Thank you for your comments Ciro! First off, agreed... Rio most definitely doesn't have the best beaches in Brasil. Just happens to be where the song was written. I agree that it's a touch too loud as well. Went a little haywire with the limiter :-) ... As far as the percussion goes, we...

Pretty please? :)

Hi folks, Our band, "The Daily Afflictions" recently wrote and recorded a tune inspired by our singers late night rondevouz on a trip to Rio in Brazil. It's a bit out there; and a mad story, but we hope you like the tune. The song is called "Beaches of Brasil", and is available for a listen...

Thank you for the listen. Really appreciate it. We have another song up, which for whatever reason people seem to really like, called "Beaches of Brasil" (guess it's less weird sounding...). It's a pretty simple tune arrangement wise (2 acoustic guitars, vocals, and drums), but feedback would...

That's a very pretty song, has a very strong coldplay vibe too it. The only issues I hear is that there's a lot of room noise, and the acoustic guitars on the quiet parts sound somewhat treble-y. There's one part 2/3rds of the way through where everyone stops playing, and you can hear a lot of...

Heya, The 50% sounds really good on the drum/bass tune. It seems to have a Perfect Circle or Massive Attack (one of my favorites) type vibe too it. It would be nice to see it when it's finished off. The Under the Sun song is beautiful! Very nice vocal harmonies. The only thing that sounds...

Heya, My band and I just finished a two week long recording+mixing marathon (10 songs!? I do NOT recommend doing this!!!!), and would like to get some feedback from the fine folks in this forum. We will gladly seek you out and do the same. Specifically, it would be great if we could get...

So the general consensus seems to be the only effective way to have a patchbay between mics and different Pres would be via an XLR patchbay, especially with phantom power? The reason why I want to have an "intermediate" place to switch connections, is b/c all my pres are in a rack connected to...

Hi, It seems that I've acquired enough gear over the last 2 years for my home studio, that my cabling is turning into an all-out 'cacoon' behind my daw... I've read up about patchbays and such, but due to my ignorance seem to be missing some piece of information. What I want to be able to do...

Hey, Really well done. I immediately thought of the doors as well. Not just the musical style, but the vocals also. Well done. -blind_sublime www.sonicbids.com/thedailyafflictions

I use it only for vocals, but it has to be Rode K2 for me. Of course, depends on the vocalists, but for midrangey male voices, I haven't found anything I've liked more, period.

Right on! Whatever sounds best to you, with the voices you'll be recording is definitely the way to go. No need for blind loyalties to brands or perceptions. Good luck w/ the AKG!

Just wanted to chime in here and have another user vouch for the K2. It is simply the best Rode I've tried (Have an NT1-A and NT2-A, can't speak for anything else) for vox. I agree w/ the forumites who's said airy highs, smooth mids, and great (not exagerated) low ends. But it's the midrange...

Greetings Homerecorders, A bit of a repost here. I'm a new recording enthusiast, looking for some help/feedback on my bands mixes. It's one of those mysteries of life you see! Gettin' people to listen to ya for the first time! I'll try my damnest to listen to your stuff if ya listen to...

Hey buddy, Finally got a chance to listen to your tunes, and I am impressed. Very unique approach to melody and songwriting. I heard a lot of different influencies. I liked the wide stero seperation in "To My Wife", and the acoustic guitars in the end were very well done. Great job. Also...

more eq stuff I think it really depends on the tune. It's kindof standard for rock music to create a bit of seperation between instruments. I'm certainly not experienced enough to say "it should always be like this or that". What I do know is that less than 60 Hz, audio is pretty much...

Eq Hey, Cool stuff, and we need more rock music PERIOD! I agree a lot with the previous poster, EQing between the various tracks can do wonders. It's always a struggle, I play guitars on our track, and I ALWAYS want more guitar, the drummer always wants more drums, etc... I've found the...

Thanks~ Hey Sikter, Thanks for the kind words! I'm always trying to fit dissonant sounding chord progressions with more conventional chords, so I'm glad you liked it. The big loud choruses can be cleaned up a bit, I'm somewhat struggling with getting well mic'd distorted guitars right now...

Hey, So this is my first attempt to record anything (using Sonar 5), and it has been an extremely fun and humbling process for about 2 months now. Really looking for honest critique on my mixing/overall sound. It honestly sounds a touch muddy and dull to me. Overall levels are slightly low, as...
