Its all about having good samples. Also play around with different volume levels - accents and that. Having the snare and hats always at the same velocity isn't natural. Muck around with minor tming nuances.

You have to give us more information than that. What brand microphones? What type? Model#s? What signal chain you got goin there? Do you have a good singer, or is it voiceover stuff?

And no sound sample...

Depends. Your talking about drum overheads right? It will work, the quality won't be great but it will be decent. I used two for overheading my drums and I got a reasonably decent recording. I mean it wasn't incredibly lofi but it wasn't great.

96khz is the frequency of sampling (sampling rate), not the frequency of sound.

Was produced by Eric valentine who I think did Good Charlotte and Smashmouth(was/is a member?). You could perhaps look up some of his production tricks if he reveals any. You woudl be best to start with grohls kit and heads and then go from there.

If you want to make beats then MIDI isn't what your looking for (at the time). You will want to look into a program called Fruity Loops - Its a music sequencer - you can very easily make very good beats on it if you know anything about music. Its the best program of its kind available for PC...

les also has more money than anyo f us.

Well if your mixing panel has 'gain' knobs on the XLR channels then it has microphone preamps built into it. I'm not sure how good your mixer is - but chacnes are the preamp on your mixer won't be terribly decent. You might want to invest in an outboard preamp if you have the money.

What your looking for is normalization software. Search google for it.

Whered you get the circuit diagrams? Did you make the PCB yourself or order it?

What have you tried, Rhamett?

What a hair ass mofo.

I believe telephones are optimized for 2400/2600hz - the rough frequency of a womans voice. So maybe if you cut those frequencies mentioned in 'cracked lids' post and boost 2400-2600 then you might get some cool results. Either that or microphone into phone extension.

Practise makes perfect mate, practise makes perfect. Like I said just copy some beats from mxtabs.net from those bands you mentioned and then play around with them. Theres no special 'secret' of how to make good beats - just listen to the music and learn more theory. If you can't place the...

You could get a cheap midi keyboard to tap it in. However I would reccomend simply copying some tabs from tori-amo/live etc and seeing if they fit with the song. You can then change them and you will have a good solid base for the song. The samples make the drum sound by the way. Like Hojo...

Try going into your Line IN, instead of Mic IN. You will get much much better results. :)

I like the 'anvil' snare sound. Appropriate.

My guess is that the cut comes from clipping - ie. you are putting too much volume on it. I think you may be going throug the Microphone In instead of a line in. That would explain the cutting and the distortion.

I just tried this method out with my new mixer. I am very impressed with my results. Originally my recordings using the same mic combination were quite lifeless but with this method it works well, especially the stereo imaging. I used to 58s and one bargain basement dynamic. I know 58s aren't...
