In light of all the random threads that keep popping up all over the hideout about recording I thought I'd link to all of them here.

There's plenty of knowledge here at the Hideout about recording. It'd be good if we could keep it all in here for easy access for people looking for advice.

Everyone should feel free to add to this thread or ask questions here as well.

Hi.  I just found "Soundation Studio" yesterday.  I used it a little, but I haven't read the manual, so I don't know how to use it well, but I think you can try some effects (including phaser) at there.  It means that you can use it without downloading!!

Hi - don't know about digital options or keyboard options - - but in the 'physical world' I have played about in this way for fun ... ...if you have, or can borrow one to check it out - maybe try running the mic. through a phaser of some sort [or phaser & bass flanger linked together]  - I have an old 70's out out control/near uncontrollable 'colorsound' foot pedal phaser ...but with foot pedals [vox etc...] & mics ...I have found that you sometimes need some kind of volume 'limiter' or 'threshold' style noise gate to stop deafening/wild variations in volume   - I also have a pretty wild 'Boss' super phaser PH-2 [they are lime green in colour] - you can tape it onto the head mic stand next to the mic and control all 4 buttons & modes on it real easy it that way ...phasers can give you real squelchy and drippy acid lyrics so long as you constantly fiddle with the settings as you are using the mic  [takes a little practice but good fun and maybe worth a try] - a piece of foam taped between the pedal and the mic. stand can help stop unwated noise vibration from using the pedal in this way  ... guitar effects are pretty good fun anyhow and you can get prefft wierd stuff out of most of them with some mic's - kind regards - bry ; )

I'm wondering if anybody has some insight into recording trippy vocal effects? Sometimes in the old 60's psychedelic songs it sounds like the singers are running through a keyboard or tremelo pedal or something. Has anybody ever recorded vocals with these kind of effects?

Thanks, Duncan

Okay... It would be nice if had something to contribute to the discussion instead of just spamming it.

For future reference, The Trading Post Group is where this sort of post should go. Okay?

Oh hey. Just letting y'all know that, if you're looking to have your CD/LP/7"/Cassette mastered and are a little tight on cash, you might as well head on over to the Rock Among Us website (http://rockamongus.wordpress.com) and send me an email with some details on what you'd like done. You'll also find a gallery of some stuff I've worked on in the past & some upcoming projects.

I'm more than happy to work on a sliding scale based on how much you can afford (within reason, obviously), so give me a number & we'll talk about it.

Word.

Dave
