I still like the production on Dream Theater's "Falling Into Infinity"

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say!!! It should be noted that vocals were tracked with some compression to keep from clipping... but not much. I haven't tried a fast release before, though.... I may mess with that tonight. When you say fast though, how fast? Like, below 100ms?

How do most of you commonly use compression for vocals? What I used to do was just find a point in the wave form where it started to get excessively loud, use that as a general threshold point, then use a moderate compression with a fairly fast attack and a medium release. It did tame the...

I totally agree with notching the guitars where the snare sounds good.

Tex, I know where you live. Well, within a 30 mile radius of it.

This is more of a psychology question than actual physical recording, but I wasn't sure where else to ask it. Here's the scenario- we do a take or two of the vocalist, which are pretty good, but could be better. So we decide to try again. However, the more takes we do, the more he starts to...

Yes, it's electrical... the pop is from a power surge thingy similar to the one EvilWeeWee described. What's a power conditioner, what does it do, and where can I get one?

I have an AC in my apartment that goes on and off about every 15 minutes or so, and everytime it does, it makes a very noticeable "pop" (this can be heard recording or not). Why would my AC turning on and off cause a pop? What about it interfers with the line in? Is there anything I can do about...

HAHA, I was wondering how long it was gonna take for someone to say it.

You know, I think it's Cakewalk 9.... I've tried recording on a couple of other software packages and don't have this problem, only on CWAP 9. Strange.... *ponder, ponder....*

This thread is still going? I agree to an extent on a lot of these points (like the "ugly guy" members thing). But it doesn't necessarily apply to us, I found, when a female pointed out to me that all of us are good-looking guys when I asked her why we have so many female fans when half of our...

Sounds fairly similar to the dilemna I'm having, although it seems to happen when I'm recording in Cakewalk..... I'd be interested in anything anyone has to say....

*slaps forehead* Today's been a long day. Yes, I meant the Audiophile 2496 soundcard. For some reason, I was thinking about the monitors by the Studiophile name (the SP 5B's)

Nope, already thought of that. I can visually *see* the pops recorded into the wave file when I view it in a wave editor. It's happening somewhere after it reaches the analog input and the signal is being turned into a wave file.

FYI, I have a: 1.5ghz, 512 megs ram, 60 gig hd PC with a Studiophile 2496 recording in Cakewalk at 24/48. So, I'm recording, and when I play it back, I get popping and clicking in a predictable rate; about the speed of a ceiling fan on medium speed if you were to touch it with your fingers...

Alright, alright.... Okay, think of what I said in my previous reply under the context of, "I've already adjusted volume, panning, compressed, etc, etc, and I've done everything but eq the damn thing." Better, Chessrock? :D

You know, there's a word that you probably don't want to hear, but it must be said. The answer to your question the way I work is: sacrifice. If you like the attack in the guitars at 2.5khz, and you like the attack in the bass at 2.5khz, and you like the attack of the kick drum at 2.5khz, it's...

You could build the world's first "head isolation box". I could see a lot of uses for something like that. Especially if the significant other won't shut up and let you record.

Hey, thanks! Maybe I should start my own thread and give Ed's old "Share some secrets" thread some competition.

Got an mp3?
