Really, really, really love it! It did feel like you could have dropped in with a whole new drum and bass at some point, though. Could have kicked the whole thing into in to intergalactic overdrive. Haha, thanks man! Yeah I like the intergalactic idea, there is a bit of additiveness happening with ...

How does this one sound?

Hey ya'll, in the closing stages of a mix here, trying to get it to translate across different speakers as well as possible. Would love any feedback related to the sonics, good or bad:

Basics for upgrading from "project" to Pro

Hey guys, at the moment I have a project studio, nothing fancy in an extra room in my house with a pretty simple setup running into PT 9 on a mac mini. One old Aphex mic pre and that's about it as far as outboard gear. Like I said, nothing fancy. There's a chance I might end up with a few extra buck...

as it is mostly a single point sound sources, and not a true Stereo instrument As a disclaimer, I am merely playing devil's advocate here. In practice, I tend to like my acoustic guitar in "mono" and with stereo ambiance added. But sometimes, other approaches sound cool toooo...... 8) You and Nick ...

cool idea, like the different approach, will definitely give that one a try sometime. Especially in a situation where it's just guitar and vox, why not give the gtr as much life possible under those vox.

I've been experimenting with some new mandolin family recordings using a close mic and an omni room mic. I panned the close mic about 2 o'clock to one side, and the room mic fairly hard to the other side, reduced the room mic in volume just so it's there, and added reverb on the room mic. Seems to ...

I was messing around with a track last night with double mic'd fingerstyle guitar, vocals in the middle and a simple light percussion track up the middle, kinda backgroundy for a pulse. 10 and 2 o clock for the guitar mics seemed to work the best. That was a great suggestion whoever said that someti...

Cool yeah I've been experimenting with those ideas. The main thing I get concerned about with that setup is having the "omnipresent" guitar sound that seems to be coming from everywhere rather than existing somewhere in the stereo spread but I've been noticing that often one of the mics seems to tak...

Favorite way to pan acoustic guitar recorded on 2 mics. . .

You've recorded an acoustic guitar with the two typical mics, one pointing at the neck around the 12th fret and one on the body. The recording is either extremely or relatively sparse, maybe just vocals and some sparse percussion. How do you pan the 2 mics, hard left, hard right. Or rather "put" the...

Studio / gear insurance

I rent in the house I have my project studio in and was looking at renters insurance plans to cover my gear from theft/fire etc. I also gig out with a lot of gear sometimes, and was hoping to find a plan that would cover me for both. Trouble is the guy I talked to said *all* insurance plans maxed ou...
