So you should, in order to get a fatter sound and that soft hi end. It's even easier to mix and you can avoid to sound too "digital" like eveybody.
Most of the major recordings are doing it before to start mixing. At least for the drums, but bass, guitars and lead vocal make the difference too.

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions or reviews about the new ART Pro VLA II. I've seen a lot of reviews about the original version, however, this one is supposed to have a decent amount of upgrades. It's still a fairly new compressor so a Google search hasn't turned up much on it yet.

Hi,

I use Superior Drummer for tracking drums and I have heard some people multi layer drums with two kick drum sounds etc.

Is this a good idea for professional sounding drums?

i have a question and i bet its probably real simple. I'm trying to give a regular beat from my Korg a little bit of a tube sound, you know the kind that sounds like a mild, warm distortion or maybe when you're in your car and you turn up the sound to the point to where the speakers are almost over the line but not quite.

Can anyone assist in how to use a Mackie 808m powered mixer in conjuction with a Crown XLS202D power amp? Id like to use the Mackie for my 2 Yamaha BR15's and the Crown for two monitos, I'm just not sure how to hook these things up correctly and what kind of cables I will need. Thanks in advance.

Heres the Mackie

just looking for a little feedback to see if this makes sense

I have an emu soundcard, just has 2 inputs, so I run everything through an onyx 1640 mixer. so I just send whatever I want to record down through two sub outputs on the mixer and mute everything else. I'm pretty satisfied with the mixer for direct sound, like hooking up a synth or pod, drum machine, etc to it.

Anybody have any interesting experience with these monitors?
About to check them out in person, but I thought I'd ask around for the extreme views. Anybody think they're terrible or superb?

How do they compare with the 520 other than the size of the cones?

So I'm thinking of starting my own recording studio in the future, but want to know where to start. I have a musical background (classically trained pianist) until college at which point I stopped competing professionally and majored in business/sociology and ultimately became a paralegal.

The is a 4 year old fender acoustic..

i have a seymour duncan woody, as well as a handful of condensers, sm57's+8's, and i can't get a sound i really am happy with with these obviously, the only one i am breifly happy with at the moment in the Behringer b1. i am a very low budget engineer as i am a full time student. what mic would you recommend for under £150 ?
