I will definetly try that, and it makes perfect sense, cuz what i dont want is that terrible fucking sound on the "throw some D's" remix with Kanye, its like he recorded his vocals into a shit mic and then dubed it from a cassete tape onto the top of the original track, i was so disapointed...

After some private lessons from a pro engineer, a continueing internship, tons of reading, this web site, and countless hours of experimenting with my own band, i feel pretty confident to put myself out there to offer my services in the demo recording department. Mabye not the next Capitol...

I can afford about 600-750 (pushing it) , does anyone have a uggestion for a good first time outboard mic pre. Im happy with the way my drums and bass sound with the pre's i have in my firepods, but i need a little something in the vocal and guitar department, ive tried lots of mic techniques...

I did my first hip hop recording the other day, and i was wondering if anyone had some good tricks to make the vocals sit in the mix. Its a "mix tape" style recording so i have no control over the levels of the individual instruments in the track, just vocal on top of a mastered song basically...

nice, im the one who got this started in the first place, and i just read this thread, this second thread on the sme subject was also very informative. and yes glen is right, getting that perfect sound soloed is useless, ive learnd to definetly mix in the guitars with the rest of the mix going.

Oh, by the way, ALL of the responces gave me tons of stuff to try, and a lot of it worked so thank you all. Really the problem was tracking, but lke i said i didnt have a choice in re-tracking this particular situation, so i needed help fixing a crap sound in the mix and like i said, a little...

Umm to answer a few short questions, no at the moment i cant post a clip, although mabye sometime tonight, and to answer glens question, my defintion of thin is more of a feeling, to me thick guitars should be "felt" in the front of the mix, like your standing in front of the amp. Think "real"...

this just go's on and on, but the info im getting is so straight forward and helpful its hard to stop!!!! But this should be about it! If the trim is at or above twelve o clock am i gettin a coloration from the pods pre's, or are they completly passive at this point, and in closing, since you...

Its ALL about the room, i am learning about recording, but KNOW about playing live and practice. Just as an example, my band recently started in a new space for practice, and because of the rooms size, shape and the materials it was made of, the guitars we usualy had at 9 or ten in our old...

You cant per se', and i didnt really mean to throw that in there, i really just meant eq, but i my my mind i was just thinking about the cain of events to get to a decent snare sound. that said, with a mutiband comp, you can do just that to an extent.

I have learned some new mic placements that cut bleed quite a bit from the snare, but its still there of course. Who out there would rather gate the kick and snare and who would rather EQ out the things you dont want to hear?

yeah, its amazing what you see when you actually look, i checked out the pods last night and low and behold, two sets of trim, one for mic and one for line, DUH!!!!!! Now, do I set it at "twelve o' clock" or leave it a -10 and build from there with the gain from my pre, or do i add the outboard...

I think this qustion was sorta answered above, but i was wondering, if by putting a "delay" on a second track of the same guitar it meant a delay effect, or sliding it over a little bit? Cuz i tried just adding some effect last night, and it actually kinda worked, but in retrospect i think...

thanks that clears it up, and now i remember that from the manual, but since the manual is not in front of me, one last question. ARE the FRONT TRS conections on channel one and two differnt then the rest? i seem to remember them being desingned for direct signals or somthing like that. And...

I know that plugins exist that give vintage tones and tape sound, but are they ment for individual instruments, or the over all mix, and are there any that actually "improve" a digital recording and give it more depth and warmth, or are they all just gimmicks?

one last thing i just thought of, why not jsut run the signal through an amp modeling plu-in? is there somthign about this idea that is inferior to running in all the way out through an external device such as the line 6?

dont worry i didnt take it that way. and its not that i dotn have mor tracks to use, im just not in a posistion to re-record the guitars, so i have to work with the tracks that i have, but i have tons of tracks to double triple wahtever and i can also do the reamp thing which i posted many...

The reamping thing? (cuz i do have a line 6 pod) when im runing the guitar out where is i coming from?, am i running a soloed track of the guitar straigh from the outs on my interface? and then hitting record on another track? it seems like that would do it but it also seems to simple and...

I use presonus firepods as interfaces, my question is if i want to play around with another pre amp in the signal chain between the mic and the pods input, am i gonna run into problems running one pre into anohter, can i bypass the pre on the presonus, or is just a matter of keeping the input...
