This is a bit of an offshoot from my original question, but what the hell. I posted a clip of something I was screwing around with today on my myspace. It just seems like no matter what instrument I'm recording, it seems distant and lacking the punch you here in a professional recording. http://www....

I was wondering if anyone could give me a few basic tips on recording Bass directly into the mixer. I'm getting a decent generic bass sound right now just running the bass into the mixer and having the lows a hair up and the highs a hair up. I really love the tone on the new Tool album. It sounds re...

Yeah I'm going to snoop around on ebay and see if one pops up.

Thanks guys

yes, but the remaining audio portion has been cheapjacked to the point where it's not worthwhile anymore.

So the cheaper one doesn't sound the same as the $199 one?

2.66ghz P4, 1.5gb PC2700, Windows XP. Yeah I was snooping around at the USB DI's. That seems like a better route because, afterall, I will probably never be using more than one channel at a time. I was poking around in Soundforge/ACID though and I may have to switch software if I go with a USB inter...

Hmm........nope. I've got 7 usb inputs though



Keep in mind ballpark of $200

Okay so my music making rig has finally gotten to the point where my recording setup is bottlenecking my final product. I play Guitar, Bass, and Keyboards. I'm running my guitar into a Catalinbread SCOD --> Big Muff --> Vox Wah87 --> DD-20 --> 1970's Ampeg VT-22. The bass I just DI into the mixer. K...

You realize no one is going to buy used when they could get the stuff new for a few bones more...? Your asking prices are too high imo.

Yeah I was thinking of snagging these to help learn some songs. THom Yorke is so much easier to understand without the vocals!

Any quick fix...?

Listening to a shoutcast radio now it is just randomly blocking out parts. A guitar solo just got completely blocked out leaving the drums and bass. Then the guitar will come back but the vocals dissapear.

Agh!

I'm using a pair from school now. They play all of the music fine except they block out almost all of the vocals. Some tracks they actually do play the vocals except it is like the signer is in a echo chamber. Sometimes it sounds like there is a phaser being used over the whole mix. I've tried Led Z...

nothin?

If it sounds that harsh he probably just hasn't taken the time to tweak it, ya know?

haha check out my clip see how it sounds!
