Well I don't know about anyone else, but it worked for me and my non existant budget. Before my recorded guitar tone was way too airy, so I threw a large duvet over the amp and mic, and that extra atmosphere I didn't want disappeared! :)

pop filters seem incredibly expensive, aren't tights over a coat hanger just as effective?

cool stuff! I wish i had a good room...

Really cool posts guys, with a couple of exceptions. I wanted this to be a helpful thread, not a flame war. c7sus, I know he was bein an ass but PM the guy if you wanna argue with him please! Back to the original topic?

Re: Drum sound bigot in effect That site's looking good, thanks! I need to get a new snare wire, and a new head for the snare too (I've had the head since I bought the kit). Not sure what the snare is...it came with the kit, CB drums, only £300. It's 14", looks about 6" deep? Treatment for...

The mixer's a Behringer MX2642A, the soundcard's an Audiophile 2496. I can't afford to spend any more money right now. I've cut the lows on the snare and that's helped no end. The head's a bit battered as is the snare wire, so I'm gonna get those replaced and see how that helps.

Lol, good start. :D For what it's worth, my suggestion: spend time on getting your equipment sounding good before you jump in with recording! May sound obvious, but I'm always very impatient, I have to learn to restrain myself! (oo er)

Thanks for that info!

thats cool, these leads must be less than 5', and i haven't got the money to be buying new cables regardless!

Hi there, http://www.nowhereradio.com/tomewer/singles - the track called "Drums". This is the drum sound I've got at the moment. What I'm thinking: don't know what the hell is going on with the snare! It sounds more like a tom, and I don't really know why. I think the toms sound pretty good...

Again, what are these JV modules you talk abotu?

Re: Re: Strings! What's a Roland Guitar Synthesizer, and how much do they set you back? My primary instrument is the guitar, although I've been playing only less than two years (bass about a month, drums about six months).

bump...

This idea might not work, but it's worth a try. I've decided I won't start my recording until my exams are over (they start tomorrow, end in 17 days), so until then I'm going to be gagging to record! So until then, maybe the experts who browse this forum could regale us recording newbies with...

:D:D

That's what I figured! I'll have a look into these, thanks for that. Anything cheaper on offer?

Hi, I'd like to incorporate strings into some of my songs (I don't know, 5 piece band, violins, not sure), but i dont have a band handy. I was wondering if there were any realistic cheap/free programs that can help me out with this? Thanks

Yeah...I'm gonna start learning to play the violin ;) I'm sure there must be something free to get started on? I hope, because I am beyond broke at the moment!

Yeah I know, I know...At the moment I'm just using ordinary cheap guitar leads to hook em up, are these balanced/unbalanced and what difference would it make? They sound pretty damn good anyway!

No need to be humble, honest advice is what I'm looking for! You've covered a lot of stuff I've noted, which is good. I've already said I'm gonna start the drums in a bit earlier, as your right, it does get a bit old. Also, gotta change the levels a bit on them. I'd love to have strings, I've...
