Thanks Ronan... that means alot coming from you. OK, we are definitely going to try a harder beater and see what happens. I'll use the EQ suggestions you gave also.

Thanks for the replies. The mic I'm using inside the kick is a Beta52. So what are the negatives to using a hard beater? Are they more likely to bust a hole in the head? Do they wear out the head faster? Is it just a different sound? Yeah, I think I'm trying to get something that's not there...

I've got 8 inputs to work with and here's how I've been approaching mic'ing up drums: 2 OHs 1 Snare 1 Kick drum 1 Kick drum beater 1 Shared Small/Mid tom (mic'd in between) 1 Low tom 1 Room Mic I usually put a SM57 on the beater. The problem is that it sounds like poo and I feel like I'm...

I don't know who these people are but many of them SUCK. It cracks me up when the author puts a little note at the top like: "I'm positive this tab is 100% correct!!!" It's almost always not even close to 100% correct. I can usually quickly determine which tab is pretty accurate... and then...

So does anyone know the identity of the band and/or producer? When did all this happen, the copyright says 2002, 2004... I assume the project started in 2002 and hasn't been completed?

If that's the case then you should seriously consider the wattage of the amp you purchase. The Strawberry Blonde cannot keep up with my rock band. It's only a 50-watt amp if I remember correctly. Basically I use it as my personal monitor and run the line out to the PA for rehearsals and gigs. It...

About a year or two ago I was in the market for an acoustic amp and played every amp I could find. I think I played that Trace Elliot you listed. I also checked out a Roland-- don't know if it was the same model you listed. Anyway, the short story is the only acoustic amp that I really liked and...

Cool song man! I'm not trying to pour salt in a wound but... you really gotta get someone else to do the vocals. That song needs someone to wail and do it justice! It's a good song. I think the kick and the snare could use some beef. They sound a little thin to me. The guitar tones are NICE...

Man I really liked it. I didn't feel like I was listening to a home recording at all. One observation on the mix was when the dude started throwing down those fast lines I thought maybe it was a *little* too out in front of the rest of the mix. I think it could come down a db or two. But that's...

Pretty cool song. I think the mix sounded pretty darn good. I like the snare sound and the cymbals sounded nice. I'm assuming they were some kind of samples? The toms sounded a little cheesy, IMO. :D I really think you need another part in there. Some kind of bridge/interlude thing. It got a...

You're right! LOL! Just kidding, that was interesting. Thanks dudes!

Likewise, how many songs are on an EP? Are there any standards? Are those labels basically meaningless nowadays?

First off... offering any type of free instruction is awesome-- especially when it involves bandwidth-intensive video ($$$)! So kudos to you on that. However, in my honest opinion, it was just a video of some guy wanking off on pentatonic blues licks. I'm not sure how much value it would be to...

You can't just tell us you are getting new amp without telling us what it is! :mad:

If you like the sound and it's just a phase problem... then the issue is simply mic placement. Just move the room mic around until you don't have a noticable phase problem. Alot of people seem to follow the 3-to-1 rule. Make the distance from the mics to the source a 3-to-1 ratio. So if your...

What I don't understand is how do they not ruin their mics? I thought moisture (spit) was bad for condensers? I haven't seen any pop filters on that show.

Good call. I'll try to post it tonight. I've got band rehearsal tonight so it might have to wait until tomorrow. Thanks for your interest in helping though... I really appreciate it!

Thanks... I'll do that! It seems like I've seen people around here talking about getting an M160 for less than $400. Maybe it was a used mic or some blowout sale. Still, $425 is not bad at all. If that's the best I can find... I'll bite.

I'll have to check to make for sure... but I don't believe any peak hit -.3 or above. Anyway, I had a chance to mess with it a little last night. I bounced a mix and then encoded it into a .wma file. I then burned it to a CD-RW that will play in my car stereo. I also added that same file to my...
