Got an Avalon vt737dp which work great with vocals, but wanted to know if my instrument input is not malfunctionning :

I've been toying around with notching an area in the kick for the bass to sit and here is my problem.

I am doing a song and want to record my bass amp. I have a carvin stack with a 15 and 2-10 inch speakers. I tried to just run the bass direct into my isa 428 with a rnc off of the side chain. I did not like the way it sounded. No punch. I am going to try a D112 on the 15" and sm57 on the 10"s. I don't have a DI box so I want to capture the sound of my rig.

I've taken just the DI channel forever and I've just started Micing the bass cab and blending the DI. I was just curious as to any particular technique for Micing the bass cab. How close should I be micing? What mic? Large Condensor or dynamic? The mics that I have to choose from is:

Hello,

I'm recording drums here.
My 20" kick sounds way better then 22" (same model, wood)

22 has got a lot of low end, a bit boomy...
I use AUDIX D6.
I hear about using 2mics as it is such a big drum...
would D4 be a good 2nd one?
I've tried Micing just outside, pointing to beater, middle.

Hi there

I'm a total newbie to recording and mixing but I find it really exciting. Well I have a question (of course) about this track I'm trying to mix. It seems the bass guitar is kind of bouncing between the left and right guitar tracks. It does'nt do this if I solo the track. I can't figure this one out.

Thanks

hi guys...can someone plz tell me how the record a better sound of bass i have recorded acoustic instruments never tried bass...so can any one tell me plz.

Hey guys,

after some advice ( arent we all!).

Is there a generalruleof thumb for the bass? Like it should be loud as the guitar or drums etc?

kinda lame i guess. has anyone heard the new green day album? the drums are amazing on it. anyways, the kick has this nice punch to it. can someone give me some advice on placement of the mic in relation to to the head to get a nice fast powerful sound like that on the new green day CD. and also the difference of taking of the head while recording and or removing the pillow.
