I think you have too much of the bottom snare mic mixed in. This is one of my favorite songs ever, btw, it's nice to hear someone cover it! I have to admit I initially thought it was midi. But the rest of the instruments sound just as good. You must be in a really good room.

How does this sound? It's not in context of course, but I'm experimenting. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/21989-oelguitartest.mp3 The only processing I've done is limiting and volume maximization. No compression or post EQ or anything. The amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe sitting on a...

You have my answer already; get a dynamic mic. The reason you're getting too much signal when you have the amp turned up really loud is that condensers are much more sensitive. You either need an attenuator to pad the mic's output, a dynamic mic, or you need to back the mic off until the...

Superior Drummer's cymbals are very realistic. I've done several songs and nobody's questioned the authenticity of the drumming! I've had people say that the recordings sound better, and then sent them off to try and figure out how, but no one has guessed that the drums are sequenced.

Superior Drummer is sooo good. Everyone should have it. Revalver III pwns amplitube too. I believe, seriously, that if you have those two pieces of software and you're clever, that you might as well never record drums or a guitar amp again.

I replaced the link with the myspace I made. Please feed back at me!

How's the mix? And structurally, I'm not entirely happy with the ending, but it's all I could come up with for now. If you have any ideas, feel free to share. Here is my space!

What kind of snare do you figure is being played here? I assume it's a little piccolo but insight is cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeemBPqaKYo

Fixing it in the mix isn't the way for recording at home either. The first time I tracked in a real studio, that was the first thing the engineer did, go for the EQ. What we ended up getting was crap compared to what I can do in my bedroom (aside from the openness of the room, preamps and...

Every musician that has 'their sound' is an egotistical piece of work. There are good sounds and there are bad sounds, and there are obstructive, ear shattering sounds, and there are sounds that fit in well with a mix and some that don't, but 'your sound' is an excuse that will oftentimes fuck...

The key to a good recording is good parts. If your original sources don't sound, to your ears, exaclty how you want them to, you've already missed it. You need to convey emotion too. Your equipment is fine. If you want a pro quality recording, you need a pro engineer behind the gear...

Of course not, until you take away the fact that you can hear the snare and the whole sense of rhythm falls apart. the lowest common denominator can still tell a shitty performance apart from a great one.

lol. I think I'll just suggest he learns moeller...That made my snare playing much more consistent.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, but the real problem is still that our drummer hits like a bitch. That's where I'm going to start. A well-tuned snare hit hard should cut through a mix without being rimshotted. He needs to play more consistently and that's all there really is to it. I like this...

Pro Junior all the way. They're cheap and they sound amazing. After that, the Hot Rod Deluxe is a good amp, especially if you put a good speaker in, but if you have the money, the Deluxe Reverb or the Princeton are wonderful.

Last night, I saw a program on how Kennedy was a block of ballistics gel.

I'll throw in that if you don't have a line out or anything on the amp, the effects loop send will work most of the time.

Yeah...I never have any weird phase issues with my overheads, I measure the pair from the grill of the snare mic and mic cymbals from the bottom if I'm micing them at all. I do align transients on every recording I do to see how it all sounds though. Sometimes it makes things a bit punchier at...

It doesn't sound like there's any overheads! It's good for your first attempt.

I think they sound badass.
