The SOLE reason I'm getting a Mac Mini. We worked with GarageBand a bit... It's amazing. I fucking love it's recording capabilities.

Im waiting for my Motu 828 mkII to arrive in the shop. I bought it, its just not in stock. Lame.

And its due to come in either thursday or friday, but i'm going away for a long weekend to see some friends. So i can't play with it

I guess I left out a key point. I use a power attentuator, a THD hot-plate, so I've already got the volume up pretty high, and slaving the fx loop allows me to pump twice as much power through the tubes. Essentially by doing this the send and return knobs become gain knobs. And it is the preamp tubes not the power tubes absorbing the load. It's similar to principle of cascading gain introduced by the mesa boogie Mark I.

The recording turned out fairly well.

Translating the Name instrumental.

happy hanukkah aaron
new headphones

wuts a good tube amp thats cheap? does marshall have tube amps?

Good luck recording. Buy a shitload of memory--with the numbers that those bargain bin macs are putting out you'll need it.

ok this is where my knowing nothing about recording comes into play..

ive heard very good things about the sm57, and im thinking about getting one soon, i have never used anything more advanced than my computer mic.

so can anyone explain to me like how i would connect it to my computer and all that good stuff

if you have an sm 58 take the screen off and the foam...you have an sm 57

i dont have an sm58

so that is what saosin sounds like without all the bells and whistles.....junk


good job brian

easy robby.
no need to be a meanie.

I need to speak with you on tracking drums. Please.

Good job Brian. I really liked it. Keep it up.

Keep the personal stuff outside of the boards.

as if anyone knows what that means.

I got my MOTU!

They know we're having an affair.

i want the whole world to know.

As long as you love me. Thats all that matters? Do you love me?

HELP. ADOBE AUDITION.
im using it. i have headphones. i record track 1. great. i record track 2 while listening to track 1. mic records me but...it also records track one onto track 2. but its not picking it up from the mic. it must be on the program. understand? anyone know how to help?

haha I just notcied this. Nah you just have what looks like one.

Things like these, is why Adobe Audition always pisses me off.
It does all these little annoying things, that I never manage to get rid of

I only use Cool Edit Pro 2 (now adobe audition) for mastering and EQing final mixes.
Its not ideal for multitracking although it can do it.

Get NUENDO!

You have to be on my buddy list to contact me. PM me your screenname or something.

Just wanted to post what "the cave" looks like now with the MOTU. It fitted in the gap perfectly. Just removed a draw to put the Amp and MOTU in.
I really wish i didnt have a hangover. I have no motivation to record anything
I also wish i could actually create a piece of music that doesnt sound like something else.

I call my room "the cave" as well.

its my parents that call it the cave.

losers

fuck parents, they're not actually good for anything are they.


Even though i have no idea what any of that stuff is, it looks awesome. Good job.

pretty sick

haha I was going to say it was my parents that call it that as well, but I guess I call it that now. Do they call it "the cave" because you never come out of it?

are you dumb?
its a screen...and speakers and a mouse and more speakers and a keyboard and a radio and earmuffs.

What a joker ^

yeh Brian its called the cave because i never come out of it. Apparently.

how do i record drums?

im planning on getting some drum mics (well my drummer is for x-mas) and so how would i record them on to my comp


sorry im such an idiot

I would like to know this as well.

with drums, you can do a full mic set up with about 8 mics, but you will need the mics and 8 pre's, or, a mixer with 8 pres. thats the best choice. the best would be the 8 seperate pres so you can edit each track. you can also mic drums with 3 mics. i know theres a guide for micing drums with 3 mics and having it come out good. i have miced drums with only 1 mic and had it come out not too bad. you can do that by placing the mic about 10-15 feet away from the set, aiming the mic under the crash cymbols, but above the bass drum.

is it free?

i love recording drums. I wanna get a kit in my room. But it'll just be too noisy.

if anyone has/can get/find the "east west gold orchestra" vst instrument, then i will be eternally grateful!

For drums I recommend Shure SM57's for toms, a Shure Beta 52 or AKG kick mic, and Audix overheads. For the kickdrum, it sounds good if you take the front head off (the side you dont hit) and place the mic inside. Then put a big blanket over the bass drum (obviously not over the part you hit). Hope that helps.

thank you, you all helped tons

I'm not going to be going out to buy mics to track the drums. I'm just going to use the mic's we already have. Which is just 4 AKG Acoustics

D 8000 S
Dynamic Microphone
Freq Range 80hz - 20,000 hz
Impedance 500
Sensitivity 2.0mV ?pa
Polar Pattern: Supercardioid
Surface: matt black

whats a good cheap mixer to get?

is this one alright? Behringer Eurorack UB1202 Mixer or this Behringer Eurorack UB1222FX-PRO Mixer, well i know this second one is better but is it worth the price?

will i be able to use this with adobe audition 1.5 ?

how do i hook them up to my comp do i need to buy anything seperatley to accomplish this?

i jsut want to make sure i got everything i need

Behringer is not a good quality buy. Try to find something else.

whats a good brand?
