What do you want to learn about recording?

[Ralph_Petrucci]

Maiba tayo, tumingin tingin lang ako ng mga studio sa net.. Bakit marami akong nakikita na track ball ang gamit instead of mouse?

Eto sa idol ko haha

since limited ang table space, mas madaling inavigate using the trackball. pati sa studio na pinagrerecordan namin, trackball sila.

+1
ayos lang din namankung kunwari naka Mac ka tapos naka Magic Trackpad masarap din gamitin yun, pero for super limited desk space, the best talaga ang trackball. Di sya gagalaw, tapos mas ergonomic sya kaysa sa trackpad.

May alam ba kayong free vst para sa cajon?


Or anong technique niyo pag haimbawa acoustic song with drums(vst yung drums pero ayaw niyo siya mag appear na maingay or angat since acoustic nga yung record) hahaha labo ng tanong ko, pero ayun.

[jepbueno]

^gamit ko ngayon yung drum machine na FPC ng fruity loops, pag medyo soft sounding gusto ko binabawasan ko lang yung velocity nung midi note. haha labo din yata ng sagot ko.

regular kit din, pero yung mga velocity at most 50% lang. tapos jazz kit. rim clicks. kung may brushes yun din, pero ang hirap i-program ng brushes. o kaya yung pinakamadali na maisip ko mic mo na lang yung cajon, tapos sabayan mo ng shaker 

[sonicassault]

Question:

May dalawa akong rhythm guitar tracks, acoustic, playing the same chords but with variations (say yung isa barre na G major tapos yung isa open G). Each is mic'd basically at the same spot with the same mic, mono lang. Of course, phase problems happen. I tried delaying a track up to 20ms and/or flipping the phase. I still get either a comb filter effect or a trippy wave effect. Any suggestions?

Ok mga bros! Got it, salamat ng madami!

standard drum kit parin, pero use a wood snare tapos mejo loose yng tuning, less velocity, no open hihats, ride and hats lang tska splash.

tapos reverb. para soft sounding.

si SuperiorDrummer meron siyang patch for jazz/cocktail kit. solid na yun paps.

pan one to the left, pan one to the right. mahirap yung ginawa mo kasi same micing technique na nga, same guitar pa.

pwede ka rin gumamit ng eq. yung isa naka scoop mid, yung isa, angat ang mids para litaw.

try ko yung eq trick, parang good idea yan. naka hard pan left and right sya eh, tapos ang ganda sa cans. tapos nung pinatugtog ko na sa stereo speakers yun phase problems 

next time magkaibang mic and positioning na gagamitin ko

wag hard pan. lalo kang magkakaissue nun. tama lang, alalay. tapos yun nga. eq lang. tapos pwede rin, gumamit ka ng compressor sa isa para lang maiba yung attack niya.

mmmm. oras na yata para mag move on sa LCR method 

[Ralph_Petrucci]

oras na talaga paps. didn't work for me. maganda lang LCR pag headphones.

if so, any tips for widening the sound stage? since a lot of my stuff is close miked, i don't really know how to make reverbs work the way it should. di kasi nagccreate ng space yung mga reverb ko. I must be doing something wrong 

also, if anyone knows how to do that delay on the other side to make a wide soundstage trick, please teach me! I tried it once, puro mud lang ang nangyayari  I'd like to use it on rhythm acoustic guitars, which is one of the most common applications of the technique.

get a better reverb plugin. particularly, yung may room simulator.

yung sa delay, i used to pan left and right, pero not too extreme, tapos delay ko yung right by 10ms. check mo si voxengo stereo, it does that for you by a knob.

also, next time, try to position mics differently, or use a different mic, or use a different guitar. mahirap talaga pag same na same ang equipment and technique, hindi lilitaw yung pag ka multi track ng guitar.

ako, i use a TAKAMINE EG340C, miced and then the piezo is on another track as well, I get extra Treble lang from the piezo, then the main guitar sound is via the AT2020 condenser, mic'ed on the soundhole.

next track, I mic my YAMAHA F310 Acoustic on the 12 fret; or if it calls for it, i mic it sa bridge lalo na pag strumming para makuha yung attack.

then same technique, slight panning, tapos reverb. I don't delay na.

walang phase problem yung pag mix nung micd at DI signals nung Takamine? konting tipid pa tapos bibili na ako ng Phoebus

wala kasi different sounding talaga sila in general. still considered electric guitar signal so may inherent brightness yung DI sound, so kinukuha ko lang yung treble or sparkle nung DI Track. yung sound niya galing parin sa mic-ed.

i just had this wild idea of using electric guitar > aco sim > aco body impulse response as the second guitar to the F-330. Hmmmmm...

unless the electric guitar is equipped with a piezo pickup, i would advise against this dahil nagiintroduce ng noise ang mga acoustic sim dahil sa increase in treble. pag nagnoise gate ka naman mawawalan ka ng dynamics. so... boom. painstall ka nalang ng elliot lemi haahha

Try mo 'to bro. Very useful if your panning doesn't help create a stereo effect.

Ano ung LCR method bro? Noob lang, pasensya.. Hehe

[jepbueno]

^Left, Center, Right.. ibig sabihin yata nun is almost always hard panning or don't pan at all. haha

Re: Stereo, di ba may mga plugins na stereo widener?

@Ralph, anong ibig sabihin nung ibang options kapag ni-right click mo yung pan knob ng Reaper (sa mixer)?

Un pala yun!!! Haha.. Now I know. Maraming salamat bro! 😊

It's a great technique to start with  Pero time na para sa akin para mag move on 

@jepbueno may options yung pan knob sa reaper? bakit di ko alam to? 

[jepbueno]

@jepbueno may options yung pan knob sa reaper? bakit di ko alam to? 

meron pero di ko pa natatry at nagegets. haha. Parang about sa distribution yata ng db pag nagpapan ka di ko pa talaga alam.

Re: LCR. Maganda rin maghard pan, pero siyempre, as usual kadalasan mas maganda pag not totally by the rules hehe. Sabi nga nila, ang bilang daw ng mixing methods ng mga pros, kasing dami rin ng mga pro mixing engineer. haha
