    SM58s as room mics for guitar amps

    Heya there, quick question I recently started thinking about picking up a Shure SM58 for recording vocals. I have an SM57 as is, and it really lacks as a vocal mic. I was thinking I could use the SM58 mainly as a room mic for my guitar amp (since I record guitar much more often than I record...

    Requesting comments on a metal mix before I start adding vocals

    http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=3317932&q=hi I posted a recording a few days ago that I did quickly to test out new equipment. This is the full version of that clip. I focused on the rhythm, trying to keep the steady, driving dynamic fairly consistant. I may have overboosted...

    How's this for a quick recording

    http://media.putfile.com/copy10 These are two riffs I threw together to test out my new FastTrack. I wrote, recorded, mixed, and uploaded in under an hour, so it's not anything fantastic, but it's pretty decent and I'd still like some comments. Thanks in advance.

    More problems with FastTrack USB

    I have a mixer going into the Line input of my M-Audio FastTrack USB. The levels are all way too low, and the recorded signals are only on the right side. I've fiddled the Line/Instrument switch, the Stereo/Mono switch, and all the knobs and controls in the software. Nothing's helping. All of my...

    Problem with M-Audio Fast Track

    My computer doesn't recognize the device. When I click the M-Audio logo in my taskbar after installing the drivers, it tells me that there's no Fast Track hooked up to my computer. I'm fitting all of the system requirements. Any help?

    Question about a vocal effect [soundclip inside]

    http://s55.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0CWYD7TKHLECC2188XEQBY1ZW0 (sorry about the YSI, Putfile's down right now) This is a clip from The Master's Apprentices, by Opeth. It's got a weird delay effect on the vocals where they start reverberating in before the words are actually said. The way I'd...

    Now this sounds a little better

    http://media.putfile.com/Sanitariumintrorough17 The first half of Metallica's "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)". Still kinda sketchy, but it sounds a hell of a lot better than the vast majority of recordings I've done in the past, and it's all mostly thanks to this forum giving me some great advice...

    I need some serious help on this mix

    http://media.putfile.com/The-Masters-Apprentices-demo This is the first four minutes or so of The Master's Apprentices, by Opeth. The drums and bass are MIDI (When I record the final version, I'll have DKFH drums and real bass), and the guitar parts were recorded on my BC Rich NJ Neckthru...

    n00b phase questions

    Admit it- You didn't know the answer to these questions once too. I'm not new to recording, but I've never quite understood phase issues- when two mics are out of phase, and what have you. How do you tell if two mics are out of phase? I've heard that reversing the phase on one of the mics fixes...
