    Recording/EQing a Kick Drum

    I'm finaly taking the next step in my recording. . . I'm micing my entire drumset. . . I've got a couple questions about the kick drum though. 1) When micing. . . Should I position the microphone inside or outside of the bass drum? I've got that hole on the front of the set, and don't know...

    Sunshine of Your Love - Cream Cover, listen/comment please?

    I didn't use much compression at all, just at the end I used a Hard Limiter to take some of the extra spikes off. Listening to it over and over for the past couple days now, I'm kind of embarrassed of the actual peformance. I really missed a few notes :o As for the drums, I think this is the...

    Sunshine of Your Love - Cream Cover, listen/comment please?

    http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=5548262&q=hi A thing to keep in mind: - I recorded all of this w/ 2 crappy dynamic mics, so if the drums sound distant or weak, that's why. It's not meant to be identical to the original. I wanted to make it punchier. . . more rock and less...

    Kryptonite Cover

    Wow dude, I've got a very similar song! Just Acoustic guitar and Vox. I'll post it up here soon. I did it all in one take on one track, not alot of EQ, but it's the same idea as yours. Good stuff!

    Jailhouse Hop - Original Cover? Listen Please

    Hey guys. This is an original riff I came up with and put it with a song I'm sure you're familiar with. I recorded this with 2 AKG Dynamic Mics (crappy!), a Marshall G10 MK II (the small one w/ 3 nobs). I couldn't get the tone right on the rhythm guitar that's panned to the left, don't know...

    How important is a Microphone?

    So does a more expensive microphone only produce better quality sound? I figured that since it could handle more dB, it could produce more.

    How important is a Microphone?

    Does the quality of a microphone affect volume? I'm just thinking, when I used to record into my web-cam, everything was soft. I'm using a couple 20 dollar dynamic mics right now, and it's louder. If I got a couple SM57s would it be louder still?

    Deep Purple cover-update

    It sounds really good. I agree with the bass, though. This song could use a bottom-end-boost. I'm not a big fan all the panning on the cymbals. Some is good, I think it's a little much though. It might just be me. I can't hear the ride very much either. This is very clean and professional...

    Do You Remember Rock n Roll Radio? - have a listen please

    Eh, iduno. I'm not a big fan of U2, but I think they did a fine job. The Manson sucked. Metalica was allright I guess. I really liked the Chilli Pepper's Havvanah Affair. I think it was much better than the Ramone's version.

    Do You Remember Rock n Roll Radio? - have a listen please

    Writing your own song is too hard? And recording something this good isn't? :rolleyes: ;) I heard Kiss cover this on a Ramones Tribute CD, but never the actual Ramones version. I could imagine this is alot closer to the Ramones version. Very nice touch with the radio in and out.

    Blues Rock attempt

    I'm listening right now. . . Give it Back - Great song! Is this an original? I'm diggin it! Recording quality is fine to me. I like the panning for the intro. I'd turn the highs on the vocals down a little bit, and maybe add a slight bit of reverb to them. I don't know, maybe it's just...

    let me know if this sounds alright to you

    I really like the guitar. I agree about the vocals though, they sound a little too compressed/muffled for me.

    "Save Your Soul" Original Accoustic, listen and critique?

    http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=5417247&q=hi This was one of the first songs I ever recorded, so I just plugged into my computer. The quality and mixing isn't fantastic, but can you tell me what you think about the composition? If you like the idea/music/performance?

    Remixed - Mary Jane's Last Dance Tom Petty cover

    I tried bringing the highs down on all the guitars - - believe me I know exactly what you mean . . . I think it's just the distortion though. I think I'm gonna go in and re-record the guitar that's panned to the right... In the original there's the clean, crunchy one panned to the left; a...

    Mary Jane's Last Dance - Tom Petty Cover

    Haha, it's funny you should say that, Telepaul. He knows this song by heart, but he still brought his laptop in to read the lyrics. I'm like "dude, why?". I guess he was nervous. He needed cues when to come in too. This is his favorite song, Iduno.

    Mary Jane's Last Dance - Tom Petty Cover

    I know, it was so weird with the guitars. . . I had the mic very close and pointed right at the speaker, I didnt have the high/med turned up at all. . . but I still got a far away, very high-pitched sound. It sounds like it's recorded w/ a webcam, I can't figure out why :confused: . It was a...

    Critique

    This sounds very good, as good as anything I hear on the radio. $35 an hour would If possible without pushing any limits, I'd bring the vox up a bit. Actualy, now that I've listened to the end of it, the vox are fine at the end. They just seem a little soft towards the 1st half of the song
