I would get a headphone splitter amp (Behringer makes a good one for like $20) and a bunch of iPod earbuds with 3.5mm to 1/4" TRS adapters. that way it wouldn't sound super weird talking to one another and you'd still be able to use the Yeti. That's honestly your best bet. That box you're...

Sounded good but I think more variety in the melody would be nice--like what you did around 2:00 mark...that kind of thing. Otherwise it was cool. It definitely sounds original, but maybe stretch up to some higher notes every now and then too just to give it more flavor. The first half kind...

well better get some Avantone mics too because no mic collection is complete without a red mic. And Avantone makes the sexiest red mics. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Haha yeah I had a class in college that was like 75% sight singing....lol nothing like those first couple of weeks. :facepalm:

I can pretty easily read music for non-guitar instruments. I could probably do it with guitar, but I've never really tried thanks to tabs. With theory I'm very sound now, although I definitely struggled at the beginning. Luckily when I started I was able to jam with some experienced players...

Cool! You should post the recordings in this thread!

lol no I was wondering if MJB got the CAD mics or not!

I think it's way easier to write darker songs. At the very least, the song has to have a little "angst" to it. Like even in the lyrics to "Walking on Sunshine" she's singing about how her baby isn't around a whole lot. I think any "happy" song has to have at least a little contrast in it with...

So did you get them??

Yeah you slipped off beat for a while once you hit "I'm superhuman" but kudos to the wordplay. That stuff isn't easy.

I think the Karma K-micro mics are called Silver Bullets, if that's the one he's talking about. I've heard pretty good things about them and they're super cheap.

I had those for 4 years as part of a drum kit set CAD makes and just recently sold them. For live events they make nice drum OHs, but on acoustic they aren't great. Not very terrible either. :D But honestly if you don't have any SDCs you could give them a shot. It wouldn't be the end of the...

^^^this if your local battery store is anything like mine, you should be able to get a pretty sweet battery. When mine went bad on my HP laptop a few years back, I was able to get a battery that lasted twice as long as my old one did in its prime.

Hmmm interesting pop filter. I've never seen a non-circular one before.

See now do you want to end like this poor fellow below? :D Henry check into rehab :thumbs up:

A complete mic collection isn't defined by how many you have, but by what you are able to do with the ones you do have.

It's pretty true. Honestly the thing that will help you the most is just repetition and consistency. The big names that go into studios and lay a killer take on their first try can only do that because they've spent so much time doing it before!

It's a few different things, not all of which are positive I guess. Sometimes I'm like "Well not many people are gonna hear this one anyways" and that relaxes me lol. Other times it's just me having a bad day and de-stressing by doing some takes. But usually the best thing for me is just...

Yeah same here. I think somewhere in the back of my mind I put pressure on myself like "Ok self it's time to nail this take" and then I fail miserably :D Too much pressure lol. I record my best takes when I'm not worried about it too much.

I second the avantone recommendation! They are a vastly underrated brand.
