    Recording A Screamer (vocals)

    I use an SM58 and a lot of compression. if I need some more dimension or space i usually add some delay really quiet in the mix...so you can't really hear it when the music is playing, only if the vocal track(s) is/are soloed. that would be my basic starting point anyway...

    A new way to mic drums

    I've done that, It's workable. I only had a few $5 radio shack mics so i put them inside the toms and snare to get better isolation bacause all i could hear when they were outside was blindingly loud hi hat. it can work but i wouldn't do it again if i didn't have to...

    Tuning a bass

    well, either the bass or the batteries here suck...this bass is on it's 3rd battery and it's been less than a year...maybe those 12 hour practices have something to do with that... anyway, whoever designed the bass i have here is not too bright, there's no separate battery compartment...it's in...

    cannot be played on CD player

    sounds like you just saved the sound forge data file to the cd....at least, that's what it sounds like from the description you gave... you need to render the project to a .wav file and burn that as an audio cd.

    Recording guitar Multi-effects

    ummm....? direct guitar can sound good for industrial metal and stuff like that, as a texture...y'know. Other than that, i'm against it. it makes mixing a pain...it's just...unnatural, like keanu reeves without the "whoa"

    What was the first song you learned to play?

    I like that song, the lyrics are...i dunno...i recommend another listen though. the song is called Suicide is Painless (i forget the artist) anyway, the first song i really learned how to play was Something In The Way by Nirvana...because it's like, only 2 chords...and it was also the first...

    I keep getting an UNWANTED Live sound.

    for guitars, make sure the mic is right up on the amp...as close to the speaker as you can get. micing the amp from too far away can make it sound "live"

    Make a new recording sound old?

    yeah, i'd say cutting the lows and highs would be a good start, and perhaps compress the shit out of it...i guess it also helps if you have one of those "radio" voices... i guess you could also try reamping the vocal through a shit speaker and mic that...that might be interesting

    delay a guitar to tape, or after?

    yeah...when I use delay it's usually in that U2 "integral to the sound" way... plus i am more a songwriter than a recordist, and don't usually have the patience to go over something again and again to make it "perfect"

    delay a guitar to tape, or after?

    i usually just record the delay to tape. I just like the way it sounds coming out of the amp, and it can affect the way i play certain parts...

    Click track with a band?

    I think a click track can kill the energy of a song (at least here in hard rock land) I would say be cautious about when and where you use it... and for the record, 'perfect' drums suck...y'know who has perfect drums? britney spears has perfect drums...linkin park has perfect drums...techno has...

    General Question - order of recording and how

    well, you are at least a registered user...i'm talking about the unregistered people who usually seem to vastly outnumber the registered users there should be some sort of registered user bandwidth priority or something. Not that i'm complaining about this free & totally awesome site, i'm just...
