now they just gotta link that up with the voter rolls, and BAM, back in business. "hey, looks like an [african american- actual term used deleted] is driving to a voting booth! quick, detain him!"

how much treatment can you do? can you go nuts? i would try the "take away the ceiling in a small room" ethan winer approach--- totally absorb the sound on the ceiling. that will make your room sound bigger. from there i would try just a hair of absorbing material here and there, to cut down...

i had a feeling that you were layering instruments on tracks... its quite an art doing this well. again, good job. well, what kind of music do i like? that might take a while, so let me start by telling you what your music reminds me of-- genre wise. i think you are actually better than any of...

its my old phone number, well, 503-eel-dip0. see who answers....

i would consider getting a pair of headphones and mixing with those untill you have $500+ to spend on a monitor upgrade. between a nice pair of headphones and your current speakers you could get some decent mixes. there are a few things to learn about mixing with headphones... but once you get...

three solutions come to mind... use a different mic: less sensitive, tighter pattern or whatnot. or as you said, try to throw some sort of sound absorbing material between your keyboard and your mic. this sounds like it might make playing the keyboard a bit constricting. or three: live with...

i would turn those vocals down (if you can) but other than that, i declare these recordings::::: good enough. excellent work. you have proved that skill beats gear. AND i am saying this even though i am not a fan of this kinda music AT ALL. which makes my compliments to your engineering even...

Re: Problem Solved sadly (i had this impression at first too), there is a lot more to recording well other than good gear. one big thing is that when you first start hearing yourself clean and clear, you get annoyed at the little things that got covered up before... the spitting sounds, the...

figure 8 is a very useful thing to have around for rejection purposes. also fun to do the "two vocalists at once" thing. and of course for stereo micing. personally i would the m-audio mics cause i think they look cooler. i mean visually. i like my mics to look cool. might just be me but...

it is no great secret that published reviews of mic are usually not that useful. i think the best method is to hang around boards for a while, try out a few mics, start understanding the special language, and find a few people that have taste and needs like yourself. there are a few people on...

never heard them, but i bet those are good enough for now. just remember to check your headphones- especially when dealing with the sub 70 hz zone which your monitors dont even touch. do you have any friends with any mics they could loan you? this is a good way to check to see if you are...

what i LIKE about 57s is that they make a snare sound fat and dull... so you might actually be on the right track. i generally get enough "skin" sound from the OH or room... and i use close mic snare track (if i use a 57) to bring the meat up in the snare. you might also want to compress the...

that is pretty well done for live distorted vocals... as you said, distorted by articulate. which is a pretty hard balance to strike. take, for example, something like this http://www.narnackrecords.com/mp3/nck7009.mp3 he uses telephone mics that he steals from thrift stores. distorted and...

i have an sx202 which i believe has about the same pre stage as the NON e 528s... the one you are looking at. as chessrock says... they are great on kick and snare-- if you use the right mics. the symetrix pres (especially post mod) are pretty on par with any old more expensive pre around...

which rolands?

now that i look at it again... it sure does look like a dildo. no denying it. most mics are at least a little phallic, but this one really really really really is.

testy testy... hes just trying to be funny. do you have a sound clip of what that mic sounds like? it could help...

depends on what you would consider a step up... you will be able to IMPROVE on your preamps in terms of linearity, frequency response, lack of distortion (or change of distortion to something more pleasing). but when you say "step" i think that implies whether your end recordings will realize...

i was imagining you sitting there with a mixer and a tape deck with all the mics set up and plugged into the mixer... hoping that somehow the outputs of the mixer would reach your tape deck... maybe pushing them closer and closer until they touched... and yet.. no sound. anyway, all my hosa...

but if it wasnt there you would have lost EVERY SINGLE TAKE. think of it that way. i have had hosa snakes, radio shack snakes, some serious behind the patch bay jade audio stuff goin on. luckily, never a failure. as i have been able to invest more in my studio, i have slowly replaced all this...
