    kick drum: replacement, or eq?

    Just finished recording for my band's new EP and upon first listening of the tracks, I've noticed that the kick drum has a bit of a boomy tone to it. Not necessarily a bad thing, it kind of sounded like it could be headed in the direction of the kick drum sounds on "Swimming" by the French...

    "recording bass through amp's line out" question

    My apologies ahead of time for the long question, but my bassist has a vintage fender bassman 135, and in the back there is a "line/recording" output. We plan to record some new songs track by track, but will have the bassist and drummer playing together to have some cohesion and have that...

    My band is going to be recording a few tracks, and when it comes time to do the vocals, I'd like to get a tone similar to a tube amp with a good spring reverb, and I happen to have both, at least i have a tube amp, and a pedalboard with a decent spring reverb pedal.

    best 2-4 channel firewire interface for $300-500

    My interface of choice has been a Firestudio Project, which I sort of bought out of necessity as my band needed to record live, and we're a 5-piece. But now that we're done with that, I'd like to scale down to a very high quality 2 or 4 channel firewire interface for my own personal recordings...

    USB/Firewire Mixers Questions

    Hello all. I currently record on a Macbook Pro using a PreSonus Firestudio Project. While I am content with it at the moment, I'd like something more along the lines of a USB or Firewire mixer, especially now, as my band is beginning to experiment with vocal effects out of Live and Max/MSP, so...
