Well apparently it's not just me who thinks this isn't a waste of time... thanks a lot for the helpful replies track rat, tmix, kylen, and the rest of you. I guess that for some kinds of music this is truly unneccessary but for other kinds it is useful. I did the reverse reverb thing, but you...

Hmmm, I'm still going to give it a try. Yes, I can play the part easily, it's a 3 chord song and that isn't the issue. But the tempo comes to a dead stop at parts. Mapping the tempo changes would be very tedious and wouldn't capture the organic feel IMO. Try mapping the tempo in an old Howling...

I've been trying to find the silver bullet to help me record the first few tracks of an overdub-based song with voice, guitar, bass, and a little percussion. The problem (see my recent "bleed" thread) is that I don't want to use a metronome/click track because I want the tempo to change as it...

You didn't say whether you are micing a guitar amp or running the guitar directly into your mixer etc and applying fx via stompboxes or software... The point is that there is a difference between applying EQ before and after nonlinear effects like distortion. It may not be possible to get the...

I guess most people in the US have never heard of John Peel. He's a legendary DJ in England though. He actually came to the US for a period in the early 60's and did some broadcasting in Texas, before returning to the UK and getting in on the ground floor of BBC Radio 1, where he stayed until...

Hey, thanks so much for all the replies. The diversity of suggestions and philosophies has really helped me out. I guess I'll "bite the bullet" and record separate rhythm guitar and vocal takes. It's a compromise but I guess that's what chessrock's comment was really about. Like I said before...

I had a similar problem (but not neccessarily due to the same thing obviously) which might interest you. I have an outboard Edirol UA-20 USB audio interface. I use a little switchbox to choose between it's output and the output of the computer's built-in sound card. I was getting a buzz in my...

I used to listen to Peel every week online (before he sadly passed away), and caught a lot of his sessions plus his live sets at his house. I think most of the peel sessions are recorded in a BBC studio, with access to some pretty high-grade gear and engineers. Can't give any more details, but...

---------------- But really the ideal way out of this is to bite the bullet and record both separately. if it's that you can't play the guitar well enough without singing try singing it in your head or whispering. if its that you can't sing well without playing guitar, then record the guitar...

I'm trying to record a single take containing my vocal and electric guitar at once. Unfortunately, the vocal mic is picking up a lot of pick noise from the guitar. That's a problem if I try to pan the vocal away from the electric guitar! To try to reduce the amount of pick noise reaching the...
