Some members seem to be interested in this thread, so here are my first Q's and remarks :
a. Did you use the 'export' option Terry ? I ask this because the tracks have different timestamps. I had to adjust/move all tracks to the right position, using the drum-track as pilot. In an export operation this is not normal.
That's why I sent you the drums with the 4 beat count up front. To export is the only way to get it out of Sonar in something other than a Sonar format. Was also why I asked you originally if you had Sonar, so that I would not have to use the export.
b. All tracks are stereotracks (2-ch) but contain mono information. Even the drums are mono while there is some reverb in it. Your drum machine is a stereo one for sure, so how come the track is mono Terry ?
When I exported it to mp3 even though I said to export to stereo on seperate tracks, what you see is what I got. I recorded them into Sonar as seperate stero tracks as well.
c. How did you record the e-guitar ? It has a high dosis of noise in it and some clips (distortion) as well. (again stereo-track but mono)
The noise is from a Digitech GNX 3 Stomp box, nice piece of gear but real noisie. The signal being a bit too hot in spots surely is possible.
d. The accoustic guitar sounds like your distance to the microphone is too high. De C-1000 should be pointing at the 'hole' and the distance about 30 cm's. (max) See http://www.schoondermark.com for detailed info under "geheime tips". (A very nice studio-recording site....in Dutch)
I record all my acoustics using direct and mic. The direct runs through a Yamaha AG Acoustic stomp box that is a mic modeler, which can tend to add a bit too much air to the mic modeling. Though I think it sounds great, I'm sure a matter of preference. Of course I am aware of the placement of my condenser mic and proximety to the soundhole.
Doing as stereo track with 2 microphones works fine so you can adjust the guitar-sound during the mix. I use two (mono) tracks for this purpose.
Is it ok with you, sending these comments through the forum Terry ?
It's all part of the learning experience for us all and was the purpose of you doing a remix.
