Re: Home Recording Question

Brian Neal (xarxas) - 12 Jan 2004 12:16:41

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the reply. I do think my software has a normalize
function, and I can try that. Now that I think about it, I may have
just tweaked something the wrong way or had some faders too far down
when I was mixing. I'm not sure, I've definitely got some more
experimenting to do. But it is pretty frustrating when you hear a
sharp, snappy, aggressive guitar tone with your ears as you play,
but when you go back and listen to the recording its faint and kind
of washed out.
How about a mic preamp? Would that help boost the gain of the mic?
It seems kind of odd that I have this mic pointed right into the
speaker of a Showman with the volume up on 3, but the recording
sounds like the mic is a block away from the amp.
How are most bands recording CD's these days? Did the Nebulas step
into an actual "real" recording studio? Didn't the Infrareds record
their latest on home stuff?
How about the Mach IV? Ferenc? Mel?
Anyone else with a band please feel free to jump in here.
When you record for an album, are you playing at stage level
volumes, as if doing a live show?
Well I have a lot to learn, and I'll definitely sign up for that
magazine. Thanks again, and looking forward to any reponses.
