Hi, really nice work, I too find the guitars to be really boomy though. I also second the opinion about wanting the vocals much more upfront. Both harmony lines are excellent in my opinion. About the arrangement, have you considered recording it with only one guitar track (perhaps a two...

I have an opportunity to buy a dirt cheap A&H GL3 (5000 SEK=$500) as a front end to my computer recording setup but I can't find very much information about the preamps. An extensive search on the Internet tells me that the GL3 is still used as a monitor/FOH mixer. The GS3's preamps have a good...

Hi, I definitely hear the later Radiohead influence on the song as well, but that's totally positive in my book. I, too, would request little things happening in the background, the main synth sequence doesn't seem to be able to carry the whole song. In my head, I'd like the rhythm loop to be...

Thanks CyanJaguar and TexRoadkill. Samich17, I actually had an idea about writing a 'bass line' for cello instead of the organ, a friend in my class does have, and play, the cello and I've been dying to record it, it's just one of those instruments that I can't seem to hear enough of in music...

Hi, I finally got to sit down and listen to your stuff, I just picked a song by chance: 'dog outside a supermarket'. First, it sounds very good, very well balanced frequencywise. Would you mind sharing what you used to record? Or just point me to the thread were you have already... Songwise...

Thanks for the comments Jon X, I'm going to see how my new preamps might enhance the sound and then just try what you said, recording little bits of music over and over with the mics in new positions. Henrik, getting rid of room reflections sounds like a good idea, I'll definitely give that a...

missed something Henrik, Thanks for the thought about the vocals, I feel really uncomfortable with my singing and could use tips like these. As a swede you might have heard 'Paus' - Peter Svensson from The Cardigans and friends. This is my main source of inspiration for this type of music, was...

First, thanks a lot for the opinions. The acoustic's harshness is my main recording obstacle right now. I have a Guild D4, it's a wonderful guitar, it can't be compared with a Martin or a Gibson Songbird, but the sound has similar qualities, thanks to the Mahogany body i imagine. When recorded...

The guitars are absolutely killer! Wow, those guitars really make the song go forward. Recorded with the C1000s eh? Well, that just shows what we all knew, it's the playing that matters, not the equipment. At least that's what I tell myself everytime I record something. Ehh, I wish I did...

Just thought I'd try posting something here. It's seems like a great idea, giving and getting comments from people in the same home recording environment as oneself is in. This song is an acoustic guitar/vocals piece with an organ track and a bit of electric guitar. It was recorded with a MXL...

Pay for. Yeah, sonusman, the idea was to get an opinion on what the best investment would be to get around the problem. I see your point, and the others who replied probably saw it too, maybe they just answered me with a little more finesse and ingenuity. blahblah ;) /Henrik

My room dimensions are 3,5x3,5 meters. I live in a one room apartment so this is my mix/tracking/sleeping/living room. Therefore the possibilities of optimizing the room are limited... But I will definitely look into the ETF analyzing program anyway. Personally, I think it's a combination of...

I've been using K-Rok's for four years now in different environments and I would like to get any opinions from other users of these monitor speakers. I've noticed a bass buildup around 110 Hz that is really annoying when you sit in a triangle with equal sides of 1,5 meters. When I move back a...

Thanks Thanks for the replies. I use the Winamp Analyzer as a fast visual testing device for my mixes too, and yes, only the left bars move in a satisfactory way. I don't want to trust these meters only, but a well defined mix seems to show in Winamp as movement all over the analyzer's...

Just thought I wanted to share something which I would like to get some opinions on. I record with a portable setup consisting of a computer running Cubase VST and a Maxi Studio ISIS soundcard. I concentrate on recording acoustic sounds as drums, guitars, bass guitar etc. I have an array of...

Your problem is not likely to be your processor's speed. I have a PIII 450 w. 128 MB RAM and I can play back 24 tracks with 4 send effects and 10-15 insert effects. I have no experience with AMD processors but I've heard of problems with these, but just as many times of systems that work great...

Hi, I have two V67s and two 603s. There was a strange highpitched sound when I plugged the 603s in mixer channels right next to each other but this eventually dissappeared when I plugged them channels further away from each other. I think this might be a problem related to interference in my...

Hi, I've never heard about C2000 without the *B*. Are you referring to the C1000S, C3000/C3000B or am I totally mixed up? ;) I would recommend the Marshall MXL-V67 as a contender in this pricerange. I bought one this summer and have been really satisfied, I also have a C1000S and pair of...

Hi, I bought the MXL-V67 from Mars Music in July and I'm really satisfied with it. I've only compared it to the Akg C1000s and a Milab small membrane condenser (fairly similar to an Oktava MC012 with cardioid capsule, I'd think), but as a vocal mic, for acoustic guitar and as a mono overhead...

I ordered two today, they were $100 a piece so there wasn't really much to fuss about... I was told that the membranes were in perfect condition, is there anything else that can be a soundquality issue with a condenser mic that's a couple of years old? Thanks again
