Since when does anyone pay? It doesnt work that way.. If they are really interested they pay u (of course after everyone else gets their share first). If it even gets off the ground.
Its a bunch of crap!
I agree with blue2blue hehe, pay me too!! waaahooo!

Mic technic is a bliss! yes back up when u feel a belt comin on but practice it a few times and watch your levels... live is no big deal, unless u dont have anyone to gain ride ... and yes u could turn or just buy a pop filter... 15.00.
and every mic has a proximity effect.
I have a tape of a band and from all this learning and technic u cant tell on this tape which song was the studio version as opposed to the live versions... they have learned well! Local band no one big time...

then when u do your mix u can experiment with many fx and processors the master is the most important recording. the mix-down is whatever u want to do with it and when a new fx comes out u can try that too and do a re-mix.if u add fx u cant change it u have to re-do yet another master, waste of time there!
mouthful there *laffs... but all fact and truth!
If u make a mistake then go back to correct it you have then made 2 mistakes....If u hesitate, you're late! -
all i suggest is u get each signal strong without grainyness (before distortion) and u should be fine. once u get the input right turn it off (if u have that option) and listen strictly to the playback, that way u will know u are hot and no grainyness.
record everything dry. and while listening to the playback (do NOT use headphones during set up as they tend to make u turn up the bass) add some fx to your gtrs. so it sounds they way u want to hear the gtrs (only on the playback tho, so it doesnt get recorded)... lay your instrument parts first.(do a scratch vocal) that way you can get your vocals set ... then use your headphones to sing so u dont get the music in the mic but dont change the vocal mic once u get it set on playback, just get in that bad boy and get it strong!

I cant believe what i am reading! I get right in the mic on all my vocals as i do leads and harmonies. on mix down it makes it easy to mix because they're all the same if its a good signal it should sound great! and be easy to mix equally. NEVER record with fx! save it for the mix-down as u might find another fx u might like better if u've loaded it with diff reverbs & fx forget it u cant change it its in there.
mix-down is and always will be an endless situation. recording is the easy part slam those leds/needles so there is no room for noise saturation and every signal will be strong and easy to deal with. i dont care what mic u use. thats just to get you to buy expensive stuff. dont get me wrong i dont suggest going out and buying a 9.95 radio shack mic however, its been done.
its all in what you know and how u use it, they have home recording books that are great...

Taxi dont guarantee u nothin, but if they like it will put u in the right direction but still no guarantees.... they also have services u can get into by being a member, where real people are looking for material and so on... u pay to submit each song, just like song contest.
But you dont pay by the month, taxi is 300. i'm not sure if u pay one time mebership or renew yrly? i dont remember. Broadjam is like that too...
