i had the easy job - just collecting the tracks, you guys are the stars for actually recording the awesome music. cheers!
That seems to be working. Thanks, Merle!
Sound great...
I would love to know what people recorded their songs onto, if you are willing to share?
and if multi tracked or not?
I normally use a Line pod UX1 and a cheap sale copy of sony acid pro, cheap mic, but mess with Ipad's for live video (when the kid's haven't smashed it!) and Iphone irig record for live stuff currently..for ease as it's always with me..
Aso what did you use for leveling the tracks and tagging them Merle, as you seem to have mastered this much better than me for the Stones tribute album?
Great Job by the way and thanks for all the hard work running it and delivering it... (as it's not quite as easy as it looks)
Audacity multi track sequencer and my usual colllection of ageing hardware - Shure SM58, Boss SE-70, cheapo mixing desk.. (-:
I recorded my song on the couch ! ;)
I record directly into my laptop, with some guitar tracks miked up and others were plugged straight in.
Everything is mixed together and messed around with on Mixcraft 6 Recording Studio, which is a PC equivalent to Garage Band. You can download it and have a free trial here http://www.acoustica.com/mixcraft/.
I recently bought a Blue Yeti USB mic, but I'm not happy with the vocal recordings I made. I'm 100% sure it's down to how I'm recording, and I need to have an experiment with different environments, recording levels and my proximity to the mic. If anyone has any advice it would be gladly accepted.
I used these instruments on "Shelter": 3 String CBG, 3 string CBBanjo, Washtub Bass, and Cajon for percussion.
CBG and Bass went through a small Behringer mixer into the computer via USB. Banjo, Cajon and Vocals were recorded with an MXL 990 condenser mic. I mixed in Audacity, just panning and volume. then exported to the demo version of Fruity Loops, which I use for "mastering". The demo is full featured, but the limit is 5 minutes. I apply EQ, Compression, Reverb and Limiting in FL and that's about it. I like to leave the levels fairly low in the recording and mixing process, then bring them up in FL. Seems like there is less noise that way and can add a lot of fullness in the final stages.
OK jokin aside (but not for long! lol) : On "Senor"
I recorded vocal and harp ,and tinjo backing track( a 4 string tinjo made by jabes) , into track one of my Tascam 4 track. (Tinjo was amped with wee Cube).
Then added banjo fills (5string banjo made by Anthony), onto track 2. (did not amplify banjo)
Then added tinjo guitar solo on track 3 .(l I did not use track 4).
Mastered/mixed track on Tascam.
Converted wav. file into MP3 using Audacity.
Had a cup of tea and kit kat
The End :)
