recording source effects vs. adding after in the mix

Hi there



I've got a band coming in to record this weekend. The one guitar player I think would like to use his delay pedal as opposed to me adding delay in the mix. What issues am I going to run into here with compression etc? I know the one drawback will be the mono delay. I'm recording this band live and I have only 8 channels so re-amping is not an option

the old simple days of recording compression the only "effect"

hey guys, I am not a recording engineer, am familiar with making demos at home, but have always flirted with home recording vs studios.



I was watching a special about Sun Studios and how they had no eq, and that everything had to sound good when tracking. If you wanted to a different eq, change your amp settings/move the mic.

In the song The Tip Of The Iceberg by Owl City, there is an effect around 1:40 when he says "And your lungs crystallize". I have been wondering ever since I heard what effect it is. Does anyone know? It sounds almost as if the sound is traveling forward and backward.

Hi! Okay I have a Firepod and a TC M300 that I want to use as External FX in Cubase! I hooked up the M300 Via SPDIF to my Firepod. I've tried the set the External FX Send and Return track in Cubase but I don't think I did it fine.

When I Insert the M300, there's no more audio playing on the track or it plays but completely DRY.



what are some popular effects to get that big vocal sound?

when listening to a lot of songs, the vocals, especially in the chorus, sound natural but at the same time unnatural. they fill a lot of space and sound different enough to keep a lot of interest and focus on them. here are a few examples...



Fuel - Shimmer (fast forward to 1:00, you can hear the difference when the mix gets big)
