Thanks for your replys. Radio? I seriously doubt that. The track has actually come up quite well. When I posted this, I was unsure if I was even in the ball park of a "good" recording but since then I have added effects and sounds quite "live" and natural in the mix. Again, I'm really thrown...

Yup. My Blues Jr has a bit of buzz, but I think more from the lighting effecting my guitar pickups when it's plugged in I think. Being a relatively new gear slut I assumed all amps would buzz to some degree but reading above, aparrently not. Plug your guitar in. Does the buzz effect you when...

Amp - Close,Room and Blend by Fusionman on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free Hi all, Edit: I think the subject is a bit misleading in retrospect. Really I want general feedback on this sound, rather than comments on the amount of blend. I have supplied three samples...

Thanks for your comment. Yeah, good idea for the amp / cab separation. I've actually been thinking about doing this cause I'm sick of the "rattle" I get from my combo, but that's another story. Incidentally, does the lead that joins the amp and cab draw a lot of noise? Is that a problem for you...

Why? Simply because I've worked hard to get a great guitar sound but am always disappointed to hear the recorded result. It just loses that 'magic' when it gets mic'd up. I've heard and read about the stereo mic thing earlier this year (was it Allan parsons? ) and just want to try it since I...

Hi all, Yes I want to Stereo mic my guitar amp. I've been close mic'ing with a SM57 and blending it with a room mic (Rode NT1A). I have two LDCs and I want to try the stereo thing. No, the LDCs are not matched. They're not even the same brand! I just want to try it out. Can anybody give me a...

Yep. Agreed to all of the above. Another factor to add to the above would be to do with the mic'ing option. For me personally, choosing to mic my piano would come with caveat that I don't trust I'd have the skills to get a good sound straight off - it may take some time/experimentation, time...

Yeah, much thanks Jimmy. Right, or wrong method, It's the info I was after. Cheers, FM

Newsflash - idiot discovers Pre-fader button in Cubase! Yep, I got it now. Can fade to zero the original signal and have only the effected signal. Cool. Now, is this the right way to do what I'm doing? Cheers, FM

This is the bit I was missing. So effectively, the fader for this group of vocals will not be the group track any more, but the effects chain fader? Why do I want this? Well, I was going to add a small amount of compression and run it though my Line6 vocal Pre-amp plugin. I can see why I would...

Hey there. I'll try by asking you another question. If you wanted to apply 100% of the same flanger effect on 5 tracks, and have zero "non_flanger" signal from any of the 5, how would you do this? Cheers, FM

Hi guys, I'm just confused again - to the point to where I have to bother you all :mad: Goal is minimum CPU usage and efficiency of effects use - apply effects to multiple backup tracks. I got 2 group of backup vocals with 5 parts each (doing a Queen cover, so no surprise there). So, just...

Hey dude. Yeah, I've been trying to nut out nice sounding vocals for a while too. I've been trying to make the cleanest vocal recording, with good level, into a vocal mic (Rode NT1A) and my best efforts still seem to sound flat and lifeless compared to any recording you point at. I always have...

Right. Looks like mic position then. Cheers, FM

Hey guys, Do you notice that there is a lot more treble in "real" music? I recorded my acoustic guitar through a condenser mic yesterday. Good clean recording, good level. Now, my acoustic has a fairly bright sound compared to other guitars but compared to most professional recordings is has...

Hehehehe, awesome thread. Can I play? If I get time, I'll whip something up. Great effort posting the backing :~) FM

Soundcard is a USB EMU 0404. Mic plugged directly into here. So it's Mic -> EMU -> Cubase. Did I discover a preferred mic position? I have one, and I'll stick with it - just off the centre of the cone, off axis @ 45 degrees. This will be my starting point anyway. Now I know what to do with the...

Yep, I use the KRKs 6's. Yes, I chose the 6's over the 5's because the 5's definitely lacked something. But also I didn't feel as though the 8's were any more benefit (to me). Avoiding recommending them *just* 'cause I own some, I haven't had any problem with them and I think they'll do a great...

No chance! The little guy has gone to god - too much bitching about it's distracting nature :p No, no ribbon mic. Only two mics in my cheap-ass studio. SM57, and a Rode NT1a (LDC) I've had the Rode all around the (treated) room and although I wouldn't know a good room sound if I heard it, it...

Alright with the avatar! It's gone!!!!!!!!
