Here's something I just recently tried and am very happy with...
Take the amplifier and point it towards a corner in your room, with both sides of the amp touching each opposing wall. Place the mic BEHIND the amp, maybe a foot above it pointing down at a 45 degree angel.
I tried this using...
Need some opinions (and I know there's no shortage of THOSE here) on ALTO products, more specifically, compressors/limiters.
I'm looking into buying something SOON. And SURPRISE! SURPRISE!, I'm on a tight budget. I've got to cover at least 4 channels. If ALTO sucks, then please, show me...
I've got a couple of SM57s (all of which I have tried), 2 AKG C460s, a Shure PG57, an SM58 and 2 Sennheiser E604s.
I've literally tried them all. The 57 sounds best. I really think it's a recording issue.
Should I maybe breakdown and look into an off-board pre-amp, maybe perhaps a...
I don't have any clips at my disposal, I'm at the office.
How's this...?
Recorded Clean = Intro to RHCP's "Under the Bridge"
Recorded OD = Listening to any guitar part off of Husker Du's "New Day Rising" LP in a 79 Volvo through stock speakers with the bass turned up to 10.
It sounds BAD.
It sounds great out of the amp. I suppose I could/should experiment with mic placement.
I already figured that if I had to switch between clean and OD I'd probably end up having to do seperate tracks.
I'm working in a very small home studio and am not using monitors, only headphones. It's...
What am I doing wrong?
Why is it that when I'm recording guitar it sounds great clean but as soon as I hit the overdrive, no matter how good it sounds to my ears, the recorded results sound HORRIBLE??!!
Set up: Epiphone Casino-->Blackstone Appliances OD-->'76 Fender Twin, mic'ed with an SM57...
I'm at work right now, so I can't check to be sure, but I think I went into VST Inputs and enabled all of the Delta inputs. And then I wasn't getting any signal on ANY of the inputs. Should it be set to 8 mono? Sorry I can't be more specific at this time...
I just upgraded my recording system recently. I purchased an M Audio Delta 1010 and Cubase SX 2. I installed both the Delta 1010 and Cubase with no problems. What I seem to be having problems with is assigning recording tracks in Cubase to specific inputs on the 1010. Any help is greatly...
I'm trying to record drums in Nuendo. I have 6 mics on the kit going into channels 1-6 on a Mackie 1604. From the 1604 inserts, I'm going into inputs 1-6 on the Delta. When I record, tracks 1 & 2 (left and right overhead) are fine, but tracks 3-6 are recording EVERYTHING (i.e. tracks 1-6 are...
