Yep. It's all about the source sound.

I hope the kick tuning goes well. I always have trouble tuning that drum. The other 2 mic sets are both SDC's and they sound pretty good. You can even try the ultra cheap overheads from CAD. CAD CM217 Condenser Mic - Buy One, Get One FREE!!! and more Condenser Microphones at...

Ahhh Heatmiser's movin' up in the world. :D I am no Rami, Greg, or Dewhitt when it comes to drums, but I know the basics from reading a whole shitload on it. For the resonance, is the kick muffled at all? If not just shove a towel in the drum and rest it against the beater and resonant head...

Is there anywhere I can hear the original? I can't tell if this is punked up by you or not. Sounds good!

Yep. I'm thinking about starting a collab around here. That way I can still play and mix, but I don't have to worry about writing anything just yet. I also get inspiration from the people I'm playing with.

That sounds cool, but quite frankly I don't care that much. :laughings: I would rather write from pure inspiration. Plus, I don't believe there is anything around where I live that I can do. Thanks for the suggestion though. I do that all the time and it's just not doing it for me now...

I was really hoping you would post here. I find your novella-length posts very motivating and uplifting. It's always a pleasure to read what you have to say. I have gone through periods of writers block and breaking through that "wall." The problem is that was years back and I've developed a...

Hahaha that would definitely inspire me to break my dad's nose. xD That's not a bad idea though. Thanks!

Sigh. Lately I've had a nasty case of writers block and discouragement. I feel like no matter how hard I try, I can't get the sounds I want. The thought of this makes me want to throw my guitars out the window and start over. Is there any cure to getting over this feeling? I've tried...

Ha! You remember the songs I did. I need more recordings up. Those are ancient and I've gotten a lot better at singing since then. :laughings: Anyway, I think the sound actually just got old. Even there they have a kind of sub-frequency feel. I prefer more of that "fender bass twang" in...

Oh yeah, I try to get the best sound I can from the source. My bass has only 1 volume and 1 tone that adjusts brightness. There is no low cut on my interface, so that is as good as that source gets. Then again, I don't like the bass, so I'm aware I can't "polish a turd." Never said that was a...

Yeah, I know. By the way, I D.I. so that may be a problem itself. I know you can't polish a turd. I've been recording long enough to know all of the regular recording phrases. :D Thanks for the input though.

Aha! So it wasn't just me! I kind of knew it all along, but I was getting skeptical. Haha thanks.

:p:p:p:p:p

Shut up. :D Your recordings are perfect! I remember doing the mixing contest and thinking "wow, it's already 3/4's mixed!"

Yeah, I didn't really mean everything. I just wanted to know if that was something people have to fix or not, or if it's just due to my crappy bass. Maybe a little of both.

Let me rephrase... Do you guys normally high-pass the bass? That seems to be my problem area. Getting a good bass tone is hard for me lately.

Hey guys, I've been having sort of a problem lately... It seems that whatever I record there is always so much low end on it. It's not really a low "boost," but sub frequencies are there. I compare my mixes to professional mixes, and it sounds like they have enough low end, but not so much...

Hey, I'm not sure if you're still using this website, but I would like to get permission to cover Benjamin Watson for Greg_L's recording contest in the mixing clinic. Whadya say?

I was thinking the same thing. I scroll down and click blindly. That's how I got here this morning. :D
