I have been trying to fine tune mic placement for soft vocals and essentially duplicate the recording for Chris Rice's Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus). My attempt is to learn to record soft passages effectively. I recorded the opening verse and compared it to a spectrum analyzer of the actual song...

http://www.easygardener.com/EGPCatalog/html/weedblock.htm Its called weedblock, and those of you who garden know it is a pourous plastic mesh (polyethylene) that is breathable and lightweight. It's cost effective too. I found a 50ft roll by 4ft wide for only $17.95 at home depot. That's...

I want this thread to throw out all subjectivity. Concentrate on the meat and potatoes of your favorite recordings. I completely do not agree with the importance that some of the audiophiles on this forum place on the equipment or tools used to record music at home. This is your chance to...

I'm in the dillemma that I'm really not quite sure how to get vocals to be soft in the mix yet distict. I'm trying to attain all the clarity of having no effects with the softness that modern rock vocals attain. In other words, every pro record out there has a certain effect on the vocal that...

I'm having trouble compressing vocals to make them sound natural. They are very dynamic meaning the soft words show up at about -25db and the loud parts come in around -10 or -5. Compressing the track is giving the words which have explosives too much bass. Its not really bad, just something...

I have a couple of these that I got a guitar center...I paid like 60 a piece for them. Is there anyone out there online that sells these things? I love them. I've never seen a more sturdy easier to work with stand out their. I never have to worry about dropping several hundred dollar mics. I'm...

I've had a pair of 20/20s for a few years and decided to get a self powered monitor in the tr8s about a year or two ago again. I can't use them. Bass never sounds muddy no matter how much I add. I can't mix on these things for shit. There are only two possible explanations for this. The room or...

I have heard of a technique to tighten heavy tracked guitar parts with a linked gate by using a single source to trigger the gate for all the other tracks. My problem is I don't know how to do this with the gear that I have. How do a run a stereo sub mix into the gate but only control the gate...
