So,it seems most of my business is metal/metalcore music.I can get an acceptable sound.But i want better than acceptable.Its not good enough to get a great kick sound and bass sound because i cant get them to sound like the CDs I'm referencing.Im lacking a presence in the bass guitar usually.Most songs in this genre just bury the bass and bring the kick out as much as possible but id rather not

Hi all,
newbie here wondering how to best utilize a spectrum analyzer while recording drums. What should I look for? I can't find any helpful reference on google on the topic.
While tracking drums should I check each tom/mic by hitting and recording one hit or meassure the whole kit?
Are there any topics on range of bass drum vs snare in relation to hi hat and ride?

Is the Sony MDR-V300 the best headphones for both pro use and for portable players? I really think these headphones sounds the best for both use.

Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing a new soundcard...external usb, because right now I'm just using my standard sound card with a 1/8 to 1/4 cable going from the card to my mixer. Im looking for cheap one, but will increase the quality. I saw this one, I was trying to get any opinions on it

Hi, I'm a little worried. I bought my UA 6176 a couple of months ago and I love it. But the little light in the middle has never worked. So I finally picked up a light bulb that looked similar and stuck it in there. When I turned it on the bulb popped and the unit shut down. No big deal, I pulled out the fuse and sure enough it was fried.

Hi RO members..

Hi, you may have seen me post in the Pro Audio Forum, but I'm back here.

Anyway, I'm trying to have a set-up to practice recording/mixing for as cheaply as possible and need some help on microphone suggestions. The tone I would like to eventually attain would be that punchy nu-metal, stoner rock, or blues like sound.

Here's what I have:
