Wow that's higher than I've ever gone, I'll have to try that. I go about 30" above the cymbas, but my kit is a bit of a lowrider, so i guess 30" above a higher mounted kit could reach 6 or 7'
Carter is one of my favorite drummers, no doubt about that, but does anyone else think he (and sometimes the rest of the band)overplays a bit?
For example the fingerpicked guitar verses in "The space Between" where he plays between the ride and the hi-hats, and Lessard is doing some...
How about cake? unconventional lyrics, yet DAMN good songs.
Or Tenacious D? I know they are a comedy routine, but there is some serious musicianship to talk about with "The D"
oh and here's a bump for tom lerher too, what a genius!
Someone who I consider a reliable source told me that "moog" is pronounced as rhyming with "vogue." I always pronounced it phoenetically. Can anyone clear this up for me?
When I had a tascam 4 track (I think I was 14), I remember being so dissappointed that I needed a tape recorder to make mastered copies. I never bought one though, I just "permanently borrowed" one from the singer in my band. ;)
Iomega 100 MB zip disks are on sale at radio shack for $2.97! Stock up before they become (more) obsolete! Just don't buy them in Southwest Florida, because that's my turf! Happy hunting!
I bought one used for $300 and I am very happy with the features. I don't use the onboard effects; when I record drums I pre mix them and send them to the BR-8 through the RCA's, and I do all my mastering on my computer. Basically I use it just for easy multitracking and use my other gear for...
I have no problem with my behringer mixer; in fact I quite like it, but I don't think I would buy something that affects tone or anything very sophisticated from them, like an amp or a condenser mic.
sighhhh... welcome to my world. I have a budget bass with a great tone but a monster buzz. I plant my pinky on the metal knobs and that does the trick. ;) My bass is usually so buried in the mix that no one can hear the buzz anyway...sighhh I guess it's time to spring for a real stingray....
it's in the gain
I found that when I record distorted guitars, I turn the gain down a lot more than when I play live. I know this is unorthodox, especially for punk, but a clear note is more important than ballsy distortion, at least to me. Also try lowering the midrange; I like a lot of bass...
When mastering, how important is it that my R and L levels are matching all the time? For example, is there is a part in a song where the R guitar doesn't play, should I compensate somehow for the higher level on the Left side, or does it even matter?
