Modern equipment is so advanced that anyone can gain great recordings on any budget with just a little bit of know-how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozpeter Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Well, it seems to be a good compendium of advice compiled from various websites - Google for some of the phrases used and you may find yourself at sites which can extend what's contained in the pdf.

rayzray Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) Hey Ray , I think you will find the part about the Vocal Recording Techniques in the 60's&70's to to be very entertaining.Thx for the commentsok,, will do;; although i am an advocate of "Voice EFX";; and "Art of Noise" Quilology..i would rather put my mics to my Roland Harmonizer;; or my DigiTech Vocal 300 Vocal Prossssessssor..i was TRYING to sleep;; but the CD i was listening to (Madina Lake) was mentally challenging my mind and ears..Madina Lake shudda read this article BEFORE recording their CD;; and possibly separated their lead vocalist from the insane distorted rhythm guitar..how can a band be so eloquently acoustic;; and defiantly EMO..!!should they have read your PDA;; PHD;; or PPP;; as to mic placement;; and studio recording;; theyr wudda put me to sleep better..

Are you Borean or , or antogonist? ... It has some similarities yes , and certain phrases are constant throughout the recording industry , any engineer who has learned , will come to the same conclusions about a lot of things , then after that are the personal touches and tastes in how the finished product turns out .

rayzray Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) well;; IMO;; when i read it;; it didn't seem redundant;; and it was interesting;; and refreshed me mind..i have studies all this sooooo many times in my life and FORGET it as fast as i read it;; cause;; i really don't APPLY it in my life..i mostly PLAYED in studios;; rather that engineered,,etc..i see this whole subject as a mirror image of one song sounding "Similar" to another;; and the myth that one person must have "STOLE" that song from someone else..there are ONLY a few scales and chord progressions in our lifetime;; and we all have to "Write" DIFFERENT songs from the same sources..yes;; some ppl "Steal" songs;; but many just use the SAME riffs we all studies from in practice books;; the "Buggs" bood;; the Hannon series;; the Berkley/Boston Texts which the Guitar ones are the BEST for my piano students..IMO;; GOOGLE is a violator of copywrite laws and just a plain copy-KAT;; but of course we all use it.. (as we all steal music from everywhere)..oh,, Guitarfxr,, i read that 60's 70's stuff;; but,, just because i am almost 64;; doesn't mean i "Like" the 60's and 70's;; i do not dwell on the PAST;; and only love to listen to "New" music;; and new bands creating------New "Stuff' from Old Stuff and scales and dales,, chords and discords..i think more like a radical 15 year old;; and as i listen to my new Madina Lake CD and all the prettiness and ugliness a song can have;; using the same old chord progression and scales..

It was the part in the Compression section , about the doubletracking where one track had the %#%$ squeezed out of it , I thought you might find that funny.yes;; i DO "Rock" if you may say so;; i will "Rock" till i'm 99 Years old;; and on my 100th Birthday i will still "Rock" (if i make it that far)they say "only the Good die young" so i should live forever..yes;;that was a funny spot in the text;; i liked it.. that WORD (%#%$) IS my favorite word in the English language;; and i use it a LOT in appropriate situations..speaking of ((the track that had the %#%$ Squeezed out of it));; i can associate that with my "Singing"..i used to use a load of reverb/delay on my voice for years and years;; and no one could ever really prove if i was singing the word "Luck",, "Duck" ,, or %#%$..i used to drive the crowd crazy.. i made sure my mouth was right up to the Ball of the mic so no one could "Read my Lips" too..

King Ghidora Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm glad to be back from computer banishment land. I've been trying to get a new satellite internet setup going and I ended up doing the whole reformat thing. So I'm way behind on everything right now. I hope to get to read this soon. Maybe I'll learn just how out of touch I really am. I downloaded a copy and am looking forward to checking it out. Thanks for posting it.

King Ghidora Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Yeah but actually I had a DirecPC dish that I used for about 8 years before this. I started out on AOL's satellite service but they sold out to DirecPC and they sold out to HughesNet. AOL service was great for about 3 years. No download restrictions of any kind and speeds between 2-3mbps. DirecPC or DirecWay as it became known was super for a while too. I got speeds between 5-6mbps which was awesome but there were some download restrictions. I could download about 150 meg in 10 minutes or so but then the speed dropped to dialup speed. It took about 8 hours to get completely back up to top speed gradually. Hughes took over and things were already headed downhill. By the time I dropped the service I couldn't get dialup speeds except late at night. I'm setting up a SkyFX system right now. It's been nothing but headaches so far. The old HughesNet software conflicted with it so I ended up reformating. And I still can't get the dish pointed. I've pointed a dish 25 times or more but I can't get this one. Something's wrong and the company won't even answer the phone right now. They rolled out a new setup and they've had a ton of problems with it. Maybe someday soon I'll get it up and running.
