Re: is recording in stereo passe?

thanks.. I'll tone down the stereo effect, even though part of me really likes it. (i'll shoot for between 60/40 and 66/33)

we record lead vocals tomorrow, so it's about to get much more interesting.

Re: is recording in stereo passe?

well the nice thing is we recorded 16 songs, and the goal is to produce a 10 minutes video out of those songs. I can pick and choose which clips I use, and if a song isn't up to par, it will wind up on the cutting room floor. as for the tuning, yes, I hear it too... the guitar players tuned between ...

Re: is recording in stereo passe?

one of the guitars had a direct box from the back side of his amp, but the lead player had his cab mic'd If I can't get rid of the buzz, I'll just have him record it over using a different amp. before I do that, what would recommend for removing the buzz? Once we add the vocals and delete the beginn...

Re: is recording in stereo passe?

When I recorded them, I had them on opposite channels. I can make it less extreme, but I do like the effect. The lead player had a slight buzz in his amp, if it's still noticeable later (the intros to the songs are going to be deleted, and vocals still need to be added) i'll try a plug in to remove ...

Re: is recording in stereo passe?

On my android at the moment, but i'll check it out when i'm home.

So you think a true stereo effect isn't desirable anymore? Even for the demo?

Here's an example of what I have so far, but I can pan any of these tracks individually

Re: is recording in stereo passe?

Thanks for the tip!

If it makes any difference, this is for a demo that will be both put on youtube, and available as a download. I would suspect that most of the time it would be played on a system that can reproduce stereo effect

is recording in stereo passe?

when I listen to old motown songs in my car, I hear a stereo effect that sounds like I'm sitting right in the middle of the funk brothers. Not so much with modern music. Is that something that sound engineers don't do anymore, and at what point in history did techniques change? along the same lines,...

Re: making a demo of my band, need advice

Most songs will have both lead and background vocals. Laying down the lead on Sunday, and then the background singers one at a time after that. Thanks for pointing out that one part. Right now the mix is just a work in progress, as it only has to be good enough to give those still recording somethin...
