Snoop, you're confusing me.

Why don't you just like...get a tape recorder, put it in the middle of room, and then get the band to just play the songs. Mke heaps of copies of the tapes and vwoila!

^ nub! Destroyed my deathing of casual!!

Because:

a) I'm not in a band currently (drummers and bassists always seem to get shafted)

b) I record solo

c) I need to record piano, drums, bass, synth, sampler, turntable and percussion.

d) I need to get rid of background noise and make my drums sound good

:thumb:

Ohhhh.......ok.


My friend came over and recorded at mine the other night. We just recorded it in my kitchen in like...three takes on my Mac. Good enough for us!

paul, how do you play these "valved" notes?

Record your drums over this ... tape recorder ... in the middle of the room.

Then set up a mic above your kit and record it into said tape player

Now set up mics on each drum on your drum kit, going into a mixer, into an MTR.

Now run inserts off each channel into a compressor.

Notice the difference between all these?

Unfortunately I can't afford compressorage for each channel so I need to work out how to share a compressor between every mic on the kit. My dilemma. And I have to figure out how to do this WHILE recording cuz my MTR only has two (stereo) inputs, so once it's in there, it ain't comin back out as individual channels.

I have an 8 hour orientation at work today, atleast Im getting paid to go.

Umm...valved? The notes above the other notes on that picture I posted?

No idea. I can't bend or anything for crap, it's really hard. You've gotta like, change the shape of your throat and mouth and tongue and crap. I dunno. I'll find some links for you.

I used to record using two dodgy mics into a dodgy $10 2 channel mixer from cashies, into the mic in on my laptop. I'm trying to upgrade :)

And I think I needa poop.

How do you bend?!

I can't do it for crap.

when you're drawing you make your mouth bigger, and when blowing you make it smaller. it's hard to explain! uhhmm, i just play as if i was sitting here making wah-wah sounds.

"weoeehhhho woehhh wweeeeeeehho"

Actually wait...I can bend as well. I thought I was making funny noises as well, haha.

hah! i suppose there a trick to knowing how far up or down you've gone as well

Yea, I suppose you've just gotta keep practising. Eventually it'll get easier. :cool:


I just took a dump and sat around and played harmonica on the toilet. It sounds cool as hell in there. :p
