Yep. Again: just plug the balanced lines into unbalanced jacks. I about guarantee you that the Behringer (I've owned a lot of their mixers) says "bal or unbal" on the jack bay in the unit(s) somewhere.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Just plug them in. I've done it before, and there was no problem.

No, it will not. Write it out. As I said, you're gonna wind up getting very familiar with lyrics and the song. In fact, the wording may inspire you to change the beat to fit the words. Or you may decide to add other elements. It will work itself out. The rap is the most important thing, and...

"I've always had issues with following just a click." Yeah, me too, so I usually find a simple drumbeat to use instead of a click, and that later is muted after I've got the drums or beats I want. To the OP: It sounds like you're trying to fit in words/rhymes/lines that don't fit. This might...

Is there any kind of reward for the query of OP being revived five years after the last post? In fact the new thread is just as vague and unanswerable as the original. A chimera, loose again.

That mic . . . . Years ago, while recording three of us in a small bedroom, with a drum kit four feet to my right (the room was so small Andy the drummer had to climb back into his space by stepping up onto the bass drum! It was his only way in and out), I used the AT 2010 for my vocals and...

I've got a wireless keypad that I simply move over to where I'm recording. The DAW is set up and ready to record, and when I'm ready I hit "R". The mouse stays at the desk. I have various other keypad shortcuts that allow me to do basic stuff whilst not looking at the screen, but once I'm...

That's good. Stick with all that--it's a good place to start. Yes, direct monitoring is the way to go. Oh, and for the money, AT's sister mic of the 2020, the AT 2010, is an excellent microphone to have in your budding collection too. I've got a few of them.

Ouch!

What Rob A. said. My comments about the survey were not meant as a personal attack . . . it seemed pointless and unconstructive, and its important to get feedback on this kind of thing. I spent a lot of time in college (not for music) and I'm very familiar with badly implemented or conceived...

In fact, you'll need to sharpen your skills quite a bit to get that sound.

Reverb will be key . . . and it might be tricky. I like how the vocals are deliberately buried and muffled on "Souvlaki."

If all the tracks were recorded on "the hot side" (maybe distorting a bit?), there ain't much you can do to "tame" them. As mentioned above, pull the faders down. (Better get busy, with two hundred tracks! Sometimes there isn't an easy way.) Next, if you're going to continue working with the...

It was a worthless survey--I find it hard to believe that this would be part of a dissertation, or perhaps I should say, "dissertation." I was not allowed to choose that I wouldn't listen, ever, to the badly produced music in all three clips. The 3rd one sounded marginally better than the...

I was in a group with someone who insisted on rhyming every line with the next; A-A, B-B, etc. it's always a bad idea to do that, in my book. And this whole song is that way! If it's more important to rhyme than to say something expressive, you're in trouble. Internal rhymes, alliteration...
