I am using an Audio Technica AT3030 plugged directly into the Digidesign 002 Console. I'm working on a custom built desktop with no built-in mic capabilities. No idea what the issue is?

Hey all, I am trying to eliminate or at least quiet what I believe to be some serious signal interruption I'm getting when recording in Pro Tools. When I load the program up with headphones on it goes from silence to a light hum once Pro Tools is loaded. That I can tolerate, but when enabling...

I have just a verse for a song here, and rap vocals give me the hardest time... Im finding many problems with the mix, and I also find the overall sound to sound far from bright and very muddy... not sure why it sounds like this after I bounce it from Pro Tools... listen to it and let me know...

Good info. Any idea what I could do to help the low end situation? Would taking some or al of the blankets down help the situation?

Its not "properly" treated for mixing. Some blankets placed up on the walls of an approx. 10x8 room. I use the SE Reflexion Filter for recording also. Regardless I always get a very muffled recording. I hear a lot of people say they barely touch eq, which is mind boggling to me. I watched an...

The problem lies in the mix. Or better yet, maybe a lot of it lies in me. I'm an extreme perfectionist, and this has prevented me from releasing music for about 3 years. I have been recording and engineering for some years now, not as consistently (not daily) as I'd like, but long enough to have...

Okay then, lets expand the horizons. Who would you recommend in the online world with great mastering experience on both Rock and Rap music?

EXACTLY! This is my I keep banging my head against the wall! The output for master and export are both "Analog 1-2" stereo. Lets say for example I use up a lot of tracks and want to condense my hook into one WAV or AIFF file by bouncing the combined layers together as a stereo WAV and bring it...

Anyone from Ontario have any good recommendations? Looking into Lacquer Channel right now, anybody have any experience with them there?

Oh forgot to add, I bounce as a WAV, stereo-interleaved

I'm pretty sure something is going on with my setup recently. The exporting just isn't providing the same full and quality sound it once did. I'll create a nice wide stereo filling track (I use an analyzer just to make sure its nice and full), yet when I bounce it, it plays very dull and flat on...

How do u like the Sputnik? Whats ur verdict on it? I know its the pattern, sorry, I should have worded it better. I meant "I'd like it to be a cardioid microphone, and I'd also prefer it not to be a tube mic"

Precisely. I do all the instrument recording out of another studio, or session players will drop me work they did at other locations. This is strictly a vocal mic.

Hey, I wrote a thread regarding this topic previously, but I focused primarily on the AT4033. For those that didn't read it or don't remember, I have an AT4033 I've had for about 9 years now and I'm getting the feeling the diaphragm is gunked right up. I can't find any technicians in Southern...

Genius! I have a feeling this is gonna make things a hell of a lot easier for me. I owe ya one!

Ohhhh so what you're sayin is that instead of sending it thru a SEND, simply switch the tracks output to the BUS rather than straight out "Analog 1" etc? Why in the world wouldn't I have thought to do that when I'm playing around? I feel like I lost my keys and the whole time they were in my...

This may sound ridiculous as it did to an old friend (who I no longer speak with or I'd probably ask him) but I have a quick question. I can be quite stubborn and up until now I've been doing the most CPU demanding style of mixing ever... I utilize inserts to a fault. I am decent at my EQing...

Any opinions on the AKG C214???

So you guys helped me come to the conclusion that my mic is probably done fore, without a cleaning that is... which I'm having trouble finding after contacting the locals stores. Fact is, I can't take a very long hiatus from recording, and Im sure the "what mic should I get" question pops up...

Peeeeerfect! Thanks alot! Exactly what I needed to know. Was even contemplating purchasing the same mic new. Im guessing its much cheaper to get it cleaned... now the question is, does anyone know of anybody able to do this in Ontario Canada? Preferably Southwestern Ontario? We've got Long and...
