If it does collapse, make sure you have a camcorder handy. You could get back some lost money selling the video to those comedy home video shows.

I'm really struggling to find this stuff for under £100 (approx $180). Surely there must be somewhere selling small amounts for cheap. Anyone here in the UK managed to find any?

I was going to say the same thing. There are levels to this game and I know I'm near the bottom. Right now I'm personally happy with the cheaper end of the market. Mainly because I'm poor but partly because I am getting the results I want and can only hear a small difference. I'm sure one day...

*::I LIKE IT::* Actually, it's a little annoying isn't it?

Bruce, do you mean put the overheads on the audience side of the kit or do you mean that you point in and at the drums?

I can find rockwool pots for growing weed and I can find suppliers that will sell me a truckload of slabs, but nobody is willing to sell just four or five slabs to me. Well, there are the people who upholster the stuff and sell it as specialist acoustic treatment but I'm not giving those guys my...

Nope, no idea what you guys are on about. Is it something to do with sport?

Yeah, that's what I was kind of thinking. I get that mush at the lower registers and just kind of hope for the best. I think I will have to get some monitors and keep trying to find some cheap rockwool here in the UK (which is a nightmare by the way).

Hmm vocal enhancer eh? I'll check some out. They were various drumkits of various quality. It's me playing on the "indie" one and I got that kit for £50 and the snare for £80. The mics are AKG d12 on the kick, SM57 on the snare, two really cheap kareoke type mics on the toms, a cheap and...

It really impresses me when people make stuff like that. If I made it it would be 80% gaffa tape, 10% chewing gum and 10% solder.

Anyone else got any ideas where I might be going wrong?

The rock band was a toughie. They just got signed and the singer sacked half of the band. He came round after I mixed it and said "No! Too much guitar! Turn the damn vocals up!" I think I agree aboout compressing too much. I seem to struggle to get everything to fit in it's place and...

I uploaded a few dance tunes to a publisher (www.raw42.com). They knew I was a multi-instrumentalist so they asked me to write a Radiohead soundalike for a brief they got from a film company so i did and the film company liked it and it was used in the film. Same with the Barclaycard advert...

Good riddance! He probably doesn't like the same music as you and probably doesn't like the same kind of guitar style as you. He might be a nice bloke but if he doesn't see things the same way as you it will never work. I've been in a band for ages with a guitarist that likes metal. We spent...

I didn't read all of Harvey's post. Oops. Do you have your mic near your computer monitor or have the mic lead near anything electrical?

This may be a stupid question but does your four track have phantom power?

Those RN1Xs are pretty shit hot for drum'n'bass. I used to be in a live d'n'b band playing live drums along to one of those things. We supported Roni Size and Goldie among others. They are definately a step towards a professional sound. The MC 303 has it's place though. I reckon that it's a...

Since I'm charging my mates' bands to record (not much but they are still parting with money) I need to be doing the best job I possibly can. I would therefore appreciate your honest opinion of these mixes. Are they too compressed, too dry, too effected, drums too quiet/loud etc? Here are...

I like your independently mobile, self-cleaning diffuser unit. I've got three of those myself. They are very useful for warming up mixing desks and computer keyboards.
