Is this an advantage compared to possibilities in eq-ing in software? Thanks in advance. Ferry123

In my opinion, like others say, don't use reverb too much. My experience is, that it works well on a snares and vocals. However not recommended, sometimes it works on a bass guitar too (I think it depends on the tempo of the song: in a 120bpm song it works for me). Reverb on guitars? Only when a...

...concerning the melody-playing guitar, a little reverb will do sometimes....

For me, out of overdrive and distortion I choose distortion. Mostly, I do not like clean guitars either. Besides panning, I think it has a lot to do with gain. The guitar playing the chords just a little less loud than the guitar playing the melodies. And, try distortion instead of overdrive...

Maybe this link will help you: http://logicfaq.omega-art.com/ Greetings, Ferry123

Are you sure this link works? (it didn't work for me..) (and yes, I have Acrobat Reader).

Well, the point is: it sounded great WITHOUT BASS. Compression on the bass had already been applied. And I just did NOT want to compromise by putting anything else DOWN, to let the bass come through, for that resulted in a lack of dynamics. So no, nothing was interfering, just the bass guitar...

Thank you, I mostly understand what you're saying boingoman. Except from one thing: The range of frequencies you're talking about, in this example, is that the range between, say, 600 & 850Hz?

The short part of bass playing was really just one note (g#), striked about 16 times. Played on the A-string you only heard BOOOOOOOOMMMM (well, almost only). That same note, played on the D-string sounded very clear in the mix, so I left it that way. And, it's in the part where its...

Here's a link for an excellent article on eq>>> http://www.homerecordingconnection.com/news.php?action=view_story&id=154 But... I have ONE question. I just do not understand what is meant by this phrase (you can read it under the head Cutting the notch. Select a band that is near the range...

It couldn't be phase cancellation. For I have not amped the bass, I have led it directly to my soundcard (Delta 1010LT). By the way, I am quite pleased recording the bass guitar this way. I mean you can process its sound by software compression/distortion/a little reverb. I am kind of a...

D-string vs A-string I use monitors as a reference (I do not have headphones). And YES, I use compression. I drawed a line (for the bass its amplitude that is) but I found out that track automation is not always the answer. I experienced a little yesterday. I found out that the bass part I...

I'll try that. Thanks.

Hello, I hope you can help me with this: I experienced a tiny little problem with a recorded bass guitar. In the mix, just for a second or two, it isn't audible enough. It didn't help to get it louder, so I turned the guitars down . That is one rythm guitar, one lead. Both are doubled...

A voice really needs to be pre-amplified, so you'd better buy a mixer or a mic pre-amp. When it's just about recording a guitar, your soundcard can be good enough (not the fabric one of course). I have got a soundcard with xlr-outs. To be able to record my guitar (directly) I use a cable with a...

Hello, Last night I listened to the debut album of Black Rebel Motocycle Club. I love this album, for it's songs, also for its' sound. What I really love is the way the bass guitar blends with the rest. Can anyone tell me: 1. what's the secret of this bass guitar sound (what frequency...

at carter and others... You're right. I forgot to add LT. Well, can I plug my mic in on the XLR-connections on the soundcard, since it has two mic pre-amps? Or do i need a (physical) Mic pre-amp for it? Thanks in advancce....

Thanks. And if I would want to record vocals, do I need a (physical) pre-amp for my mic to plug in? Or can i Plug my mic in on the XLR on my soundcard (as I ask this, I don't think so)?

I don't see the need to buy a mixer (not that I wouldn't want one). Isn't it so that a mic preamp already has preamps, a mic/line level switch and phantom power (most of the time anyway)? What is the advantage of having a mixer or having a mixer AND a preamp? I use Logic's last version for...

Thank you for your understanding, LPdeluxe. I am going to check this site out. Ferry123
