    Cables-signal loss with long cables

    yeah, no need to worry. The only real difference in sound will be the slight phase shift you get from running your signal through a longer run of cable. Even with that in mind, it will only cause problems if you have other mics recording the same source with a significantly shorter or longer...

    Beatles cover - I will

    Sounds great for what you used. This is a great example of how the performance is much more important than the gear used. If the performance is good the mixing seems to do itself, which sounds very nice on this recording. I especially liked the vocal part with the harmonies at the end. Keep...

    does it sound commercial rock?

    I like the song overall, but that hi hat is killing me. There was something about the first acoustic guitar that I didnt like, it seemed a little overdriven or maybe compressed too much? Ditto about that hum at 2:50... I like the bass tone, and a good driving bass part always makes a pop...

    Calling all drunks

    I think the vocal would sound cool with a little more reverb, kinda lonely like... But if you were to do that, id take some reverb off the guitars. I really like the sound of that high strung guitar. That chimey sound is great. I would also bring the other down a little bit in the mix, I...

    No pods and real drums!

    Hey guys, This is my first submission to the mp3 mixing clinic, but dont be afraid to tear into me...I need it. The song is pretty straightforward, but I think its great musically. I only had a few different mics to work with, so everything was done one at a time. Drums: I used a pair of...

    Making a Farfisa organ sound like a HUGE cathedral pipe organ

    Im probably all wrong, but from what I may surmise, the reason an organ sounds the way it does in a cathedral is because of all the reflections off the hard, and very separated walls. So, what I might say would be to try and play the part in a very large and live room, like a gymnasium or other...

    Mojave Audio Tube Mic

    So, I finally got around to trying this out... I ordered the MA-2 kit for my MXL 2001 after reading the review for it in Home Recording Magazine. I must start out by saying that you should know a little bit about soldering and electronics if you decide to do this mod, but you dont have to be an...

    Delta 44 trouble

    Okay, so I think i just figured out my problem... First I had to activate the 2nd VST output in Nuendo, which was to 3/4. Then I realized that this was the Bus 2 output, so I assigned all the tracks I wanted to hear out 3/4 to bus 2. The funny part is that when I do this, I can still hear the...

    Delta 44 trouble

    Yes, if what you are referring to is having "Wav out 3/4" checked under the "H/W out 3/4" column in the patchbay/router tab in the software. The tracks are not on mute either. It seems like it should work, but the meters dont register anything when audio is played, whereas the channels 1 and 2...

    my monitor is killing me!

    A flat panel monitor will cause much less hum, although it will not be gone totally. Of course thats an expensive option...

    Delta 44 trouble

    Hello, I recently purchased a delta 44 soundcard, and everything is working fine, except I cannot get anything to come out of channels 3 and 4 (output). Anybody else have this problem? Anybody know how to fix it? I emailed the tech support, but their solution didn't fix the problem...

    Mogami Cable

    Hello, Im interested in making some of my own Mogami XLR cables with Neutrik connectors. Where would be a good place to get about 100' and what cable would you suggest...theres quite a few different mogami mic cables? Also would you suggest using this same type for making some balanced TRS...

    Has anyone done the MXL 2001 Mojave Audio mod?

    edit: Right Octoruss...pretty much the same thought here The main reason I got the MXL-2001 was because it comes with a 603s and costs 50 dollars less. So for the mod (299) and the Marshall MXL-2001 + 603s (154), I paid 46 dollars less than just the Mojave audio mic (499). Almost enough left...

    Has anyone done the MXL 2001 Mojave Audio mod?

    Im the kind of person who likes the DIY stuff. I've built a couple of Guitar effects boxes as well, and it is very fun. I really am interested in learning more about how a microphone works, and I think this is a good way to do so. I'm not particulary concerned about resale value...if I were...
