    Could use some opinions!

    Well a little more tinkering. I added a little more bass. What I would like to do with this song (and a few others that are better recorded than this one) is give them to a local Christian Radio station, and see if they could get some air time. Would you say that this would be good enough for...

    Could use some opinions!

    A1A2, Thanks for your comments, but I'm not sure If I understand your suggestion entirely. Are you saying: 1. Use less compression on the instraments to let the vocalls come through more. 2. adjust the volume on the instruments more so they get jump to the front only on some highlights...

    Could use some opinions!

    Tried to fix some things. . . Here are a few changes I have made to try to improve things a little: 1. fixed the timming of the drums as best I could. 2. Tried to tighten up the electrick guitar track. 3. Re-EQed several tracks to try to give some more bass, and take away the...

    Could use some opinions!

    B.SABBATH, Thanks for the input. I made some adjustments to the eq on the overheads (I think it helped). I also changed the compressor on the lead vocal, which seemed to thicken it up a bit. I made a couple adjustments on the endeing, but I'm not sure if it made much difference. I...

    Could use some opinions!

    This is a song I recorded a while back, and I wasn't real pleased with it (the drums for example were recorded with some old peavey dynamic mics, that really were bad). I would love some opinions on the mix (good or bad). I'm not the most experienced at this. Thanks in advance...

    Echo Mia virtual outputs are overloading and don't know why!

    Nigie, If I understand your problem correctly, You have two tracks in your sequencer that are causing clipping, and you are trying to turn it down with your mia console. The fadders in your mia console (if I remember right) are only for monitoring purposes. As a result you are turning down...

    What does everbody use for a bass Pre amp?

    Several months ago I got a demeter hm1. I got it because I wanted a good quality stereo tube pre (and I got it for a very good price). I was not disipointed with the pre end of things, but I was shocked with the quality of the DI. The first time I used it, I was recording a bass player that I...

    Aardvark vs. M-Audio vs. MOTU

    I have a 2408mk3 and am very happy with it. It replaced an echo mia card - and the sound is definitely better (better sterio immage, tighter sound, etc.). I havent personally compared it to the ardvark units, but I asked lots of questions on different forms to try to talk to ones that had...

    Word clock help please!

    I have a lucid genx6-96 a motu 2408mk3 and a dbx 386 that I want to sync to the genx6, I made a 4' bnc cable (75 0hm), connected the word out from the genx6 to the word in of the 2408, and then set the motu clock to word in. It locks (I can change the frequency with the genx), but when I leave...

    Pick up a Lucid Genx-96 for cheap

    I will be using it with a motu 2408mk3 and 24i. I just bought this setup, and will be getting everything the first of next week. I also have a dbx 386 that could benifit from the genx as well, but I probably will be selling this soon as I mostly used it for the digital outputs, and I will no...

    Single Channel Pres Around $1000

    This is a two channel pre so you might not be interested in it, but the Demeter hm1 is pretty amazing IMHO. I bought mine used for 550, new they run for a little over 1000 (bayview pro audio). I don't know what you are planing on using the pre for, but The Demeter unit is very quite, very...

    SP C4 and friends in Canada.

    jslator, "This is a myth. The only tax you will be charged coming through the border on the vast majority of recording equipment is GST/PST (which in most provinces is about 15%, so I'm guessing that's what you are referring to)." You are right, I was refering to the 15% tax, not another...

    SP C4 and friends in Canada.

    man@work I purchased a vocemaster pro form these guys. It was a good experience and I got it for less money than if i had gone through the Us (once you figure exchange and the 15% tax they charge coming through the border. This is what i have found so far (with few exceptions). If I am...

    total silence . . . good or bad?

    "what you should do is go into your closet with like 10 cans of that spray foam and just fill the thing up till you cant move. then have someone cut you out in a clean slice, put a hinge on it, and you have a really dead room that is perfectly shaped for your body. you could step in and...

    total silence . . . good or bad?

    chessrock, I'm not sure what it is made of, but I know its purpose would have been for sound absorption and not treatment. It is intended to be "sound proof", so that there would be no sound bleed from the inside out, and vice-versa. I also know it is extremely heavy because the person I was...

    total silence . . . good or bad?

    "well, if it is dead, it shouldnt sound like a little box. it might be decent for vocals, close in, intimate vocals. or maybe for screaming..." That was what I thought. I also thought it might work for accustic guitar. Wouldn't 6 and a half feet by 3 foot eight be enough for this as well?

    total silence . . . good or bad?

    I normally record in a bedroom sized room, and use blankets do deaden things a little. I have a chance to get a sound-proof isolation booth from a local hospital (they used it for hearing tests). It is 77 inches by 44 inches. I could get it real cheap (a few hundred Canadian). I would...
