the lyrics are quite intelligent, and the singer attempts to be somewhat understandible at times.. for example, in the midle part where it is just the vocals, he says: And as the humans scattered, the spirits they did grin... monolithic structures crushed to scattered rubble... "Unleash the...

thats really weird, I didnt really do much at all as far as cutting frequencies, I did slap on some EQ to each track to try to help mold the sounds into what I wanted, maybe I shouldnt mess with the EQ if the sound is ok? Maybe I will try another mixdown with no EQ... i will post up another...

I recorded my first band about a week ago, I spent 13 hours straight recording them (from 4:30 in the afternoon to 5:30 the next morning) and here is what its composed of Drumkit with triggered kick drum, direct in Bass guitar, rhythm and lead guitar, vocals, and keyboard (nothing is double...

hmm, ok well let me put it this way, i have a college kid budget, so the best dynamic mic i have is a Sm57, and the best i have availiable is a mesa boogie with a peavy head. would I get better tones using the amp or getting a modeler?

Anyone know of a good amp modeler? I dont care about acheiving a specific amp's tone, like the fender twin blazer 120443 with the 20foot cabinet and cloth grille! I just want an amp mod software that has a lot of variables to mess with so that I can just find a tone I like. any ideas?

Yes, I got it now, thanks a lot! I understand, the preamps purpose isnt to color the sound as much as it is to actually make the sound... so you have to have a pre to bring up the level to loud enough for the audio interface to "hear" it and record it. yeah, I guess re-amping for pres wont...

what about with more dynamic things like vocals and drums where it can be super quiet to really loud? just try to get as close to the average being -18? or would you have the singer go as loud as he/she is going to go, and then adjust their loudest to -18?

what is a good method of figuring out if you are recording at a good level or too hot? if a guitar, maybe just playing a nice long power chord and adjust the preamp volume until it levels out at -18 on the PC? would you do a similar thing with a keyboard, just hold out a nice common (to your...

excellent, this is precisely the answer I needed. It is unfortunate that you cannot reamp mic recordings (then one could literally use a single preamp for everything...) but thats ok. SO i assume Guitar re-amping is completely different because first of all, the signal is boosted to line...

well, you are recording the mic unamped, so you get the raw sound of the mic unamplified, then you play that unamped signal through the mic amp as if it were just being played. so its just like reamping a guitar but with mics instead... is that not posible?

in more words can you explain why? haha does the problem lie in recording unamplified signals? or in routing the unamplified signals through the mic pre afterwards? i would think that this would work similar to reamping an unamplified guitar track, only you replace the guitar with a microphone...

Ok, just a theoretical situation, please let me know if this is possible.. say I have one super expensive preamp with only one channel, but I want to record a whole drum kit with say 8 mics total. I dont have the ability to amp each mic with its own individual preamp (just got one) and I do...

is that a bad thing? cause I can either run my monitors directly from my delta's breakout box and use the software volume, or i can run them through my HP4 headphone amp and control the volume through that..

What are the benefits of an analog knob for Studio Monitors volume over the computers soundcards digital volume sliders?

For any of you who have heard the band "ulver" the first song on the album "Perdition City" called Lost in moments has this hip hoppy electronica like beat, but the thing I am curious about is the snare and the bass drum both seem SUPER punchy, when i hear them i think of them as these tight...

hmm so now im curious, when i take a single guitar track and duplicate it, and then pann both of those seperate tracks the complete opposite (hard left and hard right) it still sounds like its coming from the center at the exact same volume.. i did this by splitting a continuous song down the...

right, I understand that... but isnt the panning scale supposed to give you a visual representation of where the sound should "sound" like its coming from? like if you pan it center, it sounds like its centere, if you pann it 50% left, it sounds 50% left.. I ambeginning to think that maybe...

ok, i understand, i hadnt thought of that............. but my question still stands, if you "pan" something 40 to the left, where is the closest you can pan a seperate sound before it overlaps? or is it dependand on the sound?

...so is there an answer for my question? are you saying that the sound extends outward in both directions beyond one degree? or are you saying that all of the amplitude for a sound is contained within a single degree? so if you took 100 seperate sounds, and panned them each to a different...

say (on a 100 point scale) 40 degrees to the left, is ALL of that sound wave going to be contained within the space between 39 and 41? or is 40 where the center of a wider sound goes? for instance, if you have a mono track at 0 and its sounds extends 3 degrees both direction (so its audible...
