    string quartet

    Hmmm. . . I am going to have to disagree. A good string quartet is going to be very dynamic and will balance themselves out. All they are going to want is recording of their music that represents how they sound. No hype, no effects other than a bit of reverb and maybe a tiny bit of EQ. DON'T...

    Ribbon Mics Useful?

    I agree I have a Beyer M-260 and 2 old Shure Unidyne 330 ribbons. I got to hear a couple Royer SF1's as drum overheads yesterday that are very smooth. Ribbons certainly have a larger than life sound on acoustic instruments and can be very smooth for voices. Remember those Nat King Cole and and...

    New Rough Mix Of New Song

    Well hmmmm. . . Maybe I should get new monitors, because other than the dark quality to the drums I really don't hear all that. -I agree that the guitar sound is different and so are the drums to some degree. Could these just be artistic complaints? -I know there is a serious lack of highs in...

    New Rough Mix Of New Song

    After such helpful comments from a song I posted on here about 3 weeks ago, I decided to see if you guys/girls could help me on this mix also. http://www.elohsa.com/beezoboy/Gas_Money.mp3 *Caution* The "F word" is used a couple times in this song. The song is about how we got dicked over at a...

    ** Already picked mics for home studio...NOW WHAT ABOUT ...**

    Fletcher I quite agree with you. My original goal was to give him some fuctionality around what he already wanted. I actually use a Q10 and it gives astonishingly good results. Neve pres, no, but usable IMO. Better than Mackie and Behringer with more gain and cleaner, not that that is saying...

    ** Already picked mics for home studio...NOW WHAT ABOUT ...**

    The Soundelux U195 is trying to emulate the U47. Same as the Lawson L47. That would be a bad purchase IMO. Also if he gets the LYNX cards he has to buy preamps. I was trying to avoid that and give as many features as possible on the first 10k. Better A/D conversion and pres can come later down...

    F'king Moisture

    Well I am in Statesboro, only about an hour away and I have to say I never have had any moisture problems. Heat definately is an issue, but thats what AC is for. BTW, I cant get you page to load Malcolm. Beez

    ** Already picked mics for home studio...NOW WHAT ABOUT ...**

    C7sus I'll have to disagree here. The Layla has not the best clock and doesn't have preamps. Also I bet it doesn't have half the functionality. It has ability to a headphone mix, and the preamps aren't too bad. They go up to 75db gain and are very quiet. Not bad. Also there is inserts and...

    Beyer Mics?

    They just aren't sold in the US except by Sweetwater and maybe a couple others, but their prices are high. Check ebay. Beez

    A ROCK recording on new equipment

    There are harmonies in the chorus, but our guitar player is in Sweden then going to Italy so he won't be back for another 10 days or so. He sings the back-up vocals. After that we will do harmonies on the chorus 2nd and 3rd time through and retrack bass. I found out I had one of my bass drum...

    A ROCK recording on new equipment

    No I mixed on monitors. . . but normally I try to check in a car with a sub, and on Tannoy Reveals at the University I worked at. I haven't done that as this is still a rough mix, so I can't really be sure about the low end. I mix on Alesis Monitor 1 MkII's and the low end can be a little...

    A ROCK recording on new equipment

    Schenkerguy . . . thats odd that you think the snare sounds dry. It has gate - compression - reverb on it. The kick is having a hard time coming through the bass and guitars, I realize this. The bass is going to be re-tracked because we decided to try going direct out of a Hartke head instead...

    FS: M-Audio USB Duo

    I have recently upgraded to a Q10 so I really don't need this anymore. $125 + $10 shipping. You'll get it in original box with a USB cable. Sorry but I lost the driver disk. Drivers can be downloaded easy enough from the web though. www.elohsa.com/beezoboy/Song 6.mp3 Thats a song I...

    A ROCK recording on new equipment

    Gidge, Well I guess I could see adding the sparkle myself, but I really am not to that point yet. I am still waiting for our guitarist to get back from Sweden to lay some back-up vocals for the song and we are considering retracking the bass as it is a little flat (not intonation) sounding...

    A ROCK recording on new equipment

    High end definition is exactly what I don't want. I mean the sparkle can get added at the mastering stage. I realize the tracking is not going to be any clearer, but they can add that sizzle to the vox and cymbals. I feel like I have good seperation in my tracks, but this is just a dense mix...

    Can a song be too warm? I mean too much warmth could mean muddy, so is this song muddy? Beez
