Ok. Well, if the primary purpose is to prevent outside sounds form leaking in, then I don't think I need one, as I don't usually have that problem myself. I thought it had more to do with preventing 'bad' reflections of the vocal itself from 'leaking in'. A drier vocal would work better 4...

This will seem like a dumb question, but what is the reason for a vocal booth? Can someone post clips to show how vocals tracks were improved with the use of such a booth? My latest idea was the opposite - to do some experiments recording different instruments in a nice performance hall and see...

I am just curious to the reasons behind such a room, especially for a drumset. Usually people recommend a big live room for that. But, yeah, Fusion 2, why are they commonly used for vocals and guitars? Wouldn't they sound better in a nice big room too?Thanks.

Zoom 505 I don't know if this reply is too late, but I guess I own the earlier version of the pedal you have, the Zoom 505. You can get a direct sound out of it more like guitar sounds you are used to hearing with a lot of eq. Guitar amps don't put out much signal at all in the higher...

studioviols, Thanks for the reply. Oh, I agree that the goal is for the listening audience to be able to understand the vocal and sing along with it. A person would miss a lot of the fun on this song, if they aren't understanding the words. I just didn't think that the actual level of the...

TripleM, I did have one of the rhythm guitar tracks up the middle, though at little lower volume than the others. Maybe taking that track out would help the vocal then? Thanks.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I usually try to respond right when I get a post. I didn't even realize the last 3 responses were there as I was looking for the notification in my email. I mentioned before that the last few seconds of the song got cut off upon uploading. I am not sure...

Thanks for listening. non dance music or not? I don't know. I hate classifying things into genres anyway. If it is it's own thing, then that is good. If it was driving you insane, then I guess it was true to the music that inspired it :) That stuff nearly drove me insane! lol Yeah, if I...

I would appreciate any comments on this mix: Paintball Song Never really named the thing. A little history: I found this little poem from my one friend about his paintball experience that weekend on the yahoo IM that he sent while I was away from the computer. I thought, what the heck--- I...

Thanks for the replies, guys! mixmkr, you're exactly right - I panned that wide because I could. The part is basically an acoustic guitar pattern, but I thought why not pan out each of the 'strings' across the stereo field to get this ultra wide 'guitar' (but played upright, I guess :) )...

I would appreciate any comments on this mix:Music To Sleep By Thank you.

Roel, thanks for the clarifications. The reason I didn't understand your first comment before mainly was because I did not know what 'sample' you were referring to - the kick sample or snare sample, or whatever. I WAS the one who cut out the kick sample, for instance. I take it you were...

Thanks for the reply, Roel. I am not sure what you meant in your opening statement: Yeah, this isn't an example to critique the drums and what you said is true except I didn't think the snare sample itself was bad sounding if that was what you meant. Is that what you meant or just that the...

Thank you for your reply Harvey. Reading other posts you have made in other threads, I figured you were of the mind that it all comes down to the skills of the engineer. I am not sure what you meant about me having a 'defensive mindset' or what opinions I have that cannot be swayed, and I am...

Way back in this thread somebody said that they could always pick out 'home recordings'. I am interested to what the real sonic differences are that this person or anyone else hears and then how this difference in sound really translates to differences in equipment and location that everyone...

Well, can someone recommend a good omni then that doesn't have the hiss? I was interested in using a pair in a dummy head type setup. Thanks.

Anyone else? Thanks. I appreciate everyone's help.

I have tried a lot of things in my quest to figure out how to get a good recording /mix. I have done some mixes where I eq'd the heck out of things and 'carved' the eq of the diffeent instruments to fit together. No eq'ing at all was done on this mix. The only effect used was some compression...

Any more comments, please? Thank you.

Thanks for listening. Yeah the guitars are sloppy. I was in too much hurry just to get a clip done cuz I wanted to see what kind of sound quality I was getting trying a couple different things. It is annoying though and I guess I should be ashamed for posting it that way, but... Lack of bass...
