    Roland VS1880 generic cd burner???

    High ! There are a lot of plextors that work, some JVCs and I think some TEAC, all of these non-Plextors being older models which you prolly get used only... I bought a used JVC2010 and a Plextor 12/4/32 and work nice for me... Take a look over at vsplanet.com and do the search (BTW have you...

    TATU - All The Things She Said

    No hate music policy?

    High chess! There is another thing that you might wanna consider: if these guys are the way you describe them, they're quite likely to LIKE violence. I wouldn't wanna have guys like that around me anymore... I used to spend some time in the munich rockabilly scene a while ago. First just...

    Question about recording vocals and compression

    High Speedy! I would not recommend using compression on your way in until you've tried a lot to work with compression. Record a little lower (be sure not to clip) and then experiment with the compression to get the sound you want. There might be more digital artefacts but IMO these are better...

    limiting settings?

    In fact, a lot of hardware compressors have this feature: a compressor + a limiter... aXel

    Good way to record Snare

    An alternative might be to ADD (not to replace the original) a triggered snare sound... If you can't afford the stuff you want, it MIGHT help... Rent an alesis d4/Dm5/dm pro for one day (only if you have the snare and/or bassdrum on a single track each)... aXel May sound kinda artificial, but...

    drum bleeding

    You may use a gate/expander with a sidechain to improve your separation. In the sidechain path you push your frequencies that enhance the sound you want in the track well, in the controlled channel you have the 'original'. On digital workstations it may help a lot to give the gate a little more...

    Does guitars low end and Bass low end tend to fight for the same low end?

    For sure, they may interfere. Especially the palm muted notes on a heavily distorted guitar may kill the complete definition of your bass... Most often you'll have a lot of power not coming from the bass fundamentals but the higher harmonics. If you push these on the guitar (e.g. if you're...

    I love it loud

    I love it loud, too, but I'd love it even more if I had the possibility to get my stuff mastered... You will prolly not hear what you should hear. And it IS unlikely that there is nothing else to improve than to get it louder. But if you haven't heard it on first pass why should you on second...

    Vocal tracking volume...

    I assume that it might be easier to ride the vocals than to ride the rest of the tracks... So if you plan to use a non-static mix, this might be a reason for the vox track... aXel

    Comping Vocals???

    My tracks are so overcompressed, that I can take any part at any time without having to worry about volume... No, seriously, compression may help a lot if you do some compüs.. aXel

    digital clipping driving me insane!

    One more ideas to the valuable tips before... I'm not sure whether I got you right, but guitars may be bitches to record directly (do you do that?). The thing is that their attack will be so short that you won't see it on a meter, but you'll hear the clips... I would think of limiting when...

    mixing with headphones

    Why not do the work that is nice with cans and do the mix without? Cleaning up track a.s.o. works almost nicer with cans... I even did some mixes with cans at night and the checked a lot in the afterwards... This surely is a VERY inefficient way... I also had the impression that some very...

    Sitting in the Mix-- Big Picture Question

    Well if you KNOW that a track will be lower in volume, why not track it lower? You might get some rounding issues on a digital thing and some more noise on an analog system, but I once (accidentally) had one song that sounded just like I imagined, directly after tracking... Just using mic...

    Guitar Track too rough

    You might think of re-tracking or only reamping? aXel

    Seperation of instruments

    Separation can be a lot of things: EQ (be it subtle or not and subtractive or not): the goal is to give each instrument its own frequency domain(s). You might think of removing everything (or some parts) of instruments that are not necessary for your song. Stereo placement: a lot of the...
