    Just recorded a bad band...I need tips on how to mix them

    Try and figure out what they are trying to do, and go with that. Ride the fader or compress the drums with the whole mix up untill they at least sort of sound right. Keep the shit tone on the guitar. If it's too harsh when he's playing by himself, a little reverb might smooth things out...

    clicky bass

    Clip your nails. If they hang over your finger tips even a little bit, things can still get clicky. If that doesn't work, it's probably the strings hitting the frets. Try plucking more vertically, if that makes sense. Also, make sure your fretting hand isn't banging the strings down too hard...

    Switching from Guitar to Bass?

    Hey, this isn't a plunge, it's a promotion:). The scratching sound is probably coming from holding the pick at a slight angle. Try striking a little harder and more square to the string. I hardly ever use a pick, so I can't really help you anymore than that. You'll definitely need more force...

    Exporting Audio

    I don't know why that would be louder just because of an export unless Cubase is normalizing the audio. If you reimport the exported track back into Cubase is it louder there too? Is there a problem just turning down the faders in Audition?

    Best guitar with a Marshall

    I've heard a Warlock through a JCM2000 TSL. It's the only combo I've heard where Master of Puppets sound right with just one guitar player. I don't remember the model of the guitar though, just that it was a warlock. A strat fitted with seymour duncan humbuckers sounds really good too...

    Where is your studio located?

    Hey--- Who put their studio in their bathroom?:) I always sing better in the shower so that may not be a bad idea after all:D.

    What's your live setup?

    Fender 60's reissure and a Radial ProDI. Sometimes I'll bring my practice cab for a monitor.

    If the band plays well live, why not record the band live?

    what key would this be?

    I'd think of it as being in Am with accidentals on the E major chord. But that might just be me. Notes of Am = A, E, C Notes of G = G, B, D Notes of F = F, A, C Notes of E = E, B, G# The scale you'd be playing on for the most part would be A, B, C, D, E, F, G, G#, I'd say the key is Am.

    Help me choosing a mixer

    Oh and if you're only going with one mic, I'd get a dedicated preamp and maybe a DI for the Line6. The DI may not be nessicary though. If you're recording through your sound card, monitor through that.

    Help me choosing a mixer

    Not through a Behringer. It's the preamp on the mixers that will make your guitar sound better. I'd go with a Yamaha GS over the beheringer. Still not the best mixer in the world though.

    Trouble finding guitarists

    I don't care if you're Metallica, I wouldn't play prewritten bass parts note for note, at least not for every song. I usually add my own flaver even for covers. My advice is to lighten up about it. If they're hired guns for a solo project or something, then that's different. But, for a band...

    My Band Sucks !

    If it isn't fun your missing the point. But, let me tell ya... About a two years ago I picked up my bass for the first time in six or seven years. Point blank, I sucked. But I decided to join a band anyway. A little over a year ago I answered an ad in a local music shop and hooked up with...

    who smokes *stuff* while mixing?

    90/10 90% of what you come up with baked is crap, but the other 10% is GOLD. Simple tasks are more complicated and complicated tasks are more simple. I haven't smoked for a couple of years, but that's what little I can remember:). Oh, and different details jump out at you while your "mind is...

    which wire is which

    Wiring Diagram for the SM7 is on page 2. This is a manual for replacing the cartridge. I've never done this and I don't know the SM7, but this is what I would look at. The best thing to do though, is have a pro do the rewiring.

    Most underrated bassists?

    All I have to say is... Thank You!!!! I'll second McCartny. He is mostly known as a secondary singer for the Beatles. It's rare that I see him on lists of the greats. Though, I don't normally look at those lists, so what do I know :D. As far as most underrated how about Eric Wilson from...

    Bassists I need some help

    I just use Fender strings on my 60's reissue. I don't know all the specifics on them, but they last for 3-5 months at three practices and a show a week. At least they did a while back. I've actually last changed them back last September and they're just recently going dead. What kind of bass...
