You probably don't need the snare mic, especially if you solo it and you're hearing tons of the high hats. The left OH is positioned where it is in the recorderman method so that the snare takes dominance. If you're not getting enough snare then you're hitting the high hats too hard! Where is...

It's gotta be behind the camera. There's no way he could have overlooked such an important feature. :D This is looking wicked awesome. Any chance you could PM me an approximate cost for it (minus gear, of course)?

Congratulations! I've been looking at the TT myself for a while. My local music store doesn't carry Orange (the nearest dealer is over an hour away :(). Could you post clips?

Personally, I can't get a bad sound out of the 103s. That said, I've only used them as a stereo pair in large rooms (both treated and untreated). If you're in the market for a $1k mic, then you might want to rent some and find which ones work for you. It's impossible to recommend one over...

Loudness war, psshhhhh :mad: The trick is finding a compromise.

It wasn't JBL. It was the first product of a company, and the speakers look like they have flying saucers on them. Bah, I'll remember it in about a month or so. :p

Ah, thank you, I thought I read something somewhere about that. Naturally, it was Ethan's, errrr, Real Trap's site ;). Someone was demoing a speaker at the Boston AES Student Summit this past fall that had such correction built in. I can't remember the name right now, but I know Audi (or BMW?)...

Yea, pretty much. I wouldn't be so solid as to say "-6" though. I'd turn it down as much as it needs to to get a compromise between the sound you're trying to eliminate being gone, and then sound of the instrument changing dramatically. As little as -1.5 is sometimes all it takes, but if it's...

I've only gotten gold from the Lexy's I've used. Hell, even the presets sound better than most. Flanging or phasing the vocal can do wonders to a flat vocal track. Congrats on finding something that works for you!

http://www.ikmultimedia.com/Main.html?arc/index.php Is it just an auto EQ plugin? I'm not sure that justifies the $700 price tag, even though it does come with a measurement mic. You can do the same thing with an SPL meter, sine tone generator, and an EQ on the master channel. You only have to...

You're on a roll with this thread. :D

Mike, That M-Audio card should be all you need. There are 8 line ins (which is the level you need to bus from you console) and 8 outs. The two XLR inputs on the card can be used with or without the preamp on the card. In your case, you'll just be using them as another line level connection. You...

I'd bring the guitars up even more, and give them a high shelf boost at around 10k. Especially the lead parts. Don't be afraid to pan them even more. The snare needs some more snap. I suggest compressing it with a fairly quick attack (around 10-15 ms) and use a high-ish ratio with a low...

Ok, taken directly from William Moylan's book "Understanding and Crafting the Mix": "Distance is NOT loudness. Distance is NOT determined by or the result of the amount of reverb placed on a sound source. Distance IS the result of timbral information and detail." That said, there are...

Coincidentally, right smack in between 200 and 300 IS B3. As to why people want to slice that away, I have no idea. Conspiracy against B? :p Actually, my best guess is that there is a strong formant in that range on the bass itself. Plus, it gets in the way of the guitars. As for 3k, I'm not...

Are you looking for single hits, or full patterns?

I've gotten good sounds by putting the mic between the sound hole and where the neck is attached to the body, around 6 inches away. I then rotate it along the length of the neck until I get a good compromise between the bass that the sound hole gives and the treble that the strings themselves...

I'd put it a couple feet in front of the kit. Then toy around with vertical placement until you get a sound you like. If you think you're tight enough with your playing, then you can record the part several times with the mic in the various positions and it might sound better. Unfortunately...

Try to get a real drum kit, maybe rewrite the part a bit. The keyboard pad is a bit loud, I'd like to hear a really rich acoustic guitar driving the song a bit more. The melodic keyboard line sounds really good. I'm sure my opinion will change when the vocals are added, but as it is right now...

Normalizing is quantizing the signal again, which brings up the noise floor, in addition to it being brought up by the actual normalize. Normalizing is an absolute last tool to use if you have an extremely weak signal and you can't go back and rerecord it. Even then, I see no reason to quantize...
