I am spoiled I guess. I am so used to recording everything in stereo from the moment of first tracking it, even the simplest guitar parts I usually use double mics, or a stereo out of my amp sim pedal (If I have to use it for volume neighbor reasons, yuck). I double the bass parts for tone...

I have a 464 I bought used. It worked just fine when I got it about a year ago, was not often used, but was well cared for and in good condition when I recieved it. The other night I went to plug it in and get it going and instead of just quietly loading up the LCD and waiting for me to tell it...

I have never, ever had an active pickup run out of batteries. I have no 9 volt. The bass guitar was just fine a week ago. All of a sudden it doesn't work. It was running on the batteries that came with it from cursed guitar center (bought new about a half a year ago). This thing is never ever...

I am using a Tascam DP01 recorder. It has 2 inputs, both are XLR or TR/TRS, one has a switchable 'guitar' setting for the 1/4". Both have 'gain' control. I am using 2 mics, 1 is a condenser that uses the phantom power I need to switch on, provided with the recorder. I have only 1 XLR male to XLR...

Okay, I this is my first time micing up a drum set for studio recording. I have done live sound drum mixes for years but am quickly discovering that this is a very different creature. Here is the problem: I have a wierd 'popping' sound from my kick drum. Let me say first that my setup is very...

I recently got a Tascam HD16CD-FX from ebay. It is a mixing workstation style all-in-one kind of console with a built in burner. So claims to be able to make audio CDs all in one package. It did this in fact and they can play (albeit at low volume but that's probably my fault) in some car...

This is more about the songs than the recording quality I guess. I am putting it up here to see if any of you guys ears like it or not. There's a story behind this 'album', I did most of writing in the hospital waiting room while my friend, GF's father was in his last days, so that's why it's...

I recorded this in one day between hospital visits to my girlfriend's father, and other life responsibilities. It is kind of dark, because of the circumstances of the time. I did a 'one-shot-one-kill' kind of approach playing guitar and singing at the same time. I think it came out nice. 'lo-fi'...

That is the most awesome example of 'less-is-more'. One good mic in the sweet spot in the room and everything is coming in loud n clear. That drummer is quite talented too keeping his hit velocities even. If he was more agressive you might have gotten cymbal splash or high hat overbearing...

Hey, I'm kind of new to the online mp3 upload sort of thing. A couple of years ago I opened up a myspace page just as a place to stash my recordings so interested buddies could download it. Myspace seems to be kind of waning in interest since facebook became everyone's favorite new toy. I don't...

I'm just so excited... in the last 2 months I have pieced together the first full-on studio I have ever had. 4 piece drum kit. Start at the amps: a Peavey Vypyr15, an Accoustic B100, and a Roland K350, each with a dedicated multi-effector for guitar (zoom), bass (zoom), and vocal (DOD)...

I just got my Behringer Euro UB1202 mixer off of ebay. I have never used a mixer like this before I usually just do my mixing on my recorder. My concern is that I noticed, after left on and plugged in for a couple of hours, the unit seemed to be very warm. Same with the power supply. Is this...

I just got a phantom power large diaphragm condenser mic dirt cheap from ebay, but the phantom power mixer I also ordered hasn't arrived yet. Is it possible to test if this thing works without phantom power? I currently run straight into an analog 4 track, or straight into a PA 'keyboard' amp...

I'm pretty ignorant from computer recording, I have always used hardware recorders, not software. I want to be able to burn CDs in 'redbook' so they can be played on any stereo. My computer has a CD burner, but no software other than Audacity, which doesn't do that. I am poor and so I want to...

http://www.myspace.com/suncatmusic I recorded this whole thing with a tascam mfp01, (ghettoest 4track cassette thing ever) and the mic that came with it, using a backpacker-style guitar with 4 strings left on it. I was hoping the songs were more important than the quality, and I have long lost...

Please I'm sorry if input is a bit unknowledgeable, I have a problem knowing how to use my finite resources. I will tell you elders what I have, in essence, a cluttered room with a 4 piece set, a nice 'Accoustic' bass amp, a Roland KA/PA 350, and a 15 watt Peavey Vypyr guitar amp which has...

Hello. I'm new here. I am not much of a sound engineer, I just learn the very basics a bit at a time to do what I need to do. I am a singer/guitarist/drummer/bassist who records out of necessity because I live in a very small town with no musicians except old dudes who want to play cover songs...
