Is this ever going to come out?

This same thing happened to me about 2 years ago, when I demo'd the waves multiband compressor and L2. I still could never afford real mastering as it is, but I've found my mixes don't suffer as much from boosting volume if I just have a little compression and some limiting for volume...

Yes you could easily do that for under a grand. I built mine, for about $800 which would include the flat screen monitor I got. It was a shuttle XPC. Check newegg.com, you can basically size up how much it's going to cost pretty quickly.

Well, that makes sense and all, but my mics still do work fine 2+ years later, like I said they sound the exact same as when I got them. I guess I should look forward to them starting to crap out soon. Also I would like to know much better mics I could get for that price? I got mine new for $50...

I may be wrong but don't a lot of mics have foam inside the grill? An SM58 for example??? I know those have been known to last. Plus I have had my C01's for 2 years and they sound the same as they did when I got them, I don't even take all that great care of them. I have many recordings using...

I have a C01, it's a fine mic, a little noisy, but worth the price. Workes well for drum overheads (2 of em) if you want a large stereo spread since it's supercardiod. Also has worked well on vocals for me. The noise isn't an issue if you are talking right into it. Haven't compared it to much...

2 mics would probably be the most I would ever use for kick, maybe one pointing to where the beater hits and one farther away probably also pointing at the kick (where exactly depends on many factors), to get some more of the dry thuddy sound. It mostly has to do with the drums, it's not...

Awesome... thanks, I guess I'll just give it a shot. It's weird how I've been doing this for years but have never used a CD-RW, but I've never been this damn broke.

I'll just say... drum kits are very particular to the rooms your in and maybe it just sounds bad at your house, my kit sounds amazing some places and horrible others, and the places I play that it sounds horrible, I've seen guys with amazing kits that also sound horrible there. It's weird one...

SM 7, not 57, different mic. Used a lot in broadcasting. First time I ever saw one I thought someone just made a little case around a 57.

Will these play in common CD players? I am pretty sure they don't, but I am at the car check phase of a recording (don't have a sub) and don't wanna burn through too many CD-R's (yes I am that broke). I've been using a cassette tape, but for obvious reasons I need to switch to CD's.

My two favorite sounding albums are Clutch S/T, and Kyuss Welcome to Sky Valley. Just because I think they sound like how they should without being overproduced. As to the best sounding albums, I have no idea.

You should get the EV Blue Raven and then tell us how it is.

I have some Samson stuff that has served me well for the past year or so.

Yeah, I could never pad those pre's enough to get useable signal, so I switched the jumpers to be line in, and now I just use external pre's hooked into the XLR's. You can figure out how to do this in the manual.

I've heard of people taking those shooting mufflers and just puttting those ipod style earphones in there, which seems like it would work decently, but your still still not gonna get the greatest sound.

The Vic Firth's are crap in my opinion, they sound worse then almost any headphones I have heard. But I guess they are OK for recording drums because they give you a muffled sound (to the drums) that can sound kinda pleasing, like playing with earplugs. Not worth saving $40 or so. I would say...

Any of the super cheap mics are going to act similarly if the playing is good, so pick some up and start recording.

Let the singer hold the 58 and use that. With death metal I think it helps for them not to have to stand there and sing into a condenser on a stand..

I'd probably go with a multi-pattern condenser. That way you could use it on your vocals and guitar, plus have some versitility with your sound by trying omni and figure-8 patterns as well. I'm not a big fan of the 57 on much except snare, although I don't have any real nice pre-amps. I am a...
