I'm trying the tips with a different track from the same session and my results so far are not coming out very well. Well, the kick drum I followed to your instructions and that came out okay, but I don't know what frequencies to filter out on the snare.

Here's that test mix with your drums. I'm going to try and recreate them when I port this project to Logic. http://www.shrynerocks.com/herenow-01.mp3

As a test, I had thrown your track in to see how the mix would sound (even in sloshy MP3 form), and it was way improved. I think I'll have to move the project into Logic to use any aux buses (I don't think Cubase does that...) if I do that method.

I appreciate the advice, but it's not practical to re-record at this moment. I just need to put together a better mix for a press-pack to give some new clubs/venues that haven't heard us before. Especially pointless when we should be hitting the studio in less than a month. ;) I will try the...

!!! I love it! What on earth did you do? Edit: Reread your post. I didn't know that's what you had done. It came out pretty good to my ears!

Since you seem to be a Mackie guy, how about one of their smaller boards? I've used several of them (in live situations) and they all seem pretty solid.

I can't! :( What you hear is what I've got to work with. They're overheads, so I can't adjust the individual drums. The drums really don't sit well in the mix as is, and if I EQ the snare to how I want it to sound, the cymbals get really thin.

Hi all, Back in March, my band did a quick demo of some of our newer stuff. I just got some monitors, and they tell me how crappy the drum track really sounds, no matter what I do with it. I need some serious advice on EQing the drum tracks I have to make them sound anything listenable. It...

PCI Express is becoming the new standard, but most newer PCs will continue to have both. On my end, the new G5 seem to have ONLY PCI Express. :(

That's a killer price for something that could potentially be a killer instrument. Good luck! :)

I was not talking about publically. I have heard many stories of people going to recording studios to record their vocals with karaoke CD backing tracks. I was told by a friend that our local mall now has a booth that does this.

Well, actually, I think you can, legally. I would think it probably works the same way for those who record vocals on karaoke discs and such. It's for personal use, as a backup copy. This is a heavily disputed argument with copyrights (at least ripping CDs to computers, etc.). You should be...

I run a Mac, and it's my DAW and personal use computer. No viruses/spyware to worry about so it's fine.

Where do I begin? I mostly have problems with the arrangements. The vocals seem very low in comparision, especially the 'backing' vocals, and the hard panned right vocals. On the first song, I can hear rattling or what a mic picks up from a pair of headphones, even though the drums are muted...

Yes, exactly. All G3s starting with the Blue and White and later have 2 Firewire ports built in. Since it's a 400mhz G3, I'll assume it's a Blue and White, unless it was upgraded, etc. And yeah, it'd need a DVD-ROM to install Tiger.

Cubase is a nice piece of software, but you'll need to be running some flavor of Mac OS X. I'm going to guess that this G3 is a Blue and White one, so you can go up to the most current Mac OS, Tiger/10.4, but you'll need a lot of disk space and RAM. The G3s use PC100 RAM and regular IDE hard...

Sorry, didn't notice the language barrier. ;) What does the G3 look like? Is it beige in color? (Off-white plastic) or is it Blue and White with handles and a side door. You can find out what OS you're running by going under the Apple menu in the upper left hand corner, and selecting About This...

Would it be possible to post samples? The only thing I can suggest is to check the gain settings in the M-Audio Control Panel. They have variable signal level adjustment options for the Delta series of cards, and I think the Audiophile should be no different. Try different signal levels to find...

I'll need more information from you in order to help you. What kind of machine is this? A desktop or laptop? Is it a G3 or a G4? How much RAM and disk space do you have? What Mac OS version are you running and do you have the iLife suite? What types of things do you intend to record? And on...

SOME of the Pro world uses Pro Tools. Not everyone does. Just as not everyone in the video world uses Final Cut Pro (even though they should :P). There are plenty of studios out there that use Logic, Sonar, Cubase, etc., though the larger ones will probably have multiple software packages for...
