Only mic I have right now is an AKG C1000 and that was given to me for 50 bucks from a friend so I couldn't pass it up. I'm just looking to build up my mic collection to be able to record some versatile things and obviously the sm57 is one of the best for that. Is the es57 any good? It's...

so i just got my new deville from guitar center on black friday. I love the sound and everything but I noticed when I switch channels (with or without the foot pedal) there is a huge click the louder the volume is when i switch between channels. is this normal or should i have it looked...

ive always dug the fender sound, what would you suggest for a fender 410?

Well I definitely wanna have a good clean channel. I use a gibson SG and want a good crunch channel as well with solid distortion. I really don't know anything about amps and wouldn't know what else to tell you. I'm gonna take a trip to guitar center soon so any suggestions would be helpful. I'm...

I'm actually from New Jersey and going to school in philly, so I doubt that would work out. What one should I buy? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/compare?base_pid=H12887&base_pid=H12885&base_pid=480508&base_pid=480509 there are so many versions and I really can't tell the difference between them!

thanks bob, that helps a lot. I've heard a lot of good things about the fender hot rod. How do you think that would sound with an SG? I completely forgot about large venues miking amps. Very good point. I might have to take your work on the hot rod because I have tried it out before and really...

Well I just wanna know people's preferences because I really don't know where to start. Also, it's difficult to get out to guitar center because I don't have a car here at school and there are no music stores anywhere near us in Philly (believe it or not). So I'd like to know a bit about what I...

Well its indie pop, influenced by bands like manchester orchestra and such so it has both crunchy distortion and acoustic parts in the songs. I'd like to keep my price ranger under 300 but if you think I should save up and buy a half cab used let me know. My goal is to get something cheap that...

So I finally got my act together and started up my band with all the music I've been writing over the years. I figure this is the best place to ask cuz I know how knowledgeable the members are here from past experience. So my question to the board is, what are some inexpensive guitar amps that...

I don't want to add more volume automation. I want to raise the entire volume of a track while keeping the same automated volumes I have, but raising them higher levels. Like if I raise a track from 0 to "3db at 5" seconds, I want to be able to raise the entire track level in the fader. Say I...

Ok so I know I shouldn't do this, but I added vocals to my song after mixing all the instruments. Certain things need to be raised in volumes but I already automated their volumes. Whenever I lower or raise the volumes on the track faders, they read the automation volumes so it doesn't change...

That is delay, I got really technical with it and it took me a very long time to find the delay that actually worked with the song. The guitars are panned but I guess I should pan them more. I would love to take vocal lessons but really have no money for it between drum lessons and all the...

So this is the first time I've fully recorded a song of mine in Logic completely on my own. The drums are midi though so they didn't come out the way I wanted them to. I would much rather record them myself but this was all done in my dorm room so it's all I could manage...

very helpful. +1 kc Thanks again for the responses

Does Beck use a pick? Cuz he shreds solos (like the one on the rock hall of fame concert on hbo) and I'm really impressed if he doesnt.

I actually did try the recorderman method but wasn't too sure how to measure it exactly so we just guessed on where to put the mics based on that same video you linked and then just moved them around until their peaks were hitting at the same times. Another problem was the mics we were using...

Ok on the note of showing good drummers and straying away from arguing, you should take a listen to this.....probably the most impressive band I've seen in concert to date. Make sure to watch from 2:30!!!!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX3_o9gxlD8&feature=related And probably one of my...

When I tried reverb on the vocals it didnt come out too well so I kind of gave up on that. I really need to read up more on compression before I make another attempt at this. Are you critiquing the updated mix?

I'm leaning towards those. Thanks again! Might make a couple searches on craigslist and ebay to try and save some cash for a 57

ok heres a version where only one mic has compression on it. I think this helped the "washy" cymbals. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3759409/My%20Write%20Final.mp3 Thanks for that thread too, I'm gonna give that a read tomorrow and start off the new year the right way!
