I'm using an el-cheapo 233mhz pc clone machine to access the web. One minute I was hearing downloaded sound files, and now I can't even get my CDs to play. not even Microsofts Cd player will work. Any wizards out there with some advice? Thanx.....Hitman.:confused:

can anyone tell the difference between a drum (any drum) with only 8 lugs as opposed to 10 lugs on pro level kits? Normally pro snares and kik drums have 10 lugs. But my starclassics only have 8. Does anyone (with the super accurate hearing) know of a difference in sound under the mics? just...

Do any of you fine folks have a portable studio......one that can travel to any room you find suitable to record in? In all my travels I've come across some fine living rooms with killer acoustics. I always say to myself, "this room would sound great to track drums or vocals in!" I have this...

I'm new at this genre of mp3. I'm trying to figure out a way to get my productions online. I haven't got a clue what software I need. Do I need a mac? A pc? All my stuff is recorded on 2" tape, burned onto dat then onto a cd. But how do I get al you wonderful people to hear it? Hitman...

Is there an economical way to reproduce the sound of a drumset through the preamps of a neve board. aside from buying a $250,000 board? Are there any multiple preamps rack units to fatten up the sound before it hits my computer?

has anyone ever seen and engineer mic each and every cymbal? I just did. There must have been four re-20's up there plus two pzm's on a big ass boom stand. Is this a common technique?

hey recording engineer, if you're reading this, remember the thread about the faulty mc012 level? well i tried what you said and ran all mics into my mackie vlz pro...well you were right about the guitar centre thing. it was a faulty mic. the two mics are identical (for overheads), but the gain...

WHOA! I just listened back to a take we tracked a couple of days ago. I remember throwing up a couple of busses for vocals and snare reverb. Does anybody know what the illusion is at the time of pre-mixxing that causes your mixes to sound over reverberated after a good night's rest...or did I...

our studio runs a g4 mac with protools, a digidesign 1622 i/o and a motu midi time piece. this thing has a mind...or two of its own. we've followed the manuals set-up guide, but this thing just does what the hell it wants. any body familiar with the MOTU midi time piece? HITMAN.

how many passes does it take for you to achieve a final mix after tracking is complete. and does anybody record and mix on the same session, or do you like to empty the mind first? HITMAN.

I just briefly skimmed over the massive four page thread about favorite drummers. But since we are a community of recording artists, let me recommend some studio drummers for y'all. 1. John J.R. Robinson. you know you've heard him if you have a radio. He's is absolutely the top call session cat...

does anyone know the general technique for achieving the famous transistor radio mix in vocals. you know the squashed distorted sound put mainly on vocals for creative equalization. e.g. Soundgarden's "Spoonman" when he sings "all my friends are brown and red". HITMAN.

does anybody have any tips on getting a tight reggae drum and bass mix? aside from getting the Barret Brothers themselves. my bass tracks come out sounding to ROCK for a reggae track. please keep in mind i want to record the bass tight so i don't have to futz with the mix too much after the...

these mics sound good on stage. but plugged into the vs 1880 they have no body. i tried using the mic simulators in the vs but that sounded like shit. worse than digital distortion. any advice on these mics as overheads? i've been spoiled by my buddy's nt1's and his pro tools set up...

I have been working on a vs 1880. i did not purchase it (my bass player did), and with it he was sold on a pair of octava mc 012's. I have accepted the fact that the sales person(who shall remain nameless...and is no "ANGEL") just wanted to sell the "schlock" he had in stock. now i have to deal...

My band has a pair of oktava mc 012's which i use as overheads. however they came with no literature (actually our keyboardist forgot them in Miami) can anyone tell me what the -10db capsules are for? i know they are pads but what are the (dis)advantages of using them? or when should i use them...

can anyone help me with my ears? i have a yamaha kit (like Carter...you know who), and i've just entered the digital experience (vs 1880) but my toms go "poooonnngg" in the playback. i want them to go "doooom" like my ears hear them aurally. is it a mid-sweep technique, or a compression thing...
