Well, normally, thats what I'd do, but if micing the bass drum with the condenser is gonna rruin my mic, then I'd kinda perfer not to even try it. So, thats why I'm trying to figure out if it will. Plus, it'd just be nice to know your opinions. I have limited time with this band time

umm...the bass drum has some sort of pillows and blankets in it. Ok, I have a 57 and the b1, and I just remembered I have a cheap 20-30 buck dynamic mic.. I need to do a take of just the bass drum and the snare. What should I do?

lets just say a guitar track of a song starts off with the fader at zero, and then the automation curve moves the fader to 3 later, and then down to .5 If I change it so that the fader starts at -1 at the beginning, will it later moved to 2, and then down to -.5, or will it still go to 3 and .5?

alright, well, tell me these. Would it be better to have the b1 on the snare and a 57 on the bass drum, or the b1 on the bass drum and the 57 on the snare?

Okay, tomorrow I'm going to be recording a drum track, and I'm gonna have to use a studio projects b1 condenser mic. How should I go about micing the bass drum. Also, today, I noticed when some plays a bass drum, air shoots out of the whole. So I assume I either need to use either a pop filter...

i think.....the hardest part of songwriting for me..............would have to be getting myself to keep liking the song after it's done.

dude, automation is freakin' sweet. thanks guys.

hmm. I might try roundpan, but I don't really want to download ALL those plug ins. I'm using cubase le, and no, i'm not familiar with automation. I just thought it was for if you have certain pannings and fader settings or something ou like to use everytime you record.

Ok, bad adjective. Anyways, I'm gonna record this band, and on one of the songs, the lead guitarist does a sort of Tom Morello-ish mechanical soundinf lick. I thought it'd be cool to shop up the part, out the different sgments on differnt tracks, nd pan each track differently so that the sound...

Hi, I'm about to record a heavy metal band, so I've been recording sanples of heavy guitar riffs all week, and I've noticed my guitars sound very two dimensional. I mean, the heavy thickness is there, but the guitars just sound kinda flat. I'm quadrupling the guitars and recording with an sm57...

lol. thats true. you never really stop wanting new gear. and theres always something better than what you have.

I usually notice a change when I get to 2-3 db. Not a significant one, mind you, but if you're using EQ to make huge changes in the sound, you've got the wrong idea on how to use it.

hmmm.....well, you could, if you have a keyboard, a midi cable, and a computer recording interface with a midi in, connect the keyboard to the midi in, bring of a midi track, and record you playing the best on your keyboard. How I do it is I downloaded the free version of Anvil studio[ google...

ok, the mp3 problem is solved. now my problem is my internet connection is really crappy and it takes a long time to upload, and myspace times me out before it can upload. Don't suppose there a quick solution to this, other then the obvious, is there?

alright, i've downloaded cdex. now does it have to be on cd to do it? Can I convert a file from my comp? Is Compressd Audio Files another name for mp3?

Vst plug ins aren't just for cubase. THough, I'm suprised to hear you can use them with audacity.

Hmm....now that you say it, yeah, i did use 320, but i could have sworn this morning it said i could only go up to 128. I'm gonna try CDEx. But yeah, there's a problem. The only way i can test the mp3 without myspace is REAlplayer, but my father has moved it somewhere so the shortcut doesn't...

Yeah, I've been using Cubase's encoder at the highest quality rates it will let me[ 128], however, when i put it on myspace it sounds all muffled and muddy, yet when i listen to mp3's on other myspace sites, they sound alright. i dunno if the mp3 just sounds crappy or if myspace is making it...

so how would I go about embeding the code into the player? And it should make the mp3 I export from cubase sound regular?

yeah. I need it in mp3 format to put it on myspace. When I listen to mp3's on othey myspace sites, they don't sound butchered.
