    Tricks and secrets of recording on a four-track

    thank you man! i'm currently recording on a yamaha mt400, prior to that i had the mt1x, which sounded kinda better, even though it was older. i have a 3340s that i still havent started recording on yet. i don't think there's any DBX NOISE REDUCER ON THAT ONE so i wont be messing around with that.

    Tricks and secrets of recording on a four-track

    Have you listened to some of the tracks I posted on here? I'm essentially trying to recreate the sound of artists like White Fence, who recorded on a 424. If you haven't checked him out, look up the album Cyclops Reap. That is the sound that I'm going for, and i've found that recording with the...

    Tricks and secrets of recording on a four-track

    ^ I get where you are coming from, but this thread is for achieving "alternate" sounds that people don't usually know of. There's even people putting tape plugins on their songs to make it sound "lo-fi". You don't enjoy the sound tape hiss and that's fine, but there's alot of music out there...

    A Simple Drum Solution?

    i heard that White Fence (tim presley) used to sample some simple drum tracks from songs and used them in his own. when i didn't have an acoustic drum, i used the drum presets on my cheap casio keyboard and it sounded pretty good through an amp with effects. depends on what sound you want, but...

    Techniques You Use to Break a Creative Block

    when i have a block, i'll usually just start writing poetry and see what comes out of it - what is singable and what isn't. if that doesn't work, i listen to songs that i like and try to get inspired by its subject.

    I could use some help with my drum tracks

    how close is your cymbal to your snare? i would try putting the cymbal further away from those mics (i know you said that you set them high, but maybe you could try moving them away from the drum set) you could also reduce the high frequencies from your toms as they need it less than the snare.

    How do I get my song to sound more “real”?

    as said before, i think panning guitars is really important if you want a fuller/realler sound. I would also up the mid frequencies on those guitars, to make them "pop" a bit more in your mix. otherwise the track doesnt a sound bad at all.

    How good a guitar do I need?

    i'm one to think that guitars don't matter as long as you can find a good guitar sound with the amp that you have. alot of music is made with cheap guitars, it's just how you set up your sound. but if i can recommend, my first electric guitar is a godin sdxt. i still have it and use it to this...
