Hey everyone, been ages since I've posted here. I'm getting ready to finally set up my new studio. I'm thinking a snake is going to be useful. If I plug the snake connectors to different mic-pres, would the differing tones of each pre be preserved? Does that question make sense? Thanks guys.

was the sale final? What part of Nebraska? Highly interested. Please drop a line. -nate

What can I do to do that? And thank you for the replies.

That bad huh?

Hey guys. Here is my first attempt at a mix for a friend of mine. I'd really love to get better. Can you listen and let me know what can be improved? (I'm already thinking there's too much verb on the vox) The song is called "Too Busy Settling" and it's by my friend Laura Jean Mills. Thanks...

This video was a great help to me in finding a starting place. I would watch/listen to the video to see some of the starting positions/considerations....then work out from there.

Just an echo of what they said. I've spent years studying, learning, reading etc and had my first serious session last saturday. Because I've spent so much time learning the theory, understaning what to look for with mic placement, phase, etc....I was actually able to get some really good...

So, is your budget $700? Are you doing just hip hop vocals or are you doing live instruments too? These are things we need to know.

She's the first to admit she just had a hard time keeping time. But listening back it's not that bad. Definitely workable I think.

She knew it and admitted it. It very much was a result of her playing on her own all the time and never really needing it. So she's used to pushing and pulling the beat. I think we may start over and set up a few extra mics and cut stuff live. That way we all move together. I'll put a click in...

OK, so the session was saturday and it went like one would expect a first session to go. We worked to lay down scratch tracks so I could play drums over it. She had a hard time with the click so it was a bit sloppy. As a result drums took longer to record than I would have liked. As a whole I...

Armistice, that story reminded me of a story: Once I was at a buffet with my family. My mother told me that I needed to get some "green stuff" on my plate. (Clearly referring to vegtables.) So I went to the sundae bar and retreived every green candy from all of the bowls. She tried her damndest...

Murphy, thanks for the post. That makes a lot of sense. And welcome to the boards! We're both really excited and I can't wait to post some MP3s for critique on the mix board. Thanks again everyone!!!

Thanks Guys!!! We're actually setting up in her house so there's no being ready before she arrives. She's not paying (and I wouldn't want her to) so I don't know that she is or will be stressed. I just don't want this to be a negative experience. Plus I'm so scared to start making "executive...

Hey guys.....finally after years of reading/studying/some practicing/wishing/etc....I'm recording someone else's music this weekend. I'll be acting as producer and engineer. She's a good friend and if things end up sucking there's no real harm.....but I'm nervous as hell. Any tips? And I don't...

Thanks guys for your help. Turns out neither machine was available when i was able to pull the trigger. But, again, thanks.

Have any of you used either of these machines? I can purchase both for almost the same price (within $10 of each other.) I like the fact that the Zoom has two headphone outs but I have read that the CD burner is sketchy. The Korg has USB connectivity but fewer XLR inputs and only one...

I also have a JL cooper PPS 100 synchronizer.

I really wanted to sell locally. However, there isn't much of a market here. I have a relatively good condition 488mkii that I'd like to sell. It's not in perfect cosmetic condition and belts are probably getting close to needing replacement. However, based on what I'm seeing around the web, I...

My method is often two seperate processes. Most of my songs are lyrically driven (the lyrics are the most important part of the song.) So I write lyrics all the time. Then I'll sit down and write a chord progression, pick part, etc Then a lot of time I find that a certain piece of music will...
