I'm most likely not the first person to have done this, but I've never heard of a snare being recorded like this. Today I was hastily setting up my drums to record while my parents were at a party. I had to finish before they got back cause they hate the noise. I only had half of my drums at this house: snare, floor tom, and ride. Thats it.

Hello!

I am current running my mixes on a pair of event TR6's.

Moving to a new area next week, and am blessed with a much larger control room. Will need larger monitors to satisfy my far seated clients.

Was looking at the Samson Rubicon8's with a sub.

Choice is majorly limited here.

Advise please.

Cheers!

I am planning on using an EQ pedal in conjunction with my distortion pedal for recording my guitar. I know from experimentation that the order has a big effect on what the end product sounds like. What do you recommend as to which one to put first and why?

Enjoy your Holiday!

So I recently purchased a PreSonus Firebox with the Cubase LE 4 that comes with it.

But when I go into the device setup in Cubase, it asks for an output...

I thought the output was the firewire connection from the computer to the audio interface...

Whenever I try to record, no sound comes through...

Is there something I'm missing here?

One of the other topics has sort of digressed into a very pertinent topic with regards to any computer.

Keeping things cool yet quiet.

In light of that I thought I'd post some of the things I do to ensure quality operation of my machines.

I'm not a recording pro but I'm heading off to music school in a couple months and I need a computer audio interface. I have a new macbook and I'm running Logic Express on it. My computer has no firewire ports so I need an interface that uses usb. I have a couple in mind but I want to here what more experienced individuals have to say. Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone,

I will prefix this post by letting you know that I have a terrible voice.

Basically I am after any techniques or effects to hide, as best as possible, the obvious pitfalls in my singing ability.

Hi everyone,

Basically I joined this forum today because I am having problems with recording some music that I have written. I have a few questions, if anyone could answer them that'd be great.

My music has electric guitar, drums and vocals etc so the recording has to be as good as I can get it from my own home.

I have been recording seriously for five years now and have been painstakingly searching for "that drum sound" for FIVE YEARS! I am looking for a Chad Smith a la Blood Suger Sex Magic meets Questlove bright snare/full Kick sound.

I'd like to offer up some blabber and MSPaint explanations about common pickup patterns. Here's effort 1.

The pickup pattern of a mic is simply the area in which it picks up the most sound. Noises outside this area will still be picked up but with less definition and volume.
