my first condenser mic was a behringer, i bought an xlr-1/4" cable with it, tried to record and went to the store fuming, just to realize i need phantom power (what ever that is!) and an xlr-xlr cable. other rookie moves include: checking that power is on LAST buying the rest of the behringer gear t...

it will do the trick, but I often find myself wishing I could have a little more gain with my ribbon through the RNP. I havent tried it, but I imagine that one of those gain boosters would be great.

I'm In!

+1 on the e100, also AT2020, I use it all the time on acoustics, more often than not it beats my 4033 and ribbons on a shootout.

I'm down, can we get some more heads together?

Whenever Business is slow for me i will pick up a local cat and do some work real cheap, between 10-20 an hour. I have charged more, this is just to get my fix (recording) really and 9 times out of 10 they will be very happy, become a returning client, and often tell other friends that I record Chea...

how close are you to the mic, record a take stepped forward, stepped back, angle the mic, repeat. one thing I tell most of the voclaists that come in here is sing through the mic, not into it, making the room, not the mic, your focal point. in most situations it helps. also as far as processing goes...

for an exciter effect, I will duplicate a certain track and on the duplicate, run a high pass filter set high, typically between 5k and 15k, then compress the absolute shit out of it, like a colonic for the first time. works well once in a while, I'm not too fond of maximizers/exciters though. works...

I agree that vinyl is the least environmentally friendly medium for audio. But I love vinyl, I buy it every once in a while, almost always used. But I am going out today to get that new Al Green record on vinyl. Which is excellent, by the way. someone made me a copy of it over a month ago and it has...

I started out recording people for free or very very cheap (still do sometimes) and that is what has brought me the clients I have. I also have some good friends i have made recording,and have had consistantly returning clients for over5-6 years. I would say at least 90% of the poeple i work with ha...

I have a mid 2007 MBP 2.2ghz with 4 GB, does anybody know of a good FW expresscard that uses the TI 1394 chipsets? I have been daisychaining my 003 and 2 HDs at times, and i haven't really had any issues, but Im also not really looking forward to it, when I do

I thought it was the Invert plugin to invert polarity, am I wrong? also Sonalksis has a great free plugin that has polarity inversion its called Free G. I had no idea you could filp the polarity with the trim plug

The thing about electric guitars is they have a fairly wide frequency range, and its a very discernable instrument, try to give your guitar tracks a rather narrow bandwidth, this will clean up the body of the song so the bass/drums/keys whatever will be easier to hear. also if your bass has a lot of...

yeah, there were a couple times they didnt have enough money to get them through the session, but they were reliable a number of times before that, so i would let them owe me for a couple hours, thats when i would get propositioned.

I was actually recording some gangsta kids for a while and they would bring girls over, and the girls would leave to go buy them/me/us beer whenever we got low, and there have been a couple times I've been offered some kind of sexual favor from one of them after a quick nod from one of the guys.
