Thats what I was thinking. Maybe I'll also try the KSM141 overheads in my drum room.

Anyone have any experience recording a violin? Any suggestions?

Describe the noise. Or better yet, can you post up a sample of it?

What country are you in? Is the issue 60hz hum (ground loop) or?

I totally dig the tunes man! I get a sense that the guitars and pretty much everything seems really distant on the first track. Pie sounds better, but then there the drums don't seem to be up front. I'm not exactly sure what it is you are going for here, so I guess I can't give more than my...

I missed the attaching part. You can also use thin brad nails or long thumb tacks if you don't want to mess up the walls. It's kinda janky tho... I'm not sure how packro was thinking of using the 'command strips' but that seems an option as well.

They will tame high frequency reflections to a degree. And maybe they look cool. Place them at first reflection points from what you are trying to tame. Meaning, from the point you are sitting, think how a mirror would give your reflection back or bounce off of other walls. Same with areas you...

I am not sure how using a spectrum analyzer would help a mix. It's one thing to visually see a problem area, but in a full mix there can build up of certain frequencies from multiple instruments that can do things like cause muddiness and lack of clarity. That is not something that a spectrum...

I like it! Are you looking for mix thoughts or just song opinions?

All good. No bitching here. Just giving my experience.

Not disagreeing with you in any way man. Just not a rabbit hole or waste of time to invest in treatment especially in a small space. Hense why I suggested the room mode calculator so that the op can know what he is facing. We are all stricing for the best results, just in different ways...

Um, the room also affects what a mic hears. It's not a rabbit hole. It is something that affects everything. It isn't just some bullshit thrown out there by idiots that recommend others follow... Anyway, yeah, good headphones are good to have also. ?

There is much to do with the room you are in as well. $2000 studio monitors may not be the best decision if the space isn't helping you. Let me try to place this in perspective here: I have been mixing in shitty rooms for decades. It is possible that I can pull shit out of my ass because of...

Yeah, but you likely need more than two tracks for drums. Tascam US 2000 is $200 used on Ebay. The 16x08 is $350. 10 useable preamps and 16 inputs for that price seems to make sense - well until it isn't enough. Maybe I am misunderstanding spantini's needs? A unit like that above, also allows...

It's like the best oxymoron ever asked in a recording forum! I must say, that without recording something via something that sounds like that, would involve manipulation. I am intrigued tho as to what you figure out. 8-)

We all gotta start somewhere right? I have been out of the market for interface shopping for years, so not sure I can give a great suggestion. I had great time with the Tascam 1641 and 1800. The newer 18x08 is basically similar I hear. I have no recent use of them so I am not a good source...

Agreed. Drums can be weird as sometimes they seem to just jump out for no apparent reason. Not even sure if it is a digital glitch in the matrix... LOL Many times I will either tame the offensive one, or even just copy/paste an earlier hit to resolve it. To answer the OP's question directly, my...

Possibly if you use a MAC. Not with a PC.

Nice! I spent a bunch of years with the 1800 and the 1641 predecessor. I was surprised it didn't work. Great to hear you got it figured! Cheers from here! :drunk:

It's still squashed to my ears man. Everyone has different opinions, but there is still way too much compression on the drums IMO. Take it all back, and then add it.
