Hi group,

I am a new member to this site. It really looks like a ton of great information. I am glad I found it. I have a quick question about recording software but first here is my current gear set-up

I plan on doing some recording, including vocals. So far, I have a GT-PRO and PODXT which I could record direct into my computer for bass and guitar, so that's solved.

I currently have a condenser mic that I borrowed from a friend that needs to be run on phantom power. AKG C4000B to be specific (it's all that he has)

My band just recorded some songs in the studio, and we have some difficulties with mixing the guitars. The songs where we use acoustic, and clean guitars sounds really good, but the songs with overdrive/ crunch guitars sounds very muddy. This is really quite strange because the guitars sounded really open and raw while we where recording them, but they just sound tame in the mix.

Hi Guys,

I am interested to know about ur Favorite Tracking & Mixing Chain?

Tell me please which mic, micpre, compressor & eq u use in tracking & mixing for Vocals.

Im trying to mix down vocals on hip hop and drum&bass and the vocal track is sounding very seperate from the music. I'm gunna try to bus the tracks together and add compression and reverb.. is this the best way to go?

Hi all! I'm looking at purchasing this board as a front end/sound card all in one for my modest home studio. http://www.zzounds.com/item--PHOHELIX18FW

So, I know a general idea is to keep your mixes peaking at around -3dB on mixes ITB. Some people told me to keep drums peaking at -12dB so there's enough room to put all the other instruments in.

I've heard that it's better to mix every channel in a digital mix in a low volume so that the master output channel doesn't clip, instead of lowering the master volume 3,4,5dB to avoid master output mixing, is this necessarilly true? why?

Hello,

I am looking for some advice. I do exclusively location recording (church choirs, school concerts, that sort of thing). My "studio" is simply a room in my house that I have optimized for critical listening and mixing. Given I still have my day job, and limited space, anything I can do to be more efficient (both less time and taking up less room) is of interest to me.

i want to know how to get ma vocals sweet in nuendo i added some reverb and delay to the verses an chorus reverb an delay on da chorus but the levels went up wat can i do to get it balance
