I'm trying to emulate their drum sound in their song "Race for the Prize (remix)". Specifically, I am trying to capture the sound of their cymbals in the same way. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? The Flaming Lips - Race for the Prize (Mokran Mix) - YouTube

I saw a technique on a TV show where an engineer used an LDC and a dynamic in order to get the best possible tone from vocals. I am using a Sterling LDC. What dynamic should I get ($200 or less) for this purpose? To clarify, I would be running both at the same time, recording the same vocalist...

Can someone either give me or link me to a basic guide for these? I already googled it, but a lot of stuff I found didn't seem too reliable.

I just realized that in 2 years, I will be living miles away from home in a tiny dorm room with a grand total of zero storage space. I've decided that I will probably sell my collection of guitars and upgrade to just 1 acoustic and one electric. I already have a killer acoustic guitar, so that's...

I'm either going to DI or use one of my mics. Either way, they'll be running into a US-600 Tascam interface. Currently, I have 2 SM-57s, a Sterling LDC, and a Sterling Pencil Condenser. My questions is: what set up should I use? DI, SM-57, or what? I'll be recording a Fender Aerodyne bass...

My friends and I are all in high school. Currently, I'm running a collective between myself and a few other school bands. We wanted to set up gigs to press our music, but we found that literally ALL the bars and restaurants contacted have a 18+ age limit. So, what are some good places we can...

I have a couple parts to this question: First: What is the idea mic position? Right inside, a few inches away, a foot away, a yard away? Second: What mic should I use? I have 2 SM-57s, a Sterling LDC, and a Sterling Pencil Condenser. Third: What mic would be best period. If I were to go out and...

For a school project, I have to dub vocals onto a pop song. I found the karaoke version of Blitzkrieg Bop, and I currently have it on my desktop as an mp3. How can I drag it into garageband so that I can edit it there and overdub vocals?

I was considering buying one, but I don't even know how it's tuned. I just love the tone. Also, can you link me to some good resources for cigar box guitars, like maybe an online chord chart or something along those lines? Much appreciated

Logic Studio vs Logic Express Is Logic Studio really worth the extra $$$ over Logic Express? I understand it would be for techno/electronica artists; however, I run a pretty basic studio out of my house, and was wondering if the price would be relevant for someone who records mostly electric...

I have a 45w Fender Hot Rod Deluxe tube amp, and I noticed that going from 1-4 increases your volume more than going from 4-12. Is there any mod I can do that will solve this issue and give me even volume across the board?

I have 2 SM-57s, a Sterling pencil condenser, and a Sterling LDC. I was thinking of either doing the Glyn Johns set up or the one recommended by the Shure microphone guide (overhead, kick, snare, and high hat.) Which do you think would be a better sound, and what mics should I use where?

Which do you think would be a better DAW?

I'm setting up a home studio, and was wondering whether it is best to charge based on the hour, day, or number of tracks.

I recently purchases the 600, but then I noticed the 800 is online for half the price...why is that?

I need to delete a few older threads, can someone help me do that if I post the links here?

The first one is basically dry, it has very little eq and compression done. The second one is a lot more "wet", it uses compression and eq a lot, lot more. Also, I fixed problems coming from poor double tracking that plagued the first one. Between the two, which do you think is better/more...

I have two different mixes that I wanted to have your opinion on. The first takes a pretty minimalist approach to eq/compression, the second uses it more generously. So, which is better, and what should I do to improve the sound further? Mix One: /Users/andrewlandsiedel/Desktop/Broom and Rake...

I have an opportunity to meet with Fat Mike of Fat Wreck Chords (Independent Punk Label) arranged for sometime later in the year. I'm in a high school indie/grunge band with a few other guys. My cousin is Ryan Markley of Old Man Markley (2 year veteran of the label.) He got me backstage at...

Hey everyone, I run a recording studio out of my living room (or my parents' living room, to be more specific.) I have a Tascam interface and a small collection of mics (2 SM-57, an Apex Ribbon mic, two MXL LDCs, a Sterling Pencil, and a Sterling LDC.) The room doubles as my dad's audiophile...
