When you are looking at upgrading there are two principles to keep in mind. The first is that the closer in the signal chain you invest to the musician, the better return on your investment. For example, better instruments above anything else, better mics before preamp, etc. The second...

Its a good question. The reason I'm doing it this way is that I recorded all the instruments in my studio but to get the vocals I have to meet the singer at a rehearsal space near his house. Since the rehearsal space doesn't have recording facilities and my system is not portable, I'm planning...

I'm recording a full rock band project in a different way than I usually work. In this case we've got virtually all the instrumental tracks recorded and then I'll bring those as a stereo mix into another studio to record the singer. To bring him as complete a backing track as possible I...

Its really true about mic positioning. You can start pointing the 57 just left of the center of the cone of your amp speaker and move it in half inch increments toward the the edge of the speaker, listening the whole way. Then do the same exercise but tilt the mic approximately 30-45 degrees...

I have a DM4800 into PT10 as well, although I'm using and imac, not a pc. But maybe I can help. First, I wonder if your remote control of PT from the board is set up properly. Because you mentioned that you can't arm a track for recording on the mixer (which would have to happen in the remote...

and that's 10!

You're not alone but maybe a bit to rigid for the folks you've chosen to have in your session. IMHO the music I like best is not played to a click track because I like the human, organic feeling of a drummer whose time varies and reacts with the the playing dynamics of the band and song. Only...

what a dumb rule

Thanks that is very clear. The 11 rack gets its clock signal from the AESEBU connection to the board, and it seems that all the settings for it are in Pro Tools. I need to dig deeper into this but I'd so much rather be working on my recording and mixing skills than troubleshooting little...

I don't yet have my head around the issues related to syncing digital equipment. I understand basically that word clock is like some kind of digital click track that keeps multiple pieces of digital gear in sync. I believe its tied to the sample rate (44.1, 48, etc.). I also understand that...

Thank you so much for the kind words. We all put a lot of effort into this and I'm glad you like it. But I was very lucky because the band is a truly super talented bunch. This is actually a 3rd take live recording with no fixes of the main rhythm tracks. I didn't even autotune the vocal...

Hi, after a few years of home recording I built a proper recording studio in my music school (I run a music school in NY) centered around PT 10 and a tascam dm-4800 digital mixer. I recorded our teachers doing a cover of Barracuda and this is my first mix in the new studio. I'd appreciate any...

i have gigged and had band practices with a hot rod dlx many times. This is in a fairly loud playing 2 guitar rock band. The amp can produce very good tones, especially rock clean tones. Its interesting that your singer prefers neck pickup, muddy tone (as you describe) but you say the amp is...
