Hi, I am recording myself on guitar and a friend on drums. We wanna play together and record some songs. I have a 12 channel soundcraft mixer and am recording to protools free. I cannot specify which channels goto which tracks however I would still like to record these jams to one track and just get...

I think the drums sound good for the type of music.
I like the lagwagon song may 16th alot and the drums on that too.
Gotta have that tight thumpy kit for those fast punk records.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions guys, they are helping already. I have compressor II and Limiter II I have been trying them out all day as inserts on the master fader. Can anyone suggest some good settings for these ? -- Another problem Iam having is that my brother playing drums can't hear the music whe...

Hi, I am working on some stuff on my lil protools free setup and was wondering about making the finish project sound a bit better.

For instance, is it better to normalize each track individually or normalize the final 2 track mix ? I have some audiosuite plugins too,...

Thanks!

Thats what I did too. Worked on my silly song contest.
Its gettin' down to the wire.

The mxl 603, which I think has been mentioned before, is pretty darn good.
I have gotten good drum sounds with it over the kit and as room ambiance for guitar cabs. For the price you can't beat it.

As I was looking at the 'topic started by list' and saw "TapeOpHillary" at the top, something made a connection in my mind. I was listening to a CD last night that was recorded and mixed by you! I always read and go through the entire liner notes of my CDs', I love doing that. So anyway, I have had ...

Thanks for the reply. I have heard of that box actually and the one thing that I don't like, that keeps me from buying it is that you can only have a a or b or a and b. Not both. I want both options without having to decide on one.

Hi, whats goin' on ? I was just wondering if anyone was entering the blue mic song contest. I was thinking about it. I have some lyrics with the silly words, just not sure If I wanna sing on it... Anyone use\own the blue bottle mic that is the grand prize ? Whats it like? Whats it sound best on? Peace

For a multitrack studer probably 48 Tracks...definately new reels. Probably 15 ips, maybe 30.

For an average 3-4 minute song with drums,a few layers of guitars, vocals, background vocals, and keyboards how long would you spend to make a high quality recording of a song with many intricate parts ?

Also how long would you then spend on mixing, then mastering ?

Thanks!!
