A live recording sounds good if it's in a good sounding room (assuming everything else goes well). If it's in a bad sounding room, it's not going to sound good.

 

If you could get your studio to sound like Carnegie Hall, you could make some great records there without acoustic treatment. BUT, even if you COULD achieve this (unlikely), you would still be stuck with that sound. If, on the other hand, you record tracks with little or no room sound, you can give the illusion of other spaces later. You can make the recording sound like it was done in a church or a cave or a garage - whatever floats your boat.

This is the deal:

 

You can record (with Microsoft's Studio Foam http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif ) things in a studio and make them sound just like you want them with the acoustics you can manipulate with software or hardware, if it's well recorded and post produced properly.

 

That's the advantage of recording in a noise free environment: To Get the most natural sound possible, then manipulating it as desired.

 

I guess you just can NOT record a live performance and make it sound like if it was on a Studio or create another kind of ambience... just because of the fact the mics can register the other live instruments or singers performances.

 

Anyone agree?

And the same thing goes for mics, etc...

 

(INSERT FAVORITE BIG-NAME BAND HERE)..."I just got their live CD...they used SM58s for the vocal mics for about $175 or so a pop...sounds great"

 

(INSERT SAME BIG-NAME BAND HERE)..."I just got their new studio CD...they used a $5000 Neumann tube (insert model number) for the vocal mic...sounds great"

 

See what I'm getting at here?

"It's been a long time coming..."

 

It's good to be back here. I've been on VS Planet for awhile, and you folks don't realize how lucky you are to be in such a sane place. The folks on VS Planet make me appreciate alphajerk.

 

Barrett - you da man. I've seen the light. VS Planet done scared me straight. Not that I'm getting rid of my VS, but I definitely do not want to converse with another VS owner for quite some time. It makes me question my own sanity that such peeps could use the same gear that I've chosen to use. It's like Dante's Inferno on that bloody board. Remember Terry James? Imagine 3750 guys worse than him. Get the picture?

 

It's sooooo good to be back here. I luv yous guys.

Uh, Tedster... If you paid $175 a pop for SM58's you need to go see a lawyer so at least HE can have your money, fair and square. SM-58's sell for $99, everywhere that isn't a mom & pop store. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif

You know me and my beliefs AJ, and you know I don't preach, so please forgive this... I'll try to do it as OT and in as subtle a manner as possible.

 

I *think* what ViLo is referring to is mentioned in an old song:

 

"...well can you see those dark clouds gatherin' up ahead

They're gonna wash this planet clean like the Bible said

now you can hold on steady, try to be ready, but everybody's gonna get wet

don't think it won't happen just because it hasn't happened yet"

About who's coming...

 

Instead of hinting around, can't anybody just say Jesus Christ?

 

This is laughable. Although I guess it could be the boogyman, or maybe even Clint Eastwood in a reprise role from his 60's spaghetti western movie days.

I'm sorry guys but the "HE'S COMING" phrase it was not there as part of a post is part of my signature, and I was not going to put the whole bible on it, because like Phil said I'm not trying to preach in this forum, again it just part of my signature, and stands for what I believe http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif

Are we http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/cool.gif cool?

Thanks

Thanks Phil,I did not want to offend anybody, I'm not a preacher either, it just what a believe, and I want it to show it as part of my signature, not as a post.

Oh! and YES HE WILL COME, HE's just wating for some to get ready, is a LOVE thing you know? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif. In the meaning time let's make music! and help each other out, after all that's what this forum is for http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif.

I'll take a decent-sounding live recording over studio trickery every time. I love good studio records, but capture a live band on fire and I'll listen again & again....

Well, I confess...

 

I haven't bought a 58 in years. Come to think of it, I've never bought a 58. I really had no idea what they went for, only that they were cheap relative to a Neumann. Geez, at that price, I'll go out and buy a dozen.
