Re: recording play back

Headphones will sound "bassey" during playback or when recording. Your final mix is what you should be concerned about. That will be when you want to maximize the sound coming out of those Altec's. If you can make your song sound good through those, you should be golden. Just keep everythi...

Re: Best. Website. EVER!

Mine replies "Server Error". Let me help the "Server".

12 (at least) year old Glenlivet Scotch served gently and minimally over the rocks.

Stir with an (at least but not beyond) 18 year old female nipple, lick cleaned by the recipient and serve.

Re: ever recorded killer backing

The only fight I ever won, I think may have been because of backing vocals. Some back story, I grew up listening to my brothers and sisters listening to the Beatles and other vocal oriented groups. When I took my interest in music, I started replicating what I had heard vocally. Bear in mind that I ...

Re: Electric Drums needed

Pintech makes a fairly nice alternative to the Roland V-Drums. Similar woven head technology compared to the hard rubber pads of the Simmons or Yamaha sets which will make for much happier neighbors. You can pick them up fairly cheap on E-Bay. I have played them before and liked them, but I'm a guit...

Vote for at least 2 songs?

It's been a while since I have been here and I only did a brief search but what's up with the having to vote for at least 2 entries thing?

Re: let's buy me an expensive studio vocal mic!

Kind of a dead topic and I don't frequent here as much as I used to, but reading this thread reminded me of one of the other times this came up. Took me a minute to find my link, but this song illustrates perfectly how big budget mics aren't always needed to produce a quality song. In the end I thin...

Re: Inexpensive microphone recommendation

I'm looking forward to my first foray into the Ribbon mic arena with this inexpensive offering from Nady . Note that it accepts, in fact needs 48V Phantom Power to operate. The knock on ribbon mics in the past has been the need for a high end pre-amp to get enough gain out of them for general use an...

Re: Pedal boards

Lunkhead I'm late to the party as usual. I have one of these and it works great. I can second Billy's thoughts on ease of use and have one of these because of that. But I still insist individual pedals sound better despite the pain in the ass factor. Here's my setup. http://i33.photobucket.com/album...

Re: Wishlist woes - What do I want for Christmas

I'm sure Ray and Denyer have something like this on their lists.

I of course have ammo and guns on mine. Because I'm American, and we shoot things here.

It's like the old west without all the pomp and circumstance of fancy schmancy Austrailia.

My website, which I have long suspected of not being worth mentioning, must have a value of < $0.

Re: Easy Songs to Play Drums with

It's debatable of course but I think the entire Ringo Starr catalog is a good place to start. The Car's suggestion is good as well, but let me take it a step further and suggest Gary Numan's "Cars" song. Solid easy beat, tempo changes, big cymbal hits in place of the synthesized snare drum...

Re: Vocal Mixing

A new mic isn't necessarily the answer just to add something else for you to consider. An SM58 is more than adequate to get a decent vocal track down. You need to make sure you're watching all of your meters first and foremost. Your pre-amp doesn't offer much in that regard (just "signal" ...
