Ok I'm back from my research. Well, the internet version at least as I haven't been dinking around with the actual mics yet. At this point I'm leaning towards the Oktava MK012 matched pair and the AKG D12 VR mics. Oktava MK012's - They have that whole multiple capsule thing, which means that...

I agree this is bigger than a "it would be nice to record a song." issue. Go get professional help NOW!!!! You sound like a bit of a cave dweller, somewhat shy, that doesn't socialize a lot, and probably spends most of the time "thinking" your conversations with yourself. I'm kind of the...

Exactly, For me, I am a self taught drummer. I am primarily a guitarist, which lead to bass, then keys, and eventually drums. I hate clicks just like the next guy, but what I used to do at the very beginning, was program something into my keyboard, including any drum ideas (so I could learn...

The mic saga continues.... JUSTSOMEGUY: Being the Go to Guy - I have pretty much the same perspective as you on this. Being your friends "go to guy" does add some extra pressure, but it keeps me pluggin' along and moving forward and always thinking about it. They'll ask me a question, at...

Well... like anything else, go with your gut. Like a guitar or bass, new strings and a set up go a long way to making a cheaper instrument sound pretty good. Drums are the same way. You can get a lower end kit, but with a set of new heads (less than $100) and proper tuning, they can sound...

Here's something I heard along the way, and unfortunately I can't remember who said it. "If you can hear the click, you're probably not playing in time." - kinda makes sense when you think about it.

Thanks for responding. Don't feel bad, you didn't miss anything. I didn't really ask any questions although there are always a few bouncing around in my head. Recently, I've been doing a lot of reasearch, part of which includes attending Guitar Center's free recording classes on ProTools and...

I heard a theory about this that I tend to agree with. "Ya gotta write 20 songs before you find a good one." It's that law of averages thing. If I take out my digital camera and just start snapping pictures, eventually there will be a good one in there. For those of you in the Marines...

Hello everyone! I've been a musician for almost 30 years now (damn I'm getting old) and play guitar, bass, keys, and drums (sort of). In any case, I am finally getting off my lazy butt and building my home studio. So the goodies list: 2011 iMac running ProTools 8 (I did purchase the PT10...

If what you have is working, then don't worry about the latest and greatest. I have a similar set up (2009 Mac + PT8) and I purchased the upgrade to PT10 the other day. Now I just have to sit down with it this weekend and get it loaded. In short the only reason I went with the PT10 upgrade...

If you already have GarageBand, I'd just go with that until you find somethign you like better. Over the years I've had a lot of people ask "What's the best?" and my usual answer is "None of them." If one brand of digital audio workstation (DAW) was truly the best, we wouldn't have the...

I'd have to agree. Over the years I've had a lot of people ask "What's the best?" and my usual answer is "None of them." If one brand of digital audio workstation (DAW) was truly the best, we wouldn't have the number of choices we have today because everybody would be using "The Best" one...
