I'm looking into getting a compressor, but I can't deside wheather to go APEX or behringer or ART, I know you guy's don't have the Highest Respect for cheep Items, but I would like to hear your opinions on it (or if you know any other brands that sell compressors for under $200 CAN. that would...
sweet, yeah, I've got the point... Where can you buy roosters?
is there any cheep methold using house products (mostly) that you can build a decent bass trap, or sound insoltion "hanging wall"?
yeah, something like that. but it's good practice though for when I do get expensive stuff. (most of the stuff I have right now is from e-bay, or home-made)
oh, you mean like mics and such, that converts ither air to electrons and in your pc from analog to digital, ect. ok, thanks.
I like the mix, the only thing is that I would pull up the instroments or pull back the drums at the beginning. and any other time the singer is not singing.
I just use a DI box (DB-01) and feed the 1/4" jack to the Ibanez bass amp (which also has a DI output, but has never really worked properly for me) and the xlr goes to the mixer/pc
I've got a decent pair of monitors (ysm2p's) and I'm planning to build my own rack.
and why are so many people basicly telling me to keep with the plugins, while so many studio's use outboard equipment. I'm not saying that thier suggestion is not valid, It's just. whats the reason people get them?
mentalattica, I'm using cubase- and goldwave (prmaraly) and whatever pugins I can download. i don't need to render to hear the effect, but i do need to render before i can hear the affected track in with the rest of the mix (especially when using goldwave)
and I hear alot of people taking about...

yeah, I see your points, I indeed do need more skill with mixing. the reason I wan't thease things are:
headphone mixer: for when recording in seperate rooms, or if i don't wan't the amp on while playing drums...
ok, what (in your opinion) is the most important (in order)
EQ
Compressor/limiter
headphone mixer
anything else
currently i have nothing in my rack (I don't even have a rack :) )
I am currently just relying on plugins. but I much rather have external equipment.
Thanks for the very detailed discription. I knew about the diffrent wavelenghts thats why I wah planning to make it 4" tich (not even close to all the bass freqencies, but I hoped that it would do something)
but I did not know about the resistance absorbers, Thanks for explaining that too me I...
HOLY CRUD! only a HS band... thats it, your now my nemisis. I must become the best of my age groop MUHAHAHA!!!
ok, seriusly though, thats amazing. once I get my mixer fixed I'll record my band.
though i doupt it will sound as good as this.
amazing job!
next tyme do a copy there way, and do another copy your way. and tell them to let their freeky little friends have a listen, maby that'll knock some sense into them. :)
I like the sound you've squeezed out. were the vocal fx on while you were playing?
your a big guy, but it looks like your trying to hide within yourself making your stage presance seam guite small. (especially in the beginning, it gets better later on though)
but yeah, I hope you didn't edit...
is there a bass guitar? it seams to be missing some middle meat.
NVM, I hear the bass, but it seams verry high up. maby fatten up the low end a bit
and is that a crash? it dosn't seem quite right to me, It gives me a mental image of some one trying to rock along with a tryangle.
hope this helps
yeah, I was thinking about the fire thing. but it's only for temparary usage.
plus there's absolutly no heat source around. infact I'd be more worried about it getting wet... but thanks for the concern.
and giraffe thanks for the reply. but I rather not assume, just becouse no one uses it that...
is it possible to get that thick packaging cardboard stuff. layer it so it's about 4" thick and use that as a bass trap? and/or could you use it for sound proofing?
edit: and use that cheep bed foam on top to prevent as many reflections
