Ok guys, before you all get to bashing, telling me that they only way you can tell me what mics I should get is if you were in my studio with my set up and the particular project I am recording at the time, hear me out. I've been doing this for about 3 years now with more or less the same mic...

It won't have high frequency reflections. It all depends on how thick the carpet is, the dimensions of your room and the type of material the walls are made out of. Either way carpet isn't going to do anything for large sound waves that have a longer period (low frequency). I'd only say the...

I'm not sure if this thread would really belong here, but I figured I had an mp3 and this was the best place for that. Basically I'm 17 years old, been playing piano for about 8 of those with classical lessons for the first 4 or so. I study jazz on my own by listening to artist I like...

The drummer is awful, his time is all over the place and technique is holding him back from playing these fast roles he is hearing. and the two guitars are having serious trouble playing simultaneously. Basically it sounds like a group of kids whose only practice routine occurs when they're at...

Thanks BlackHawk, Anyone else?

This one's writen and played by a local metal band I've been recording over the last few weeks. Drums: Kit was a tama rockstar stage custom fusion size drums. OH: Kel HM-1 snare: Shure sm-57 bass drum inside: Shure beta-52 bass drum beater: Shure sm-57 rack toms: mxl 603s floor tom: Shure KSM...

If your looking for overheads that you can use on a lot of other things, I'd have to suggest the MXL 603s. They have a bit of a bump in the highs and sound a little tinny in rooms with metal or brick walls that are close together, but they come in handy for all sorts of drum sounds, acoustic...

Since you are recording drum lessons, you probably want to capture every drum pretty evenly. You should do a close overhead technique like the recorderman one that you can view here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiFOD1EeKhQ This should work fairly well for picking up the two drums. After...

I sometimes gate snare and kick in metal or modern rock songs if the song is asking me to smash the hell out of the drums. If I'm recording a funk or jazz group who needs to sound live I want as much bleed as possible. Then again I never put as much EQ on my drums in those types of mixes, and...

I think you need to re-record all the guitars micing an amp rather than using the line 6. Just from my experiences, I hate everything that line6 makes. Simply put, it sounds digital and fake because it is digital and fake. Everything besides the guitars and a few boomy notes in the bass...

Something sounds really weird about the vocals, but that is my only complaint. I think the snare is fine for this song, maybe a little too fat sounding but I don't think it really needs a heavy high end. I like the general 70s dead sound of the kit. Cool guitar lines and use of two guitars...

I feel like the guitar gets a lot softer when everything kicks in, and its probably the compression on the master track. Well done mix, I can't really comment because I can't do any better myself. Ben

I can't stand the snare sound, sounds like the snares are too loose, or the drummer has no idea how to hit it, which is possibly causing the boxiness. If you aren't re-tracking then I highly suggest you hit your reverb bus hard, or harder. In fact, drums as a whole could use some more verb. I...

I'd use the beta 52 on the bass thingy. I'm assuming your talking about a behringer euro something mixer since thats usually the brand looked down upon, but I actually don't think your clients are going to care. The stereo pair is a good idea, but I would definitly suggest other room mics to...

On an other note, the 58 has the wind screen, so if your looking to do vocals right now I might suggest the 58. I've had many problems with out a pop filter using the 57 for vocals. If I were you I'd by the 57 though. I'd also get it used becuase they are cheap on ebay, and are tough as hell...

I'm not about read through this whole thread considering I read the first page and found people to repeat each other constantly. With that said I'll throw in what I think hoping that it was not already said. I own a couple of these and have come to realize after the last few years that I only...

Good choice then.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiFOD1EeKhQ Thats the recorderman method in action. Sounds like what your talking about. How much I would pan depends on a lot of things. Ben

Logic autimatically sets up tracks named "bus1" through what ever depending on your version. If you use one of the sends on a recorded track for that bus it sends the signal to that bus while also playing straight in the master track. Under all the effects inserts and sends there are inputs...

Go back into the room with the amp. Turn it up because you are trying to get a hard rock guitar sound that needs to be big and in your face. I suggest making what ever EQ there is on the amp flat and try turing up what ever you have as a mid knob until you really think the guitars are getting...
