It may have something to do with the simplicity or "sillyness" of the lyrics. People could sing along with it. Audience participation. This song came out long before I was born but it would have worked in a party/dance atmosphere, too. We Will Rock You by Queen was a similar thing where people...

The song is great and I like the mixing, too. Sounds very natural to me. I can't comment on the mixing professionally though as I'm just starting out with it. I definitely liked the subtle vocals' fade in effect. Sounds like the reverse setting on the old 9.5" Akai hall/reverb unit I had "back...

Hey! Thanks for all the feedback. I didn't expect to get such a positive feedback, thank you very much! So I did another mix where I tried to address the things mentioned and some other things I noticed myself, too. I agree, the track sounded too compressed. At first I didn't get it because I...

Hey, this is a tune I did with my band back in 2005/6 when it still existed. We broke up a few months after that track. I didn't have any clue about recording back then, so the tracking is what it is. We used cheapo t.bone mics (LDC for vocals, some cheap t.bone mic set for drums, 2 t.bone SDCs...

John, first of all thank you for all your suggestions. Right now I am not in a hurry so I don't need to rush things. There's no need to apologize for not stopping by earlier anyway albeit I am always glad when you do :D So I'll go with a laminate floor and maybe a thick rug at the mix...

Are you going to record at 96kHz? If you want to go up to 96kHz the presonus wouldn't work anyway since it supports only 16 channels at 96kHz. I don't know how much one firewire bus can take but I suppose 16 channels at 96kHz is pretty much it. You'd need a second bus, if you want to do 32...

Funny coincidence: I have a "large ceiling beam" in the other room which I want to use for tracking (the room, not the beam). Do you consider treating the beam? What do the experts say? Cheers Tim

Hey FM, I'm trying to achieve something similar in my basement studio thread but with complete sidewalls and a front with monitor soffits and I have followed your previous thread because of the valuable contributions by John, Ethan et al. I saw from your diagram that you have a door in the rear...

Hehe... Well, I'll be trying to sneak a deck in from time to time... :) Cheers Tim

Now, that wouldn't make any sense in a forum because other people wouldn't be able to benefit from your answered question then. There may be others who need to know how to set up a pop filter and hopefully use the search function ;) Cheers Tim

My bass amp had a switch for that on it's back... :laughings:

Why is it that the tape machines are in focus and the stand isn't? :D You know, it's too obvious. You mustn't focus on the tape machine, you need to focus on the stand so noone will accuse you of showing off the decks. Do it like this ;) Cheers :drunk: Tim At least you didn't fire them...

Anyone ever use a jackhammer for click? Check out "Steamrock Fever" by Scorpions (Taken By Force, 1977) ;) Kicks butt :D :drunk: Tim

In my opinion sometimes less is more so I'd stick with your laptop for a while. You saved a lot of money now by not having to buy expensive software or an amp and I would explore the limitations of your setup again with all the new information you have now before I'd buy new gear. Maybe you want...

Cool, I had fun doing them :drunk:

I can definitely relate to that. Just add that to your evaluation matrix ;)

Ok, add Overloud TH1 to your amp sim test. I haven't used it but I'll test it the next time I'm going virtual. You can demo it for 14 days.

Oh, and don't use the "emulated line out" from your marshall amp for going into amp simulation software. The line out already adds speaker simulation and of course has the marshall sound. It may be good on its own, I don't know but it's useless for amp simulation software. You'd essentially do...

You use it via a high impedance input (preamp/DI -> interface -> computer) also known as Hi-Z input. Since the software simulates amp and cabinet you don't want to have a real amp/cabinet/mic combination in front of it. Basically you plug your guitar into your interface or your DI box and then...

I have tried Acme Bar Gig and I didn't like it that much but I suppose you could get usable tones out of it. It just depends on the use case. Be sure to check out www.softube.se, too as WavePro suggested (Vintage Amp Room and Metal Amp Room). I've been to their site und it "looks" promising. Of...
