    Help - Rode NT1a vibration problem

    It could be your monitoring rather than your recording. I have some headphones that get peaky at particular frequencies and distort like crazy while others have no problem at all with the same source. If you get the problem with multiple monitoring tools, I'd suggest starting with some mild...

    Recording Drums with just 2 Mics

    I'd try the F15 overhead, maybe two stick lengths up from the snare head. Move it around on that plane until you get a nice balance with the toms and not too much hi-hat. Then I'd put the V67G out in front of the kick. Normally I'd rather see a dynamic here because they are a little more...

    Need Advice on Recording Jazz Drums

    Sounds like you have a nice room. I'd start with the Fatheads in a Blumlein configuration, placed in just the right spot in the room. Alternatively, I'd use the NT-5s in ORTF. If you don't know these configurations, a quick Google will light the way. RecordingMaster's Glyn Johns suggestion...

    two different LDC or two matched SDC mics for classic guitar.. opinions?

    Combining different mics is not necessarily a bad choice. Almost all mics have "color" - or some character - that they give to the things they record. This can be good or bad depending on what the artist wants and whether or not the color of the mic works with the timbre of the instrument or...

    micing the drums with 4 mics

    You don't lose anything by waiting to buy mics except for the time you'd spend experimenting with what you have. On top of that, the time you would spend will only make you better at micing and recording. If I had your mics and a $150 budget, I'd use the condenser as an overhead hanging over...

    Napalm Beach - Greg's summertime fun in the dead of winter

    That's not a tambourine, that's a rusty barrel full of hypodermic needles! Love, Gerg

    Napalm Beach - Greg's summertime fun in the dead of winter

    This is fantastic! I like the bass tone, though my recent posts indicate that I'm more flexible than most. If there's anything shaky (and there isn't to me), I like it the way it is. What do you want, over-processed pop?!

    Tetris / Surf

    I keep getting super sub lows showing up in the bar visualizations if I'm just playing the file in Windows Media Player, but they don't show up as much in the DAW. Both channels of bass are going through a HPF - the dirty at something like 240 Hz and the clean at like 80 Hz. Drums are sampled...

    Thanks! I double tracked the bass this time. It's half clean and half Muffed. Thanks for your input!

    Tetris / Surf

    Thanks for the input. The bass is running through a Big Muff, so that would explain the "mushy". Guitar chain is a Squier J. Mascis Jazzmaster through a Boss FRV-1 reverb pedal and then a Vox Pathfinder 15R. It's about the least expensive combination of parts one might expect. I thought it...

    Recording Drums: 4 Channels and 6 Mics. How Would You Handle It?

    Don't put them near the cymbal edges, though! As the cymbals rock you'll get weird phasey or swishy sounds.

    Strat trem question

    If you are just bending down with the bar and the strings stay a little flat because of binding at the nut, give a slight tug to the bar after you come back up. Mute your playing as necessary, but this can be a very quick way to deal with binding at the nut on the fly. Geez, awkward phrase...

    Recording Drums: 4 Channels and 6 Mics. How Would You Handle It?

    Is it rock? Three mics (2 OHs and a Kick mic or OH, snare, kick) or even two mics (OH, Kick) will open up other channels.

    How Low can you go??????

    Tone is important regardless of volume. As long as you aren't overloading anything, you're not adding any issues except possibly noise (noise floor and all). People crank amps for tone, not volume, when recording. Think about recording a classical guitar. There is a lot of dynamic content...

    How to record a real one man band?

    What about a near coincident pair from a distance, like the middle of the audience? He sounds pretty well mixed/balanced all by himself.

    Updates at Bargain Basement Recording of Duluth

    Not trying to be a turd - it looks great! - but you should try to get those nearfield monitors down closer to ear level. Loving the space and the vaulted ceiling!

    How Modern Recordings Are Made

    Yeah, that was the episode where Bart was in a boy band that turned out to be shilling for the Navy. The guy had one of those big levers on his mixing board like you see in stereotypical cockpits or in Star Wars when they fire the Death Star lazer. The board was labeled in big red letters...
