I have earned my living playing for 50+ years and still do maybe 300 gigs a year ( on hiatus at the moment of course but they'll be back soon ). Playing live is what I live for so recording, which I have also done for that 50 years is for fun. Very many of my recordings are only heard by me...

That's actually several questions in one so I'm gonna go for the history part of it "how did the scales come to be and who did it?" ............ 35 year piano tuner talking here An awful lot of this stuff directly ties to J. S. Bach. Prior to him they didn't even use even tempered tuning so...

No way that vocal is too loud ..... and, as Talisman pointed out. way too much delay/verb ....... that's really all I'm hearing of the vox .... the vocal needs to be much more present. On Hendrix's recordings pretty much all of them have his vocals really present. Nice job on the tracks though...

I remember years ago when I bought a Mackie mixer one of the cautions in the manual was to have phantom power off when plugging or unplugging cables because, if I remember correctly, the sudden surge (which we know happens because there wouldn't be a loud pop if it didn't) can, over time, damage...

I may have been thinking about many. MANY different things that have input gain AND out levels .... haven't used the Scarlett .... so I didn't fucking know dudes . Now I remember the snotty replies that run people away from this place. See ya'll in another year or two

It actually doesn't matter where the gain needs to be set to avoid clipping as long as the output is enough to record with. There's no rule like "Gain should always be halfway up, or a quarter up or even all the way up. You set the gain to have no clipping and then set the output to have enough...

I always follow these threads because I have several reel to reels that I'm gonna be fixing soon but rarely comment because I know little. HOWEVER ..... I simply had to comment on what a great user name gobbltygoop is ..... I use that term ALL the time.

:D:laughings:

I never oil my fretboards ..... I change strings when the intonation goes bad which is usually before they get rusty or rough. I gig nightly though, so that's prolly a factor. I'll also change strings when one breaks ..... I usually get a couple of weeks out of a set of strings.

please ...... I see this warning all the time as if you're doomed to die if you do that. back in the day (60's and into the 70's) many amps just didn't have grounds at all and we got shocked so often that it was common practice to touch the git strings to the mic stand and look for sparks or...

is the amp plugged into the same outlet as the mixer? If not then do so. Sometimes that alone can fix the problem.

I'm a big fan of EV mics Rocky Mountain Slides Salidan Middy Ceramic Guitar Slide | Musician's Friend EDIT: Don't know why it says ceramin slides .... it's a mic ... I swear! :D Basically ALL I do is live .... 240-300 gigs a year. The SM58 is indeed an industry standard and is a perfectly fine...

on some of those things, like my Fostex MR8, deleting files does not free up space .... you have to actually reformat the drive ..... so if you're willing to completely wipe it, then simply reformat the drive.

you said the first act was very late so if they have to deal with a drummer setting up it's on them and not the drummer ..... the first act was the one being unprofessional by being very late. I mean, I don't care, everything about all my gigs is always professional and on-time ...... I never...

if he has any sense he'll just look at it as a satisfactory reason to buy a new mic. That's what I'd do

agreed ..... kick pverpowers the guitar

yep ...... I'll use a 'click' like say, 2 drum sticks hitting each other .... a nice short duration that makes it easy to align.

that's what I would do ..... I use a Tascam DR-05 ($100) and get excellent recordings of gigs all the time. Fact is, dealing with a bunch of mics is very distracting and would likely interfere with your playing and enjoyment.

some nice music there man .... good vox on them too.

no .... you would do it as you mixed. pinging down adds more noise
