Hey penrithmatt,

What kind of vocal mic was used on the new RL record? Great job by the way.. I'm loving "Can I Stay."

SM7 into a DW Fearn mic pre.straight to tape.

anybody know what kind of mics or what kind of mic placement was used on that Ray Lamontagne album i recorded the new one,drums were done the same way on the last record. 3 mics Coles over the snare,about three feet above the centre of it. coles by the floor tom,looking at the centre of the snare,s...

here,at Allaire,the Neve Room doesn't have a control room.never really found it much of a problem.i mean,it takes a little bit of getting used to,but.........i have some Alan Smart DI's that i use to run long lines to guitar and bass amps in other rooms,drums in a hallway.........i wear headphones s...

i wouldn't bother........tracking to tape and then duming in the computer is cool,but the other way round.......bit pointless really........i'd be more inclined to tell you to stem yer mix out onto a console,mix in a "traditional" way to a well mantained and aligned 1/2" or 1/4" deck.you'll get more...

i'd just give up.....or carry on as you are.........in the last ten years i've had to "sit in" on sessions run by a couple of guys that teach music technology at some very established schools,one in Boston and one in New York.........both occasions have been a fucking nightmare,only adding to,and co...

push up the vocal fader first. push up kick drum fader second push up bass amp fader third. then fit everything else in around that.no real hard or fast way,everything is different every time.the only constant being that,if the song has a vocal then that's probably the most important thing,everythin...

he's English,although he lives in LA,or atleast he did when i worked with him (on a fucking Duran Duran album,about 10 years ago)

he did a bunch of 70's Elton John records,some Bowie stuff......basically the bulk of the music that came out of Trident in the 70's.....nice guy too.

depends on what purpose the guitar track has to serve.i mean,is it a rhythm track in a dense mix with loads of drums,bass and electric guitars??is it finger picking?? is it gonna be just guitar?? anyway,i'd think about that for a minute before anything else....and then i'd probably do what i always ...

hello everyone I like to mult the main vocal into three parts L-C-R pitch the left up a few cents with an indicernable amount of delay on it pitch the right down a few cents """""""" blend your stereo tracks in underneath the main vox basically what Joel said minus the whole "professional" angle :D...

Bo Diddley's exciting, and it's one fucking chord half the time. The problem with most of the stuff listed here is lack of rock skills and bad singing. I'm not directing this at randy, but, if your argument is 'everything's been done', you miss the point: heart. Nobody puts their ass on the line, e...

i generally try and stay out of that shit.if they have issues amongst themselves when they come in to record with you...wel,that has nothing to do with you,so.......i mean,if they start duking it out in your control room you might wanna step in,but otherwise i'd be inclined to leave them alone to de...

what they said......... seriously though,i've been through this situation with a pretty well known band,who's percussionist decided that he wanted to play a trap kit.for the first time.during the making of the record......it was a nightmare.he couldn't play the song down,so we went for the one drum ...

i have no idea what they are,my pop up blocker just spazzes out when i click "message board" on the TO site and when the main page opens......

i'm sorry man,but i think recording school is the biggest waste of money. no disrespect to some of the "fine" institutions out there,i'm sure some of what they teach you is usefull,the real thing is so very different... having worked in studios in the Uk and US for the last 12 years,starting straigh...
