My experience with styrofoam (3/4 to 1 inch) leads me to believe, that while it has a slight decoupling effect with decreasing some strucutre born vibration, it does nothing for blocking anything significant in the way of mid to low frequencies.
I believe you will find only heavy mass does it...
I am not really familiar with many of the prices you mentioned but I do have some experience with the 990's.
They are extremely mediocre at best.
I have used one for recording flute, tinwhistle and violin.
Mainly because the customer came in with it and asked to be recorded with it to evaluate...
What are you using now for mic preamps?
I noticed the stuff you posted on the different "myspaces" is pretty decent.
Your equipment list does not mention any unless they are just built into the interfaces.
I am not familiar with either the ones you list.
I have a set of Pro M shallow shells that kick butt!
I use it for my live kit and have had nothing but compliments from folks particularly the sound guys.
Mine is transparent Black also.
I have a small Mapex Venus kit (18 inch kick,small toms) I use for coffe houses.
It also sounds great.
On the...
It is done fairly regularly.
Some things to consider are this.
If you live in a quiet are you may be good to go.
If the trailer is going to need extensive beef up of walls and ceilings to keep sound in/out you are most likey going to exceed the build strength of the trailer depending on how it...
Cool,
Yeah maybe a slight cut at around 330-400 hz on the vocal and possibly a slight boost around 5000hz will clear it up.
Good job.
Oh...this is a personal preference...but the bass guitar could come up a tad.
Not bad for just a capture of practice.
It sounds a little veiled and cloudy in the vocals.
Was it multitracked or just a live stereo take?
I enjoyed the song.
yes it will work.
As you noted the tracks will be mono recordings of each device, but you dont have to repatch.
if you don't play both at the same time you could record one at a time in stereo and repatch cables or get a small mixer and run several things things through that using the main left...
Well....
If you sound like a tin can...and your mic makes you sound like that....it is probably doing its job.
Ok...now that I have been a smart ass...
Most often the sound you describe is attributted to the room or space of which you are recording in.
It is possible since one mic is a dynamic...
I have a ton more absorbers on the walls and ceiling than you do and it is nowhere near sounding dead.
I have no flutter or ping and can get a a small amount of usable abmbience putting up mics about 20 to 30 feet away from the performers. I track live drums in there too so any bad echos would...
I feel your pain.
But having said that I am still running an Audio Dedicated computer that is an old Pentium 3 Win 98se unit and it works fine streaming 24-30 tracks of 24 bit 44.1
With newer operating systems I have heard (and not confirmed) that if it is using ASIO drivers that your audio...
I added a RME 9652 adat card to the computer, which gives me 24 channel I/O on ADAT lightpipe.
Then I bought a Lucid 9624 (both ad and da) I run through Spidf and (2) 8 channel RME ADI-8s.
I track through these and I added a ADA8000 for additional 8 channels playback.
That way I have 18 good...
Well when the 1010s first came out they had a word clock input, but most folks never used it. Most people were simply syncing multiple units together via spidf.
When folks (me) started mixing and matching other gear and started using the wordclock to sync different gear together, the Deltas...
Hey guys and gals, I have upgraded to some nicer converters and I have 2 Delta 1010s (full version) that have had the word clock upgrade.
I'd love to find them a new home. At least M-audio has been good about keeping current drivers for them.
They are in fine shape.
I figure that 1 is good...
I think that if I had to pick one singular mic that was good in general for both acoustic guitar and vocal I would get a used CAD E-100.
I actually prefer the neutral flavor it has on Acoustic Guitar and is my "go to" mic for it anyway. It does not have a hyped upper end so it works well on...
I tell you...even after reading several times, you have me confused.
Lets assume you correctly have your speakers set up.
Let's also assume you have the ability to record a true mono track.
If in your recording program you have the Delta1010 outputs 1 and 2 (not Delta monitor mixer) assigned to...
Pretty nice.
There is some background hiss that could be removed.
It is only noticeable because of the simple arrangement.
Over headphones the vocal is just a little too loud or forward to blend well.
Perhaps this is one of those times to not be really edgy on vocals if you want it that loud.
You know...there are many good budget solutions for overheads that won't break the bank.
But before I get ahead of myself see if it is indeed the mics or not, I hate to send you down the road of mic research...it can be a slippery slope!
I also had a situation come up once where the mic cables...
Halon451,
It could very well be the microphones are overloading.
I bought some omni small diaphram condensors that sounded wonderful until I started hitting hard or crashing and then they would crap out.
you never saw it on the meters because the mixer or converters were fine...just the mics...
