hey all.
i'm not here to ask any questons, offer any opinions, just to post 2 sound clips. same song, one take recorded with a 57, double tracked and panned hard left and right. the other with an e609, double tracked and panned hard left and right.
i'll let your ears do the rest.
by the...
i've always wondered, how the fuck do these bands that record so many guitar tracks mix them so they don't sound like complete ass? i mean, i've heard that linkin park does as many as 50 layers.
how do you even go about mixing something like that?
the most i've done is 3. play the same track 3...
what i did is i bought 2x 8 channel snakes that were RCA to 1/4" the plugged one snake into the mixer's inputs, and plugged it into the outputs of the delta 1010lt
then i took the other snake and plugged all the outputs of the mixer into the inputs of the delta.
my mixer has in-line monitoring...
it's not that i'm dead set against them. i've used them before, for demo stuff or song writing etc. but i'd never use them for a demo that i would be passing out to a bunch of firneds or to get a club gig with.
but as he said, he's just doing demo and songwritings stuff, so quality doesn't seem...
i haven't bought it, but we have a copy at the studio that i intern at. i have spent many hours fiddling around with it and i can even give you some clips if you would like. for the like $400, you can get a decent amp, pre, mic, and almost eve be able to build an amp box, or even macgyver...
in my expierence, guitar rig is basically a toy. you can't get much of anything useable, other than a handful of nifty clean tones. in my opinion, it's a waste of money.
for the price, you can get a very decent microphone and a great sounding amp and get much better results.
hell, that's what...
when i normally mix a right-handed drummer, i pan it as if the audience were listening to it.
snare and kick in the center (duh), floor tom on the left, mid tom center, hi tom right, and hats slightly right.
but for a left-handed drummer, would you reverse the placement of the instruments due...
you just need to keep looking. last week i bought 3 sm57's for $120. you just gotta find the deal, because, well, it's not looking for you in the first place.
it's all prefrence. analogue vs. digital.
some people like the warm attributes that analogue produces, yet others like the dry, in your face, harsh feeling that digital produces.
it's just like saying red is better than blue, cuz, well, red is just better!
if i were to buy a set of acoustic triggers for my drum set, like these: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/fg=102/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/444658X/ , would i need a brain, or could i plug them directly into my mixer and use drumagog in cubase to trigger samples?
