Check it out guys! Jimmy worked his magic! Without Samples (Before): https://soundcloud.com/illadvised/thanks-for-nothing-4 With Samples (After): https://soundcloud.com/illadvised/thanks-for-nothing-1

Jimmy would probably know more and be able to give you a better answer than I would, but from my experiences I don't think the general listening public can tell the difference between programmed drums that are created to sound like a real kit through samples and a recorded kit unless it's...

I just finished a couple smaller tracks to finish up the arrangement for the song. I wrote, performed, and recorded everything myself...an attempt at including a different perspective into a pop punk/post-hardcore song...full string arrangement...piano...organ...glockenspiel...etc. I know Jimmy...

Hey guys, I'm running Pro Tools 10 on a 2011 iMac. The drums were mic'd and tracked: 1 Mic Hi-Hat 1 Mic Snare (Top only) 1 Mic Kick drum (inside the shell, I believe) 1 Mic Sub-Kick 1 Mic Rack Tom 1 Mic Floor Tom 1 1 Mic Floor Tom 2 1 Mic Overhead L 1 Mic Overheard R Here's the drum track...

Is that difficult to do, and could you point me in the right direction of a tutorial or something? I assume I could keep the overheads and just replace the kick and snare, and maybe a few toms if needed? I've heard great things about Steven Slate drum samples.

Hey guys, I'm in the process of putting together a rough mix of a few tracks that I recorded drums in a studio in 2011. The experience was awful to say the least, and the drum tracks are pretty spotty. Playing wise they're solid, but the snare drum sounds like a toy drum and the toms are pretty...

Thank you so much for the feedback! In my original post I also failed to remember that the third track was recorded using a Blue USB Mic, so it's not a great example of the SM7b but I guess just my voice. I went to Guitar Center and asked to try out a mic and they were like, "Huh?" but it could...

I have a pretty loud voice (a decibel meter I used once read it peaked at 103 dB) and I use the SM7b. I don't really know how I can "test out" other microphones without going to a studio, so I was hoping based on the clips below you guys could help identify a decent condenser or other type of...

Thanks for all the advice guys! I will most definitely give all those options a shot. Yeah, it's some sort of pipe. That's a good idea! I'll give that a shot with some extra black out curtains I have. I use monitors for a couple reasons. One, is that I find myself fidgeting with headphones...

Hey guys, I've begun work on trying to record a collection of songs to hopefully compile an album if the quality is somewhat decent. I'm in an untreated room using an SM7b with a Primacoustic Voxguard shield. My signal chain is: SM7b -> Apogee Duet -> iMac -> Pro Tools -> Yamaha HS50 speakers...

I'm a sophomore music major at a university and I've been taking a lot of sound engineering classes the past few semesters. I'm taking an arranging/songwriting class next semester which will require that I record stuff on my own, in the school studio, and mix it in and out of school. I write and...
