    Four-way mic shootout - female vox!

    Thanks for posting, and well done on the vocal performance! If I were sitting down to use one of these in a mix, I would reach for Mic #4 first. To my ears, it had the best balance of brightness and body that complimented your voice quite well. Mic #3 would be my second choice - it also fit...

    How do you make new takes in Logic?

    Guys, After one take is complete, you can simply leave that track record-armed and record again. Logic automatically saves the overdub as an alternate take. Once the second (or third, or fourth, etc.) takes are complete, click the arrow in the upper left-hand corner of the region and all of...

    Voice Over Work

    Thanks. It's more like a hobby gone out of control than a full-time living. :) There are places to download audio beds, though you get what you pay for. Most of the stuff I use is Logic-bundled, but I have purchased several RF libraries and some stuff we produce in-house. Part of what I do...

    Voice Over Work

    Here's a rough sketch of what I might do with a track like the one you posted: Eugene Taylor - Rough Demo with Audio Bed Can't put life into a lifeless read, but with a few edits, the recording certainly works. Were I in your seat and able to give him some influence, I would suggest he take...

    Voice Over Work

    Folks won't necessarily scour for the track, but he'll need a good basic "all around" that he can submit for projects, especially if he doesn't have his own setup at home to record custom demo's with (which, BTW, will put him at a HUGE competitive disadvantage). Here are some good examples of...

    Voice Over Work

    That's a loaded question. As someone who works in VO regularly, I have a few different demo reels: one "everything" reel that showcases a lot of different things (commercials, promos, phone stuff, etc.), and a "specialty" reel for each commercials, corporate promos, and phone work. The demo...

    Why do I have a billion rep points

    Might've gotten hit with a "super rep" - i.e. someone on the board with more pull than others. The rep points don't mean much around here... :)

    New To Mac

    Correct; Logic has a list of "GarageBand" plugins available to accomplish just that. However, if you have built customized plugins in GB (e.g. if you took a standard plugin in GB, edited it's parameters, and saved it as a custom plug-in), then you would need to import this plugin into Logic...

    VO studio setup: Right or Wrong? What say YOU?

    Ideally, look for an elongated bass trap that can run down the corner seam at least 2'. Start from the top corner and work your way down until you get the deadness you want. You can build these yourself by cutting some 3-4" strips of OC-703 rigid fiberglass, stacking a couple together, and...

    VO studio setup: Right or Wrong? What say YOU?

    voiceguy, Welcome to the boards. If you haven't already, you may want to consider duplicating your post on D.B. Cooper's VO-BB (just Google it) to attract some VO-specific feedback. I'm one of a few voiceover producers who haunt around this site; most of the feedback you'll find here is from...

    Email from se regarding the reflexion filter

    To Glen's point, I cannot comment on the PVB as I have not owned or used one. I do own an sE Reflexion Filter (you can search through my old posts to find a pic of it in my studio; I'm too lazy to do it myself), and it works as advertised.* * Disclaimer: I have a decent sounding room to begin...

    Why a Drum Riser?

    Correct; it was to raise the whole drum kit. I'd have to see if I have any pictures of it - I recall the idea originally being in Modern Drummer magazine back in the mid 90's, when they ran a step-by-step pictorial of how they built the exact same thing. And yes, it was small! I was using a...

    Why a Drum Riser?

    Look, man... your personal life is your own business. :eek: :D I think you're right on. From what I've heard first-hand, using a riser or "floating floor" for the drums isn't much different from what you can accomplish with a drumframe - which is one of those rack jobs that suspends the bass...

    what cymbal is this?

    I'm with RimShot here... the jazz greats all had amazing control on their cymbals. Find a good teacher in your area and let him/her give you some guidance. It's hard to beat having someone actually watch you and make corrections. Here are a few video ideas for you, too: Primer video with...

    what cymbal is this?

    Looks like a Zildjian A Custom in the video: Zildjian A Custom Ride There are a few variations (standard, medium, ping, projection) - but most the A Customs sound similar. There's obviously a good deal of technique that goes into the final sound (which the drummer in the video had a distinct...

    You might have luck posting a WTB in the ads section of the forum. Shoot me a PM... I have a box of these laying around somewhere from a MD4 I used to use.

    Removing a noise from my recording..

    Alex, There are a few ways to do this, depending on the type of noise you're getting rid of. Here are the two most common: Situation 1: You have a vocal recording that was recorded in a poorly treated or noisy room. The vocals sound OK, but you can hear the fridge (or whatever) running in...

    audio interface

    "Hi, I'd like to buy a new car. What's the best one to get?" :D:rolleyes::D OK, that's a little over the top. :) But the analogy is almost the same - we'd need a great deal of additional information to make a sane recommendation. 1. What is your "basic recording purpose?" Guitar and...
