Keep us posted those mics look interesting, especially a stereo pair. I have an X-S mic that is mainly used on my wife's sax and clarinet but it has seen some other use on acoustic guitar & acoustic bass guitar with really good results.

Fix it by re-recording the bass trak to get a more consistent track. Try playing the part in a different register: eg. C on the 8th fret E string and G 10th fret A string. Better yet- get a real bass player- did he really say that-yes I did! :spank:

Hey Push don't be sorry we are all learning, just at different levels. Drum recording is a common theme, as it should be.

If you get your overheads just right you may not even need the snare mic, I almost never use the snare mic except for effects.

Like Gecko sez the humble behri c-2 does a fine job on sax. We use a Naiant X-S mic for alto sax and clarinet with really good results live and in the studio.

The sound starts at your bass Schecter does a good job, EMG HZ pups are okay what is really lacking is the less than stellar preamps that are used in those basses. If you are willing replace the preamp and go passive with vol-vol-tone, you will see immediate improvements. I have a Dean bass...

http://www.proaudiodvds.com/Tascam-2488-MKII-Neo-DVD-Video-Training-Review-p/2488.htm An excellent DVD primer, and the Tascam Users group has a 2488 section as grimtraveller pointed out.

There are many preconceived ideas about what a studio is, but that is changing as long soooo as you have a lava lamp, well then.....

There are 2 ways, one would be to record the stereo track to a stereo track using the normal input channels and the other would be to import the song as a stereo .wav file via the usb. Then you can record the vocals in synch, mix, master and burn a CD. It takes a while to get up to speed but...

SM57 with a wind screen.

The internal or loop reverb is accessed thru the send functions. You can send as much signal from any channel to the reverb and there is also a setting for the return level. The effect it's self is accessed thru the 'singe effect' function, there you can select the effect and tailor it to your...

As far as recording the acoustic it all depends on what you want, If you are happy with the Taylor/Blonde sound then you should mic that but remember that is a 2 way cab and you will need a nice room with some space to capture that sound. OTOH personally I would DI the pickup, mic the guitar...

+1x100. So much of my ability to get a great tone is in my hands, and my ability to wring every drop out of whatever level of technology I have at the time.

Dude, you tryin to make me feel old? :laughings: Actually that is better than my first 2 guitars, we wuz poor.

It does dampen the sound a bit but they started out mainly as a way to protect delicate Gibsons and Martins from the vigors of the road and later became ways to adorn and advertise a players name. Leather covers are still fairly common in C&W circles even now and you can even occasionally see...

Imported from Japan or Korea in late 60's early 70's I've seen lots of brand names on those guitars- Kent, Vantage, Teisco, Silvertone, Magnatone, Alamo who knows for sure, but it's likely worth the 20 bucks, but not much more.

I have all my outboard gear patch bayed and it makes it very easy to insert preamps, eq, reverbs or one of my stomp boxes for precessing sounds. I also use it to route signals from my keys and synths.

The only vocalist I work with the uses a hand held condenser is using an older Shure AX5, beat to hell but still works. The sound is detailed but not a bit harsh and it stands up to his rather powerful baritone rock voice very well.

Strings, set up and the right touch. The B string is a different sort of beast, I don't normally compress my tracks for recording but when I play 5 string it always has compression.

It's not a ground loop but some other kind of EMF, like Miroslav said there are all sorts of things in play in a recording situation. I know when I am recording any single coil guitar or bass there are some things I have to turn off or a particular place to stand/sit to avoid electronic hum.
