Hey guys. It's been a while. Real life job hunting and crummy crowds at open mic have left this guy a little stretched... but I recorded these things in the last few months, if anyone would care to give a listen. Particularly "Girl" and "Conquer" are the ones I think I got the mixes best of the...

Well I'm off to the country visiting the GF's fammy again for a week. One of the biggest problem I have with home-recorded vocal takes is that I never seem to get the quiet that I need. When anyone is home, or a neighbor nearby in his yard.. I have a serious psychological hangup about singing...

I am trying to mix something, just as good a quality as I can get. I had problems last time with headphones being very innacurately bass heavy, leading to the mix being overly harsh tinny. I don't have any 'real' monitors the closest I have is the built-in monitors on a Korg C4 cassette 4-track...

I just saw on the news about the new iPad being a multitrack recorder. Cellphones turned everyone into a photographer, Facebook gave them all hundreds of 'friends', youtube made them all celebrities creating movies of their boring everyday mediocrity... now ipad is making every 14 yr old...

I have 2 recording at a time to do a drumset. So far I am running close kick and snare into one input and overhead and room into the other input. I have been experimenting with EQ on the premix on the individual Kick and Snare mics in the mixer to pull out a nicer tone, but predictably this...

I have a lot of drywall pieces AND fiberglass ceiling panels approx 5/8" thick. cuts and scraps from a remodelling project I was working on. There are an awful lot of these things. I am not planning on building a wall, but I wonder if this materiel has any use jury-rigging something for a room...

My kick drum is a part of a beginner set (like guitar center $399 new with cymbals sort of set) and all I have is the heads that came with it. I took off the front and stuck a pillow inside to get ring of the ringy sound and it sounds good to me in the room. So far so good. I have seen drum...

This is the first time I have recorded songs, mixed them, worried about trying to level them out... treated a room.. anything really I'm very new. These are all rough cuts but I was excited I finally figured out how to do something from idea-to-mp3 and (after a few hours of arguing with my GFs...

Okay, as the thread name implies, I am having trouble with a bass guitar part using chords. It sounds great through the amp, using the 'presence' and all that stuff on his amp, but I don't have a good mic for recording a bass amp as I would like. I want it to be as similar as possible to the DI...

I was reading a lot of people get a thicker guitar sound by recording it twice and blending them. I also read a lot of bass is recorded using a mic on an amp blended with the DI tone. I was wondering if another way would be to plug my guitar into a mixer to split it into several outputs. I...

Hey guys. I've been reading for a while but I have a question. Is there any cheap, like really REALLY cheap (like free?) way of getting a room set up to record in. I have access to lots of cardboard boxes, blankets, sleeping bags, duct tape, giant piles of laundry, random bits of wood...
