nice looking kit, billiam, what is that? it's a cheap tama drum set that a friend didn't want. i took it and stripped it down to the wood and me and a buddy of mine painted them. and i agree with you about the drummer having to be solid. i know a session is going to be tough as soon as everything i...

As far as drum tuning, playing technique, and any other problems you have experienced. Also, what is the number one complaint you have with drummers when you try to record them? play the volume they will play when they're going to record. and learn to set up your drums so that it's easy to get a go...

but since you are using Firepods and I assume some sort of DAW, can't you just flip the waveform with a plug-in also? I know you can do it with the gain (and other) plug-ins in Pro Tools. Mike i can do that... but i'm trying to eliminate that and get everything in phase before starting so that i ca...

that's really neat..but is kind of pricey. i might get a couple to at least try them out though.

i use firepods when i record. i've been doing acoustic treatment (bass traps and absorption) and i got my recordings sounding good at the source before tracking. my problem is that i don't have anything to flip the polarities on channels that i need it (undersnare, kick, maybe a tom every once in a ...

i'm young. 19 years old. but.. i remember when i was younger i LOVED firehouse and went to a food can concert where you got in free with 2 canned food items and saw Firehouse.. "baby... don't treat me baaaaddd". get it as heavy and tight as possible (sounds like you already did the dirty work so far...

so i read teh thing and it talks about what it means and stuff when you're using it and what you should be looking for... but i didn't see anything showing me what i needed or where i could get it. maybe that's where you were going to come in next?

I was wondering if there were any one in the Dallas (Richardson, Plano, Garland) area who'd be willing to come and spend time at my small home studio and help me measure what happening in my room. i'm sure (more) bass trapping will help solve any problems that i'm currently having but i'd like to se...

i always jsut place the pop filter in the correct area that he needs and so he can stand comfortable and put his mouth up to the pop filter and he knows that he's a good distance from the mic.

yeah get about 6 inches from the mic for the good proximity and then roll off the lows at about 175hz (or else your vox may be TOO boomy and it wont sit well with the music) and then add plenty of compression to tighten up the presence in your vox.

I'm doing some recordings of a Jazz ensemble I teach specifically for a taped audition submission. I did one session already that included one LDC on the band, one LDC near the rhythm section, and then one out front for soloists. I want to preserve, as much as possible- the balance the group create...

yeah for something like this... might as well treat yourself with something solid and will last you forever. it's very simple and with a few hours spent on it you become in expert in drum replacement. what i usually do is get teh best source sound as possible. THEN i open up a new project file and h...

i need about (4) 15' xlr mic cables. And i'm also looking for a 16 channel xlr snake. If you guys have any mic cables lying around and could use a little extra cash let me know and i'll buy these off of you. I'M IN THE DALLAS/RICHARDSON AREA. just trying to clean up the studio space a little bit and...

i'm looking to buy them. i'll pay 500$ for a good pair!

(i know they dont' come in pairs... i'm just looking for 2 of them)
