Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if mine has dbx built in, probably not. Would I need a mastering recorder?...I'd probably be better off just getting a new model on ebay with dbx built in. Did you get yours on ebay too? Yeah, for some reason I thought that it was an unspoken rule to tweak the...

Thanks for the info. I've been looking to use my Tascam Mini-Studio Porta02, as it's collecting dust at the moment. What model of dolby module did you use? Do you have to spend a lot to get a decent one? Cool, I have an Alesis Micron too. The only problem is that I get lazy and try to use the...

Cool song. It really reminds me of Grandaddy, especially the mix of acoustic guitar with synth. I think you'd like Chad VanGaalen, if you haven't heard of him already. He does a lot of sci-fi stuff too. I'm listening on computer speakers, and I agree, it sounds really nice for a four-track...

do I need to get a separate phantom power box if I want to use my tascam porta02 with a condenser mic? just plug it into the mic input, then plug the mic into the box?

Okay, thanks. Yeah, I'd say the piano's just average. It's a 20 year old Yamaha. Would it help the sound if I made it so that the piano isn't parallel with any walls. I'm not sure if my room classifies as a good sounding room. It's around 9 x 13 x 13 and rectangle, with a 6x4 rug in the...

I'm looking for a low budget solution to mic a Yamaha upright piano. I already have one SM57 and one AT4047....Could I somehow lift the lid, mic the inside with the dynamic, then mic behind the lower back of the piano with the AT4047? If I get two matched pair Naiants, I'd probably use ORTF...

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I have a bad habit of rushing things. I end up with a lot of unfinished songs since I'm always trying to write a song even better than the last instead of getting the previous song to sound the way I think it should. I'm probably going to get rid of the flanger...

http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6426380 I did not approach this song the right way. I didn't record the drum part until after I'd recorded the guitar part. Then I recorded the cello. To make things even harder to edit later, I didn't use a click track when I recorded the guitar. I used an...

http://media.putfile.com/Radiohead-House-of-Cards-Cover I'm not sure if replacing the guitar with piano and my rendition of the drums worked that well. It feels bogged down in tempo to me near the beginning. Also, I don't think my voice was warmed up at the beginning. It's a bit out of tune in...

Thanks! I'm using an AT4047, a Firebox, and I think I aimed the mic at the neck, not too sure though. It seems that no matter where I place the mic, I can get a pretty clear cello sound, not so with guitar. Probably because my cello's $3000, when my guitar's $300, and I've been playing cello...

http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6427286 ---------------------------- I'm going to re-record the guitar part, tried to come up with something in one take. Also, I'm not sure how to EQ the cello when it's in the same range as my voice. Is it generally better to do subtractive on the...

My problem with it currently is getting the vocals right (I could be louder one place especially) and give the drums more kick and presence, which I can't figure out at the moment, which I would probably have an idea of doing if I knew how to EQ each drum separately. I'm using the Compressor...

Thanks. So I'm guessing free piano VSTs aren't worth researching? I think I'll just attempt recording my piano and see what happens, or save up for a digital piano.

It's an upright, which makes it tougher than miking a grand? Should I angle the piano so it's not parallel with a wall? The room's about 9x15x12. All sides are parallel. The doorway is really wide and opens into a foyer with a high ceiling ~20 ft. I'm considering using a softsynth instead so I...

I'm looking for a decent piano VST. I don't have the right room to record my piano, plus it's an upright, which makes getting a decent sound out of it tougher....I'm not sure if it's worth the tradeoff though...not that great acoustics for piano or a softsynth that sounds fake?

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I'm really technologically maladroit, so please be patient with me. I just got my Micron today used from ebay without the instruction manual. I try plugging an instrument cable from the headphone jack of my micron to line 3 in of my firebox, then trying...

Is it possible to take a multi layer program with 6 layers,each layer on a different midi channel,(I can set the program up on my XV3080)..Then assign a different midi channel to the first 6 sliders,that way I can have a piano patch if I need it on one,then have a guitar patch ready if i need it...

I'm wondering if I can create drum tracks using the Micron? Or if getting a drum machine would be a good idea?
