Hey thanks dude! What you hear in the vocals is the scratch track in the background. We tracked without headphones or anything and i sang into a PA, so that bled into the OHs (a bit too much). In the third verse it gets really bad because i am singing something different... Mike

thanks! I did double the guitar track, then panned the two tracks hard. that and vocals were the only overdubs.

thanks for the comments guys. i might remix a little. anyone else?

Here's a track I just finished. My band recorded the intrumental tracks live off the floor in a local art space where we were rehearsing, and I overdubbed the vocals. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/showthread.php?t=114670#post1182613 I used AT 4047s on OHs, a 4047 on the vocal, 57s on snare...

Yes, you are gonna need a lot of mass in order to stop the bass frequencies from escaping. "Soundproofing" is very hard and expensive. Check out John Sayers' forum for more advice in this regard. Since you are building the studio from scratch you have an opportunity that I have never had, and...

Thank you kindly for your reply. At this point I am not too concerned with isolation, because that is a pretty big boondoggle. The neighbours are always going to be able to hear the drums.... Likewise, it isn't too loud outside, so I am not overly worried about sound coming in. I record...

Would it be too dry, do you think? I've been thinking about this, and I thought that maybe I would need to put some spaced wood panels or something over the insulation in certain spots to liven up the sound. The gable ceiling wouldn't be insulated, either, so that would make the room a bit more...

I am turning an old garage into a little studio space. The space is probably about 25 x 15 with a gable ceiling. Right now the room is far too wet, so I am considering different options for broadband room treatment. I know, of course, of the use of rigid fiberglass insulation for this purpose...

No one with a comment?

http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=4959&alid=-1 There, that should work.

This one is a driving song that I've been working on for the past few days. It's called "Black Ribbon". I played all the instruments and engineered it myself. I used all sub-$100 mics. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=4959&a lid=-1 Cheers, Mike

Remix! Some synth parts have been cut, and the vocal has been boosted. --Mike

ya, myspace is generally terrible in every way.

I used all sub $130 (Can) mics for this recording -- the SP B1, MXL 990, and 57. I finished it yesterday. I wrote it in the morning and then recorded it in the afternoon in my basement. I play all the instruments. It's called "Don't Miss Your Ship"...

So you're saying boost around 8k type of thing? Drop around 16k+?

OK, I boosted the low end on the kit and bass a bit more. Cheers

I basically fixed the bass. When I DIed it I boosted to much low mids around 120 hz and not enough lows around 80 hz, so I rectified that. The drums are a pretty simple set up-- two shite condensers in XY about 7 feet in front of the kit at head level, with a 57 on snare and a beta 58 on kick...

OK a new mix is now up adressing all of your concerns. Sound better?

The bass is a tad low, I guess. The spacey thing is my Roland JX 3P synth. I've been running it through my Marshall JCM 800 lately... I love it! I recorded everything in my untreated basement. Mics used include SP B1, MXL 991, SM57 and Beta 58. All through my Delta 1010 soundcard. Cheers...

Hey guys, I'm pretty stoked about this recording that I did yesterday. I did it with real shitty gear in a real shitty basement, but I'm pretty happy with the result. Take me down a notch if you see fit :) The song is called Hot Sparks...
