i'm no expert ...but if you put a little reverb in the master bus it might make the track feel as if it was all recorded in the same room? but like i said i'm no expert and i still haven't figured out how to get the volume leves just right yet either :)

acoustic and vocals both recorded with a mxl 990 Been away too long i had to EQ the acoustic a bit because the bass strings were real boomy - i think i had the mic too close ....i'm not happy with the result ... i am still only getting used to the mic ... any advice would be much...

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES...this weekend i will hopefully have something with lyrics :)

Yeah Tim i am very interested in this... but i must go to bed now because it is 5 am and i am about to fall asleep...i will check this tomorrow ..thanks a lot Tim :)

mmm thats a tricky one ....let me see i'd say 14 x 10 feet ceiling 8 feet ...bedroom ....a lot of furniture thus making the room very small lol .... a lot of musical instruments / wardrobes / bed computer ..... i do see your point about micing the guitar in an open field ... i have an idea...

what i don't get is that some people say they compress individual files , for example a kick drum, ac/ guitar, snare..... but then other people say they use a limiter to do the same thing ...... from what i have learnt so far on the forum ...a compressor should be used on individual tracks...

hey tim, that leaves me thinking that it must be something to do with how close i positioned the mic / how hard i plucked the bass strings because i recorded in the centre of my bedroom and its a pretty big room ... i honestly do believe that i placed the mic about 2 feet away ... because when...

cool i knew i was doing somethin right :D

Wow, thanks for the response tim, much appreciated... yeah i don't have any finger nails so i use the tips of my fingers...i was thinking perhaps i played the bass strings too hard and thats how i got the boomy effect..... but i see what you say, it has a lot to do with the room and the mic...

hey tim, when you do post again will you listen to my new version that i made today with the 2 mics.... MXL with stereo micing its not as good as the first effort in my opinion ..... my bedroom is too noisy....doors being shut downstairs / next door / cars going past my house / dogs barking...

thanks guys i tried the stereo micing idea ...but 2 condenesers in my room was picing up way too much background noise ...so i think i will stick to the single mic approach in future ....interesting that u said i should try putting the guitar dead centre and the vocals in hard stereo ... i'll...

Hi Farview, what other ways are there to use a limiter? :confused:

Hey guys, this is a very simple acoustic piece i literally made it up in 2 minutes ...i just wanted to try out my friends new mxl 990 and see what it would sound like ... i placed it about 2 feet away from the 12th fret .... MXL990 Test I intend to write lyrics for it ...does this sound ok...

Hey guys i have only recently started to get the hang of the brickwall limiter concept.... Before i often wondered why my mixes were so quiet ...then i started to stick a limiter on the master bus and pull down the threshold ... However i have since noticed that if you drop the threshold too...

Wow - this is cool!!!! i liked it when it was just guitar ...but the drums really make it sound cool !!!!!!!!
