The second mix is a lot better. The vocals in the first mix were kind of burried and the dynamics of the mix were kinda out of hand and that all seems to have been taken care of. This is good for being done in a dorm room! If I can suggest anything, it would be to turn the guitars down a bit...

I started getting much clearer, more present toms since I started micing them with the mic pointing straight into the head with not much of an angle and retuning the drum when it sounds shitty. Unless the toms sound how you want them to sound, don't bother micing them. It just makes the...

Maybe he means...More transparent or more detailed overall? He could be recording something in stereo with it too, it's got two inputs! It's not so odd of a statement.

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. With the picture and the way you phrased a few things, I thought you might be asking an honest question OR be someone fucking around, you know? No disrespect meant. If you've got a Waves bundle, you most likely have a few good chorus effects. Some of the...

I don't quite understand the question. You're looking for help with choruses and synths...The word chorus means two different things to me. I don't mean to be a dick if I am, but are you trolling? What exactly are you going for? Writing catchy rock stuff or operating a chorus plugin?

That's all it is; it's another sound to use when you don't like what you've got already. That's all any plugin or piece of gear is.

I think the PG57 sounds pretty nice on snare. Your 57 sounds like ass dude. Unless that's what they all sound like. I hope not. That's no good : ( The e609 is my favorite on the tom. Sounds clicky and boomy and smooth.

Dude, if you can spend a little more than 200...Maybe 250...This is gonna be one of your best bets. http://cgi.ebay.com/CAD-M9-Tube-Large-Condensor-Microphone-NEW-DEALER_W0QQitemZ190149128479QQihZ009QQcategoryZ41466QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It's not going to sound scooped but you...

Most JSXs I've heard are really bright and fizzy. I'd definitely mic it closer to the outside of the speaker. Trust your monitors though, not your ears hearing the amp. This is the number one reason why a lot of people hate how their recorded guitar/snare/kick/anything close miced sounds...

It can almost go undisputed in every crowd that the RP5s are the best deal for the price. I've A/B'd stuff up to HR824s against these and I'm sold that you're gonna need to pay at least 400 a monitor to beat the RP5s clarity and how flat they really are.

Here's the only immediately available sample of this tecnique I have. The guitar was a semihollow dot/es335 kinda guitar with old ass strings, bass is a standard fender jazz bass. Both were miced at the 12th fret with a CAD m177 and DI into a Firepod. I'm not proud of this recording. It's a...

I want to emphasize not just pointing the mic at a certain part of the speaker. You'll save yourself a lot of trial and error by having the amp set up at a low volume with good iso headphones on and moving the mic around and finding a spot that jumps out at you. Some speakers are way too...

I do it. I'm not anybody big, but I am getting to the point of always doing it for clean guitars. If you process it right and set it in low, it adds a really nice acoustic quality to any electric stringed instrument. It's nice on bass for certain genres too. Parallel compression of bass...

Screw my post. I didn't like it. I change it! if you play good, the amp sounds good...Start with your SM57 on the sweet spot of one of the speakers you're pumping that baby through. If you really need more than that, take your best condenser and...Don't shoot me...Mic the strings of the...

I'm a lead guitarist, but I keep my amp set up specifically and only ever turn my volume knob at the beginning of the session. Our rhythm guitarist on the other hand not only uses a solid state combo, but insists on setting his EQ up to achieve a sound he wants vs. one that will actually sit...

Ah, but very natural and convincing still don't account for the same inadequacies we see in say tape vs. digital...The physical interaction and all the random physics involved, all the flaws...They make it real. I don't think there's any way to make fake drums sound real and to fool someone...

Here's a manual for the U87ai: U87ai Here's a manual for the AKG Perception 100/200: Perception 100/200 I've never used either microphone, but their frequency response plots are really similar and I've heard that if you don't get a lemon, the perception 100 is a very, very nice mic. I...

Looks quite interesting. I'd imagine the pres would be a little better. It's got good I/O too. Someone should get one and compare! Not me. I'm broke. But I'm interested because if it's better, I can think about my next firewire interface.

I dunno, some genres of music are good with drum machines, just like some genres of music are good autotuned and quantized. But I think it's ludicrous for some genres! Would you ever sequence a guitar solo? The fire and emotion you can put into physically manipulating something like a string...

These have been begging me to buy them for a year or so now...Are they as good as I think they are based on in-store tests? I know 5 inch woofers won't produce low lows but I've got a set of PC speakers with a subwoofer to check mixes on too. I'm more concerned about the imaging and clarity of...
