I like recorderman and glynn johns, both seem to get me sort of similar results... however, I always rely on being able to mix in some close mics, especially on the kik and to a lesser extent, the snare. I never get enough thump (at least not enough for my liking) from from the kik with only...

I have aways thought of Audacity as more useful as a simple wave editor. Reaper is multi-tracking software. It depends on what you are looking for. I use both, well I use Wavelab now instead of Audacity, but I use ot for the same types of things... As far as price, functionality, ease of use...

calling the consoles "perfectly working" is probably stretching the truth in some cases.

keep us posted on how it turns out. I am kinda interested to hear the opinion on analog from somebody with experience in better digital stuff.

Did you mic the top and bottom or just the top? I have been screwing around with mic'ing the bottom as welll as the top and the difference can be dramatic. I tried a SDC on snare the last time I recorded, it really helped the snare cut through so I ended up using less EQ in the mix. So if you...

I could definitely help you out man. what kind of tape? my deck is set up for 456 or equivalent. I presume they are 15 IPS tapes? I use Reaper, but the wave files could be easily imported into any DAW software since they would all be exactly equal in length. EQ section in the Mackie Onyx mixer...

threatening legal action so as to compel the site administrator to remove the file is an option you might consider. actually going through with it is another story.

OK, interesting post there... so anyway, can you hook me up with those Nirvana multitracks or what??

hey I could do this!! as long as the tapes weren't recorded with noise reduction... I could even bake them if they are sticky shed. Maybe I could make a few bucks doing this on the side. What's a fair price? $20/hour? or should I charge per tape? Where could I advertise for a service like...

use drum replacement software, like drumagog. I'm not a huge fan of triggered drum sounds, but it comes in handy sometimes. for metal and double kik stuff, its almost essential if you want stuff to have that slick pro sound.

yeah, I dunno about the ONLY way either, but i do think cutting holes or removing/replacing the front heads will make your life 1000x easier and get you much better results. the only other thing I can think is to mic both the front and where the beater smacks the drum.

one man's "warm" is another man's "dull". What kind of stuff are you recording? Do a little more research and if you can, do some listening tests. for $800 you should be able to buy a damn good mic/pre combo. You can audition stuff from online retailers like musiciansfriend and send it...

is it still under warranty? I bought one of these and I was very disappointed in it so I sent it back. You can spend a few ducks and get it modded too. doesn't oktava mod offer sell a mod for these mics?

nevermind, I just noticed that my headphone inputs work mono if you only plug a signal into one side. problem solved!

maybe, I need 1/4" though.... rokket- yeah I have the manual, and I have read the section on aux busses. I think I know how to do it with aux busses, but I would need more channels on my snake and possibly a more sophisticated headphone amp??

so I want to provide two seperate monitor mixes from one headphone monitor feed with my Onyx 1620 mixer. I figure I can *maybe* accomplish this with some creative panning. For example, say I am recording two guitar players and a drummer simultaneously, each guitar player wants his own guitar in...

depends on how you play them too, and how busy the mix is. if the toms are not close mic'ed, good luck trying to get them to pop out of a busy mix. how do you set up the overheads? glyn johns set up might help, it will definitely pick up more of the floor tom than a typical x/y pair over the...

what's your budget blumedia? if you can spare the cash, go for the better format. pro tools HD, apogee converters- it sounds like you are used to some better gear, you might be disappointed in 16 tracks on 1/2".

there are 1/2" 16 track decks that run at 30 IPS? kinda surprised to hear that... have you considered 1/2" eight track? or is that not enough tracks for you?

why would you WANT your recording to sound like that? are you recording metal or something? do your drums sound bad? bad room? I suppose you could put the mics closer to the cymbals (may get phase-y though) or try pointing away from drums and more at the cymbals.
