what did you use for the reverb? computer effects or just the natural basement sound?

hmm I think for the budget, a spring reverb unit would be the most logical way to go. I never thought about the other two options. So for spring, what would ya'll advise? Something that will work with a Presonus Firepod preferably.

if you want your drums to sound like the 1930's, then go ahead with one mic. for the type of music you're doing, I'd say get 2 overhead condensers and use SM 57 on snare and pick up a low fequency bass drum mic.

Howdy. I'm looking to add an old analog reverb unit to my gear. Any suggestions? It will probably used mostly for drums and guitar and voice. Also, any suggestions on a delay for vocals to make them seem more natural?

I know room mics will give ya that mono-vintage sound.

I myself use Evan's G1 Coated heads. I play mainly jazz so they are perfect to go along with my mahogany shells. They have lasted me for almost a year now. you can't go wrong with that. they are a great choice I must say!

I'm looking to purchase a mint and working condition Tascam 388. I want to start recording with analog. digital is just to cheesey and fake and not the old fashioned way. I've checked ebay and the results are null. If anyone can lead me to the right direction of purchasing a Tascam 388, that...

depends on the style and what you think feels good really...like for jazz I like to use lighter sticks for more grace notes. For blues and such I use 5A's. As for oak and hickory, again, its your preference, just gotta go to the store and try everything.

if the lead singer does that, you lose the depth and volume in his voice...the mic won't pick his voice up basically.

yeah I've hear gret things about those...I would like one a tad cheaper and dynamic though...any other suggestions?

budget should range from 50-200$ I'd say. You can hear our stuff at Roppongi's Ace. Thats basically the range of the voice, a little toned down from live obviously. We recorded with an Audio-Technica AT4033. I'm just looking for something thats similar to that but...made for live gigs.

hey there, I was wondering what would be the best vocal mic to replace a shure sm58. I'm looking for something that amplifys the voice clearly. I think that the sm58 has too much bass in it. I want something that will clearly present my voice.

yeah it sounds like his amp for sure...I love it!

yeah their sound is 100% natural too, which is amazing. Yeah If you listen to our recordings the guitar just seems to mono and bass driven, I guess. I guess it all lies within experimenting with it, more of which I need to do. I'm just gathering ideas on how I can achieve it...

yeah we have an Alesis 8 channel mixer USB, only 4 of the channels work so we recorded the guitar first along with vocals so obviously we got off tempo. No clikc track or anything, we were just experimenting with the sound of the room and what not. Yeah I panned the snare to the left and used...

yeach check it out at Roppongi's Ace. Just a rough recording, but you can hear what I'm talking about.

hmm that might be it...the drums sounds perfect in my room...but the guitar and VOX just don't seem "real enough", like a sound coming from a basement recording. But I will try my bathroom out, see if that helps any. Yeah a little natural reverb I think will make the VOX sound better. But for...

Hi...I'm in need of some ideas for my vocals. When we go to record the vocals, they sound very mono tone and not very real. I'm using a Shure 58 for the mic and just running it direct into the mixer. I want kind of an old blues-rock distortion on the vocals on a few tracks and other just normal...

If you haven't check out this Sweet Puppy, I would recommend doing so. It is the best sounding vocal mic out there I think and its got character. Seriously, the range this mic has is astounding and the quality is just insane.

Howdy...I'm having some issues with recording on my porch and I was wondering the best way to deal with itI have a porch that is made of brick and has windows that surround it. The floors are vinyl tiles which totally bounces the sound everywhere. It houses all of my gear and its where the band...
