    Proper headphones, no b.s which ones?

    Beyerdynamic DT100 or AKG K272 HD Bear in mind that I will be using these to record, but also for all other music listening purposes, i.e plaines trains etc and nightly tv watching while the missus is asleep...what do you think?

    Recording Metal in a Small Garage

    k I had a crazy idea of recording like you once, to get a 'live sound' and be 'different' you could do that, and have the amps and p.a's all pointed in 1 direction, and have the condenser mic at the other side of the room turned down very low, would still sound awful though, compared to a...

    Recording Metal in a Small Garage

    wow I kinda like this, it sounds so black metal its unbelivable, Varg Vikerness would be very proud to call this his own, but its not the sound you want. Download Cubase SE - probably free if you look hard enough. I don't remember payin.. Record each instrument one at a time, or direct input...

    REAL quick answer needed re phantom power

    unfortunatly Without a pre amp with phantom power you can't test it, I assume its a real condenser not one of those gay usb ones...I have almost the same problem, I have a pre amp and have tested it, but can't use my reel to reel till my godamn mixer gets here.

    Guitar AMP recording?

    apparently The best thing to do is to point your preferably dynamic mic at one of the cones at a 45 degree angle, and obviously face the pickups away from the amp when you play

    Getting that 60's Powerful Bass Sound!

    well you see er.. Me and a friend of mine achieved just what you're looking for, we used his 5150 guitar amp with low bass and a little gain, used a sm57 pointed directly at the cone of the top right speaker, sounded awesome. ITS LITERALLY THE ONLY HUMAN WAY ONE CAN create SUCH A SOUND! :drunk:

    Rough 'edgy' recording

    Thats an awesome piece of information to have, like, after years of proffessionalism most artists must crave that raw sound they had when they started out . Do you have any of your edgy recordings available for a listen?

    Rough 'edgy' recording

    At what point in recording does it go from 'edgy' to 'amateur' Due to my financial situation im well aware that my recordings are going to sound very different to mainstream stuff, but I want to make that a selling point. Anybody else had any ideas like this or know of any bands who do this on...

    My songs are way too short.

    What I normally end up doing is writing like...3 lines of a song, recording an awesome track to sing it over..and I can't take it any further. And the song just plays like an instrumental track after about 30 seconds. I read in an article about blues songs that repetition is key, but this just...
