yep. so i pretty much didn't get shit for a recording. We weren't planning on micing stuff ourselves so noone brought mics really..

What a douche. Why do people act like that? Lack all social skills or something, Jesus. I can just picture soem asshat getting all worked up, ;cause, God forbid! Someone might touch his precious mixing board!

Jeez, dude, there are people out there who know a thing or two.

When he finally said well i can give you a sub mix.. I was like ok.

so not wanting to be a pain i handed him my 8channel snake and sai "here pick two colors and let me know which two they are" He replies " I would rather you just pick em and tell me which 2" all frustrated

So i said fine. "here black and white"

serious asshat..

So why didn't you use that? A stereo sub mix striaght out the board sounds like it would be fine for a recording?

Well I used that plus the 2 room mics. Just to get as much as I could. BUT the sub mix was not dry it was the same feed going to the house. So it was all messed and compressed too..

The Dark Wolf · 12-09-2006, 12:48 AM

Huh! Wow, sounds like it will be... shitty!

Using mics and a compressed house feed.

I wonder how that will sound? Seems like maybe a ton of wierd phasing stuff might creep up?

Good luck with it, dude. Better you than me.

Jason · 12-09-2006, 12:49 AM

Well I figured I would grab both but only use one

Actually, unless your playing somewhere extremely large, the board mix should suck. All that is coming through the mixer(ideally) is the stuff that isn't loud enough on it's own, hence the term reinforcement. Generally, these mixes have blasting vocals, some bass, next to no guitar, blistering keyboard levels(god forbid, if you have to endure one of those), and some obscure drum mix.
