Its a pleasure come back to tape op after almost 2 years, well last week i started recording at home, my gear: basically a x28 FOSTEX for recording, a bunch of old keyboards, a guitar, and 2 mics: a supercardioid Kennet kd 120 and the other one an optimus condenser umc7812. Im totally new into recor...

when i listened to this record a couple of weeks ago i was overwhelmed, this guy is such a talent, here is so much zep stuff, really enjoyable!

I consider myself a headphones listener, and i know this is not the best way to listen to music specially when you want to know how your raw recordings sound, so here is the issue: There are some records that really sound great on headphones but not as well as they sound in speakers and viceversa, i...

i really enjoy and get into canada bands because of bss (theyre awesome) and also like a lot great bands like unicorns, new pornographers and side projects, do you guys know about more montreal bands?, i didnt mention gbe.

ok so i have the micing setup for the drums, actually it was no my intention to do all of this micing stuff but it happens that my drummer and the engineer decided while i was not there so they do a close mic plus some room mics: its a tama starclassic shure pg81 to the hitat shure beta 56 for the s...

cgarges i cant find those emmylou harris records here is too complicated, and i cant find them also in my p2p share program. SAAD!

i havent listen to the new hot snakes, but the new q and not u (power) its really enjoyable, believe or not is the first time i listen to them and it was agreat record to begin for me, i really like the kboards all over the record and the voices, its weird for me to listen to a dischord band im not ...

thanks rr and devlars, i was try by an omni akg and then with the diy pzm, that link was usefull thanks.

thanks red rockets, i was making a research on that mic and i dont have anything like that on the studio can i use something similar?, please let me know.

YEah youre right there devlars, by "kick ass" i mean that he can keep the timing and balance of the song so fucking well actually some of our first record drums were improvised as he listen to them on the studio. i think maybe the proggy stuff teach him that, timing its freaky! but so necessary.

Well were lucky our drummer kick ass! so its not a problem for me to record the drums with less mics, the problem is that we have never record brushes so its a pretty new experience. Its funny cause he use to play heavy metal prog stuff and now he have move to a completely different kind of music so...

thanks , i was reading all the stuff at the best of part of the forum, and ill try to experiment with the 3 mic approach it seem to be what im looking for. I was asking this at other post and it seems like noone cares or knows do you know something about dave friedmann techniques for flamig lips sof...

i cant say etiher wich are my favorite, its better to have both options and very enjoyable to have different sound appreciations of such a wonderfull record, i was listening to smile v111 bootleg , there you can enjoy part by part how the smile songs were recorded , its a really nice boot of smile, ...

and i mean that great that it seems like it was a drummer band, and i kinda dislike that. This statement really questions the foundations of record/song production. Rock songs are fueled by the drums. Driven and pushed. Drums are the foundation of the song. Weak recording of the drums and/or drum p...

im sure that you have talked about it before, anyways i was wondering, on my band first record we use a lot of mics for the drums and actually the drums at the record sounded really great, and i mean that great that it seems like it was a drummer band, and i kinda dislike that. So for this record we...
