yeeah thanks for the advice montie

im familiar with the capabilities of flanging phasing etc...

but what is this SM57 that your talking about?

one way you can get a beat is just record yourself banging on a counter top. compress the hell out of the recording and then noise gate a low tone side chain so that when the beat hits, a low tone comes into the mix giving it alot of punch.

I imagine that that is exactly what aphex twin would do to get all his sounds.

the Shure SM57
its prety much the standered mic for music recording. pretty much all purpose. pretty cheap.

i think theres a couple other models like the SM55 and so forth. i don't know too much about the differences between them all.

probably. alot of electronic producers record many random sounds and compress and Fx the hell out of them.
I know James Holden just has a dinky little keyboard he uses to record.

mine is that i'm not good at song structure therefore I have thousands of unfinished tracks sitting on my PC.

My problem would be carrying a tune...

...but that doesn't mean I ain't an addict!

Yes i do that with drums..... if I wanted to go around recording all sort of sounds inside and outside what would be the best thing to use?

yes he was saying its a casio... I laughed my ass off at that because not only do I have a casio but I know how shit they are too.

heheh... still good for recording off and FX-ing though

The hardest part for me is adding vocals. I'm currently working with my vocalist on a track and I'm finding it really hard to get them to sound right in the song.

I can imagine how much that would be a pain in the ass.
