Q3.1 How do I get a good sound?<br />
David Copeland (davidc@access.rrinc.com.blacksburg.va.us) writes:<br />
- Try to record intruments seperately (unless you have lots of rooms<br />
to isolate the instruments)<br />
- Mike the bass. Plugging a bass straight into a four track usually<br />
leaves a dull thud bass sound. If you don't want to mike it, try to<br />
use an eq pedal or something to shape the sound and boost the signal a<br />
little (or if you have active pickups...)<br />
- To get a really good guitar sound, this is what I try to do.<br />
o Record the drums and bass onto two tracks.<br />
o Have the guitar player play the guitar track on both of the<br />
remaining tracks separately (so there's two takes of the same track)<br />
o Then, put the bass and drums center and one guitar right and one<br />
left. It creates a really cool chorussy sound and makes the guitar<br />
extra heavy.<br />
o Then mix down onto another cassette. The new cassette has<br />
everything but the vocals on two tracks leaving you with two more<br />
tracks to do vocals, leads or whatever. This process can be repeated<br />
for more tracks.<br />
