Carlito just nailed it. The sound of the Snare and the Kick are too similar. First of all tune your kit to its best. Then get a mic in front of the kick so you get the beefy sound and not just the thin beater sound youre getting. Move the mic around to see what works best. With the snare I...

Yeah, why dont you record yourself and post it here so we can hear the same as you and give you some advices. From my perspective gear is not THAT important. It will certainly help, but the most important thing is talent. Just as a talented musician can make a crappy instrument sound great, a...

Double track instead of faking it with track cloning, to me that never works to well, it misses the spacial effect double tracking produces. The guitar sound is really nice. Perhaps I would try to capture a little more low end since the guitar is the only instrument in the track. When in a...

Oh yeah, and probably a Waldorf Blofeld module... Those look SWEET

I wish mine was as fancy as everyone's here, but sadly its not. This is what I use: Akai Miniak Yamaha tx81z Korg Electribe R E-MU Xboard 49 Looking forward to buy a mini kaoss pad and probably a small analog synth

Hey thanks a lot for that tip! That was kind of the answer I was looking for. Ill deffinitely try that. As I asked before, what if my room ends up being a crap no matter the position? What treatment would you suggest Thanks to everyone

Sad :( How much dux it go for? I just bought a tascam us144 but seeing us800 goes gor a hundred makes me want to sell mine immediatly and get those 8 channels!

Recordings like these gives all of us newbies the hopee that we could someday be able to record music with low budget and really good quality. Cheers!

Have you sold the us800 jimmy?

Thanks for your advices! So when I move the amp around the room, what should I look for? I know what's "best" to my ears wont be the "best" to your ears, but any advices on the kind of sounds or positions I should avoid? I havent developed a great hearing ability for this kind of things. Also...

Im really a begginer at this. Today I was experimenting close miking a guitar cab with a condenser mic and I wasnt very pleased with the results. The mic was picking room sound (which I like, I hate dead sounding recordeings) but it was really aweful. The recording lacked deffinition and the...

Well Im a begginer and today I was experimenting with my akg c4000 close to my guitar amp. I was going for a crunchy and kind of muddy arpeggiated sound. The results were not the best. I know I lack a lot of the ability, but I was just unable to get the sound I was going for. The sound was too...

Man that SOS articule is great! Thanks a lot bobbsy. Its so complete that I havent finished reading it yet.

I havent heard of it being too fragile. But thats no surprise if you consider its a tube condenser mic. Anyone has had experience with any of these two?

And what kind of sounds do you get with condensers? Condensers are much more sensitive than your usual 57 and also have a wider freq response, so I guess the achieved sound may not be for everyone Thanks for your answers!

When do you guys do this? What mics do u use? What are your results? (what type of sound) Any advices or techniques? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just curious about this. I want to know what sound are you going for when you use a condenser instead of the more common dynamic and how do...

I'm thinking in getting one of these mics (or maybe both if i save), so I wondered if anyone could tell me about their experience with these. I own an akg c4000 and sm57. I want to be able to get different sounds and have option when a mic is not giving me the sound I'm looking for. I mainly...

God this sounds like a real pain. Thanks guys! If my room is wider than longer which would be my critical spots?

In a mix everything should have its own place. When different instruments played together have similar frecuencies the mix sounds unbalanced because frequencies interfeer with each other. What you should do is hear each of your recorded tracks and asi your self what do you want from that...

I guess thats what ill do. Also I currently have a writer's block so I dont really have any serious thing to record. For thats reason ive been experimenting with mic positions instead of trying to record a full track
