Hi, I'm a singer/songwriter recording my first demo at college and I'm getting some conflicting advice. I'm only recording acoustic guitar and vocal and wondered how best to do this, live with no headphone mix, to a click track and add drums later or should I still overdub? any advice welcome and much needed, cheers, TC

I have added 8 SPL Premiums Mic Pre's to my mic preamp arsenal http://spl.info/pro… RackPack 8: Sound Performance Lab.

Trying to get the same sound after vocals are printed doesn't compare.

What a glorious sound you get tracking into an LA-2A. It makes me wonder how the Apollo and the LA-2A plugin would stack up to the hardware. My guess is no contest to the real deal but if you have an Apollo, please chime in and let us know what you think.

Has anyone seen any good tutorials on mixing multitrack trance music songs? I'm needing help on how much to crank up EQ for which sounds, whether to use compression on this kick or that snare and how much.

Hi everyone,

Hi all - -

Anyone here track Choirs with the LA-2A or use them on the 2-bus?

Style: modern/pop/rock/fun/reggae/indie

Setup:

Dean Razor J-Bass
Ampeg BA112 Solid State Amp
PreSonus FireStudio Interface
Sonar 8.5 DAW
Boss Compressor Pedal

Tracking Options:

I know that headphones have been discussed a lot, but I thought I'd ask again with a bit of a specific focus. I want to focus on cans used for tracking, so accurate sound is not a big issue. The sound has to be clean and clear, but if it is hyped or cut in some area that helps a player improve performance so much the better.

PureMix has the http://www.puremix… mixing tutorials by Fab Dupont from Sweetwater's Gearfest 2011 up. They are free. Some comments.

1. As you would expect at a Sweetwater Gearfest there is a lot of focus on gear. But the sales pitch is relatively soft and I did not find it annoying.
