Hey Mr Silent One, It really depends what's bugging you about the sound. If the volume levels are all over the place, then use compression. If your voice sounds too close to you, or sounds like you were singing in a small closet, then try adding some reverb. And remember, less is more. If you...

cats, gas, drunks, this thread has it all this is a great thread. I seem to be in the same predicament as distortedrumble, lots of traffic. yes, choppers pulling out of the bar 2 units over... also, I live on Archer Ave. in Chicago which is known as a "cruising zone". that means losers...

hey mmistudent, you mean slapback echo on In Utero? From what I understand Albini used no delay/verb on the drums, just a whole bunch of mikes in the drum room. It's the same thing he did on a Breaders record and something similar on Chevelle's Point #1. Okay, so I've read "Come as You Are"...

That was the first track that I fell in love with on that album. But, is it just me or does it sound almost too complex to play. How the hell does he hit all those toms and still keep the crash going??? I think Grohl is an amazing drummer, like S.C.U.D. said listening to Nirvana without Dave...

let's see, what fxs do I use when i mix? compression, reverb, EQ, chorus, flanger, phaser, my anechoic chamber, what are you trying to accomplish in your mix? if you are just looking for stuff to try, then I'll give you some ideas using the plugins that come with Cool Edit. Bass guitar: try...

audioguy111, how 'bout some info about you... location? are you willing to move? are you looking for a Bachelors Degree or just some tech training?

good job. like the second mix way better, drums are way better. i second the opinion to ditch the drums except for the chorus.

I got the idea that Pete was doing his own sound duties. My only point in the statement i made was that not every setup that works when recording will have the same results live.

that's a good thread seems more recording based and we are talking about live sound and the demon known as feedback. you're gonna get better results with a cardioid or hypercardioid mic placed real close to the mouthhole (probably wrong term). there's got to be something you can do with a...

these les pauls look pretty cool to me http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=040216114609206069212105896510/g=guitar/g=guitar/search/bigpid/base_id/110648/ looks like a lot of the 7 string are way reduced since the whole limp bizkit thing died down. thank god for that!

seven string guitars take some getting used to, they seem easy when you are sitting down, then you stand up and holy sh*t this neck is huge! that's how korn came up with the whole hunched over look, it was out of neccessity. 8 string guitars, at least the ones i've seen are used mostly in jazz...

pretty good mix. the acoustic guit sounds sweet. i noticed two things. 1. needs more vocal, unless you are going for an indie sound 2. the percussion sounds like it's in the next room. maybe bring up the level and use less reverb. i realize it's not a percussion driven song, so if you want to...

is G low enough for you? the guitarist from Deftones goes down to G on a baritone guit, that's a whole step below korn's A tuning on their 7 strings. i have a good ole $80 strat, and i've gone down to C# with no problems, but these guys are right, you've gotta beef up those strings! if you...

what kind of mic are you using? only condenser mics need phantom power. does the mic have a pad? it might be switched on. is there a dial to adjust the gain? give that thing a tweak.

phase correction? WTF?

what do those things really do anyways? is it just adding low end and high end EQ? is it adding harmonics? compression? what the heck is inside that box! i noticed they have ones specifically for guit and bass i'm sure they are a waste of money, but people buy them!

hey kev, is it your opinion that seargent pepper's sucked or was it billy's? cause i gotta disagree, SP rocked the world.

i think you are right, the limit will be one minute. for a stereo mixdown, whatever soundcard that came with the computer will work, if you decide you want to do multichannel recording on your PC, you will want to look into a new card. but i'm still using my stock card until i can afford a new...

it's not that you have to keep the faders at zero, here's a better explanation. the trim is like the rough setting, then the fader kinda fine tunes the gain. so if the fader is at zero, it's not adding or subtracting from the gain. so feel free to play with the faders, but if you crank your...

forgot about mixing down to PC, sorry you'll need RCA cables and an adapter to go from RCA to 1/8" stereo plug to connect to the soundcard. you'll need some sort of program to record it to, although you could just use the Windows Sound Recorder if you wanted to, but that is REALLY basic. anybody...
