I have been curious about this technique since I read it somewhere (which I can't remember). Anyways, do you know anything about this? I'm asking because, first I love the sound of analog recordings, but my studio gear is very simple and on the cheap side, so I don't have great sounding pre's or mic...

Mix is good overall. Tracking on the drums sounds nice! EQ could be a little less bright (personal preference) Nice work. Perhaps someone with more experience could offer you more usefull advice, but it translated ok on my cruddy speakers. Thanks for listsning. I don't think the EQ is bright at all...

Hey, I just finished our band's home made EP. This is one of the tunes. All recorded in my basement with minimal gear and GaregBand. Let me know what you think of the mix http://www3.telus.net/public/tomasdc/mp3/01%20Butterfly%20Eyes.mp3 You can hear some more at www.automataworld.ca ANy comments ar...

Justin, I really appreciate your comments. I get the same feeling with the piano. It did cross my mind asking the piano player to give it another go. It is a bit too much going on. I'll see if I get him to do this... (I also now realize that this is what he is doing live, well its all improvised, bu...

Thanks for the feedback mane.

I updated the song, now with piano and vocals added. Any suggestions on the mix are welcomed, I already noticed some things that need to be fixed.

ned-Character is what I'm looking for. Justin- Thanks for your comments and I understand exactly what you are saying. I think when I get the the piano and vocals in you'll get a better idea of the song, so hopefully that will bring something more to the song as such (well, I have 11 songs I'm workin...

Thanks man, It is nice to get some feedback. Yes, I'm an amateur myself, but I have tried to avoid any EQ. I mean I tried to get the right sound from the basic tracks. I tried lots of alternatives to get a fat but clear sound (for all instruments) I will get the rest of the tracks (for a total of 11...

This is one song out of 11. I just finished the guitars, and still some piano and vocals to record. I would say I'm not really recording the way it is supposed to. I like acoustic sounds noises and simple performance. Basically I want a roomy live feel. Any comments would be useful. http://www3.telu...

Fantastic! I really like the music and the recording is very good and unique. I'm doing the same thing producing and recording my own band album. I hope I can get as good sound as you have achieved. The only thing I would add, is that there seem to be some inconsistencies in the style of each mix. F...

No need to do that.

Ok, I'm in. I just had my first session recording drums at my spot. One mic over the kit, speaker cab as kick mic. This is the raw track. I haven't done anything to it yet. What would you suggest? DivShare File - 11-AudioTrack 11.mp3 Talk about stealing a thread. OK, Your recording sounds good, but...

Josh, Thanks for your comments. I do have a nother version with a shorter ring. I'll try both with the rest of instruments that I haven't done yet (Dobro, acoustic Bass, organ) and see how it works with the full band. I don't wnat a really wide mix, but I can get it to be wider for sure. I didn't us...

I'm doing a home made album, and ventured fro the first time into recording drums. I'm a guitar player and have that figured, but drums is the frist time. I have very basic gear and recorded using a PreSonus Inspire and GarageBand. I used the Mid-Side techinque with a Figure 8 Cascade Fat Head Ribbo...

I think that is where they are the best. Condensers tend to sound to crisp.

Hey, This is a straight Blues recorded with one microphone (Fat head Ribbon) in my basement bathroom. I like it, but maybe using 2 microphones would work better. I was looking for some sort of old 1920 kind of recording, but with a clean modern sound... (or so I think)... So, the recording is live o...
