Haha, perfect. thanks :D

Just got a SM57 for micing my guitar amp BUT I was thinking I could sue it for vocals aswell and save me buying a Sm58 or whatever. For a pop filter, would this do the trick without negatively affecting the sound? Shure PS-6 Popper Stopper | DV247 Cheers :)

Hi, I wondered if anyone could help me - I've got a Tascam 488 and when I rewind the cassette to the beginning of the track, it seems to be rewinding slower than usual and takes quite a while to return to zero... I'm using TDK SA60s and I tried it with a different brand of cassette and it...

Sadly, this is the difficult bit!

Like the recording newb I am, I bought a Tascam 488 without knowing much about it! Do I need an external master recorder? I think the obvious answer is yes, but what one - like a USB one or an analogue one? :confused:

Cheers guys, you've pretty much answered my q, guess the next step is to try some things out...

Has anyone ever done one - vlogging I think it's called... If so, what d'you say in it?? I don't want to appear too cliched if you get me...I was also thinking of getting someone to do a video interview as it might seem less contrived. So yeah, has anyone ever done anything like it?

Ah ok, I sense it's going to be a bit problematic. Could you recommend any other way to get like a delay effect with vocals, much like this... Beady Eye - The Morning Son - YouTube not that I'm trying to sound like Liam! But that sort of thing, was also planning to use it to record as well :/

The Sand Band - All Through The Night - 8mm Album Promo Video - YouTube @ 15 seconds in... It said in the sleevenotes that they used a Tascam 488 but it's not one of those :S

Hmm is there such thing as a splitter? So effectively having like 2 channels, one just a straight XLR to the pa, another using a 1/4 to the pedal to the PA. It's a SM58 so I don't think it needs phantom power?

I mean as in quality wise - if I were to use a 1/4 from a mic into a pedal, and then a 1/4 from the pedal to a PA in the live setting, would the sound be of a lesser quality than just using an XLR straight into the mixer?

Thanks for the kind words! My kitchen seems acoustically better than my bedroom anyways....although that's not hard! I'm in the process of buying at the mo so hopefully I'll have some new recordings up within the next 2-3 weeks. I'll take your comments on board, as should be evident in the new...

Ha well I just 'accidentally' bid on and won one on ebay...so I guess I'll find out!

Well I'm not a fan of clicks but laying the drums down first does make sense...so I'd record a guide acoustic, then drums, then build everything on top of that? A mic upgrade is much needed I think, although those models are probably outside of my budget... As I'm recording in my bedroom, I...

Yes - and I'm no drummer! I didn't use a click either. It's a reallly rough demo and I've only got this cheap peavey mic for recording...it was like £20 so it's not great. perhaps I should have said 'singing technique' instead of voice....thanks for the comments! Good idea! I'll try it when I...

Yeah I did think it could be a stomp box...he says he uses it for the 'nice top end' - dunno if that would contribute or not

late 20s??? Yeah I suppose I am singing from my throat...sometimes I can from my diaphragm but it's hard to control. I'll have to look up larynx! haha

He's singing through a C1000 - aside from his singing style, is this what's getting that distortion-like quality? Kind of lo-fi... or is it something other than the mic i.e. the recorder?
