I did this once by setting the mics up a foot or two from an open screen door (which had an extended overhang so there was no danger of rain hitting the mics). That was in the summer, though, so there was no concern for the temperature. A shed or other covered outdoor structure is a good...

Well, what is it you WANT to do? If you have a project that you're trying to fit into a constrained budget people here may have some suggestions to help you accomplish that. Not to burst your bubble, but $1200 isn't a whole lot in the recording world. You could easily spend that on one piece...

A few thoughts: First, anyone who designs your CD for you is going to do a poor job unless you're paying them well or they have some other committment to your work (such as a fan or friend). Second, I have found that unless you're selling so many CDs that you either don't have time to fulfill...

I'm not sure why, but I had never tried using room mics before. Usually I set up a coincident pair next to my guitar or voice and always have to battle for a good stereo image. I tried setting up some room mics today to pick up the ambient sound and the improvement seemed laughably easy. A...

Sorry...I just couldn't resist the developing theme, but feel free to expound.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I'm still not really sure what to do. The most frustrating part is that I wasn't having any trouble with it for the first 2 weeks. Now all of a sudden I can't hold two sixteenth notes down. What I'd like to know is if there's a preferred technique or...

This isn't a recording thread, so you meter junkies out there can tune out. I just bought a drum set a three weeks ago. I've been practicing fairly regularly, about an hour a day (broken into three 20-minute sessions). I'm having a lot of trouble with fast kick beats and I can't figure out...

Hmm, I just did a 140 city tour with a Passport and loved it...my only complaint was that there were only two 1/4" outputs. I don't know about Fender PAs in general, but I felt obliged to defend my gear! Peter

Hmm...I hear what you're saying, but a lot of it is foreign to me and sounds like when I tried to explain the use of 'govment' as slang for 'government' to Dutch people. So, anyone read a good book or series of articles about this? Peter

My brother and I are thinking of buying a house in the next year or so, and it's important to me that it have a suitable recording space. With regards to size, shape, and acoustics I know more or less what I'm looking for, but I'm in the dark about how I should treat the electricity and wiring...

Unless you're looking for massive quantities, anything on the internet is going to involve shipping costs which could eliminate your potential savings on the printing. I recommend seeking out a local copy store (not Kinko's or another chain), because they might be willing to barter with you on...

And one more thing, use a contract... for which you'll need to know how to spell. :rolleyes: Peter

In Philadelphia it's worth $50 bucks I suggest allowing your clients to choose between the various payscales mentioned in the previous post, at least initially. People who are well-rehearsed and don't need a lot of production will appreciate hourly rates; others may require more time and...

My old band bought S15e's new for $220 each, and that was four years ago. It's not a bad deal if the speakers really are in great shape and the stands are solid, but I'm curious how much they cost retail. Also consider what sort of treatment your equipment will get. If you expect a lot of...

Yes, the hot spot tool is what I'm talking about. It's very easy to use to create just about any shape you want.

The images don't have to overlap for my earlier comment to be useful. You can still save it as one file and use link fields in dreamweaver. Check out my site, I did something similar: www.poemadept.com Peter

What a coincidence, I'm broke and trying to set up a recording studio too! Please everyone, before you contribute to kevi's project, consider that my god is wrathful and imposing...you may not want to get on its bad side.

Do the parts of images that overlap actually need to be present? It sounds to me like you're creating a collage in dreamweaver (if not, ignore the rest). If that's the case, you'd be better off saving all of the overlapped images as one in photoshop or illustrator, and then importing that file...

I always felt my vocal recordings on the 57's came out a little flat sounding...I don't own any 58's so I have nothing captured to contrast the two, but I love them for live performance. Peter

Anyone have any comments on these mics? I'm more or less decided on buying the NTK, and thinking about the NT4. Mostly just curious about the NT5. Let me know if you have any experience with any of them and what you have liked or disliked. Thanks! Peter
