    Can anyone mix a track or two for me?

    I have spent a week trying to eq about 8 minutes worth of music. It's just not working out, and now I finally understand why professionals do what they do. I'm not looking for great quality, I just want to give this to some potential band members. I am using it more as a guitar demo of my stuff...

    Taming distortion...

    I recorded some riffs to give to my band, but the distortion is very thick and has a lot of high end. I was wondering if there were any ways to "tame" the distortion, i.e. lower the gain a little bit without losing dynamics. Also, is there any way to cut high end without losing prescence? The...

    Do you use headphones or monitors for mixing/mastering?

    I am trying to figure out which would give me the most accurate sound reproduction, headphones or monitors. I do not have a set of monitors, but I am running a practice amp of mine as my monitor and it is working out alright. When I use the headphones though, the sound is similar but different...

    Volume issues...need help.

    I started recording with my m-audio duo. It has 2 outs and 2 ins, when recording I use the unit itself as my pre-amp instead of the computer sound card. The problem is the volume on the duo is a lot louder than the stock sound card, so there is quite a volume difference. I burned a cd for my...

    I need a simple but effective way to record my guitar, any ideas?

    Currently I own a shure sm58 as my mic, and a cheap behringer mx602a for the mixer. I then send that to my computers line in. I don't really need the mixer though, I only use it as a preamp to the mic. I am needing other ideas on how I can record my guitar. I only need 1 mic input with phantom...

    Just got my mixer, very dissapointed.

    I bought an sm58 for recording and I bought a cheap behringer 602a. I only want to record guitar and it seems only low-end companies make mixers with the number of inputs I am needing. I really only need to run mic-something-soundcard. The problem with the mixer is that it adds a lot of hiss...

    Mics comparable to sm57?

    I am looking to mic my 2x12 and have found the shure sm57 to be the most recommended. I am trying to keep everything fairly inexpensive so I bought a behringer mx602a mixer (interested to see if it's complete crap or acceptable) for my preamp, and now I need a mic. I am thinking about the 57 but...
