Thanks for all the feedback! I've learned a lot on this recording from TOMB so I can't thank this board/mag enough. Here's the final mix and master (everything recorded and mixed on the 388 down to a tascam 22-2, then mastered by a good, out of town friend in Protools) I'm pretty pleased with the re...

i used one i purchased on ebay for 7 bucks. Looks like all they did was toss in an XLR jack and 100k resistor. Sounds exactly how you'd think it should. Comes in around the 45 second mark. One day i want to use it to mic some re-amped stuff for some fun snare sounds or somethin' else. http://soundcl...

Thanks again for all the feedback, it's been most helpful!! I've made a second mix of the song in question based on the suggestions here, and i think its much better this time around. I've also made a mix of one of our more aggressive, straight ahead punk songs to contrast and compare. Our sound pep...

have either of you bounced several tracks down to a pair or a mono track? I'm trying to figure out if i need to record tracks much quieter that i plan on bouncing, in order to make up for the combined volume total of tracks bouncing down. It seems like every time i bounce stuff it sounds like total ...

Thanks for the feeback! I've got to mix all 10 songs probably this week or next. Once I have another one mixed I'll post it up here. I'll probably mix one of our more aggressive, less party-vibe songs next to see how they stand up together. Thanks again, I've really learned so much just from reading...

Thanks, I appreciate it. Does the bass sound too thin? Its only DI but I tried my best to get a good, full DI sound. I'd really like to re-amp it because live I play thru a fulltone bass drive with the overdrive dimed out and thats not the case with only DI... to my ears it's just too clean! I've be...

Hi! I'm a long time tapeop lurker/subscriber that's used this board and the mag for years to help with my home recordings, but now i'm going to jump in the fire and ask for some feedback.

long time reader of this thread and all the other 388 related stuff, it's been SO helpful over the last year! I've tried to read everything and hold off posting as long as I could, but now I need some help! I really need some advice on bouncing down tracks on the 388. I'm currently having a few issu...
