If there are no micrphones involved and you are not listening to speakers in the room...the room acoustics wont matter.
The room only matters if it is going to flavor what you hear or the microphones hear.
There are several things you can do, one being the sugestion you made.
Another option is to simply duplicate or make several copies of the kick track and process them different to build the sound you want.
You may take one of duped tracks and roll off the top end and some of the really low...
td,
to be honest..a preamp and a compressor are 2 totally different things.
Although there are companies that sell"channel Strips" or combination Preamp/EQ/Compressors, the basic preamp is for amplifying a weak microphone or other lowlevel signal to line level.
But to get back to your question...
Often mixing that way you have to be very careful of the gain staging of the signal coming from the interface into the mixer as well as the signal from your mixer into the computer.
Some interfaces have the ability to operate at different signal strengths (+4,-10).
you can try out the different...
i think that you would want to use a complimentary mic that was not really bright, and give ti some distance between it and the guitar much like you would a violin.
the sound you want to capture comes form several directions and putting it close to the front will only yiels a small, thin and...
I have to admit, that if the source is not in the same room with me where there is an issue of hearing the monitors, what ever I hear in the monitors while recording, is exactly the same thing I hear when the unaffected raw tracks are played back.....
I definately think so.
What is nice is you can put them around vocalists to tame room reverb and reflections, or acoustic guitar... I made some (not round) that I use, so that I end up recording most everything in the bigger romm and can tame the room from lively to nearly dead just by bringing...
They are generically called Gobos a short name for "go betweens"
That tubular variety is just one of many. Typically they are a compressed fibreglass tube that has been filled with more fibreglass and then covered with cloth.
They are used to absorb slap back echo but also tobreak up the...
First off let me say it is a good sound..
It may not be what you were originally looking for but I think it is a good starting point.
You honestly need to hear it in context of a SONG before making a final judgement.
But having said that I could anticipate if you had any issues with it, it...
Also realise that you often may make different choices depending on if you are treating a tracking room or a mixing room.
As was said, the main thing in a tracking room is you don't want untreated opposing surfaces, while in a mixing room you will want symmetry around the mix position including...

Hey Guys,
I need to add a new person to the list.
Keith, (keithersgsx2003) just sent me a mixer that is his part of a trade.
It came quick and well packed and was exactly as described if not better.
Through our emails he kept constant touch and did exactly as he said...
It sounds pretty nice, there is a lot of room sound in it.
if you want a warmer sound with more tom low end you may experiment with different Overhead styles of placement.
How did you set up your overheads?
Yeah definately a good deal on really decent quality stuff.
The fact it has adat I/O opens the door for future expansion too.
If the Rane pres are anything like their past offerings you will be happy.
another thing you can do is wire up a small box with xlr in / out and a 1/4 inch trs jack breaking the link between.
Then go get a cheap keyboard momentatary pedal like a sustain pedal and plug it in.
Throw the pedal on the floor and step on it when you want to talk.
It works great live too on...
Scoop,
After you have recorded the mixdown stereo track bring it up (solo'd) to the same volume level of what you were listening to during mixdown.
If it sounds noticeable less in fidelity it is the converters.(or something like cables causing degradation in the signal path)
If you are listening...
Then I repeat it could simply be a broken solder joint at the xlr receptacle.
It is simple enough to open up and check, or since it is brand new and under warranty, return it for warranty repair.
what Zeppe said.
switch the mic to different channels and different cables to eliminate anything other than the mic.
It could be as simple as a bad solder joint at the xlr socket of the mic.
Since you mentioned it is a CAD, but not what model.
The E-Series have a 9 volt rechargeable battery...
I have 4 of the ACMP 73s I got in the buy, and would consider a few more.
What would you be interested to trade for?
i have rack mount mixers, a couple of Delta 1010s etc....
