soft humming tones, also breath deep, then blow it out in like 5-10 lil bursts and repeat. The soft mmmmmmmmmmm and ahhhhhhhhh will loosen up the vocal chords

Finch does this weird distorted techno bass drum thing on "Ender" good stuff. Thanks for the advice. I also picked up some pezio transducers from radioshack... going to have fun with those, not bad for $1.75 a peice

well Im 17 and you know how that goes... broke all the time, lol. I might have to drive to another city to get a part time job... upperclass suburb but no jobs for those under 18, ah well Edit: Me and my friend are starting videography at weddings and stuff for extra money, Im also going to charge f...

What are some tips and tricks for a guy like me with a limited amout of mics for recording stuff that wont sould all the same? I know mic placment would switch things up a bit, any other tips or hints?

cracked software is the stuff you get off of kazaa, you know the $500 peices of software for free, Im sure we all have a few peices of cracked software

Faster tape speeds usually mean the the quality improves because the same signal gets to take up more space than a slower speed, its reduces drop out and noise. As for mixdown its probably still best to use 30ips, but if you're strapped for tape lenght then use 15, I dunno how bad the quality would ...

Try a guitar with humbuckers and a clean tube amp. Fender Twins distort like that, you could maybe add a boost pedal if u need a lil more gain. I have an older silverface Twin Reverb('75 I think) and it sounds pretty close to what you want. Edit: An Ibanez tube screamer might emulate what u want too...

I dig LakLand basses, not too well known but very good quality, nice clear tone, good low end.

Im thinking maybe build an easy diode clipper dist pedal, I did, sounds like crap, like its not distortion it clips alot weirdly, its cool though, like "overdriving a solidstate amp" or something I dunno

Edit: its more akin to a blown speaker

well what sound card do you use? I know you cant overload a soundblaster over -.1 because it will internally clip the signal, might that be the problem. If not then maybe a lil more specific info on why it happens, like all the time or sometimes?

I think we tend to want things perfect because we now have the tools to make them like that so we feel like we have to use them. Making this perfect, makes them sterile and to a point even more imperfect. I think the drummer should be able to speed up and slow down humanly and a singer breathes, all...

Fender Twins and Smaller Vox's might be what you are looking for, then you could just use an A/B box for distorted(marshall) and clean(other amp) at the end of you effects chain

dont they have rack mount fan units also?

I agree, it shouldnt be manditory to look in it if the answer is there, you should still be allowed to ask without being flamed. I think an FAQ would be a great resource for like "this effect explained" or "Mic placment techniques" The faq would cover alot of ground Im sure, but there also needs to ...

I think a large FAQ by all the people on the board would be great, it'd probably be big enough to make into a book with everyones collective knoldge and skill

Id be up for it
