Have you tried parallel bus compression i.e send all the drums to a buss, then have a send from that buss to separate buss with the compressor on. That way you can turn the compressed buss up or down to taste. Alternatively, depending on what compressor you're using on the drum buss, some have a...

I was about to suggest the Stillwell stuff! The Major Tom is pretty cool, and the Vibe EQ is wicked. The Waves CLA are nice and do what they do well. I've never had the honour to play with the real thing but the plugins alone make me want to even more than i already did. I've said it before...

^^^This was gonna be my suggestion^^^ - omni directional, super small to hide away in the corner of a room or something, pretty sensitive. And as others have a said, a little mixer would make sense if the software can only detect one mic source. Although nothing fancy something like this would...

Welcome to the club :D I think i'm done for a while but it won't last :P I've only done very, very simple mod's on my two ribbon mics; an Apex 205 (well, an Alctron HRM8b but they're the same thing) and a Fame "Classic" ribbon (which is the Nady RSM-4 i think). On both i just removed the...

Ahmen to that! The guitarist in my last band did exactly this for the "punkier" sounds and then used a big muff pi for the meatier stuff. Saying that the other guys i know who've owned rats have all sold them now. One replaced it with a digitech hot head that he modded, one went for a Fuzz Face...

Sorry if this is obvious but was the sample you heard a raw recording or one that had been edited/EQ'd/Compressed with some reverb/delay? Was it also just an acapella track or in a mix? As i said, I'm sorry if this sounds daft, it's always just worth baring in mind how different you can make a...

Hey man, welcome to the boards. I've not used the audiobox but i've got the firestudio mobile and am more than happy with the built in preamps. I think the ones in the audiobox are different but i don't know by how much but i doubt there would be a huge difference. Seeing as both the NTK and K2...

Yeah, it was very late and it's an odd analogy but i'm glad it made some sense in the end :) Well, tbh, all tools can be useful but, bare in mind, to use compression for each channel you would ideally want a separate compressor on each channel rather than using an aux send for it as you'd...

Ahh, ok cool, i did get confused when you said there were internal effects as i didn't remember seeing them but on the updated photo they're clear as day :) In which case, yes you would use the "Aux Out" to the TC-helion. Tbh i don't know the desk but on some on a stereo channel if you plug...

I may be wrong/may be missing the point but if you want to use the TC-helion just for reverb/delay effects than it's fairly easy. If you want to use it for the compression/autotune/EQ (depending on model) across both mics then there would probably be a problem. To use it just for...

I'd agree with moresound and Randy about the U87 and 4-710, and add; Teletonix LA-2a AKG C12 EDIT: Maybe not a C12, maybe a ELAM 250

If it's this bundle then yeah it's pretty cool. the NT1a is a pretty versatile mic although it can be a little bright. However, if it's the original Rode NT1 without the "a" (the original is matt grey rather than silver) then jump on it with both hands! those things are flippin' awesome!

A friend of mine called me a "Mic Junky" the other day :eek: He was totally right but still. I don't know what it is about mics that makes me lust after them soooo much. I ended up picking up the CK1 and some other gear so i'm now back to adding mic's to my "wish list" until funds allow

:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: Don't let the door hit you on the way out I remember going to Russia with school and the hotel we were staying in had a CD store in the basement.... 50c per CD, 25 CD's for $10, everything was copied and there were a lot of albums not available in the stores yet...

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thought that. Tbh i've only ever done a bit of drum doubling with samples and have never gone full out and replaced stuff but the doubling has been well worth it. Saying that, Logic does make it super easy to do with the two click drum replacement thing that...

It does depend on the song but i usually do a guide track of guitar and vocals to a looped midi drum beat. I then do; Drums Bass Guitar Percussion Any lead bits Vocals Backing vocals I like to have tracked as possible before doing the vocals so that the whole vibe of the song is there for the...

Are you looking for USB or Firewire or either? As Jimmy said the Tascam gets solid reviews. The Presonus Audiobox 1818vsl seems pretty cool as a USB interface and the focusrite saffire pro 40 is awesome as a firewire interface (the two headphone outs are mega useful)

I had a very quick listen on my laptop speakers so will have a proper listen tomorrow on my monitors but my initial reaction is both yes and no. The screamed vocals on the first track sounded fine. The melodic vocals on the second track seemed ok. However the melodic vocals on the first and...

Question - what software (DAW) are you using to record in to? Are you recording rap vocals to pre-made beats or are you making the beats as well? Generally speaking it's much easier and, to some extent safer, to add effects like EQ or compression once you've recorded the vocals. So, as chili...

That is very weird! It's slightly disconcerting that thomann aren't stocking it anymore which make me think more and more that James has a point - maybe they have simply discontinued it! :eek: Where's Mr Joly when you need him, he's usually very much in the know for this kinda thing
