until the end. Once you get to the master fader, you can add gain, limiting, or compression to...

Bare bones good recording rokit monitors are some of the best low end monitors you can get. the tascam us-1800 is one of the best input to cost interfaces. i highly recommend investing in either logic or protools, because they are the industry standards. just learn em.

if you drop it, it will probably break. and they're so sensitive that too much sonic force could also break them. they're more for studios in a controlled audio space.

look at your drum EQ (with an analyzer function), bring down some of the peaks, use a light compression maybe 3:1, fast-ish attack, use a tempo/bpm chart to time the release to the song tempo. Accentuate the super high treble (15k to 20k) by maybe 2-3 db for that shimmer. it can fake "quality"...

I've found that forcing consistant guitar volume using compression makes it sound really shitty. So, as far as dynamics go, practice keeping your levels consistant. Don't hit certain strings too hard, etc. From there you can use a little compression. If you are recording distorted guitar...

...please tell me your trolling right now In case you didn't know, Blue is a company that makes microphones.
