I don't believe you need this, it may just decrease clarity with the 58 which already has a windscreen.

Do a scratch take with just vocals and guitar to a click track. Play that back for the drummer to play over and then go back over it again with vox, guitar, and bass.

I believe it would be a "tritto". ;)

Yes, if you are trying to soundproof, you need to make a room within a room, rockwool may help a little but will really only be good as acoustic treatment. Try out some recordings before you go building a room though, I live next to a large road and rarely has it interfered with my recordings...

Sounds like you need Tim OBrien's standard noob reply. First off, immediately get a good beginner recording book (spend $20 before spending hundred$/thousand$) that shows you what you need to get started and how to hook everything up in your studio: Home Recording for Musicians by Jeff Strong -...

I have a tascam us144 and it works pretty well other than a few minor annoyances here and there. I'm thinking of upgrading to a us1641, but I am a little nervous.

Your problem is that it's a USB mic. It's using the stock sound card in your computer to record. These sound cards are not made for high quality recording purposes and so you get problems like the distortion you're having. What you need is an interface and another mic. When you say it is better...

My RP8's don't bother me much either when they're super loud, but generally I do prefer listening at a moderate volume on any speaker system, I usually don't like stuff so loud that my ear can't handle it and it gets distorted. I think the RP8's DO sound good just for listening. Especially...

Floor: wood is probably a good choice. You don't want to treat the floor because as humans every sound we hear, we hear in relation to the ground, so subconsciously there is something more natural about having a reflective floor. Walls: For tracking, you want a combination of reflective and...

Puff Daddy changes his name like every year, but he never makes it any better.

The only way you're going to be able to get those mixes to sound good on whatever you play them on is to learn how to use the mixing tools at your disposal and practice. There are no magic settings that are going to make your stuff sound good. Read this and you will learn a lot...

Yeah, for some reason I am compelled to keep it alive. :confused: Seen any good movies lately?

Yes the sound will be very different and unless it's a very expensive mandolin then the pickup in it probably sucks. Try both though and see which sounds best in the mix because an sm57 or whatever you have isn't really ideal either.

Audacity is a decent program, but it is limiting. Try Reaper instead, it's free to try for as long as you want and only like $60 to buy it. It's quite capable and a lot of people around here swear by it. Also, you can try to DI that mandolin, but I suspect you'll get better results if you mic...

yo wheres my towel, b? how i'm supposed to go on without my towel? my shit is lookin flava, my shit is lookin flava! Hypemen are lame. It was probably just a bunch of the rapper's friends who wanted to get on stage. haha and of course greg wants a tight ass over a fat ass, he's against all...

Is there a mono switch or a pan knob on the mixer?

For $5000, you could get the job done, but what do you expect the result to be? Do you want to learn how to record and mix or do you want a clean, finished recording of your band? You could buy all the gear you need which in theory would allow you to make some good recordings, but when it comes...

I think it sounds pretty good as it is. I have tried doing similar recordings, with one mic on a performance but never with as good results as this. For further improvement, play a little with your mic placement, or maybe on those harp high notes, turn your head away from the mic.

Again, you should have posted this in the mp3 mixing clinic and what did I tell you about youtube? Anyway, this is much better than the rap song. The guitar playing is sloppy, but the singing is pretty good. I would have added a little delay to the vox and maybe some (more?) compression. Might...

Very unique, I'm diggin' it. The intro actually reminded me of a song I started working on today, but then it went off in a totally different direction and started reminding me of Shpongle. If you haven't heard them, check them out. Anyway, I'm listening on headphones but it sounds pretty good...
