an idiot is an idiot. There are plenty of players out there that are in-the-pocket without knowing squat about theory.

Things we need to know: 1) Do you have a computer? 2) What do you have as far as mics, mixer, etc...? 3) What kind of budget are we talking? 4) What are you trying to achieve? (recording your own music with a few instruments or recording a full on band) I would spend loads of time reading and...

wow, po-boy DIY. Go to a fleamarket and get a tape recorder.

just doing the cosmetics? No recapping or retubing?

Dont squash the hell out of it or your spoken word will be sleeeeepy. I would compress enough to tame but not go overboard. You still want it to breath.

Why not just copy and paste? It will sound like garbage either way but at least you won't have to drag out another mic and stand.:D

Your going to open a can of worms with that statement. Why recorded the same take with two mics on a guitar amp? I don't understand how this equals good. Thicker tone or making it louder?

You go ahead and kill the natural freq. of the guitar. I bet a box of chocolates if your cutting mids your raw guitar track is crap in the first place.

Do not cut any mids on guitars in the mixing stage. I tend to boost just a little and I mean a little. As others have mentioned track multiple takes for the same guitar piece. I would also add to that a say use different amps for each take if multiple amps are avail. Pan those multiple takes...

There is one way to fix it in the mix. Turn the fader all the way down! :laughings:

I suspect this as well. I have heard this phenom before and it was a cd burning problem.

A cluster f@#$ is what your trying to say. Another good point not to crowd the mix with a bunch of garbage. "Like dude....lets set up every mic we have to record the acoustic guitar bit....and then we can pan them at every point on the stereo spectrum"

Cubase is dope. I use it. I would start with the device setup. Then learn how to link software channels to harware channels. Then crank your mic pre gain to to 0 digital db!*******JUST KIDDING******

Bon Iver is a good example of what you can do yourself and sound great. I know he done a ton of vocal layering on his album and the only mic he had was an SM57. For the type of music he does, the recording methods he used worked. Mic positioning on the acoutic is quite tricky. I heard...

what he said. The problem lis in the control panel of the device. Either the driver or the monitor type.

You mention the word bounce. Are you mixing mutilple mixes? Or is there just one mix down? Typically your mix down level should be around -12 digital , and then using some sort of leveling device to bring it up to normal cd listening volume, but depending on the type of leveling device will...

From what i have seen, you have to all most spend 500.00 a channel to really hear a difference. I have heard people say the truesystems p solo's are a great drum pre. And I mentioned the focusrie ISA series. Don't get me wrong you can get very usable tracks that sound fine with a m audio...

From my experience, fake drums or loops usually don't need much at all as far as comp or anything. Especially when there are mic recorded tracks in the mix.

If you plan on keeping the roland and using it I wouldn't buy a mixer. I think you have the right idea about the mic pre's but to make it worth while your going to have to look at something different than mixer pre's. Something that comes to mind for four channels in one rack (for drums) is...
