For the holidays, I got myself a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, which is currently just hanging out on my desk. I want to put it into an angled portable rack so I can move it from home to rehearsal space with a little more ease. I was thinking about having a patch bay with it so I don't have to...

Oh ya. I'm the "band-nazi" when it comes to putting together stuff and going out (open mic jams excluded). I won't agree to a booking if I don't think we're ready on a performance level collectively...same w/ the other guys. I think Rami was talking about the quality of the samples handed to...

Solos/leads are still alive and well, they're just not in the mainstream music any more....you can thank Nirvana for that one since they essentially killed the "guitar solo age" by pushing Metal back into Europe's mainstream. There are several bands that still have solos/leads, some are even...

Unfortunately, I'm financially and property challenged, so I have to deal with what I have....and THIS ugly mess is what I have: Where I'm standing to take the pics are double-glass doors that open to the living room. The right side (picture facing) is shelves with a bunch of computer parts...

Oh, I totally agree, which is why anything we give them we tell them up front is from a live show. As far as I'm concerned, recording in the space as discussed here is nothing more than a live recording sans audience. I'd love to give them a polished demo...but we're simply not at that point...

PERFECT! Thanks much!!! This is a "path fwd" that I'm looking for. I don't EVER expect these recordings to be near anything commercial quality or really anything I would distribute as a demo....but something I can use w/ a promo pack to give an idea. My experience is that venue owners that...

Mainly for self-improvement...but usable for an "in the meantime" demo for booking pkg in the meantime. Really for the self-improvement and sharing with friends in case we capture something decent. For a real demo, we'd have to sit down and do it the right way w/ click-track, multiple takes...

The sample was 1 mic sitting in the middle of the room. As for the carpet...it's a rented space in the middle of a warehouse. What's in there is what's in there. And no, the egg-crates weren't my idea. Ideally for actual recording, separate w/ click, etc is the way to go. I'm just looking...

My band practice space is pretty small....like 13x17. We've got some acoustic paneling as well as egg-crates up all over the wall with a carpeted floor. Each guitarist has head w/ 4x12 cab. Bass has 1x12 or 1x15 combo. Drums are acoustic. Vox go into the crappy PA. My question is: given...

It's extra work, but IMO if you have a DAW is to export the Final Cut audio (OMF maybe?) and bring that + the Zoom in and mix it there. If not, try doubling/tripling the Zoom audio track. I would not add gain if you can help it.

A lot depends on if you already have Audio software and whether or not you'll ever be doing any live recording. Sony Vegas is good for most stuff. If you don't have audio mixing software already, I'd thing about possibly getting a little more. While a lot pricier, something like Adobe...

Whoa....that is great quality. I could tell it was a DSLR because the depth of field on that is amazing in small distances.

Great job! I'm a videographer that's shot mostly weddings and concerts. You've done way beyond what I could do. I agree with everything that's said pros and cons. The lighting is harsh on the lead in a couple of spots but not the end of the world. The gels & LED solution are good ideas...

Heyas...live in atlanta. Love 80s non-hair Metal, Jazz, Prog n more. Main software is sonar x1 producer and a focusrite sapphire pro 40 interface. Been out of the recording loop for too long and trying to get back into it.
