Old digital colour... I got a trick, use old processors like a yamaha an spx90 on drums. Every company these days is fighting to raise the bar and sterilize everything we track in an attemp to sound more hifi. Gear that was intended to sharpen your sound in 80's can help to regain seriously...

Anyway, there's this trick to fix a recorded dull snare sound: send the snare sound to a bass amp, put the speaker on the back, speaker facing the ceiling. Put a snare drum upside down on the speaker and mic the snare bottom, there you have the crisp. thanks Han, that's amazing. I hope I...

Josh Homme... Kyuss/Queens Of The Stonw Age

Nothing like confusing someone who just wanted to ask a simple question. Here's my experience spend alot of $$$ on tubes and spend alot of time quizing the guys at the thetubestore.com. JJ ecc83's are known to smooth the bite of the preamp section. Powertubes are the last and most vital line of...

Apple makes it's own DAW software and it's own operating system so now that OSX has hit 64bit, you can bet Logic will be the first to adapt. They also have a new option within Logic that G5 processors can be linked together via ethernet and employ the power to the machine running the DAW. So...

I'm totally stoked about this. I've got a 1010lt card and have been looking for better DAW software to use with it. Obviously I'd have to throw my card out if I wanted to go protools last year. Now I'm gonna pick m-audio protools and another 1010lt and I'll have mucho I/O and a solid DAW for...

wow, I was 14 when I heard Master Of Puppets and I was still old enough to realize that they were carving new ground. they have nothing to be ashamed of pre black album. The movie yes is cheap, I realize they may have needed some kinda of coaching to sever bad water over the years but they need...

I too look for an aggressive sound from the kit. One thing I found with aux and the kit is I'd send the overheads and toms to a bus then leave the kick and snare out. Compress the aux seperately and the snare and kick are free to sit on top and stand out as they should be. Now you can beef the...

if it sounds different, I'll take it. I'm looking forward to experimenting and taking full advantage of the low cost of decent mics.

I'm in the same boat, I've been using an spx90 live for over 10yrs and I couldn't replace it. Now I'm saving for the TC electronics M300, here it's only $265 cdn. They make great sounding gear, it has xlr's, midi, and knobs to tweak your sound instead of scrolling menus. This price is so sweet...

Cheers everyone, I'm gonna make some upgrades this summer and the first thing in the cart will be another Delta1010. pros for me... 1/ I'm very happy with the one I already have. 2/ partnership with protools 3/ low $$$

I started out playing guitar wanting to badly record my sketch ideas. After a couple per/hr studio experiences and $3000 spent on a finished product that was just "alright". That didn't cut it for me, they always said the more experience infront of the mic the better. Well, why not apply that in...

That is a sweet rough design, i'd use it myself as an inspiration but I can't afford enough board to justify it. :eek:

I agree, studio looks nice. But myspace is cheese. :cool:

The sound your hearing is likely two different amps mic'd for the same take and then panned. This way the character of amp1 will shine durring a certain part of the track then amp2 will shine at a different time challenging your ear back and forth. Which would be a constant reminder that your...

that kicks ass, thanks Tim. I've seen some simple triggers on ebay, a little red pad and a little goose neck connected to a jack that clips to the side of an acoustic drum. They were like $50 for four toms and a kick trigger. I like the idea of the remo practice pad, those should be pretty...

I read in a home recording book about building a drum riser for soundproofing reasons (less surface area touching the floor...) but that was it. Nothing more techinical than that.

Chances are with a clear head you couldn't hear what made it so damn cool and chances are slim you'd get all smoked out and hear the same thing twice so why bother? :cool:
