That's why the band should have input to the result's. It makes the Engineer/Producers life easy if they just do what they want without listening to the band's. Every band is different so require a different mix style.

It wont sound Stadium Rock if done well. I will just be your band sounding really tight and ready for airplay.

Thats what takes the time

christ so ure saying 1000 pound for 3 songs?

If you want it done to a very high standard yes. You can do it quicker but you cant get the same finish, the basics will be there but none of the polish

If it is to send to Record co's then 3 good well recorded tracks will do much better than 10 poorly recorded tracks..Fact!

nice one. so how long would it take to record and mix 3 songs ' date=' in your experience? Also would it be possible to just record then take the files home to mix at home yourself? cheers.[/quote']

To do the tracks well you would need at least 1 day per track for record and mix. you can do it quicker but quality suffers. when working for record co's I spec 3 days per track for the whole album, Some are done quicker some take longer.

You could take the files home to mix, but remember the studio has lots of expensive equipment (1 reverb = 10k) great dest and eq's, and Monitors that are very true (also over 10k for 2) But you do have the choice just to record..

You should book enough studio time to Record And Mix. It is your band so you have a say in how you want it to sound, But it should be recorded the way you want it and not try correct it in the mix.

Hi there! Check out our studio at www.oceanrockstudios.co.uk.

We use Protools' date='

"to get a sound identical to the top London Studios"

001 isnt really propper protools, What converters are you using to get the same quality as the London Studios? Hi resolution 24bit stuff??

Is that Yamaha Live desk your main studio desk and preamp, eq section?

What monitors/Amps do you use?

Any Neumann TLM103's AKG C12vr's, MD421's 414's KM84's etc?

You could have Me at www.The-Byre.com for about 22 per hour (based on day rate) With the right gear

Try saving a bit more. It isn't worth skimping on the vocal mic, It will cause more problems if it is cheap. If you can get 200 ish It would be much better.

I have had some I first tried with 1:2 water mix and it was still stronger than normal, then worked upto 3:1 which was good. I will have to try again wheen the sugar/spoons turn up .. Good stuff

It wasnt just Gus you where drinkng with

Do you want A good Recording Or A Pro Recording? What do you want to do with it?? send to record co's etc or just sell local??

What is your aim and what sort of budget?

Cool I want one

Soundscape you are into days before a restart, then it is only the PC needs to reboot.

Can someone get a working soundscape rig at home for under 300 though

Can you get a working Protools rig????? one that doesnt crash every 5 mins. I have not seen one yet. and that includes 30k pro setups.

I go out for a good drive that usually works.

damn improved it "again"' date=' better than when we were last there?

Nice one!!

Yes we have improved more snce then

All that has happened recently is, We have improved the sound again. We have done this with the new tonally flat monitors, fully acoustically deadened stage and some special adjustments .

We have just completed the new backline update, which now includes:

Marshall DSL 100 & 4x12

ENGL Powerball & 4x12

Ampeg SVT2 Pro with 4x10

all is ready for any band to use if they so wish.

If anyone wants to try the amps etc come down on a Sunday and have a jam.

We have an engineer in Aberdeen who can take you through all the pre-production and talk you through the project.

That will be me then

If you come down to the Moorings over the weekend I will be there if you want a chat.

Mark,

Ian! That is kinda the idea. It does work

Chris (Muse Bassist) uses clean bass from amp 1, Microsynth (square wave setting) and a bit of fuzz. then just mixed together in amp 2. recording it, Take the clean Amp mic ch 1, DI into the FX into Ch 2 the FX can have the bottom rolled off to stop it altering the clean bass, The fx is blended in to the clean until you have the right sound..

Thanks Flash!! I really wanted your arse im my face

This type of mic has been around for a while! I have not heard any that sound good at all. But if they have made them really work then they would be good for the touring bands to just plug&play. Studio's I dont think (other than FX track) they will be better than the usual Kit mic's

Yes it is the Powerball
