    How Do I. . .

    There is a common technique used on vocals called the "stereoizer" that actually uses two short delays of different length, one on the left channel and the other on the right. To avoid comb filtering, people seem to like to use prime numbers at least 10ms apart for the delay times, such as 11...

    The Darkest Sh*t On Guitar??? Which One Is It???

    [f diminished] Cut down in its youth. Passing hooligans periodically desecrate the corpse. A tragic fate for an epic thread. [/f diminished]

    How Do I. . .

    I think you just use a loud delay with a long delay time and low regen (AKA feedback). Do you just want it on one track? The whole mix?

    Do i NEED to mic an amp?

    My spouse works from home and sometimes I just can't even DI an acoustic guitar. So I broke my POD XT out of storage and tried using it for the first time in several years. It's really NOT doing it for me. I don't want to buy a piece of software either. Is there a small piece of hardware I...

    Do you remember your first songs ?

    I think I was four or five years old when I wrote my first song. It was called "The Birthday Bee," and my parents made me sing it to all the relatives who proclaimed it to be the sh*t. :D Don't get me wrong. It was no "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," but it was good in its own way. My latest...

    industry standard mics?

    I guess you don't mind turning the AC off whenever you are recording, or doing a retake if the fridge upstairs makes ice, or the garbage truck drives by. I don't have that kind of patience or endurance, so I'll stick to the dynamic mics, tyvm.

    industry standard mics?

    There are some other mics that are also considered "standards," like the RE2, which is widely hailed as the broadcast recording industry standard mic. Also, for live vocals, the SM58 is "standard," and Bono reportedly won't record with anything else than an SM58. I've heard the SM7B called the...

    I need an acoustic guitar amp

    I also have a Taylor with the Fishman Pickup. I have the California Blonde and I am very happy with it. Other acoustic amps I tried were not a good match for it, but I didn't try every amp out there. As soon as I tried the California Blonde, I knew I had found "the one."

    I feel dirty ...

    GAS got me again. Where's my sponsor when I need him? http://proguitarshop.com/store/effects-fuzz-pedals-c-602_7/wattson-classic-electronics-fuzz-p-634 IMA use it on my bass too, like the Beastie Boys did on Sabotage.

    How do you deal with haters?

    Yes. I think "folklore" is the apropriate word. The Texas Legislature specifically renounced the right to secede in 1866, and the current Texas Constitution does not contain any prevision preserving the right to secede. There are certainly "feelgood movements" within Texas that like to put on...

    Newb over here. Question on Mic & Preamp in a room with Computer hum

    I don't know about getting the clone over the focusrites. I know I'd get the clone over the neve, and pocket $3500. I'd liek to hear the focusrites compared to the neve to see if the difference, if any, is worth $300 to me. I think I kind of liked the SM7B over the SM58. It seemed "smoother"...

    Newb over here. Question on Mic & Preamp in a room with Computer hum

    I looked into the Golden Age neve clone, and found these shoot out clips at zen pro. I downloded them, conveted them to wav so I could import them into pro tools, and listened on my monitors. Maybe I'm just deaf and stupid, but I really could not tell any difference at all between the neve and...

    Newb over here. Question on Mic & Preamp in a room with Computer hum

    I found that, without a well isolated studio, compressor mics created a lot of headaches for me. They would pick up everything, from computer hum, to the AC blowing out of the vents, to the fridge kicking in on another floor, to cars out in the street. I decided to push the easy button and...

    I finsished remixing after hooking up my monitors, and the new mix is up on my sounclick page, which is accessible via the link in my sig. I haven't had much opportunity to evaluate whether the current placment of my monitors really is giving me accurate tracking, and I'd appreciate some...

    1st real attempt

    no Lots of people, including your potential fans and customers, hit up iTunes and listen to hooks on laptop speakers. Why wouldn't you want your mix to sound good on laptop speakers? Not every 13 year old is going to have expensive headphones or monitors to enjoy your mix. And they're the...

    1st real attempt

    Very nice!:) If it were me, I'd automate those guitars to bring them down when the vocals are present. Also, I'm listening on my lap top, and I can't hear a bass part at all, which is a common problem when porting to it. This thing http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MaxxBCL/ is...
