Hello hello. I just came across this site and it looks pretty cool.
Anyway,
so my friend and I are moving out to Arizona in a few months to pursue our band, etc. We've checked out some studios online, and also some studios in our area, and obviously with great quality comes great prices.

Okay so our my death metal band wants to do some recording. I have a Yamaha MG16/4 Mixing Console, a drum mic kit, Garageband, and a Mac Mini. I basically need to know anything and everything that could help me as I am just starting out. I want to be able to get a clear sound from the drums and a powerful but clear hit on the bass drum. And how should I go about recording the guitars?

I have a few questions about what would be the best way to proceed with a catalog I share with another writer and as a songwriter in general. If anybody knows a lot about this stuff, or thinks they have any good ideas, I would be very grateful.

Hi,

I am new to live sound recording. Now I am going to have a project which is a live recording session of Lead vocal with acoustic guitar and KB, Bass guitar and percussion on the side doing background vocals. I am concerning about the wiring issue: It contains Millennia HV-3D,Focusrite ISA430 MkII, an analog Studer mixer and a few mics in my gear list, so how do I get started?

Can anyone help me please? What do I need to hook up my PC running Sonar to a remote studio and enable realtime live recording via broadband?

Thanks
Alex

I want to record my garage band's practice sessions. But not in a position to spend so much. Using windows XP-SP2. I just want to know how will I record with two or more mics simultaneously into my laptop's sound recorder . I do have Audacity software, that facilitates numerous sound processing capabilities.

I'm trying to do a live off the floor recording by taking the Record Tape Out on a powered mixer and plugging the 2 stereo ouputs (a Y cable) into the Line-in jack on a USB line/mic device (basically an external sound 16bit/44Khz card). The PC is a fast WinXP box with 1Gb of Ram using Audacity or Soundforge.

Hi,
our band wants to record some demo tracks, and none of us have any recording experience. We are a five piece, and have a Soundcraft M4 mixer, and a Boss BR-600 recorder. What might be a couple of options for getting the bext recorded sound? We probably can't easily isolate the drums btw...
thanks guys!

Hi. Me and my friends want to record band practice but none of us have the slightest idea of what equipment we need. About the only thing we know is that we need mics and thats about it. So, what more equipment do we need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Heres what i'l be using: M-Audio Fast Track Ultra, PC-XP, 1 Shure SM58,2 SM-57's, any recommendations on a kick drum mic? i was going to use another SM58 because thats what i have laying around.
