How did you do the drums bass and guitar in this? Ben

You hit the one of the mics near the begining. I don't have quicktime pro so I can't download it and tell you at what time it is but I know its on the second snare and splash hit when you go in your first beat after the fill in the intro. It sounds like its on a snare mic so I'm assuming there...

I started using the KSM 27 paired with a 57 on heavy guitars a little while back, and haven't switched back since. Something in the KSM sounds a little scooped to me, while we all know that the 57 has that huge bump in its high mid frequency response. Something about the two always punches a...

No P-J is right, the master track was clipping constantly, I'll take the fader down a few db and repost tomorrow. I hear that muddiness to, you think its around 100-200hz in every instrument. This mix consists of two overheads, real snare and triggered snare, bass drum inside, bass drum beater...

This is the first of probably 3-5 mixes. This band has been recording in my shitty studio for about a month, and this mix was done with the drummer watching over my shoulder in about an hour. My ears got really tired quickly so I'd appreciate as much feedback as you are willing to give (even...

What kind of hi-hats are you using?

I suggest you register on John Sayers forum and read a bunch. There are a bunch of senarios just like yours there. Then once you read a lot, go ahead and post your problem, and see what the good people there can help you do. You're going to need to be specific. Also, do you know how high the...

If the echo you are describing is truly echo, then its not the drums, its the sound of the drums in the room. Meaning its really the room. If your looking to controll some of that get some owns corning and study up on acoustics to find out where best to put it. Blankets and pillows will even...

The DI went from the head into a DI box into an m-audio octane pre-amp. It was using the distortion from the head like Mistral said. It was a technique someone recomended to me for "heavy guitars". This was the first time I had tried it and personally I'm not too much of a fan. It definatly...

Wireneck: That is the second time I've heard that it reminds someone of lamb of god. No I don't have a hi-pass on the guitars in fact the guitars don't have anything on them yet. I'm thinking I should suck a little bit out of the low mids to get rid of some of the muddiness in them and make...

No thats completely alright, honest mistake, but could you listen to it now and give me some other critique. Also, I don't think you are too far off, the mix doesn't have much bass in it, but the guitars I fealt made up for that. Keep in mind that this is a recording of only two people. Ben

Been recording this one for four days. Drums: 2 Kel HM-1s for overheads no particular placement technique besides being measured equally to the bass drum and snare. 57 on snare about 3 inches up and one inch back faced towards the center. Beta 52 1 inch into the whole of the bass drum, and one...

In my experience, the new Drumagog does a pretty good job at catching the dynamics of a track. With the new added free samples and the latency issues fixed, it's probably the most realistic triggering software for a pretty affordable price out there. And although the triggered sound may not be...

I know this isn't the mp3 mixing clinic, but I've got to say the tune sounds great and you tracked if very very well. The snare seems a bit to prominent but I don't think its just a level thing. Maybe you could tame it with a nice sounding reverb? Just enough to knock its presence down a bit...

In my experience the Onstage stuff is wimpy. I know you may not be thinking about something that will hold up and will last, but get something sturdy, and something with balls for god sakes. My onstage stands broke faster than the musicians friend brand! I say go with Tama, or see what you...

The myspace player is unreliable, can you put it somewhere besides that, like www.lightningmp3.com for instance. Thank you, Ben

https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=179563 It's in there. I'm pretty sure SPI is one of, if not THE most known company for OC products, and other insulation needs. I've seen it on this board numerous times, and I actually bought my $350 worth of 703 at the one in MA. Ben

The i5 definitely fits more here than a 57, or at least what I think a 57 would sound like from just hearing this track. Pretty well done recording for a completely rough mix. Good tight sound from the players too. Just wondering, what mix did you use on bass drum. Ben

I agree that we are going to need more info. My biggest question is what are you trying to record live? Is it a full standard rock band with a 5 piece kit or more, guitar(s), bass? Is it something more? Do you have horns? How many people are you trying to record at a time? If you think you...

bump... anyone? Ben.
