    Alright thanks for the input. I'll try to mess with the snares a bit, and also play around with some of the balancing. Also, do you guys feel like any instruments or parts are missing? I dont have much background in symphonic outside of chamber orxhestra (violins viola cello bass). Appreciate the feedback, and leave more if you guys think of any!

    Dead Pixels Actually Not Dead?

    in General Discussion

    i have this problem. the problem involves only your screen, not at all your computer (to make sure, try plugging in a diff computer on the monitor). for me, when i turn on the monitor, it's fine initially, but then that slowly turns to this big ugly bruise-like thing (hundreds of 'dead' pixels). there's also a pattern to the dead pixels, for me at least. they all cluster and look almost like a corner of a smaller square within the monitor's screen. it's time to get a new monitor.

    alright, thanks guys. I'll agree that the melody line is changed into oblivion. I really only followed it from like 0:15 to 1:20, and even then, I was quite liberal i guess. After that, i just did whatever came to mind as I played without regard to the original, besides the MOOD of the original.

    Basically, my main focus was to keep the general atmosphere of the original; the only difference between the two is in the last third, where I tried to transition into a lighter tone.

    Anyways, anymore comments? Anything regarding production and such would also be appreciated.

    thanks for the honesty jamesgeorge. I should really reevaluate my obsession with sticking with 2 guitars no matter what. It's just that I've played gigs in a duet for over two years now, and so I see any more than 2 guitars both as a distraction (too cluttered) and as a cheap way of filling in any blank spots. I would prefer both guitars being quite distinct from one another.

    But i will probably rerecord with your suggestions; i'll probably find a room in my church with decent acoustics so that I don't have to mess with artificial reverb and eq.

    i have a sm57, km184, and some random ~100$ condenser mic (dr-cx1). I can only use two at once. Which ones do you think I should use, and where should I place them?

    I will sorta agree with Altus here. While I did not consciously make the decision to make it sound like it came from that time period, it definitely is a sound I prefer to the rather flat sound I was getting before. Still, though, I think I will follow Avaris's suggestion to some extent, since there are some spots that are dangerously near clipping, and the harmonics are sometimes hard to hear.

    thanks a bunch for the suggestion. I'll definitely lay off on the eq for boosting the bass. however, what did you mean specifically for "besides the jazz"?

    lol or maybe you just meant jazz as in what you said earlier. haha sorry, my gig partner is a jazz guitarist, so i've been influenced by jazz. thought you were pointing out some jazz-influenced thing that in the song.

    Recorded with a km184 and a shure sm58 (to closemic and get a nice bassy sound). Overdubbed, added a bit of eq (increase lower frequencies by about 6db), and reverbed.

    right now, i'm not exactly happy with the sound i'm getting from my guitar; the sounds are too thin in my opinion. If anyone can help solve this through eq, that'd be nice.

    tell me what you guys think

    new mixer/preamp

    Hey guys. I've been using an m-audio firewire solo

    http://www.oulunsoitinjatarvike.fi/kauppa/kuvat/atk/m-audio/firewire_solo.jpg

    for quite a while now, and, since I have nothing else to compare it with, I have had no gripes with it. Until now. Basically, I record classical guitar with a single mic right now (I run through the preamp and then into Audacity software with firewire cable), but I want to put my other mics to use as well. I'd love to try out stereo miking.

    Thus, I need a mixer with at least 2 XLR inputs (+ the 1/4" inputs) with phantom power on both. I would also need stereo outputs. I guess this leads to another quick question: can I stick in the two left/right cables into those "1/4in. unbalanced line inputs" on the back of the m-audio preamp and expect to see two separate tracks on Audacity? Heh, I'm pretty new to all of this; I'm pretty sure it would work, but just to be sure :P

    Also, I'll be using a laptop in conjunction with all of this equipment (bah that brings me to another question. Will using a firewire-adaptor expresscard to connect the m-audio preamp hurt the sound quality at all?). Mmhmm, so the mixer shouldn't be a ginormous monstrosity.

    So, you guys got any recommendations? or even tips would be nice.
