    another cheap Vocal mic question

    I have had both for over a year or so now. In short, My partner knows nothing about gear, but when I switched the V67g for the B1 for a vox session,, his @ss could hear the difference and asked me why the vox sound that way. I have yet to find a vocalist who sounds better on the B1 over the...

    i posted this in the hip hop forum as well but im still looking for more advice

    Dre had real musicians to come in and they played over sampled material, meaning he had the option to pan a sample with a bassline a lil, but he had a real bassist or that minimoog running straight up the middle or panned a lil with the sample's low end panned as well. Malcolm

    Too much proximity, para eq or multiband?

    Thanks Man,,, as usual. There arent any plosives nor silibants, just the tone whereas I heard too much low end or mid. I generally keep the mic around nose hight, tiltied back a lil to tame plosive vocalist. Im going to the studio soon and I will listen again. Stuff like this usually doesn't...

    Mixer dilemma

    If thats the sound your looking for,, then its gonna be hard to get around a 2" multitrack recorder. The way the market is now, if you dont have the big $$, you need to really look into your gear before you buy if your looking for really good analog sounds. You could Ebay, but remember that...

    Mixing and Producing that professional sound

    You may not get "Pro" probably because of your gear,, but if you read BlueBear's article on mixing,, that should help you for the meantime. Just remember,, Its not so much the gear,, but the ears and experience. Well maybe the gear too, but I have heard some killer stuff mixed on gear that...

    Too much proximity, para eq or multiband?

    Hello All, I tracked a session last night and after all of the vox were tracked I noticeed where the vocalist had pulled the mic closer to the pop filter. The track a pretty clean but I knew something was wrong when I started reaching for the eq. I could sweep some of the mid/lows...

    Bass and kick are dead center 99% of the time for me. use a EQ to move all the conflicted inst/vox out of the fighting space. Malcolm

    A-lott-a Cheap Mics or One Expensive One???

    I agree with all of these posts. I personally would look into checking my room first and mic positions, or a least the portion of the room where you track the vox. I have a variety of mics myself ( none very expensive ). But I have noticed where I may have used a certain mic in my room compared...

    Why are Rap Vocals so Clear?

    AS stated by other posters. The biggest difference I have encountered with rap (Comparing Samples/Syth Tracks.etc) to Rap over live band is the non-instrumentation in some of the commercial rap. Meaning fewer freq ranges to deal with. I track,mix,etc some live band with rap and it's a lot...

    Do Mackie HR624's suffer same slow transient response as HR824's?

    The biggest problem I have had with my 824s is the fact that I had to go back and remix things that I had previously mixed on my YSM-1s or NS10s. The first time I heard my 824s in my own environment startled me. I have only had them about a year now and Im still learning them. Once I did a...

I did manage to get my keyboard to trigger pads on the MPC2000 by using some midi echo settings in sonar. But why canyt I just start record in Sonar,, triiger my MPC2000 pads, playback sonar and have...

    MPC users

    My old college roomate just gave me a brand new MPC2000xl and I have been playing with it a little bit. For live guitar, unless it's about 4 bars or so, I wouldnt use a MPC. Im gonna see if I can sync it up with Sonar but overall, Im still favoring Sonar. Malcolm
