Hello all, My question pertains more to a live application but I hope some of you can help me. I have a rack with 3 Marcrotech 2400 amps. Typically we only use two of them, splitting the signal with an XLR Y cable. We are powering 2 18" Subs per amp. I would like to add a single XLR patch to...

I am in the market for a bass amp that pushes around 100W. Seems like company has their version of the same amp with some differences here and there. So, I want to take a poll to see which amps you think are the best and why. The amp will need a line out for bigger gigs, but it should be able to...

The bass player in my band needs a new rig. I borrowed an old ampeg amp from a buddy of mine for a show and it was very similar to this amp - same speaker size and maybe same wattage. He really liked playing on it. The price on this amp is about what he would want to pay. I checked on harmony...

Can anyone tell me where I can get an ATA case for my Fender Deluxe? Under $300 and not ebay

Yo everybody! I am not a drummer myself, but my drummer is. hehe. Anyway... The drummer in my band has some timing issues. Mainly in turns and big fills. He is a very busy player and I think when he gets too fancy he throws it off a little. We slow down on slow stuff and speed up on fast...

I have really been concentrating on brightening up my mixes up with eq. Particularly hi freqs.When do you add eq to really brighten up the sound? Mainly speaking about higher freqs. Is it best to add the bright highs in the mix or leave some headroom on the high freqs for eq in the mastering...

This is not so much a mixing question but an edit question. I thought this would be the best place to post since there is no Pro Tools section of the site. (hint hint) I have done something to my editing capabilities recently and I don't know how to get back to the way things were. At one time...

hey everybody, I am ready to buy new tuning machines for my Les Paul Custom. Any suggestions? I have a Taylor that has Govers and I love them. I am considering those but I can't decide between locking or the standard. I assume that the olny difference is the better gear ratio, but other than...

At this point I have definately learned not to compress the stereo bus! What is a good way to compress in post? Is it just as bad to compress the wav file in a seperate program, like cool edit?

I got to looking around my studio (should be called small space dedicated for recording) and I realized how much stuff I had decorated with to create a mellow enviroment. Sometimes I'll get in there with the lights down and the candles going. Other times I'll have the lights blaring and have...

I was listening to the Black Crowes and I like the what they do with the guitars. Two guitars, one panned full left the other full right. What do you do if you have three guitar tracks? Would you put the guitar solo in the middle or the rythm? This question also applies to vocals. I like to...

Hello all, I have been experiencing a bit of phasing with my drum overhead track. I am running one condenser for the overhead. My drummer does great cymbal work and I would like to really bring it out in the mix but when I bring the volume it creates a small phasing sound. Doesn't sound as bad...

Having learned recording on an all digital rig I have never had answers to some of my analog recording questions. What I would like to know is, in a big studio when running into a large mixing board how can you mix in post. I'll use drums to clarify... You have your high hat on fader 1, kick...

Hi Everybody! I am looking for some advice on how to write a good key change in a song, something simillar to the change in "My Girl",dramatic and lengthy. Any advice will do

When using autotune, is it mostly used in post or is it actually running during the take? Second, just wanted to get some opinions on autotune. I searched for threads on this topic and didn't come up with much. So what is your opionion? Has autotune butchered the free world for vocalists? I do...

help on the mix <cliperooza> I finally found where you can post songs for some feedback. The folks on the other threads wouldn't give me any feedback. Anyway give my band a listen if you can. We'd love some feedback. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/4/jonathanhallandthewickedcohorts.htm

I haven't had any replies to my thread in another section so I thought I would try the songwritters. If you want to give my band some imput on our first recording that would be great! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/4/jonathanhallandthewickedcohorts.htm

I have been hangin around here for a while and I respect a lot of the opinions from the peanut gallery (that's us). I'd love some feedback for our first finished song. Wrote it myself and hooked up with a band and this is what came out. I still have some mixing to do but I think you will get...

I use an AT headphone. I can't recall the model but it's about a forty dollar deal. I have two sets one of which I have used almost everyday for the past two years and cranked up to full volume. If you need anything at a budget price that is durable look at Audio Technica products. I use a...

If the charge of boosting the sound for the sake of volume is a crime the I am guitly as charged. I continue to see Posts from people in the business of mastering that say you ruin the mix by compressing to a certain volume. So how do you folks (masterersersrss) get the quality and volume out of...
