    Not happy with guitar recordings (need help)

    I agree on the mutiple rythem tracks but that's not all that's important. The raw first take should sound good on its own.

    Not happy with guitar recordings (need help)

    There should be very little editing once it's in the box. Mic and Amp are good. New strings, good amp, and decent mic are great.

    Recording with what I have

    Good point, but I never said anything free was a piece of crap. There has to be a reason it's free. That's all I said.

    Recording with what I have

    No doubt it will do the job. But are the built in plug-ins going to be that great? I honestly don't know. I've never used reaper. But there has to be a reason it's free.

    Recording with what I have

    Your going to need a mic preamp and interface (analog to digital). They make mic preamp / interface combos. Presonus makes an array of these. You should decide what your trying to achieve with this. If your planning on getting an entire band involved then that will determine the gear your...

    Roland TD

    At which TD model did they start putting the direct outputs on the brain? I know the newer ones have it.

    You ever wonder......

    Agreed, some of the coolest stuff I like is demo's of unreleased material. The quality is terrible. I almost believe I could have done the production with a rat shack mic and boom box and it would have been the same result. But the musical content is great enough to overcome the poorly...

    Is it wise to buy used equipements ?

    These are what I use at home. I have had them for many years now. They have never gave me problems in fucntionality.

    a noob question about the delta 1010Lt

    My bad, I had the non LT version (the rack). Which brings up another good point. It looks like you have to use RCA connectors:eek: Unless you buy an xpensive sub cable.

    a noob question about the delta 1010Lt

    Well, with the Delta 1010 your getting 8 channels of conversion only. In order to get from the mic to the interface (delta1010) your going to need a preamp for each simutanious mic you will be using. You can use mic pres from a mixer but it does not need to be a powered mixer to do this...

    Recording Bass Guitar

    this^^^^ I DI only on the bass but I use a Vintech preamp and a MIJ fender squier bullet bass from the 80's. I don't think I would get much better mic'ing an amp using that bass. I am pleased with the results.

    Seriously is there any difference between free plugins and paid ones?

    Ok... then why did you ask the question? How do you know it does the same thing mathematically? Did you look over the shoulder of the people that developed both plug-ins? Can you not hear the difference between the two? Or is it that you need some justification for using free plug-ins?

    can someone please educate me?

    this^^^^^ Do a search on "mixing out of the box" or "mixing in the box"

    Seriously is there any difference between free plugins and paid ones?

    I would say the difference is going to be in the controls or parameters and quality. Same deal with the VST instuments.

    Slick sounding albums...

    To the OP. Recording and mixing are two differrent things. Mastering and MP3 encoding are two other different things. With exception of the MP3 encoding your not going to learn those things over night. They all contribute. Not to mention the gear. I'm not saying you need expensive gear to...

    Senn 421 II Techniques

    Sup, I've been playing around with this mic to see if I could improve on the distorted guitar. I played around with the roll off switch. Anyone use this mic for close micing guitar cabs? If so let me in on some of your mic positioning and roll off selections. Yesterday I had to...

    Is studio time worth it in my case?

    Chasing the music dream period is the biggest mistake of most people. Though some people are content being poor musicians. I played with a guy before who survived on taco bell hot sauce for a month while on tour. I probably wouldn't get a degree in music production without a solid lead into...
