I have the latest version of Drumagog and there is an option that says "Live (Low Latency)", so I guess that shouldn't be a problem, right?
Anyway if I do that, I would use both trigger and mic so I can mix both, and also I have a back-up in case drumagog fails.
So with the latency problem...
Thanks for being the only one who answered!
I am indeed happy with the mixes, they sound good. But the problem is that they lack that "live" element.
Maybe someone who has mixed live gigs in multi-track could give me a hand here?
You said that you can add EQ and effects in the recorder, but that mixing.
You have a recorder/mixer combo, and if you EQ and add effects during your recording, you are mixing while you record.
Hell, I even mix while I'm songwriting.
I write in guitar pro, which has individual volumes and even...
Hey people.
Some months ago I recorded a local metal festival in multitrack, and now we are editing a DVD for it.
When I started making rough mixes of the material, I was surprised of how good it sounded.
Like "wow, that doesn't sound live at all, it sounds more like a recording in a studio"...
I have been using drumagog in the studio for ages, and it works great, but I wanted to use triggers for live gigs.
The "regular" way is to buy the pads and the sound module, but that's not cheap (costs about the same as my drum set).
So I was thinking about using my laptop to run the triggers...
Hey Farview, thanks for the tip.
I have a tube pre-amp with phantom, but it's only for one channel.
However, I also have a Behringer D.I. that has 2 channels and is active (either with phantom or with batteries), and since my mixer's direct outs are unbalanced, maybe I could plug two other...
Let's see again:
My Tascam Recording Interface has 8 XLR inputs, 6 of which I will connect to the Direct Outs of my mixer, and the other 2 XLR inputs will be a pair of condenser microphones for ambience.
Now, the problem is that my Tascam 1641, sends phantom power in groups of 4 inputs. Either...
That's right, a dynamic mike works with phantom.
Hell, I even sent phantom to my ribbon mike the other day by accident and it still works :eek:
However, I'm not sure if it's the same with active devices, such as Mixers, that has a lot more circuits.
One way I was thinking, is since Pin 2 is...
Hello people!
I'm having some serious doubts and I was hoping you guys could help me.
My problem is this:
I have a Behringer Xenyx 2442FX Mixer, and a Tascam 1641 USB recording interface, and for live gigs, I wanted to record multitrack from my mixer, to my Tascam, which has 8 Mic inputs, plus 6...
I got the EEE PC! And it fucking rules! :)
Its not that fast (900 Mhz), but it has 2 Gb or RAM.
Do you guys think I will be able to use this little baby with my laptop?
Of course that is what I was talking about.
By "remove" I meant "dipping way too much".
But most people who mix rock/metal, adds bass, removes/dips about 500 Hz (could be set with a very wide bandwidth to dip even from 80 Hz to 3 Khz) and adds attack anywhere from 3 to 10 KHz.
I know it's a lot...
After giving that sentence a lot of thinking, I agree with you... in a way...
You are referring to EQ during recording, where your EQ settings are indeed the difference between the sound you have and the sound you want.
However, having done that, by the stage of mixing you have all tracks with...
If you get a laptop just for recording, and you do the mixing on a desktop PC, if your CPU is no more than 4-5 years old, you probably won't ran out of resources.
It's plug-ins that sucks CPU's blood.
If you don't use plug-ins and just record on your laptop, everything should be ok.
Or if you...
Get a pair of Naiants for overheads, a SM57 for the snare, and something else for your kick, depending on your budget. Could range from a 200$ Audix D6 or AKG 112 to a 50$ Kickball.
And for the overheads use the recorderman technique.
Hope I was helpful
The genre itself is symphonic black metal, but I'm not looking for the typical black metal sound (awful), I'm more looking for black metal songs with power metal sound.
I never even though that a mix could lack bass, highs, and mids, all at once!! And mine does... that sux ass... :(
Anyway...
Here is a new mix I did.
This one is pretty much final (except for the guitar solo)
It's a lot less "bassy". I think maybe too much...
So check it out and tell me what you think. Do you think it improved over the last one?
