@ crystal_andersn Thanks for the advice, I probably wouldn't have even thought of that. That's actually a good idea.

Okay...I understand what you're saying. What would you guys recommend to me for a drum mic? Say if I was going to put it through an RNP Pre amp, which was mentioned. Or if not an RNP, the mics that you guys have mentioned that you really like, what is it that you are putting them through...

@chrisghost I don't really like the internal preamps either, but whenever I mention this, I am told that I should be happy with them and able to make good recordings with them and that if I am not able to, it is my own fault. Pretty much everyone has told me that the mics are more important than...

Well I don't actually own a pre. I record with a Tascam digital portastudio 2488, and it has built in pres so I sometimes use those, but not always. I don't have much equipment at all. For vocals, I have the mic into the pre amp in the Tascam. Or, I put the mic through a mixer amplifier, into...

Those are good...thanks for posting. Have you guys seen the movie The Runaways? What did you guys think of it?

I have been using a PVi4 cardioid dynamic mic for, well pretty much recording everything. Christmas is coming and I was thinking about just asking for money to purchase some much needed new mics. I've been looking at a Shure SM7B for a vocal mic. I don't know too much about this stuff, I feel...

Thanks RAMI for the link, I read the article when I was trying to find info about their drums, appreciate it, and thanks everyone for the replies. I figured there was going to be Gary Glitter jokes, I almost didn't post his name. As I posted earlier, I found an interview where Joan said they...

Sorry about that...you are right. I just assumed everyone would know their songs. I guess this would be a really good example of what I mean. Joan Jett- do you wanna touch me - YouTube

Does anyone have any idea how to achieve the drum sound on Joan Jetts first couple albums, or Gary Glitters? They seem to have a similar low end to them. When I searched around online for any information, I could only find a hint from Joan Jett who stated that they did not use any compression on...

@showstone If it makes you feel any better I appreciate your response, and would like to check out the links you posted, however, the dropbox ones aren't working for me.

No, I did not read that, but thanks for pointing it out to me. I'm reading it now. Thanks you guys for replying. @saads A lot of people recommend SM57s, but then a lot of them also say they are really great but only if you're in a studio setting and not so good if recording at home. I've only...

I am sure these questions have come up over and over...sorry. Can you guys please advise me of how I can record drums? I'm really unhappy about the sound I am getting and I know that I could certainly improve it somehow. I don't think I can do anything about the actually room because of...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. Would you please recommend some monitor headphones for recording. I've never used a pair of these before, but I would be using them with a digital Tascam recorder and maybe a Fostex 4-track...I don't know if that matters or not. I am...

@Re-tox_stl Yes, I know what you're sayin'. Can you recommend a recording mic for me than?

So the mic that I use would be more important than ANY kind of preamp? Well, if that is true, I'm glad I am finally learning this...better late than never I guess. I use a PVi4 cardioid dynamic mic, which I liked when I used it on a 4-track, but now with my digital 24-track Tascam...I'm not...

@skuthepoo & aaronmcoleman Thanks for the info guys, I know the room sound, mic placement etc. is important but since a preamp from what I hear is essential in the recording chain and I've been going without it, it sounds like I've been fooling myself thinking I can record without one. I don't...

@mixsit Thanks again for your quick replies. Yes, you are correct about that. It does have a preamp, but...I don't know, I'm just not happy about the recordings I've made with the Tascam. The effects come out sounding really digital to me, I almost rather just use my 4-track. I've been thinking...

@Absolutepower Thank you for your suggestion. That sounds pretty good, I'll check that out. @mixsit I guess I was thinking cleaner and louder. From what I hear, a preamp is an essential part of the recording chain. Is there something else you have in mind for me, I wouldn't mind hearing. I...

Would you guys please recommend a preamp. I'm not very skilled when it comes to recording and I almost always do it on my own. I would be using the preamp for everything I guess, vocals, bass, drums and guitars. I have a RNC compressor and a Tascam digital portastudio 2488. Also, I'm not that...

Well, I still buy and listen to CDs and I love Indie music. It's not the only kind of music I love though, I like some commercial music depending what it is. I actually think most Indie music lovers are the ones who still enjoy listening to albums as a whole, and are helping to keep them...
