Ok, who did you guys piss off? In the good old days this forum used to be listed high on the Pro Talk menu, right up there next to Fletcher, and now it's buried among the (shudder) guitars and basses? In a moment of panic I thought it had been discontinued! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Ok, since I just noticed the title of the forum has changed to Tracking and Mixing, we can officialy talk about recording too. I'm all for that, cause tracking is my favorite thing to do, with clothes on that is. I think the thing I like most about tracking is every new session is a clean slate.

Which compressor would you prefer for tracking VOCALS to a DAW? If none of the above, what would be your first choice?

OneMan

What's poppin,

Hi
I am about to track some drums on 2", and i want to make sure that I don't screw anything up. This time it has to be perfect.
One of the things i'm worried about is phase cancellation. .i hate phase cancellation. all my drumrecordings sounds like they suffer from it. don't wanna hear it anymore.

What compression settings do you use for tracking drums?
Kick
Snare
hat,crash, ride
toms
Thanks, Mike

Since I'm on the beginners forum... please, watch the budget :)
What kind of mics do you guys have and use to track drums?

How are the pres on this board for rock basics - a Ludwig/Ampeg/Marshall 3 piece? Any experience appreciated..

i purchased a M-600 console with lots of extras that came with a running MegaMix 32channel VCA system inluding a Mac IIfx. i use Nuendo and its automation of course for mixdown.

Most of the songs I've written and recorded are done featuring instrumentation in mind
(since I can't sing to save my own mothers life). I play mostly Jazz/funk, R&B etc and my recordings consist heavily of 4 piece horn section keys,gits,drums with a horn usually playing the melodic portion of the jam.
