in short: what are some good methods for turning a mic-recorded or synthesized sound into a more "old-school", even 1930's sound? Thanks!..

Dumb Mastering Question

Hey guys, I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. Anyway, here goes: So I've got my mix perfect to my ears, minus the volume I need. Anyway, I bounce all the tracks into one, them load them into a new project as one stereo track. Mix now sounds muddled. The instruments are all blotched ..

Recording guitarist and singer together

Hi - what say you about preferred studio set ups when you record the acoustic guitar player while they sing - versus overdub / isolation. Granted there will be some mic bleed - but I guess that's part of it sounding organic. Better to stand, versus sit, mic placement and angles?....thanks !..

Constructive Comb Filtering

I backed into this via double tracked acoustic guitar, love the potential at some places along the fretboard, but am currently stuck in advancing, at the point of destructive (or, better put, so-so) phasing at certain frequencies. Anybody else playing with this? Any bodies of knowledge out there on ..

am I kidding myself about *mastering*.... (read on plz)

There's a newer studio in my area that is basically new to recording, but has invested in some good quality outboard gear, mics, interfaces, etc Basically they called Sweetwater and bought what was recommended ... but I HAVE to say what they got, was all great stuff.

Should they ALL be hits?

The question is: should EVERY song one writes be written with a "#1 hit" sound in mind? I generally am asking in terms of pop, hip-hop and rock music. I try to write music somewhat outside-of-the-box, but a lot of times I tend to go overboard with generous helpings of eccentricity to where listeners..

Tracking Compression. After the preamps & before the mixer / DAW

And Sonar on the computer. I have no outboard compressors. I would like 4 ch of compression to smooth out ..
