Our recordings sound great IMO for what were using, but there missing some vocals. We have a guy thats capable of singing decent for the time being, but when i record him it makes him sound worse than he is, so. For one its partly the mic for sure. I need some help on

Do modern rock recordings, like say from bands like Modest Mouse, The Strokes, or Korn (or anything in that range to harder and softer), generally apply gating to bass drums, snares, and toms?

I just got a pair of the Studio Projects C4's and to me, using one C4 on my voice sounds so much better than my C1. I sing hard rock, and the C1 was sounding too "tinny" on the high end and thin bodied. Granted, I'm only using a GT brick preamp into an MBox, but swapping to a C4 makes a hell of a difference.

I have been writing songs for awhile. All I need now is a pro audio music program that is compatible with rock/electro songs. Any suggestions?

I own a small semi private studio in which i've done a lot of & gotten pretty good with recording & engineering vocals, electronic/digital gear and Guitars. However i have been asked by a friend to consider recording a project with a rock band using all real instruments and have no experience at all with Micing drums. I have listed my euipment below..

extreme Noob needing advice. I need to record video and audio of a live rock/metal band performance.

We have two camcorders and a laptop.

What I want to know is, do you'll recommend taking an out from the mixer to the camcorder... or recording via the laptop.

Happy festive holliday season everyone!

So I'm making the step to Cubase SX3, and I couldn't be happier. I just need to know, how do the included effects etc.. stack up? I noticed that the EQ is integrated in the channel.. convenient, but I also read that the quality leaves a bit to be desired, and doesn't match the standards that Nuendo sets forth.

I've been drafted to record a rockabilly band next month, but I've never recorded a live upright acoustic bass before. I've been shooting ideas around in my head, but haven't figured a good way to mic it. I want to run it in thirds (mic left panned hard left, mic right panned hard right, mic centered perfect stereo) but not sure what mics to use.

Check out the article at the other end of this link about the music industry, and send it to anyone even remotely thinking of getting into the business.

hey, i'm working with a band with a sound similar to that of story of the year or matchbook romance, and i'm reviewing those band's records to get some ideas and what not. listening to story of the year's "page avenue" i'm hearing a ton of compression on the vocals, but it adds kind of a cool effect in some parts. ive tried messing around with some ideas, but can't quite identify it.
