This is my first attempt at recording anything. For some reason it just doesn't sound "right" to me. I think I may have been a little heavy handed with the reverb, but there's something odd sounding about my fiddle is well. Any comments to why it sounds funny to me?

If you're handy with computers, you might want to replace your fans with some lower noise ones. Not hard to do at all, and it makes a big difference. Fan filters/covers also help.

I'm not sure I understand your question completely, but I'll give it crack. Most condensers frequency response is from 20hz-20khz, basically the range of human hearing. If you get a usb condenser mic you should be able to capture any frequency you are capable of hearing. Just to clarify, what...

Yes, unfortunately, the drawing is a little of scale. I am absolutely horrible at drawing ANYTHING. I can get the monitors pretty well centered, I imagine, and about two feet off the wall is what they will be. Thanks for the info.

Here's a updating drawing showing where I would be doing my recording/mixing ideally. What I'm considering doing is moving the bed over towards the desk a few feet, and moving the bookshelf towards the desk a few feet and building superchunks for that corner. The two problem corners will be the...

I would talk a doctor if I were you. I have a friend who complained of similar symptoms and had a frozen vocal cord. I also had another friend who exhibited similar symptoms and had thyroid cancer. Might be worth checking out

Two things I forgot to mention. First, the style of music I play doesn't really require much of anything below 100hz. I can pretty much roll off anything under that and not even tell a difference. Secondly, I'm more focused on making it sound good for recording. I like bluegrass totally...

Yes, that's actually where I was messing around today. I found recording sounds best with my laptop on the writing desk, with me facing towards the bed. It seems to cut out some of the muddiness. I actually have access to one other room that is much larger ~20x16 and has a tall, vaulted ceiling...

Thanks for the information, I really appreciate it!

Hi, I'm looking at buying my first USB audio interface-the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. I'm going to use it to record some multitrack bluegrass stuff for fun. I have a question about playback. I'll be listening to tracks from my DAW (acoustic guitar) then layering fiddle, mandolin, et cetera on top...

Thanks so much for all the information so far. One more question if you don't mind. Where would be the optimal locations to place these? I know you gave several different dimensions for the traps. Does each one need to go in a specific locations? Thanks.

The measurements are 12x14x9 feet. As far as bass traps and other things go, will having junk in the corners affect things? In other words, I am going to have to move all my furniture away from the corners of the room? Here's the analysis of some guitar chords on a cheap mic. I don't know if...

Any advice on how to run those tests would be appreciated. I've read about reverb on realtraps.com, and I pretty much understand the theory. As far as the buzz goes; I've never noticed it when listening to music or playing my instruments in the corner where I usually set.

Hi, everyone. By way of introduction my name is Matthew and I'm a bluegrass musician from Oklahoma. I've taught and played professionally for a few years and have recorded two CDs with a professional. I want to set up a small home recording area where I can create backing tracks for myself and...
