    doubled guitars start to phase!?!?

    I recorded these songs, and I recorded the guitar part twice, and planned on hard-panning each to the left and right, and when I recorded everything into Cool Edit, everything sounded alright. But Then, I started to mix at a buddy's house w/ a Pro Tools set-up, and when I mixed down, all the...

    Slingerland cocktail set?

    Yeah, that is what I thought about the cocktail set, but it just looks so damn neat I head to at least ask.

    Slingerland cocktail set?

    I play guitar, and can keep a beat or two on drums, but have never owned a set. I have a little money (450$, I need about 100 for cymbals too!) saved up and now I'm looking to buy a drum set to have fun with/jam with buddies/ record basic stuff on...

    2488 - anybody tried it?

    95% (or more) of the people on this board do not need 192kHz. I can't see how it will make much of a difference when most people are using monitors under 500 dollars anyways.

    pay to get songs mixed or mastered?

    Well I've looked around at local little studios (mostly just guys with protools rigs) and it doesnt seem THAT bad. Would anyone on the board like a small side project? All the files start at 00:00 so they shouldn't be hard to put into any program. Someone with a nice home set-up is fine with...

    pay to get songs mixed or mastered?

    I have 3 songs almost recorded for my alternative quasi hardcore band (total time around 17-18 min, and about 12 tracks a song). I don't have a "real" set of monitors, but I am still semi-comfortable with mixing my music. I was wondering what you all think is more important. Sending the songs to...

    Mixing loud vocals in a soft song

    I play in a band with 2 guitars, bass, and drums. The guitar style is very slow and spacey, and to really push that fact I've panned the guitars hard left and right to their own side. We have 3 vocalists all doing their own thing, and it can be very abrasive at times (think earlier fugazi)...

    Spectre Sound - song from the new studio!

    I love the sound of the kick drum. I have heard many people try for that clicky sound, but fail with awful results. My only real deal is with how the vocals sit. I'm fairly comfortable with the genre, but the vocals just don't seem to"blend" with the the rest of the music. The guitar and the...

    Alesis MultiMix 12R

    Channels 1-8 all have inserts. You can use the inserts as firect outs for each channel fo yuor card. I've never used a Behringer, but I can't imagine any cheap 8 channel Behr board sounding better then the Alesis.

    Good muscians make bad equipment sound good.

    My favorite recordings I've ever done, are still of my first band I was in where everything was recorded live with two mics going into my SBL. Just because we were so focused on our performance rather then worrying about mic positions this or AD converters that.

    Alesis MultiMix 12R

    I useit, I got a great deal on one from Musicians Friend when they were selling them for 230$. I'm happy with it. The only other pres I have to compare it to are from my old Mackie that died and a presonus tubepre. I liek it much more the then presonus, and just as good as the mackie. The pres...

    Setting up my headphone-amp (Pt2)

    I had just thought of that, but I can get around that by taking the outs 1&2 from the delta to my mixers ins 9&10. I can control how loud each track is in CEP. So therefore I can control my "main mix" of instruments with the mixer and computer (it's not as easy as I'd like, but it much better...

    Setting up my headphone-amp (Pt2)

    So I should set all the ins and outs to +4? Because I was thinking I'd use balanced cables to bring outs 1&2 into the mixer. So should I set up all the ins and outs to -10 and outs 1&2 to +4? Or theother way around? Or does it not matter?

    Setting up my headphone-amp (Pt2)

    I have an Alesis 12R mixer, a Delta 1010, and I'm going to buy a Behringer HA8000 headphone amp. I will take a 8 channel snake and connect inserts 1-8 from my mixer into ins 1-8 on the delta. Then I will take another 8 channel snake and take outputs 1 & 2 from the delta in the stereo channel of...

    Setting up my headphone amp

    I'm about to buy a behringer headphone amp HA-8000 amp, but before I buy it I want to know what else I'm going to need with it. I'm putting together my set-up to record a 5 piece band. (2 guitars, 1 bass, 1 drummer). Each of the different musicians will have a different mix in their headphones...

    Mackie CR1602 VS Alesis Studio 12R

    I use the 12R for the pre-amps and like it okay. Don't expect anything great, but they are useable.

    New rock song I just finished, what could be better?

    I recorded my friends' band. I think this song came out pretty good. I'd love to hear comments on how it came out, what else I can do better, and what I could change in this mix. http://everytalesirony.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/track06.mp3

    any harcore punk mixmasters here?...:)

    The first thing I noticed was how "BIG" of a sound you got, in "heresy". I love the guitar sound. I don't mind the drums. I don't think they sound great, but they don't sound bad. The only thing bothering me is the vocals. Everyone seemed to like them, but I'd like to hear them a little lower in...

    After a break... more indie rock!!

    My first impression of the mix was that it was very bright. I like the vocals a lot (reminds me of older Thursday) except at about 2:01 when the "can't see" comes in. Those lines just don't seem as "strong" as the other vocal lines. I would also like to hear snare drum up just a little bit. All...

    Does This Sound Commercial?

    The first thing I noticed when I heard the song is the snare. I love how the toms and bass drum sound, but I feel like the snare has no "crack" in it. Like the drummer is playing on a cardboard box. That is just my preference though. The only other thing I'd like to hear is a background vocals...
