thank you guys!

Okay, so I'm kinda new to recording, and I'm kinda confused with the guitar. I record mainly metal/hardcore guitar and as you may know, on 99% of all well recorded metal CD's the guitar has a huge almost monstrous sound to it. In order to get this sound, is it all about the amp/cab, the mic...

I already have a Presonus Firepod, I'd just be more comfortabe using an analog mixer rather than a computer software mixer.

what kind of mixer do you have? because i would need one with direct outputs right?

okay, thank you!

alright, thanks! and any suggestions on how to make my kick sound less boxy?

I'm quite new to recording, so I'm still learning how everything connects together (no pun intended). Is there a way to connect an analog mixer to a computer and connect it with your computer software? (not as one track but seperate tracks?) Thanks! -Steve PS: I know there are digital...

okay, I' m very confused, and it might be my fault haha, but lemme clarify everything: I use Logic 8 Software I mic my overheads with 2 Audix F15's. I record them on Logic as ONE stereo track, meaning one of the mics is panned all the way to the left, and the other mic is panned all the way...

nawh, mine pans left and right

Oh sorry, I used two mics and recorded them into 1 stereo track

No, I recorded them onto one track as a stereo track

I did mic the overheads in stereo, and doing toms in stereo would sounds pretty good too. what's a good way that I could go about making my kick less boxy? Thanks everyone for your feedback! -Steve

okay, here's the link to a sample of a band I recorded: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/43411-WAYYADrums.mp3

obviously the final decision is up to you, but personally I hate using software instruments. None of today's software can compare with the true tone and fullness of miking a tube amp. But it is very convenient if you're on a low budget/not THAT interested in recording

If you're a beginning I'd start around $10 per song, maybe $15-20. Once you feel that your quality is starting to compete with the "bigger" studios around you, then up your prices to $10-20 an hour.

alright lemme get 2 more posts and I'll get you a link, thanks!

Here's my current setup: -AKG D 112 on the kick -SM57 on the snare -Sennheiser e604's on the rack toms -Audix F12 on the floor tom -2 Audix F15's for the overheads (stereo)

I feel so stupid. but.... Normally I've been just plugging my drum mics straight into a firepod and into my computer. Many people have just said "wow...that sounds pretty good for just using a firepod as a preamp." and other stuff of that nature. I feel very stupid asking this because it's...
