    Solved If for some reason you could only play one type of music what would it be?

    Can it br a type of music that I don't know how to play right now? If so, I'd pick cassical guitar. Nylon string. I don't think I'd ever get tired of that.

    best recording book, fullsail

    Hi, Stay away from Full Sail. I went there. They do teach you a lot, but IMO it's waaayy too expensive, and doesn't help you when getting a job. Some studio owners actually shy away from students from Full Sail. You stand a lot better chance taking what knowledge you have and just starting an...

    Vocals in stereo??!!

    I do most of my vox iin stereo also. It does give a wider, easier to listen to, sound IMO. I usually don't end up panning then that much though. Maybe 2 and 10.

    Finger pickers.

    I've been figer picking for about 7 years now. Started out with Dust inthe wind and then started learning some bluegrass stuff. I was inspired by a Leo Kotke tape my aunt sent me, and the movie Deliverence. HaHa.

    Making cables...

    Pin#2 is hot, Pin#1 is ground, Pin#3 is low. It says which pin is which in really small letters on the XLR connector. If you have 2 wire shielded cable, unravel the shield, twist it up. Thats your ground pin#1 white will be hot( if you like) and black will be low. Hope this helps.

    Stereo Buss Levels

    Thanks Pipe! I wish they could get all these things standardized. Isn't there a group that does this. Oh yeah, Have you ever read an AES monthly. I never have. Even though I get them monthly. I guess you have to be some computer geek that accidently falls into a cauldron of super dork formula...

    My Rappin Skillz Drop Feedback Peeps!!

    Yeah the rapping is good I guess, I really wouldn't know. I hear the artifacts too. And the music is a little low and stolen. Do people speak ebonics in the UK too? DO you guys do drive-bys with billy clubs?

    Stereo Buss Levels

    Right on! I will take all of this into consideration when I research a DAW. It always seemed like when you slam the levels on a DAW(just before clipping) and printed to a master, it was always quiter than my analog masters. So I've never been very comforatable trusting DAW meters. It could just...

    4-Track Recording

    Yeah, M. Brane has good advice. I used to do it the same way. Bouncing tracks can be tricky when doing multiple stereo instruments. I takes a lot of planning ahead of time. Still a lot of fun though.

    POrtastudio

    Does the portastudio have direct outs? I wasn't aware that it did. Does it have inserts? Are you using these as direct outs?

    Sorry I didn't know where to put it. I thought it should go in analog forum, since my studio is totally analog. I apologize.

    Stereo Buss Levels

    The stereo buss meter is one of the most important tools in mixing for me. I'm about to purchase a DAW, and I was wondering... Is digital zero equivilant to zero on say a VU meter. I've heard so many contradictions on this area. -12 , -18 , -6 Which is it, and how do I cal the two so I can have...

    freaky, spacey loop sounds?

    At most large retail record stores, they have a section with SFX in it. Halloween, military sounds, outdoor ambiance.There may be some sort of licencing issue, but i just use mine for fun. Sometimes I tweak 'em so you can't tell where they came from.

    DISTORTING VOCAL TRACKS

    Are you looking to actually distort your vox? Or just use that comb filter(boxy lo-fi) effect that a lot of people are into nowadays? I agree with Chess though, either way, you should track them clean, then decide whats best. Try cutting the highs and lows maybe boost the mids, then throw on a...

    I just looked on ebay. Nagras for $500-$700 price range.

    field recording

    Yeah I'd agree with Tex. Time code DAT and Nagra are the standard. Nagras used to be really expensive, I don't know if you can get one for under a $1000.
