The thing about Travis is he knows what to play, when to play it, and when not to play at all. That's all there is to it.

Winamp 5 Utilizes the CDDB much like WMP so you don't have to type anything in, but can rip to any format, including AAC, which is what I use. A 192kbs AAC is a smaller file, and sounds better than a WMA, or MP3 of the same bitrate. Winamp also has a fantastic Library function, similar to that...

Hey guys, I am by no means a guitar player (Vocals mainly, drums second). But I try, and I have a cheap ass little Epiphone Les Paul Knock-Off, and a cheap Crate practice amp. But I've found this works on my guitarists rig too. Turn your dirty channel on, and palm mute your strings with your...

Thanks a lot guys, I think I'm going to end up printing this page out, and going to town on the drums. Unfortunately I only manage to get over there about two times a week, but this time around, we should get a pretty nice sound. I'll re-post a sample after I apply all these changes (granted we...

Yes, two mics in an XY config. I've read a lot on the subject, and obviously you can't just read and be a pro, so all this messing around, and you guys are helping tons. Thanks for commenting, and if you have any more tips, I'd love to hear them.

That I would have to check on today, I want to say Remo, and the snare is the one that has all the little tiny holes punched into it around the diameter.

Get a good picture of the kit with the over heads then start placing the close mics where they are needed. On the snare you might try underneath or just backing up a bit from it and aiming at the center of thead. <b>Spankenstein</b>, I tried underneath and it sounded even worse, I'll have to...

I've got an AKG D 112 about 3 inches away from the beater head, just below center, facing directly at it, the Audix mics, clipped onto the toms, with their connectors, about an inch above, and about an inch in from the rim, pointing at the center of the toms, a mic placed above the snare, about...

My drummer plays a DW kit, and has it all tuned up nice, and it sounds great when we play. I tried to record it, and it sounds awful. I have an MP3 posted online here, http://www.pushtovent.com/audio/record/drumsample.mp3 and I wondered if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong. Especially...

ha ha. Maybe that too.

Believe it or not, playing the drum track in a downsized winamp, and recording to that, works like a charm. I've recorded other local bands this way, and keeping sync has never been a problem. The poor mics, and lack of a mixer was!

We're limited to just two mono tracks, or one stereo track through the tascam US-122, so we're using a stereo wav editor. I would love to multi-track if I could, but with what we have, I have decided this is the best way to do it. Unless you guys know a better way to do it. I would love suggestions!

Every try a beep track? It takes a bit to get used to, but it's very easy to hear a beep over snare, and cymbols. like "BEEP boop boop boop BEEP boop boop boop..." You know?

Travis - Thanks for the links, great info on those pages. Yes -- I plan on recording every track, individually in Sound Forge. And then importing them to Vegas. Why not record straight into Vegas? Because when you click to edit the track, it just opens it in Sound Forge, so I'm saving...

I've been using Sound Forge since I've been able to afford it, and I know it like the back of my hand, and feel ultra comfortable in that program, so for ease of use, and results, I've chosen that route. I've actually got your site bookmarked for that free sample. And in all honesty, (don't hate...

I've been reading this BBS for 6 months, and tomorrow my band starts production on our first full length album. We have: AKG C 3000B Microphone for vocals and acoustic instruments. AKG D 112 Microphone for bass drum, and bass. Sennheiser E825 S Microphone for snare DOD 830 Series II Graphic EQ...

Nothing is more annoying! I feel your pain!
