you can solve your latancy issues by bouncing down the track with the drummagog pluging to another track, then stretch the veiw and manually slide over the bounced track to line the peaks and valleys up with the original. i used it on the kicks only on the latest album i'm working on. the last one i...

i'm mixing drums right now for a heavy metal band, and was wondering what you guys suggest to get that big snare sound without it sounding far away. right now i've got both top and bottom snare mic tracks going to a sub bus and an effects send to a reverb bus both outputing to a drum master bus. wit...

i've got a K2 that i run through the focusrite Penta -> yamaha 01v -> hammerfall card -> sonar 3.

i'm loving it so far.

i don't have much experience with the nt1a though.

simplest way would be posting 24bit 44.1 wav files.
anyone can convert a wav file to what they need.



btw i need a snare, kick, 1 rack, 1 floor, samples please.

create a click track with the band for each song with tempo changes in the right places. then have your drummer play to those. (you can have someone else track there part with the drummer if you want) but click track demo's will speed up the workflow the quickest and so worth there time in preproduc...

we play traditional heavy metal al la preist / maiden ish. tracking everything individually. (guitar and click track demo's w/ scratch vocals is what he'll be listening to durning drum tracking) the drums are back beat with focus on the song as a whole and not a sum of its parts. i was thinking we'd...

here is what i have to work with. we've got a pretty good idea how we want to do it, but i'd love to hear how some of you would run this. 5 peice birtch kit 1 57 1 beta 57 2 GT-55's 2 rode NT-5's 1 rode NT-2000 1 rode K2 2 audix D-6's 2 audix D-2's 1 Audix D-4 1 Audix D-1 2 EV RE27's 1 EV ND868 1 se...

i've heard of this. i've heard that this is the "trick" to get that "big" sound. especially with guitars.
i think i kind of understand how its done... but i'd like to hear form anyone who has used this method to please explain how they did it. including how they bused it.

i've often tracked with the monitors kinda low but enough to hear while singing, with a compressor on the way in so that the only time you hear the monitors playback in the tracking is whenthere is no singing. as long as you balance it out to where, when soloing the vocal track, you can't hear any o...

it's upgrading time at Grade B Studios. and to replace my aging Aardvark Q10 i splurged and purchaced the 01V 2496 version 2, and a Hammerfall card. i hope to have it in a couple weeks.

can anyone tell me any stories about their yamaha 01v experiences?

i've used the K2 and think its an amazing mic for the price. i did not find the top end to be harsh at all, it was quite nice.

all you guys that have been bouncing externally are taking a digital signal, converting it to anologe, sending it out the sound card outs -> into an anologe device or digital (if digital this converion is then done twice), -> then back into your inputs, and converted back to digital (possibly again)...

what if i track guitars between -6 and 0 digitally, then mixing with subgroups; is the result the same as tracking at a lower level or am i adding extra noise from the orignal tracks being so loud?

wouldn't an active DI box better suit bass recording needs?

why would you want to paint over such a beautiful wood? clear it, stain, it or wax it, but please, don't paint it!
