Hi -

Hope I picked the right Forum - I've been playing in a trio for the last couple of years. We are currently working a project, recording our second album. We've always recorded on our own home studio. PC based DAW, Audio Interface, preamps , condensor & dynamic mics.

This isn't so much a question, as an example of how I recently mic'ed a metal drum kit for a session.
All I was recording was the kit (minus a few scratch tracks), so my resources were plentiful.
Also, I am not mixing this project - my purpose was only to provide enough quality drum tracks for the mix engineer to work with.

I have been putting my RODE K2 on a [url=link removed A50[/url]. I noticed on another thread someone calling the K2 a "boat anchor" and I quite agree. The A50 does a great job keeping the K2 nice and stable, but it takes up a lot of real estate in my small studio. Does anyone have a suggestion for a stand with a smaller footprint that's still pretty stable.

I'm just doing some very basic recordings for some joke songs but i was wondering how when I'm listening to pro recordings the same guitar seems to come from wide both sides as opposed to the center.

What is the starting point to mix all this stuf?

We are done with recording guitars and drums, only bass left(me). WOHO!
Both guitarists doubled their guitar track with a different effect. So We have total of 4 guitar tracks. They sound really heavy, but little muddy, because there are 4 of them and they are not equed at all...

I only record one guy- he sounds like static-x singer Wayne Static- go listen at http://www.myspace.com/aliveatmyfuneral . Listen to Lord of Worms and Flies. I know that these vocals can sound better- They were recorded through an Audio-Technica AT4040, using a PreSonus TubePre preamp, straight in to the computer.

My post-hardcore/grindcore band is recording this Wednesday (hopefully). We were going to have a friend with a bunch of recording equipment record us but she's too busy so we're trying to rent equipment in addition to the equipment I have right now. Which is...

Ok, so my parents went to Peru for a while and brought me back this beautiful acoustic guitar made by a small Peruvian shop called Effo Guitars. Upon first playing this acoustic, it sounded great and was very easy to play. However, it had ridiculously light gauged strings on it, which are not suitable for the style of music that I play.

I have a monster '89 Randall Tube guitar amp it has 9 tubes in the bloody thing! Its a 1/2 stack with a slant cabinet. I am a big fan of Hard rock and metal.

Hey everyone. I have Pro Tools with a digi002, a PreSonus preamp, and SM57's. Whenever I record guitar its very weak sounding. Rightnow I have two mono channels of a guitar track panned hard left and two mono channels of a different guitar track panned right.
