    How do YOU set up your room for guitar amp recording?

    ^^^ Fuck yea, dude. I always feel like I get better tones from ballsy amps, anyway...especially for clean tones running just shy of distortion. There's some balls in that pic. Like 9 balls.

    How do YOU set up your room for guitar amp recording?

    ^^As goofy as it may look to some (it certainly does to me!), what Miro does there works great when close mic'ing, and I've personally rigged up similarly "homemade" looking contraptions made of blankets and rugs completely surrounding the amp and mics in the (pretty mainstream) studio I worked...

    books

    Broken_H gave you some good links - I'll add this one: The SouthSIDE Of The Tracks - Glen Stephan - Independent Recording Network <-- I can elaborate if it's not obvious what that articles going on about, but it's an absolute necessity (especially for the guitars) for huge heavy mixes to cut...

    Hooking up a 3rd speaker?

    I think the control room outputs on that thing will be the same as the headphone outputs (minus the headphone amp and it's potential issues as ecc83 noted) as long as you don't have the "2-TR to Ctrl Room" button pressed.

    Songs Needed for Radio promotion

    Gracenote stats on known recorded songs-- 2005: 45 million 2011: 90 million. 2012: 230 million With that kind of exponential curve, there's probably at least 5-10 times that today. That's billions and billions of minutes of recorded music, and that's only counting songs that have been pressed...

    "Mono is dead"

    That's interesting... I, for one, never knew that - so radio will actually mono-iphy their broadcasts in case it's "too stereo" for who they think (or want/intend) is listening... This I am familiar with, for the same reasons I assume broadcasters do it...I just never drew that connection...

    "Mono is dead"

    I haven't really thought about how often people do that until just now.... They do that all the time. "Hey look at/listen to this" (plays youtube clip/mp3 on phone). huh.... Things are heard in mono a hell of a lot more than I ever really realized until just now. Interesting....

    Usually how many guitar track should I record in one song?

    edit: I didn't read all 5 pages, but it looks like a lot of this was said already...oh well - usually the middle pages of these threads are about food...or cats...lol I just listened, too (had to find my CD...haven't played an actual CD in years), and I agree - there's about 6-8 different...

    Found an old peavey mic, can't figure out what it is.

    I just found this mic in the bottom of a cable bin and figured I'd throw it on ebay for 20 bucks or so (maybe somebody somewhere can use it and make something awesome, heh...), but I can not, for the life of me, find out exactly what it is. Peavey has PVi-100, PVi-2, PVi-3 and some other PVi...

    I really need Help! please?

    No, they are not. A preamp and soundcard won't improve your results in any meaningful way, and a hardware compressor won't do anything a plugin can't do just as effectively. Those pieces of equipment might give you subtly different results, but not better ones. I'll write more later, but...

    DAW vs other Workflow. Frustrated with computers...

    Really?! I find that very interesting... What do they store, then? Some kind of spline or predictive data or something?

    Are monitors a requirement?

    I'm not familiar with it, personally - but it looks like he bought one studio monitor: https://homerecording.com/bbs/special-forums/free-ads-music-recording-equipment/almost-new-jbl-lsr-2328p-8-powered-monitor-368762/

    doing sound for a bar

    ^^ I was gonna say something about attitude, too - it makes all the difference between a smooth, fun night and a godawful one. Be friendly and helpful and if possible - be ready for whoever is playing. If your lines are all run when the band gets there, then you just have to adjust the mics...

    Hi posted some mixes before and got some good feedback hoping for more

    "Sorry! We can't find that track. Did you try to access a private track, but were not logged in? Maybe the track has been removed." I give up for today....

    Make this sound like this .....help please

    I was gonna give it a shot but the download link for 1 doesn't work... I hate these damn file-sharing sites lately. too fancy for their own good.

    dbx 119 Story...

    I, too, would like to hear what this thing does. The descriptions of it's use in this thread don't really make much sense (and some seem outright impossible unless I misunderstood what it's supposed to do), but it is kinda cool looking....and I'm always interested to hear new things. We got...

    doing sound for a bar

    Ring out your monitors and read up on mic patterns. The biggest fight in live sound is usually feedback vs monitor volume...and it's a nasty fight at times... It'll make you want to hug the bands that come through with their own in-ear rigs, heh...

    mixing (esp. the panning of) electric guitars

    I'll take the other side of the spectrum from MoFacta, I suppose :) Absolutely - bring guitars in on a not-so-rocking part and then when you push them all the way back out it's like cranking up the awesome to eleventeen. For extra effect, roll off some highs and lows when you bring them in to...

    Mix Advice

    Dude, I really like about 90% of that song. The other 10% just went over my head, I think... guess I didn't get it (or whatever, lol). The mix itself sounds done to me (which to me means that nobody will find the mix/production quality itself distracting when listening to the music in context...
