Home Recording (Bedroom Players)

[Boxedking]

may technique ba kayo para mas madaling malaman kung ano ang optimal position ng mic sa cab/speaker? assuming mag-isa ka lang, ang hassle kasi ng position-record-playback-adjust-rinse and repeat. unless sobrang isolated ng cans mo diba.

May video na ginawa si Ola about finding the sweet spot for the mic. Meron din ginawa si FearComplexMusic, kaso dalawang SM57 gamit nya.

[Ralph_Petrucci]

yung pinakita sakin ni paps rey (myn11), usually sa may harap lang, mejo off center. huling huli yung tunog. 1 SM57 lang.

5++K sir, I think sakto lang yung 4K for secondhand mint  kung galing dito sa classified yun, minataan ko rin yun

whew, buti na lang. was kinda wondering why the fast track was more expensive/popular. thought maybe the m-track is a dud. thanks!

yung 2ch M Audio M Track ba?
I sold mine for 4k Fixed.. Taga Ortigas ata naka bili somewhere in pasig.

I think, it's cheap only because it was produced before M-Audio merged with Avid who also owns the Digidesign/ProTools brand. So they started making nicer-looking but essentially the same products, took some features out (walang MIDI I/O sa Avid MBox na 2in) and bundled it with ProTools SE and charged as much as twice for it.

yup that one! pero napaisip ako magpass, di ko kasi alam kung kaya ng OS X magsabay ng dalawang M-Track. Apparently driver based sya so baka hindi gumana kung sakali.

Naka basa ako about re-amping a DI track...still can't wrap my head around that idea though, parang narinig ko din si Ryan Bruce aka Fluff na sinuggest yun.

Was recording a demo track for my punk band...napagtrippan kong palitan yung drumset sa EZDrummer within the MIDI track, from a normal set to electronic pack. Interesting results i must say hahahaha

i agree, kalokohan talaga yang Avid na yan (overpriced).

anyway, got the m-track because it's the cheapest one with MIDI I/O. didn't want to buy a separate overpriced box for MIDI or worse, a MIDI to USB cable.

I got it for almost the same reason. bang for buck, all the I/O you need for a decent solo home studio, including the MIDI. walang ganun na Avid, kahit Focusrite, for the same price.

yung multiple headphone outs, dinaan ko na lang sa Behringer splitter amp

mga sir what can you say about dun sa product ng peavey yung peavey xport i am planning to get one ok po ba sya for home recording ,any suggestions n pwede magamit maliban ssa nabangit ko , for macbook pro po pla dapat sya compatible , tnx

magkano yan?
bili ka na lang ng normal na USB interface, tapos gamiting mong amp sim yung Amplitube or Guitar Rig, libre lang yun. Mas sulit at ready para sa ibang inputs, tulad ng mics kung ready ka na mag mic ng amp, maglagay ng vocals, etc., tsaka MIDI pang input ng drums, etc.

[Boxedking]

Pangbinyag sa Mackie CR3 monitors ko. The mix sounded good on the CR3.

Okay lang, mas Tahimik kaysa Generic usb guitar link or bheringer usb guitar link. For guitar practice through pc pwede na. Pero kung recording konting dagdag nalang pwede ka na makabili used audio interfaces sa classifieds may mic input na.

need some advice.. nai-convert ko na unoccupied room into sound proof with aircon.. ihave already a drum set, my guitar and rig.. ano ano mga kelangan ko na simple lang para sa recording?

a decent audio interface and microphones.

[sonicassault]

a decent audio interface and microphones.

don't buy cheap mics! Shure, Audio Technica, Audix, etc. are the way to go. Two condensers (AT2020/AT2021) and one dynamic (Shure SM57/Audix i5) is the best minimum set you can get for a home studio IMO. syempre palitan ang brand at model depende sa preference, at least sa condensers. 

-mic stands
-pop filter para sa vocal mic (kung meron). pwede rin gumawa ng sarili gamit ang hanger at stockings
-good long XLR cables (bitin ang 5 meters promise)
-a decent computer. if it was made in the past 5 years, ok pa yan.
-new drum heads, kung luma na yung drum heads
-closed back headphones for monitoring. kahit cheap lang basta marinig mo. except kung isa lang ang gagamitin mo:
-good quality headphones for mixing. mas balanced ang tunog, mas ok.

optional:
-headphone splitter amp for simultaneous tracking, kung live recording ng buong banda
-shock mount para sa vocal mic (kung meron). pwede rin wala wag lang magulo.

yun mic kukuha ako ng samson g7 1.5k lang daw pero kelangan ko ba talaga yun mga audio interface?
medyo hindi ako makakapaglabas ng malaking pera nagcanvass nako mga 40k yan..
pwede sa PC na lang naka connect lahat using software?

[chiqgarcia]

drums: madaming mic na agad yan pre. the minimalist approach would require at least three mics, one for kick and two overhead mics panned hard left and hard right (no experience here, just read it somewhere). merong microphone set na nabibili for drum kits (more than three yun). so, microphones for drums alone... should be shouldered by your drummer kung gusto niyang masali sa recording, hahaha.

mic for guitar amp or DI box/multi-fx (with cab sim) straight to mixer/audio interface. mixer... hmmm... baka 2 mixers pa nga siguro... one as sub-mixer for the drums (lecheng drummer na yan talaga).

another mic for bass amp or DI box/multi-fx.

for the vocalist, okay na rin ang dynamic mic (as opposed to an expensive condenser). kung wala kang isolation booth baka marecord mo lang din ang room ambience pag condenser mic.

don't forget about the mic stands/booms (putik ang gastos).

my recommendation: hanap ka ng pirata ng ez drummer or groove agent... hehehe.

[dharzfreeman]

^tsk sa drum set palang tatlo na 

what if using software like cubase irecord ko na lang sila isa isa using one or two mic directly to PC?

[chiqgarcia]

okay cake muna bago icing...

1. the computer is an integral/indispensable part, so no worries if you have a decent one.
2. kung strictly recording lang ang gagawin (walang VST instruments/effects), your existing soundcard may be adequate... pero ingat sa DC bias which is common in consumer products. latency is not really an issue in this case, you could maybe buy an audio interface later na lang if you have outgrown your existing soundcard. just make sure na LINE IN yan at hindi MIC IN.
3. microphones/DI boxes, alam mo na yan, everything you need to connect your PC with the outside world. you can minimize number of mic's kung track-by-track at hindi live ang recording. just learn how to make a click track with your DAW.

saka ka na mag-canvass ng audio interface or pre-amps kung hindi ka masaya sa output mo. go go go!

=======================

"what if using software like cubase irecord ko na lang sila isa isa using one or two mic directly to PC?"

you still need 3 mics > mixer > stereo output > soundcard LINE IN.

Go for the interface first bro, mas importante yan.

Line in capable naman in this machine, thanks sir chiq helps a lot

Noted...

canvass ko muna next month.. kakukuha ko lang drum set.. pwede na 6 channels lang yun murang klase?
