Hi,

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to link some vids from a Canadian Brass Quintet session or two. These can help give a visual example of what one production team decides to do in a given situation. Realize that every engineer has their own pet tricks though most are highly flexible in changing to get the desired result.

Ok, well I was recording guitar tracks today for over 6 hours with a Shure SM57 mic, placed right between the center of the speaker, and the outside edge. I was Micing my Line 6 Spider IV 150W Halfstack, and recording into a Tascam DP-004. The guitar I was using was a Gibson Les Paul Studio. I wondering though...could I get a better sound out of my smaller Line 6 Spider III 75W 1X12 Amp?

I now have Cubase running not too badly, and all the MIDI is going in and out. I have finally gotten the cables plugged in so the signal travels all the way through. The biggest obstacle here was my master keyboard (Roland A90EX), because I did not realize that in order to use the MIDI THRU port, you have to have the signal coming in MIDI IN 2, not port #1, as most would assume (including me).

Doing sound for 4 bands, our first gig...Here's what I have (or have coming) for gear: (All Yorkville, being a Canuck)

AP812 Powered Mixer A, B Amps 450 watts into 4 ohms

Pr. YX15's 300 Watts pgm Plan to use these as FOH
Pr. E12's or PL10's for stage monitors (the E12's are probably the best spkr I have)
4 stands
LS200 powered sub

I'm looking for a small production/mix room in the Los Angeles. If would be great if it has access to a large recording room but not necessary. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Benny
