My band Lemon Test had the opportunity to go to Nashville, Tennessee and record in 2006 in early April and May. We finally got permission from our producer to release the two tracks which were recorded there. Jim Dineen, our engineer for one day of recording, has also been the engineer for the...

I will be recording a few drum set lessons in the upcoming hours and tomorrow as well. The lessons will take place in a room that measures approximately 12 feet by 14 feet. Two drum sets will occupy this room for the lessons. I would like to record each drum set with multiple microphones, as...

I just recently purchased a used Shure SM57 from a seller on eBay. I received the microphone safely. It is in pretty nice physical condition, however, after shaking the microphone, I've discovered that the capsule rattles. I recorded a short clip of my voice with the microphone (without any...

The room I record in (from what I can tell) does not possess the greatest acoustic properties. I would venture to say that this does not add the greatest element to the sound of recordings, however, it has never been any kind of distraction nor has it been very distinct. I am mainly referring...

My band and I have plans on doing some recording in the upcoming weeks. I own a PreSonus Firepod. However, this time around, I'd like to expand upon individual micing of the drums. In the past we recorded each drum with only one microphone. The entire set-up was this... 1 (Audix OM-2) -...

I am looking to buy a DI box to use with either guitar or bass, but mostly guitar. I am unsure what I should purchase and have done searches on these forums for information, but nothing particularly helpful has come up. There were suggestions of Whirlwind and Countryman DI boxes, but those...

My band, Lemon Test, recorded three songs about seven months ago which were new at the time. These songs were "commercially released" (by us personally) before I ever posted in this forum for criticism on the mixes. Now we are planning to head back into the studio in the upcoming months and we...

I am nearly to the point of having some songs I've recorded fully mixed and will be entering the mastering process. I have a few mastering questions. I am using Cubase SX. 1. For saving a mixdown, should I be saving the audio in its native sample rate (I am using 16 bit 48 kHz audio) and then...

In the upcoming days, I intend to do some rough live recordings with a laptop (via line-in) of "my" band Lemon Test. I intend to do these recordings at 48 kHz, so that they may be matched up with camcorder audio (possibly). I have heard that most sound cards do not actually record above 44.1...

It's been a little while and I did some recording toward the end of September so... Two new (actually over a month old now) tracks from Lemon Test are available for download! Click on the links below to go to a page where the songs can be downloaded, or go to Lemon Test's MySpace or Purevolume...

In the past few months I've entered the world of amateur recording. And by amateur, I mean quite amateur. I have recorded three songs, but they don't sound like I'd like them to. I need help, equipment, and experience. My mics include: MXL MXL990 - 2 MXL MXL991 - 2 Audio-Technica AT2020 - 1...

I will be recording some songs quite soon via PreSonus Firepod and I do not have a compressor (or a computer for it yet, or a band name, but I do have experience). Now, I'll eventually need to purchase one, I would assume, but as far as computer programs go, can good compression be expected...

I plan to begin recording this next month of July. I've all ready recorded one song (which will probably be on this forum once a band name is decided upon), but I intend to re-record that along with recording several other new songs. The first time around on recording, I just kind of winged it...

I have been searching for sometime for a rack case with rear rack rails. My power amps have rear rack mounts, which I have noticed are on other company's amps as well. I have had almost zero luck in finding the appropriate rack case. Should the rear rails be used? Is it necessary? I could...

I have just begun recording with a PreSonus Firepod and have encountered some problems with my computer systems. I managed to record, for the first time, a full song, on an IBM Aptiva computer with an Athlon 550 MHZ computer from 1999 (I think). The song turned out surprisingly well for a...

I am currently using an Apple iBook G4 (1.2 GHZ, I believe) with Cubase LE installed with a PreSonus Firepod. At the moment, I am experiencing two problems. I cannot record in anything other than 44.1 KHZ and play it back in it's native sample rate because the playback sample rate in Cubase...

I am currently recording on a PreSonus Firepod through an Apple G4 iBook and I am experiencing some playback problems in Cubase LE. For some odd reason, I opened the program one day to listen to a project and something had happened to the project. Every track had some kind of pitch shift...

My band has come up with quite a few songs lately and wish to record them. However, there is a problem. We do not have a way to semi-professionally record demos. We would be recording at least 8 tracks simultaneously (which it seems is almost an industry standard for recording methods). The...

Since there is no "General Recording" forum, I'll be placing this here... My band has begun to write songs and we need to record decent demos. We are looking to make a major purchase quite soon into recording and PA equipment. We intend to buy a 24 channel mixer, which will effect what we...

Okay, as I can imagine you will say, recording from the mic input sucks, but, I'm not majorly concerned with the quality of rehearsal recordings, which I actually think sound quite okay. I can't seem to get the line-in to work... Well, anyway, for some odd reason, on the mic input, the right...
