    a question for you fine folks....

    I know you guys know a lot about what you like and I'm working at a music store right now trying to find out what brands we should carry. It's kinda hard for us right now because we're a mom and pop store and guitar center is right down the road, so when we start to carry more brands, I want...

    just got my sp vtb1 preamp.. questions

    the preamp seems to be just fine for vocals but it makes the guitar sound very harsh when im using distortion. i tried messing with mic placement and the tube blend but i can't seem to get a good distorted guitar sound from it. I'm micing a marshall halfstack with a shure sm57 and running...

    phase cancellation, proper mic setup

    I need to know if there's any exact measurements for mic placement to avoid phase cancellation on a drum track. I'm going to be using two overheads, sm57 on snare, kick inside the head, and clip on tom mics. I've got a studio projects vtb1 coming in the mail and it has phase reverse on it but...

    how to get more crack in the snare

    what are some tips you guys have to help bring out the crack in the snare. I really want it to sound big and so i know to boost the 200 hz but to have more crack, i'm at a loss. ive got an sm57 to mic it and it sounds ok but not powerful enough.

    so some of you might remember that a few months ago i posted a link to my myspace site and it had some mixes on there that i recorded in my room. Now my band has recorded with someone whos taken an interest in us and luckily is recording us for the fun of it. I just posted a completely raw...

    ok so i think i've improved on my mixing

    of course there's always something new to learn in the world of recording and thats probably why i like it so much. I think in the past few months i've learned a lot and I'm pretty proud of my new song. I only had a fostex mr8, cheap fender mics, and an mxl 990 running through an alesis 3630...

    got some new songs up on site ( need input)

    www.myspace.com/randomeffect let me know what you think they need. I hear other songs on myspace and they don't seem to have a grainy sound when recorded properly but mine do sooo, I guess I'm doing something wrong. It doesn't sound that way in the actual mix but once on myspace it degrades the...

    I need opinions on my mix

    Im recording a Cd with my band and i need some feedback from anybody who has any advice to give. I'm not expecting full commercial quality with this mix because I'm not using an expensive preamp. just an alesis 3630. Mics are sm 57, cad kick mic, mxl 990 condenser and cheap fender used for...

    recording drums on the mr8

    i want to be able to record at least 3 separate drum tracks into the mr8 but it seems i can only have two inputs at a time. I want to have the snare, kick and overheads all separate but it seems this is impossible with this console unless i'm missing something really big. If so, i will feel...

    alesis 3630 compressor

    Hello everyone. I just purchased an alesis 3620 rackmount compressor in hopes that it will eliminate the unwanted noise that i'm hearing in my recordings. I plan to go from the carvin mixer that i have into the compressor before the signal is ran into my fostex mr8. anyone have any experience...
