Are you sure you are just highlighting the track you want to insert the file into? Sometimes I highlight multiple tracks by mistake and that messes things up.

Don't forget to rule out a faulty mic cable.

Well, it'll make a difference. The question is do you want that difference captured forever by your computer? I save EQ for the mixing process and mess with mic positioning before tracking to capture the sound I am after, sans EQ.

At this point, you are best off just experimenting and messing around. You can find some EQing guidelines like, "On elec guitar, try boosting 2.5kHz for more sizzle." and the like. and thats all fine and dandy, but really a lot of the way EQ is used is different from project to project. What...

Hey dude, welcome to the board. I've heard the B1 is a decent mic. and lots of folks use those little euromixers. I've got that interface for my laptop and it's OK, but it is 16bit and if you get serious at this at some point you are gonna want to move up to a 24bit interface. It seems like...

I always thought you got decent snare sounds, but whatever.:D Do you get a lot of hat in your snare track?

Yes. It makes the pick WAY easier to hang on to. You just need one hole in the center, just about the diameter of a pencil.

i think he's just saying that tubes might not respond quick enough to the transient, and might "smear" the attack a little bit. it certainly won't hurt the tubes. their are tubes in some mic pre amps, right? not a problem there.

I remember giving my old drummer tapes of me playing guitar (from a crappy tape deck) and he thought there were drums on the tape too. It was all the percussive notes I used in between chords. he always knew when to hit the snare! I swear there is a deftones song with a phone ringing in it, and...

I hear ya! I live in a noisy neighborhood and I have to crank up the volume so much for dialogue, then some music kicks in and BAM! And I always get real pissy when I miss dialogue in a movie, I mean they're telling a story, I might want to hear this stuff!

well, just as long as we are gettin' good grip from the 50 series tires.

"The 808 kick drum making girlies dizzy..." - Sir Mix-a-Lot

128 or 192, well yeah if you download a mp3, but if you sample off the CD it would be better. there are a lot of loop sites out there like loopgalaxy.com, just google "drum loops" some sites want you to register, most don't.

the boomy kick that kicks in every couple of bars on "comfortable liar" sounds a lot to me like the triggered samples korn uses. you could always sample the kick or of "dead bodies everywhere" on follow the leader, the intro is just that kick by itself.

i think that's hard to say, while most of the audio students at the college I went to could fall into catagories(stoners, computer geeks, indie rock guys, hip hoppers) some really tried hard to get good marks and pick the instructors' brains. And mixing isn't everyone's "thing". A lot of guys...

Cheeky Monkey, It sounds like a good fit, you know what you are getting into. There are a lot of threads out here about going to school to get a job as a recording engineer, and that is an entirely different discussion. I would think you would get some sort of college level credit out of the...

I like masteringhouse's idea a lot. but as far as numbers go, i was taught that the telephone signal had nothing below 300Hz and nothing above 3000Hz. And when I say nothing, I mean nothing, no slopes. I experiemented and it's definitely true, but you need a filter that will do this, a plugin...

quite true, listening to my old mixes can teach you -how NOT to mix the bass guitar loud as heck by way of using cheap speakers to monitor that have poor low end response - how NOT to record vocals thru a guitar amp with spring reverb on - how NOT to go with a first take is the best take...

dude, grohl can do more with one pedal and one foot than the disturbed guy can with his whole kit. And what's so fresh about the disturbed style? a guy playing double kick drum is about as new as a guy with a mullet.

Re: hey Jimbo Jones OK, i think i understand what you are trying to do here. try a little something like this... -play the track by itself, watch the meters, what is the average level of the track, what are the levels of the peaks? -use the dynamics processing plugin under the amplitude menu...
