Micing a classical guitar

I did a test recording for a potential client who is a classical guitarist. We placed one mic at the 12th fret, about 15" from the guitar and one mic at the bridge at about 15" from the guitar. The tracks sounded good to me, but he said that the recording sounded "too close" to the guitar. We are cu..

How is this staccato drum feel accomplished?

I listen quite much to D'angelo, (probably 24/7) but actually first today I've realised there is a "funny feel" to the "Smooth" drumming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV229J1zSJE If you listen at the drumming which starts at about 0:21 and continues through, it sounds like a loop which has ..

Acoustical curiosity: Fort Worden cistern

A curiosity that may be of interest to my fellow Pacific Northwesterners: there is an unused 2-million-gallon cistern at Fort Worden State Park that may have the longest reverberation time of any man-made space. RT60 is 45 seconds (!) (compare to the Taj Mahal at a mere 28 seconds). It's an acoustic..

Older Cakewalk tracks in Sonar X2

I used to record MIDI in a very old Cakewalk program (prior to clips, even). These tracks play in Sonar X2 Essential, but they don't STOP at the end of the recorded music as they used to do in the older Cakewalk version! How do I fix this? I'm making a GIANT leap from the old software to the most cu..

Before I start w/ treatment...

One thing I'm still not sure about is my monitors placement. My desk is only 2x4. So there's roughly 2' 1/2 between them. While they do form a perfect triangle w/ my listening position, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better if I placed them on stands behind my desk and stretch that triangle a bit. ..

Enya's airy voice

I'd like to know how you'd go about producing the effects on Enya's voice in May it be. About a minute into the song the effect is pretty strong but it varies throughout. It's the airy aspect that sounds like blowing over a bottle mouth that I'd like to reproduce. Sure there's an awful lot ..

Clipping drumkits

So this is a question specifically regarding electronic music, but can definitely apply to rock and certain driven types of music like jazz. I'm wondering- is it okay for drums to be clipping? I've noticed that by cross-sectioning various songs, their snares are generally always above the edge. I do..

Bus vs Send?

Hey, everyone. So I've been thinking about this for a while; What REALLY separates a Bus from a Send? Which is better in what circumstances? What purpose does each serve? The documentation really isn't all that great on them, they seem the same But MUCHA IMPORTANTE-LY, why can't I get the Send to o..

Room Treatment - part deux

Hi guys, We're moving into the house starting tomorrow and I am back w/ a bit more info and maybe a couple of questions. The room I'll work in is pretty small - I don't have the exact dimension but I'd say 11 x 15 maybe - 15 at its max, there's actually a closet taking a few feet off of that. Here i..
