Give it a listen and let me know what you think... To give you an idea of what I was thinking during the mix process: This song has a long intro with alot of toms, so I went for a clicky in-your-face tom sound, almost like a kick drum. I went for thick, upfront and dry guitars with alot of...

Hey guys, Lately I've been getting sick of only being able to practice at certain times in the day because of noise and roomates, neighbours, etc. and I have been thinking about getting a cheap electronic drum kit that I could play at any time of the day or nite. Im gettin an approx 800$ tax...

Hey, Ive been working on my bands demo for awhile now and I think I'm almost done. I have finished mixing one of the songs and I think its complete. There are a few lines the lead singer has to retrack, but other than that I think I'm all done. If someone could lend an outside ear and tell me...

Hi, im about to record my bands demo so im asking any last minute questions before i go in there. This ones about the use of a far mic on a guitar amp. First of all, I am using a SPB1 as a far mic for the amp, and it has never sounded good unless it is close-miking a quiet amp ... but anyways...

Im curious as to what it going on here? to get my snare loud enough alot of times i crank it up like +8dB (in my recording program ... which is sonar 4 PE) and sometimes it'll reach almost +10dB and i wont hear any distortion or "popping" or anything at all. Its clearly clipping ... so is it...

Hi guys, Im going to attempt my first big recording in a couple weeks; the first demo for my band. I have two rooms in which i could record in and im not sure which would be better; I was hoping some of you guys could help me out. Its a fairly basic question i think. Ive heard all about square...

Hi, I remember reading somewhere that the pres on the m-audio omni studio breakout box are just dmp2 pres. I also remember reading somewhere that the difference between the dmp2 and dmp3 is just some added meters and shit but the pres are the exact same. Is this true? If not, then does anyone...

Hey, I was listening to some Thelonious Monk tonite on headphones while studying (a big change from the normal hardcore and metal i always listen to) and I noticed that the panning used in these songs is huge. Drums almost always way left, usually so is the bass. Main flute, trumpet, etc. panned...

Hi everyone, Im wanting to increase the tracks i can record simultaneously, and im definitely on a budget. Right now im using a mackie 1202 into a delta44. I keep hearing good things about the firepod, but its a little outta my price range. I am thinking im just going to get another delta44...

this is basically a post to finster, but anyone else who can help out too, feel free. i will post a guitar track in the next day or two ... i recorded a marshall MG250DFX with only a sennheiser e609 silver and an spb1 thru a mackie1202 into a delta44. ive been fu(%ing around for a while and this...

Hi everyone, I am back looking for some helpful advice. This is only the third song ive ever put together, and the first song ive done with guitars and bass. The first two I thought were great and I posted them on here and they were ripped apart. This one ive spent weeks playing with it and...

Hey everyone, I'm moving into a new place in september and im not sure what room i should use for recording. i'll be recording drums, guitar, bass, and most likely vocals all in this room. i have two options: room one - its an "L" shape, very small, a window that creates the possiblity...

hey, im setting up a home studio and already have two LDC's for overheads and a kick mic and now am in need of a good snare/guitar cab mic. we will be playing metal. originally i was going to go with the sm57 but from reading on here i think i could probably do better for not much more $$. a...

whats up everyone last time i had just received my first pieces of recording equipment (2 condensers, mixer and soundcard) and i recorded a tune right away and posted it on here. i thought it was awesome ... turns out it wasnt nearly as good as i thought and it was ripped apart by everyone...

Hi, This is my first real mix, and I havent been doing this for very long. Im just gettin into buying recording shit too so my setup is still pretty weak, but here it is: im recording pearl export drums and a cheap casio keyboard with two SP B1's, an imitation 58 on kick, and an old akg d40s i...

Hi, i just started using sonar 4 producer edition and when i try to use the metronome for a click track sonar records the metronome clicks as well. i am using shitty realtek integrated audio, which i am thinking is the problem. i am getting the m-audio delta 44 interface soon. will this solve...

i am thinking of getting a guy to throw the korg ma-30 digital metronome in with some other stuff im buying off him to use for a click track for drums. i was hoping someone out there had some experience with it and could tell me if it'll help or not. i just dont wanna buy the thing and have it...

Hi, im not too sure what would give me the best results with overhead placement. i will have a 57 on the snare, d112 or d6 on kick, and two sp b1's as overheads. the b1's will be the only thing miking the cymbals and toms. i have seen several ways to position sdc's as overheads, but never how...
