upright bass is the hardest instrument to get a good recorded capture of, mostly when is plucked. low string seem to mush under 250, if the person plays one note a little too hard you get a god awfull click, high notes seem to lack sustain and drop out of a mix. best results ive gotten were by...

do you have a pair of speakers that youve used for a long time with your stereo? if so id suggest setting those up with your studio monitors and begin a/bing mixes back and forth. you use your old pair as a referance to your new ones. in time this will allow you to gain insight into how to make...

while that article is a very solid look at mixing concepts it was also written by someone who has done many many mixes and developed a sense of tones, dynamic, phase and they countless other facets of mixing a song. the best way to get good at mixing is to do it over and over, read as do it, try...

i agree that the new white stripes sounds like ass. wierd mix, out of time sections. i also dont care for the over production of the first mars volta band. good band, good songs, way over produced. vox effect changes for ever line.

try a windscreen, try a ribbon, try a dynamic, try a de esser. theres alot you can do with mic placement alone but if your recording yourself it makes it a bit more tedious to move, record, move, record, change gain, record. cools got the right idea. clean up your silence sections but if your...

id say if you had a layered cd and got a show from it, then showed up with just a guitar the booker would be pissed

yeah the record option is probably so you can dump cd to tape

either put an omin in an adjasent room record it and drop it in off center. or verb it off center be my guess.

it seems odd to me you feel that you are required to my a recording of yourself that does not hold with your aesthic in an attempt to get gigs or people to listen to your work. ive worked in live venues often and ive never heard a booker say... man id give this guy a show if only he had some...

well a pa is just a name for all the peices put together to make a live system. your mixer, amps, speakers, outboard, monitors, mics... all add up to the pa. but a powered mixer just lumps the mixer and amp together in one thing. that quote is pretty odd to me as well. i dunno why you would...

hmm id say not to stick everthing right on top of everything or dont hard pan everything. thats about the only advice i could give you without hearing the tracks. its pretty impossible for anyone to know how to pan a bunch of tracks without hearing them. there are no set guidlines for panning...

an heavy handed 1176 is one of the greatest effects ever. i want a wall of those suckers. anyone wanna fund it?

dunno why your outputs would be distorting really. i think it must be your outs busted. do all tracks sound the same? could be you playback set real hot i suppose. never had anything like that happen with my deck.

nah i dont think they really prick back up to where they were before. sometimes doing live sound if i forget to put in plugs i can a ctually feel my ears compress a sound and try and reduce the db or somthing. its an odd feeling

are you mixing via the mackie? doesnt the mackie have its own channel inserts? use the insert on the pre only if thing s are really flying around during tracking. if not id say use the channel inserts for comps on the mix. this gives you more flexibility instead of suddenly being stuck with an...

why do you need to buy one if your happy with the way things are coming out? im sure youve read what they will do to you signal. if your getting tracks that shoot all over the place dynamically then one MAY help you. why dont you borrow one from a freind or whatnot and see if it helps you at...

hmmm can u plug the cord thats working and get the other speaker to work? can u try other speakers? could be somthing screwy with outs on card? do you have to assign the outputs through some software? is everything coming out of left or is it just mono left? could be about a billion little...

it all depends on your budget and what you hope to have as an end product. if you just wanna record yourself for fun id say get some multitrack prog, a couple converter/pres, a couple nice mics and some monitors. if your coming at it from the angle of wanting to record bands, yourself and...

i use the insert across a channel alot, i use it inserted across a stereo bus alot for drums. sometimes ill pull the line out off a channel/track run that through a comp and then back on a seperate channnel as a compressed double of original.
