    Micing a grand in less than perfect conditions.

    I'll probably need help from the pros on this one, but if ANYONE can help, I'd be much obliged. ;) I've taken an entire week off of work to record and now it's time to get serious. I'm going to be recording 11 original tracks of which 9 are piano driven. I have a 6' Baldwin grand (should be...

    Take it easy, it's my first time.

    Okay ladies and gents . . . I submit for your consideration an OLD song of mine called "Whispers" that I dug up recently. This is an incomplete mix in that I'm going to be adding some rhythm acoustic guitar very soon. Also, the beginning is empty and seems a bit long, but I just need to...

    Opera-ish/Theatrical-style vocals??

    If any of you have seen a musical or an opera, you'll know what I'm talking about. Have any of you recorded those type vocals?? When the singers hit a lot of those notes, there is some tremendous volume going on there. . . . obviously some compression would be in order, but what about gain...

    I'm selling a CEB-3 bass chorus pedal on ebay for much less than the going price. The pedal is $62.99 at Musicians Friend and my reserve is MUCH lower. It's in perfect mechanical and cosmetic condition. Some of you may want to check it out...

    Does this exist??

    Is there a sort of "virtual effects unit" out there that supports VST and DirectX plugins? Here's what I'm thinking: :confused: This would be a program that you could sync up to another program such as a multitrack recording program. It would be a stand alone program, but would work in...

    Spirit Folio FX8

    Anyone here who's used this board, please tell me what you think of it. I've searched the bbs for it, but I've only found fleeting mentionings of it. :( (I guess that could mean that not many people have used it.) Anyway this is the board that I've been looking at buying and I'd like...

    In the coming moments, I'm going to pull all of the hair out of my head.

    Okay peeps, I'll admit it . . . . I'm a piano player through and through but I'm no stranger to bass. I've been playing bass on and off for about a year. About six months ago I bought a Rogue violin bass because I think it's one of the best looking basses there is (the violin style that is...

    Violin Bass CASE

    Could someone here PUHLEEZE help me find a hardshell case for a violin bass (like Paul McCartney's)?? Not a rectangular case. A molded one like the old Hofner cases. I've checked eBay and about every online merchant, and I just can't find it. Help me out if you can. Thanks, --Tax :D

    Akg C535eb

    I saw James Taylor using this mic on stage once and I couldn't believe how good he sounded. But then again, he IS James Taylor and would probably sound good singing into a tin can, but I digress. I was wondering if any of you have used this mic and what you'd have to say about it. I'm...

    Old Roland Piano (HP2900-G)

    Roland HP 2900-G Ok guys and dolls, here's the cunundrum: I have an old (mid nineties) Roland digital piano model number HP2900-G. This thing is a little out of date, but I still love the piano tone on it. It's one of Roland's stationary type pianos with the onboard speakers, etc. Anyway...

    EQ program????

    If what I am looking for exists, it will be a wonderful thing!! ;) Is there a program out there solely for the purpose of EQing?? I don't need the recording part of the software. I already have that. I'm basically looking for a mixing board in a computer program. And here's the catch . ...

    This weekend . . .

    A friend and I are going to be doing some CRUDE recording just for fun (because I don't have my setup yet). We are going to be recording some "mysterious" sounding material so the crudeness I think may add to the song. Aaaah, hell, it probably won't sound good at all, but it'll be recording...

    Werewolves of London

    Okay, so this thread may be a little out of place, but I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it. I thought about the Cave, but this is about recording, so here it will call home. I was listening to the song "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon today and as soon as it came on I thought...

    "Live" sound from a module or synth?

    Okay, here it is . . . Is it possible to get a real "live" (or close to it) sound out of a drum machine or module?? If so, what are the tricks? I want my bass drum to stick ppl in the ribs, know what I mean? I want a crisp hi-hat and snare. Also, if I'm using a synth's drums...

    Lexicon MPX-xxx A/D D/A converters.

    Okay folks, here it is. With my planned setup, I'm going to be using a recorder with 24 bit A/D D/A converters. I'm looking at two different effects units, the Lexicon MPX-100 and the MPX-500. The 500 (ringing in at about 400 bucks) has 24 bit A/D D/A converters as well. The 100 (coming...

    AKG D 3900

    Does anyone know ANYTHING about this mic. I literally FOUND it in great condition and I don't know a thing about it. It isn't present on AKG's site (which sucks, by the way). If anyone knows anything about it, lemme know. It's a handheld muc with hi and lo cut switches on it. Lemme know...
