How to Make the Most Out of Less-than-Perfect Performances

[creekster52]

This is a guy I follow on Facebook. I thought it might be interesting in light of the collaboration thing here.

From: Joe Gilder of Home Studio Corner

Come to this special 1-hour "webinar" and learn how a few small changes in your recordings can make a HUGE difference. (It's at 9pm central time. 10pm New York time.)

I'll be sharing how you can use editing to polish your songs, and I'll even be editing a song for you LIVE during the event.

Come join us!

I may try to catch that one. Sounds interesting and I can use all the tips I can get.

Feel free to ask me about recording tips as well. I have gained a lot of experience the last couple of years.

i've got a sticky on my screen for this, creekster. hopefully, i'll remember to look on here and see it thursday.

[creekster52]

Just a reminder if you have an interest in recording. This guy is very informative and it should be a great webinar!

Without a doubt, Robert is a great source of information too!!!

[reb]

creekster, i forgot to say 'thanks!'. i did see the video, and the guy was very informative. he makes the whole process look easy....learned a good bit.

[creekster52]

Yeah reb...You can tell he's been using Pro Tools for a while. He did make it look easy. I'm not sure I'll ever get that comfortable with computer recording!

I'd like to use my current setup but get better results.  Any advice on a Bluesnowball in an open room with solid walls, ceiling, and floor?  Turning the reverb done a little of course is the first step, but mic placement would be nice to know...

Detroit,, 'PremierGuitar' has had a series of articles on mic placement (i thought the one below sounded interesting). my setup is so simple (zoom H1 set back 20 feet), i don't often have to deal with those kinds of issues.

Hey DB - You could try something like this at very little cost...
