reverb and eq will change the overall volume of a track. i put the reverb on first because it won't change things as dramatically in terms of volume as the eq will. that way you won't peak. the other reason is you want to eq your final sound for the track. reverb can add a lot of eq on its...

i think around 45 mintues is usually good. too much and some people get bored, even with the best music. i'm working on a project right now, and i'm trying to cut it down to 45 minutes. this way the bad songs get weeded out first, and the mediocre songs second, and you're left with the cream...

i did a search for info on the D112, Beta 52, ATM 25, and audix d6, but there wasn't much info on the sound differences. my price range is around $200. personally i like the kick to be a little more boomy than most would like, but most of the people i record like the tight heavy-metal sound...

bounce everything down to 16 bit 44.1. i'm not sure about winamps capabilities, but i know it can play that, and since 16/44.1 is cd audio you'll be able to burn it to cd. my guess is you bounced them at 24 bit and maybe 48khz. a cd can't handle these numbers and i don't think winamp can either.

you can record and monitor 18 tracks at once - if your computer can handle it (which almost any P4 with 512 RAM should be able to). the only problem is you may have to set the playback buffer a little high (maybe 512) so they'll be noticable latency - not too much, but it might bug you.

if i use protools stuff, is there anyway i could use this too?

to get a good guitar sound i have two methods...both require decent mics and pres (as do most things in recording). 1) x/y - 120 degrees for a wider stereo spread - using matched set of NT5's into an RNP 2) NTK into UA610 straight out from sound hole with the capsule at a 45 degree angle to...

the tried and true sm57 is one of my favorites. if you want an old 'woody' sort of sound it's pretty cool, and around $70.

get over it! i think we're all just jealous becuase we don't own macs. i have a pentium 4 2.26 ghz and it's plenty fast. my friend just bought a new mac (i don't know which one, it looks like the one in the add posted here), but it does seem to be faster than my computer for recording. so MY...

i guess you stuck up asses wouldn't call it 'mastering', but whatever that step we home recorders have done to the two stereo tracks after mixing is called sure makes it sound a lot better and loud. i know you guys don't like that word, but making a recording louder (compared to the mix volume...

i could not get the click out for a while, and just through mic placement i've been able to get rid of a lot...but i sorta like having a little of it there. it adds a good amount of attack and overall the sound is less processesed and more natural. for my ears it's more pleasing. too much...

cool. thanks. question answered.

besides, vocals (along with acoustic guitar) is one of the hardest things to record well. you'll spend a long time getting the sound you want and finding a way to get that sound into the mix without destroying the rest of the song. if you're only doing to vocals i recomend going to a studio...

yes! i love math and hate physics! and i also don't get the +4/-10 stuff. i have a balanced RNP and DMP3 (with balanced cables) running into protools. i set the line levels through the software. to keep the program from cliping i have them set below -10! shouldn't i be able to set them at...

i assume your computer is fast enough to handle it and not running XP - PT free does not like XP one bit. from my experience PT is a bit more taxing on the system than other programs (i.e cubase sx/vst, sonar, wavelab etc...). as far as not being able to bounce, i don't get that at all. try...

i like the NT-1 nice and bright. MK 319 dark and less detailed. sm57 midrangy and cheap. sm58 pretty close to the 57. of the three my favorite is the 57. but depending on what you want out of the vocals i also really like the other two. for well under $200 - maybe around $150 - you can get...

i tried to search for it, but is there any way to mount the rnc and the rnp in one rack unit to make a cool channel strip? i know they have those funk logic 2-rnc strips, but the rnp has those DI inserts on the front, so it might be harder to find a mounting kit.

true... i'll try. i don't really know where to put them up. i don't have a website yet. can i use mp3.com or some other service? and do they cost?

i don't use a mixer unless i really need more pres. usually i have enough stand alone pres. i think bypassing the mixer is the simplest way to go because it makes the signal chain extremely short (instrument-->pre-->recorder). with computers mixers are not essential. unless you have some way...

maybe the vocals aren't sitting well because of the mic. i use a 57 for background vocals, and it sounds great because they don't stand out front. for the lead vocals i usually use my NTK to give them their own space in the mix. i also agree that remixing may be the ticket.
