    Reamping RME Babyface Redeye3D Reaper

    I don't even use Totalmix with my FF800. Just use the routing matrix in Reaper. Assign your Gtr/Bass DI track to e.g. output 8 and plug in your re-amp box there. Simple as fuck really. edit: Not familiar with how man outs Babyface has xD

    How do you approach recording drums...?

    I grew insane tracking each part. I created folders for each run-through and recorded each song 3 times over. After comping the best parts together I punched in the few parts that needed to be played better.

    Neumann KM184 vs Rode NT5 vs Oktava MK012

    Thanks for posting. For me it was an easy choice, KM184 > MK012 > NT5.

    CPU Overloads, Crashing, and Computer Specs.

    Go to a forums on a enthusiast site such as www.anandtech.com and give them your budget and what you'll be using it for. They'll give you very good list and usually the best bang for your buck. ps. if you aren't playing any games, it's really cheap to build a machine since graphics cards to...

    CPU Overloads, Crashing, and Computer Specs.

    First of all you've only got 3GB's of RAM, that's nothing really for a DAW when you use virtual instruments (it's alright when you're just working with real tracked material). Second your CPU is about 6 years old and was at the time an entry level budget junk, it's worth about 5$ now. So time...

    What am I doing wrong? (Reaper)

    When you've picked the take you want press Ctrl+L to only see the active take. I usually avoid making takes overlap when recording guitar, rather have 2 tracks and jump between them. For drums I have 2 sets of tracks; first set for recording the whole thing trough a few times, overlapping and...

    Aims and goals and attitudes towards productions

    The main thing is that people nowadays are used to a certain standard. This goes for music and film. If its great people don't really notice how great it sounds/looks. If there are flaws they'll immediately spot it and take issue. Take of example one of today's biggest metal acts Opeth. Most of...

    Thanks guys, I think I'll go with a mesh then.

    Getting in signal from a kick pad

    Do mesh heads really dampen the sounds as much as a pad, I don't want to hear the drum in the other mics.

    Getting in signal from a kick pad

    Well the reason I think it will ease the recording process it that the drummer has a tough time nailing some double kicks. So by eliminating the kick from the OHs and the other mics I can deal with the bass drum afterwards with ease, since its going to be replaced with a sample anyway. At...

    Getting in signal from a kick pad

    So I'm planning to record drums with a full kit except using a kick pad to ease the recording progress. I was wondering how to get a signal from the pad. My first thought was to mic the beater, then I thought to build a piezo mic and strap it on there. Anyone who has tried this or has any...

    Commercial rock track. Real everything, no samples

    Great sound, what type of Yamaha bass guitar exactly was used?

    How do keep drummer sane?!?

    Is he having problem with something specific, like nailing the double kicks? My drummer is pretty awesome with his hands and writes cool stuff. His double kicks though are pretty sloppy and thats probably because he doesn't really practice double kick heavy material, when he arrives first to...

    Frozen Sun Audio - Fredman IRs

    Quality over quantity all the way. Guess people are just used to being able to download illegal software suites which they use 2% off nor have the knowledge to use. I myself just use a few plugins that I can count on 2 hands and I got them for under 500$

    Frozen Sun Audio - Fredman IRs

    He's making custom IRs for you to purchase (if you like) and he's not selling them in the thousands like the vendors you mention so obviously the price is higher. And they sound f-in good. Vendo you sound like a 13 year old running your mouth to ppl while playing CoD, I do hope you feel better...
