If you get a nice LD condenser that may work well for vocals and acoustic guitar then maybe grab an SM57 like you said or maybe a Sennheiser dynamic for the electric. The good thing about the Sm57 and condenser is that you could blend the two while recording guitar. You may not need a third...
ok it doesnt seem like anyone has helped u too much. The Mic package is good but it wont work with that USB interface that USB interface runs on 1/4 inch inputs like a guitar and those mics are condenser mics that use XLR male/female. Even if you could get a XLR to 1/4 inch conerter/cable you...
well now that line666 released the "Pocket POD" I've lost alot of love I had for them. I still treasure my XT but the pocket POD is comparable to a digitech RP50. OK im ready to get flamed.:D
Thats cool but as far as drums go I don't ever need really really expensive preamps because I want a true uncolored sound that I can color while mixing. Drums are alot of time the thing that you are going to need to have control over each track especially considering the problem most people...
I second the behringer ada8000 I use that along with my emu 1212m and that gives me 8 nice mic pres for drums and two 1/4 line ins for guitar/bass and whatever else that is line level. Emu=150 ADA8000=220 can't beat that with a 400 dollar mixer. It gives you all that plus firewire spdif midi...
besides the really noticable lack in low end (my bass is at 5 o' clock and it sounds like 12 o' clock) and a little bit of off beat drums (just one[?] snare hit.) it sounds good. Thats not your fault though. Im surprised the bass guitarist didn't say anything. was there a bass dude? If there...
That would make since but I really do believe that a good recording will sound good on anything. If you are paying someone to master your tracks I don't really think you would want to pay them for ten different versions. (just about everyone has different speakers/headphones) From what he...
I usually play metal so my mastering proccess consists of some EQ'n and Limiting/Compressing to a point where my wave file is pretty square (not really) with very short spikes but of course without harsh distortion. Mastering to me has always been a way to sweetin the mix and pump up the...
Hey I can actually agree with them for the most part. I believe that people "know" their speakers or headphones so well that they can generally tell you how its going to sound in another system (sort of) For the most part I wouldnt say its a terrible idea but you are probably going to end up...
Thanks so much everyone. I think I have learned alot from what you have said but I think it turned out pretty... ..er... decent. It is no Mona Lisa but I was never too good with finger paints in kindergarten either. Thanks again for all of your responses. Ill be sure to return the favor If...
Ok here is the scoop. I have been procrastinating painting/fixing up my guitar for a while. It is an Ibanez DTX120 (yeah yeah ugly destroyer/iceman wanna be) Finally the guitar broke down to a point where the only way to fix it was to replace the volume 500k pot. I decided to put a 250k pot...
Hi I am fairly new to recording but Ill try and give you my two cents since forums seem to be slow. There is one thing that sticks out and thats the drums You can really hear what sounds like a small room in the drums. I can agree that the bass drum is too high and it does sound like you are...
