I guess you could call me an ameture (im 17 yrs old) recording engineer, meaning that i have recorded my band and two other bands that im friends with using a few condensers and a few dinamic mics into a mixer and then out to a computer. The recording has turned out pretty good but it lacks that certain something that you hear from prefessional recordings. I am trying to figure out what exactly that comething is. I dont know whether its the generally more mellow/warmer tone of them or the compression? For all i know it could be the room were recording in, because i know that has a lot to do with it, but any help, advice etc would be greatly appriciated!
