Extending your range up has always been easier for me than down. Try tipping your head slightly up to the microphone, breath in like you are yawning, leave your larynx down like that and your soft pallet dropped. preset your vocal chords to the note and then start the notes with pressure from...

I took classical vocal training (sort of like opera) and adapted it my self. It translates. There is really only one way to sing right;):D It only sounds like opera if you're singing an opera. Saves your voice too. F.S.

All you can do is go on recomendation. Look for the lesson that is the most highly touted by people with no stake in it's success. I can tell you this much. You will not get results for a while, so don't be quick to judge. Also a live trainer is always best because they can correct...

Looks pretty cool to me! I would personally move the center wall 3 or 4 feet into the control room to allow for a larger live space. You could put the door to the vocal booth on the other side of the wall. That would still leave you about 12 to 13 feet front to back on the control room and allow...

I would personally get further back from the 4311's too. You said you feel like your lacking low end. It may not be developing enough before it reaches you. That's a pretty close listening position for 12's. Bass is funny that way. I have 18 inch subs for live. You can hear them better at 50...

Well how much it is and at what frequencies I don't know, but it has to have some effect. You have a direct link to what is likely a fairly resonant surface. I could be wrong. It just seems likely. F.S.

I would think dismounting your speakers from the wall would help your low end at least some. Looks like a pretty big passive radiator to me. F.S.

This has been a total bitch! I think I have something here I can work from now. I have never mixed this fast of a song before so I have learned alot. I have also figured out that I can not trust my monitors for shit in thier current setup, so that's next on the list. I hate to put money into a...

I'd loose the corner desk and center a different desk in the middle of the 4.6M wall. Treat the 4.6m wall and the wall at the back and the corners of the 4.6 m wall or side wall & door and you should be doing OK. That's the most symmetrical setup and it allows your mixing position to be the...

+1 Recording vox in your average size untreated room is going to really effect the sound. I would get up on the mic as much as you can (use a pad if have to) and at least throw a comforter on the wall behind you. Back up to the wall as much as is comfortable and also center the mic to the side...

My insticts were right. Well I should have gone with the stedman screen. With all due respect to those who may have this nady metal pop filter, The thing is really cheap and cheesy to me. The screen is not flat and never will be it easily pops from convex to concave. The flexie arm is short...

Thanks WhiteStrat. Looks like I will be having alot of fun until I am able to built my control room:( I don't want to do alot to my current/temp room because it would really require rebuilding about half the room. It's about as bad as one could imagine it:D You'd have a hard time designing a...

Thanks guys:) Well, everyone certainly has thier own take on this one:D I know what's bugging me most, so I am going to work on that. I need to try a new mic technique on the guitar so this is a good one to try it on. I'll be back with another version hopefully in the next few days. F.S.

Thanks Ray. Ya, I'm going to do some retracking on this one and then work with it again. In the mean time I am going to try and get my temp room a little better. I've got a little better mix going but it's hard when you are trying to work with pretty crappy tracks (guitar & overheads) F.S.

That's what I am going to do for now. I have everyhing to make up the cords so that's the deal for now. I do want to try it the other way though just to see. Thanks Dave.

That was my plan. I just figured bypassing the mackie pre would provide more accurate monitoring and protect against any possible noise, unbalancing , etc that could be imparted by the mackie pre. Thanks Guys. Mixit: It's a sr24-4 and a very old one at that. F.S.

In my thinking, the ring connection on an insert jack (on the board) is the output as evidenced by pulling the out a TS plug one click to use the insert as a direct out. As far as I know the 1/4 inch inputs do not bypass the preamp. The pre-gain control certainly still controls them and is...

I honestly don't remember recording this but, my guess is at-3035 through a mackie sr-24-4 to a echo layla24/96. It's double tracked with major volume automation on the two tracks to maintain the relationship between the tracks. A couple places I sang too good and the tracks match a little too...

OK. I had a thought. If I was to run a outboard pre and monitor it by running one of the pre's outputs into the insert jack using a TRS connector with no connection going to the ring of the trs plug, I could effectively bypass the boards preamp and have a different pre running through the...

Don't use the crotch from the panty hose. It muffles the vocals. F.S.
