Oct 05, 2004 06:56 pm ive got scratchin mixer its an allen and heath xone 02. iv been recording with a microphone set up on 1 of my speakers to my computer which im using adobe audition to record with. i decided not to d.i. my turntables because it picked up 2 much unwanted noise which i found hard to get rid of.
basicly can i do anything to
1) improve my recording of my scratchin
and 2) when mixing my scratchin into my bands tracks it doesnt seem to blend in it kinda stands out to much.
Oct 05, 2004 06:57 pm ...Or do you mean scratch tracks? Scatchin???

Oct 05, 2004 08:17 pm Some suggestions...
Try puting your other tracks slightly askew of center, and you may find a place for your scratching to sit . Also, a LITTLE reverb, and some eq'ing may bring you the results your looking for . There's a great article on eq'ing in the Recording Tips section, which has been very helpful to me . Best of luck, man !

Oct 06, 2004 12:43 am You said you don't want to record direct from your turntable. Do you have an aux out or something you can record from your mixer. Or is that what you meant.

Oct 06, 2004 11:48 am Hey dB,
thanks. this is going to help me out as well.
I bought the Mixman DM2 and it's not great. It doesn't really scratch the music, it just adds a scratch sound. I hope this is more of what I was looking for. I am will try it out tonight when I get home.
Awsome. Thanks!
