Just the factors that make a good song. I think simplicity is important. I support the idea of prog rock in theory, moving beyond the simple "rock-by the numbers" structure of a rock-pop song. But the majority of all the prog rock things I've checked out are terrible and not fun to listen to...

Awesome, thank you guys. This has been an informative thread and I'm glad I signed up at this board. I have ordered the MK-219 based on the recommendation and the sound samples I've heard, which I really liked. I ordered it from a company which does a quality inspection of the item before they...

I was just watching a video on youtube about this technique of putting 2 microphones right next to each other, rather than just using one, to get a larger double tracked sound. I think I read that the Doors did this as well for their vocal, and Aerosmith as well. I am wondering if any of you...

I wasn't expecting it at all, until I started doing it. I found that when I recorded a musician with a professional level of musicianship, even with low quality stuff which is what I'm starting out with. After doing some research I believe that I can create recordings that are ALMOST as good as...

I think one of the worst things any one can do is try to copy the sound of another singer, for obvious reasons. With that said the singers I like the most are almost all British. Steve Marriott, early Rod Stewart, ROBERT PLANT Jim Morrison, David Bowie, David Coverdale, Frankie Miller. I'll...

Well, this is an interesting argument, and I don't think your friend phrased it in the best way. The way I would say it is that I know it is possible to extend range at least for me because I have been training as an opera singer for about 7 years now, and I have greatly extended my range. At...

Yeah, it can be tough. Check out the lyrics to the Led Zeppelin version of Babe I'm gonna leave you from their first album. He only says like 3-4 things the whole song but he keeps repeating himself, and it sounds great! never gets boring at all, and that's also because there is an amazing...

I find the lyrics the hardest part so I come up with them first. I'll spend some time just writing poetry, and some random stream of consciousness stuff. When I finally write some good lyrics, I put it into verse and chorus form. Once this happens, I just sit with a guitar, and the melody and...

Hmmm, recording acoustic guitar can be difficult. I would suggest keep playing with settings maybe? Not sure what the issue could be.

I can vouch for Nady scm 900. I've been using it on its own to record grand piano and I've been able to get some very nice sounding and usable tracks. Nothing award winning, but good enough for a demo.

Cool, thanks for the tip. Right now I'm really leaning toward the 319. I was just on the Oktavamods website, and I listened to the sample of the modded 319 next to a U47, this has got me seriously excited!

Hello, I have finally narrowed my choice of microphone to these 2 and I was hoping someone might be able to give some advice on which would be the better choice. Mainly I'm going to be using it to record opera singing. I have been trained to sing with no amplification, and therefore for the...
