    Recommend a nice rack reverb

    It's not analog, but I have a TC Electronic M300 dual-engine processor. It has reverbs, delays, chorus, flange, etc. The price was right (about $300?) and, hey.... it's TC Electronic, so you know it's at least on the good side of decent. CT

    Behringer and the hits keep coming...

    We did our album through a certain amount of Behringer gear. 80% of the tracks were recorded through the UB2442-FX PRO mixer, with the other 20% (lead vocals) going through tube pre. All guitar solos done with a V-amp, including the feedback during the intro of Unsaid. Drum overheads -...

    First song from our album - tentatively done?

    Hey Doug; Thanks for checking in and listening!! How've ya been? I'll try out your suggestion. I guess I resolved my "sort of thin" bottom end. Chris

    First song from our album - tentatively done?

    Okay.... killed practically all the EQ that existed in the track and that really seemed to open up the guitars. Raised kick drum a bit and nudged up the lead vox a wee bit. I *think* I solved it. Hopefully I haven't added to the harshness that was alluded to. Thoughts? Chris

    First song from our album - tentatively done?

    I know what you're getting at, and my room could surely use some work. It's not bad, though. AFAIK, though, nearfield monitors with 6" drivers (Yorkville YSM1's) will never reproduce lower frequencies as fully as conventional stereo speakers. Part of the solution there, too, is continuing to...

    First song from our album - tentatively done?

    Hey folks; Thanks a lot for the listen and the input. I think my dillemma is becomming apparent. I've compressed the bass - not that much - and put a dip with modest bandwidth (Q=0.5-ish) right around 250. Nothing in the bass is boosted. My fear is that if I cut further, that my "somewhat...

    First song from our album - tentatively done?

    Okay.... here is what I've wound up with. I think it is a lot better than the first version which appears in the mp3 player on our site at www.now-here-this.com, which got some pretty honest criticisms. I've used a lot of the suggestions given so far. Thanks for those. It's still not perfect -...

    question about singing

    Tension = bad. End of story. If you are doing what he is telling you to do, and you are getting tension where you never had it before, find another teacher. Tension -> nodes. Bad, bad, bad.... Singing - in any genre - should be relaxed if you want to avoid damage. Chris

    Am I the ONLY one?????

    Funny, though.... the two songs pitched around in this thread are Photograph and Animal. Def Leppard had songs by those titles too. Just an observation... Chris

    Am I the ONLY one?????

    I liked them up to and including Silver Side Up. Lately, they seem to have run out of ideas, so are re-hashing old ones, (hey, it worked for AC/DC for the past 20 years... and I love AC/DC), or coming up with bad ones. They're good solid musicians; they have a good sound; they can sing, and...

    thoughts on this French translation?

    Or is this one better? Tu as les bons vêtements, copain, et tes cheveux sont toujours bien coiffé Tu as une belle Camaro montée et tu fais la fête toute la nuit C’est comme le masque (visage) que tu mets avant d’aller en ville Un semblant de joie pour couvrir le faux Mais c’est un côté que...

    Bump... Est-ce qu'il y a Francophones ici? Non? Voirez? Mon Francais n'est pas bien assez me faire. Aidez! :D :( :confused: :o Chris

    thoughts on this French translation?

    Thanks, Cheeky Monkey. The fact that it looks good to someone else who speaks French is encouraging. She (the translator) is quite fluent. You hit the nail on the head, though, as far as "good literal translation" and "how a Francophone would actually say it." It is this problem, I'd like to...

    Behringer and the hits keep coming...

    I've had *one* problem with Behringer gear. My UB2442FX-PRO mixer got a bad channel about a week out of the box. I took it back to my retailer. Since I had already registered myself as the owner with that serial number, they couldn't do an even exchange. My retailer gave me a loaner...

    Rode NT-1

    I had a singer I was recording whose voice sounded really harsh with my NT-1 (which is my main "go-to" vocal mic). I tried a few other mics. I even tried a kick drum mic. Harsh, harsh, and harsh some more. That was the first session I have *ever* used an SM58 on vocals, as I find they...

    thoughts on this French translation?

    Hey all; As we complete our album, we have decided to include a French version of one of our songs. A friend of mine has translated it, and though I trust her judgement, I know that there are different "takes" on how to say something and exactly what it means. I was just wondering if anything...

    There'll be nice axes to try at the "6TH ANN HR.COM JAM/RECORDING/BBQ/BEER FEST !!"

    I'll be bringing my BC Rich Bitch along. Anyone wanna finger my Bitch? :D Chris

    Question about pitching a song...

    Anyone with any credibility probably doesn't post an ad looking for songs. They've probably got a room full of them that they'll never get to as it is. Chris

    Kick drum mic on a budget

    Happy with my Sennheiser e602. :) Chris

    buying a used piano... any advice?

    As we've been collecting information, we've found that our options are far greater if we go up closer to a grand. Still, at that, we're obviously not entering Steinway Grand Piano territory. :D The advice that has been offered so far, and a call to Lt. Bob would certainly not go amiss in...
