If you want a stereo sound out of a mono track, go with 2 mics and pan them. The copy/paste/shift thing sounds way to out of phase. You might be able to use a plugin like PhaseBug (http://www.betabugsaudio.com/plugs.php all the way at the bottom) to get them in phase, but then it kind of...

Is that snare gated? It's very boxy sounding.

Oh. I see. Well I never tried it. I just saw it floating around the internet. Hahaha. But I imagine if you do it right it won't look terrible.

Which is why I bought it. :D But seriously, these guys really care about making an insanely awesome DAW. I would advise you wait to get version 4 though. It's in its alpha state right now, but so far it looks reaaaaallllyyy good.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is common or not, but I found an easy way to make a clean hole in a kick drum's resonant head. Basically, you find an aluminum can the size you want the hole to be, then empty it (obviously). After that, heat the rim of the can on the stove. Pick it up with oven...

Just another tip because I noticed this thread, I suggest you use Reaper as your DAW. It's much better than Audacity, it's free to try for as long as you like. The only difference between the trial and the paid version is that the trial version makes you wait 5 seconds before you start...

Well as of right now it's working better. I know what to do with it, and what not to do with it. I read the manual several times. Nothing seemed to help. It doesn't click when I'm using my DAW. It does it whenever I refresh a page on the internet, or click play on a youtube video. It seems...

Hmmm... Two possibilities. Zoom into the clip. You might see a little fade out swoop at the end. Drag that to the right so it's not there. Another thing you can do is zoom in and trim the end. Do this while holding shift to disable snap to grid. Hope this helps.

Listening on cans right now, so I can't really make great judgements, but I think song would sound pretty cool with that Nirvana effect on the drums. Most of their "In Utero" stuff has it. It kind of sounds like a slap back delay. Sounds great!

Alright, I'll get right on that. :D

Anyway, I have a similar question. I don't have monitor stands, so would it be in my best interest to tilt them back so they line up with my ears?

Pun intended. Hahaha

Guitar and bass sounds good, but the drums are way to weak. They should come up overall, and the snare needs more punch. How many mics did you use?

Hmm... I might look into that myself. What does that do to the room's sound though?

Another one for Reaper right here.

Bump. Just in case anyone cares.

Lots of egg shell cartons. They are the best! All sarcasm aside, you might be able to get away with foam board for cheap, then just layer them a lot. Also put down some thick blankets for the floor. This is really not the best way of soundproofing, but it is cheap. This place has good...

Symmetry guy here. Normally I do two tracks of the same settings, then two tracks of a different setting. I pan the 1st two 100, then the next two 50-80

Alright cool. Thanks for the tips. I live near a pawn shop style music store, so maybe I'll head down there and look for a deal.

That's probably why I have gotten the wrong impression on these mics. Youtube videos make them sound like shit, but then again, the drums were probably mixed by someone who thinks boosting everything 20db at 12k sounds "cool." I think I'll give those mics a shot then. Maybe I should get a...
