I'd say you most likely need a mic better suited to your singer, but then there's the money issue to consider, and the fact that you might not have any, in which case i'd say you should probably try starting with some EQ rather than compression...subtractive EQ... a compressor is not a musical...

curse these double posts. we need some sort of cap on the number of visitors on the site at one time...those non-contributing bastards are clogging the server... ok...enough rant, back to the music

yeah, generally the bass is DI. Sometimes if needed i will re-amp it later...

if i'm recording other people, i generally like to record the bass and drums together as those two instruments really need to be in the groove with one another. if the bass player and/or drummer need a point of referance for vocals, i might have the singer do a scratch vocal in a different...

jeez...is this for real? "hey fags" ? "i'm making a new record and i'm not going to put a lot of time into the recording" "my songs kick ass but the recordings are really blowing hard" wtf?

Has anyone else heard the song Pretty Life by Jakalope? I used to like Dave Ogilvie, but this song is so over-compressed to hell it's awful. I can barely distinguish one instrument from another...it all just sounds like one big wash of sound. I am so dissapointed. First Dave has to foist the...

lol...yeah...i guess that's pretty important too....though i'm sure i could rig up some sort of hand crank system...

i'm gonna second what Track Rat said... it's not really the equipment you have so much as your ability to use your gear to it's full potential

what?! me...make a tracking error/mistake? Never! well, ok..maybe once or twice...or chronically...whatever... I retrack what i can...but i only really record myself so it's not that big of an issue If it was for another band, i'd probably ask them what they want to do...and work out whether...

IMO zoom is like bottom of the barrel stuff... zoom is to pro audio as kraft singles is to real actual cheese or zoom is to pro audio as shopping cart is to fine automobile that's just from my own experience with their products...i don't even bother with them anymore

umm....Megadeth style... strap on a pound of crystal meth and just go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go etc...

gotta be dre... it's all in the simplicity. Very minimalist..simple melody, simple beat...there is no extraneous instrumentation to clutter the mix.

ouch..that's a fair chunk of change...(about $1,000 USD for the uninformed) if it was me i'd go secondhand...but that's me, and i'm broke...

definitely a better mic and something to feed the mic into the computer. That will be the best place to start. You will in all likelyhood need a better soundcard but that can probably be put off for at least a little while (unless you're loaded with cash and ready to go all out) I've been...

a drum box? where did you get this idea? this is a concept i've never heard of before... I would think this would sound terrible, plus who the hell wants to play drums in an 8x8 box? this whole concept sounds a little screwy to me...

and thus The Bear continues spreading knowledge like a fungus throughout the home recording community, making the world a little safer for our ears... yeah, like a fungus...only less itchy...

Bob Rock needs to stop dicking around with metallica and get back together with Paul Hyde...oh yeah, definitely time for the Rock N Hyde reunion tour!

you took the words right out of my mouth (it must have been while you were kissing me?) cross-posting is totally not cool...cross dressing on the other hand ;)

what can i say, i was bored...and there's not exactly a lot of threads in this forum... I read through all that jibber jabber bibble babble mumbo jumbo crap and there was nothing interesting at all really...i was pissed off to the point of posting you might say.... well, not quite...i was just...

lol, i just realized i'm the only non-dogbert in this thread so far...
