I had this in the vocal booth but got no responses so I'm reposting here, sorry!

I'm recording vocals for a screamo band. This is my chain:

AKG 535EB > Groove Tubes Brick > RNC comp > ADA > VS-880EX

I've just started using Kontakt for MIDIs. In regard to the samples it comes with, how should I treat them when mixing?

Do they need the same EQ treatment as normal audio files? In other words, should I treat my Kontakt sample bass guitar as if it were any other audio track-recorded bass guitar?

Hi.. I'm new here! Came here via a link to the RecorderMan method thread. Just starting out with this whole home recording studio thing, and I'd like to try out the RecorderMan method on my drums. But I need some suggestions for some microphones. I need a pair of microphones that I can use for both overhead, and later for close Micing the snare/kick drum. (I only have two inputs).

Hello all,

I was sitting here on a slow morning, and a question popped up that has had me wondering from time to time, and thought maybe the minds here could lend some insight.

I've been recording bands for awhile now and my method has always been to record a scratch rythym track to a drum machine, (just a simple 1,2,3,4 beat). After getting the rythm track down I give it to the drummer in his headphones and record him playing to it.

Hi there,

I have a delta 1010 with the maximum of 8 channels in to record at one time. My question is this: (and probably one of personal preference but I'd like to hear your opinions anyway)

Hi, what methods do you use to align phase to avoid phase problems?

I tried some plugins, but I prefer always to spend more time placing the mics correctly to avoid phase problems, but sometimes they're very difficult to remove...

If you use plugins, What kind of plugins do you use?

Hi all,

Sorry to bother you again with my in depth thoughts and questions about transferring methods to the CD Plant.

But let's get it exposed! What is the best method(s) for the most accurate transport to the CD Plant.

Crew,

All set to perform bit format & sample rate conversions (in WaveLab) for CD pre-mastering...

& I ran across an old e-mail response from one of the tech brains at Cakewalk (I was about to upgrade to SONAR; & asked them some basic questions regarding 24/96 to 16/44.1 conversions.)

Does the Recorderman Method (© & TM, etc) work with hypercardioids? :D
