Hello from Nashville
Hey all,
My apologies, I joined about a month ago and just started posting and never really introduced myself. I would call myself a born again home recorder. I used to do quite a bit about 20 years ago until I got married and had kids. About a year and a half ago I bought a new laptop, an interface, and a mic and started back up.
As you can see from the image below my cat oversees all of my vocal tracking.
I did spend some time on homerecording.com before finding this site, I just never got a good feeling over there.
Anyway, you all have been quite welcoming and helpful.
I look forward listening to and talking about music and recording with everyone here.
Tony

Re: Hello from Nashville
Yeah, when my son got a new bed and my daughter went to college we had 2 twin mattresses, a box spring and a bunch of egg crate foam to get rid of so I put it to use. I made box with the mattresses, box spring and a cheap piece of plywood for the top. Not optimal I know, but it does give me some isolation in the garage there.

Re: Hello from Nashville
I think it does. The outsides of the mattresses are not made of "shiny" fabric so they absorb okay. I can really notice a difference in the sound between standing inside and out. Like I said, not optimal but it does make a difference. The memory foam over the rack is not really for sound purposes, I push it out and use it as barrier/signal so when the wife or child comes out to the garage they know if I am tracking or not.

Re: Hello from Nashville
Here is a vocal with no effects or eq

I think it sounds pretty neutral which is what I am going for so I can dress it up however I like.

Tony,
just a nudge - a wav file takes some time to download in some parts of the planet, so a 320 MP3 is a better option.
Nice & clean to my ears - nothing below 200Hz - did you cut that off with EQ?
It works anyway - and welcome to the party.

No EQ on it just the 80hz low cut filter engaged on the mic

Given the choice between "beef or the dawn", I pick beef.

Re: Hello from Nashville
Cool. I've had a couple bandmates from that neighborhood.
One of them still drives across town to go to Asihi pretty often!

I think we need to know if you're a mutant? Or a ninja? I think we can rule out teenager.
Have seen you around of late. This place arose from HR - they got a bit (in our opinion) heavy handed with the ban hammer and nixed a few awesome recordists - so some of us set this place up. And a few of us still drop in back there from time to time.
We're small but this is a funner place to hang out, as evidenced by the endless chatter in the off-topic area.
I'm not sure we're allowing more Americans in though - us non-Yanks sort of like the balance... now look what you've done.

No and no. And definitely not.
Yeah I like the smaller community feel that you have here.
