So I am mixing some of the songs my band recorded recently and I'm running into some issues. If I mix it so that it sounds good then when I play it back on regular speakers there is absoloutely NO bass to it. So I have to mix with way too much bass in my monitors. Also computer speakers seem to boost my vocals out more and make them overly loud. Also on vocals I can't seem to make ...

I currently record on a Tascam 2488 but I'm wanting to set my laptop up to record as well. I have Nuendo 3.2 installed and EZ Drummer. What fairly cheap to cheap USB interface would you recommend? How is the Line 6 stuff honestly?

I'm not far off putting in an order for a tascam dp-02cf (along with other things) on thomann, but the 'specialised' rc30p punch in footswitch seems a bit of a rip off for what it is, can I just use some of the cheaper ones, such as the Lead Foot LFS-1 or the Boss FS-5L? Thanks, Pete

Hi all, I've been using some shit computer to record with for a while now.. it's dying and I can't record on it without it it freezing. (I can't fresh install due to no optical drive). I received news from my friend that he's getting me a free IBM thinkpad from 2004 from work (they don't need it.) All I want to install on it is Safari Web Browser and Acoustica Mixcraft 4 (for recording...

made a backing track a couple of weeks ago that sounds almost awful on these new monitors. old - http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6829683 I remixed and changed almost everything to tighten it up etc. how does this sound on your speakers? I just need to help to figure out if they sounds accurate cause they are a lot different. what can you guys hear? new - http://...

Hey all. Some of my friends and I play around on some instruments. We have our drums, bass, guitar working fine. I was curious about the mic part of it. We have a microphone, but we were looking for a speaker/amp to power the mic. What do people use for basic basement sessions? We want something loud enough for the singer to be heard as well, so he can go with a drummer and 100 ...

I’m not even sure how much sense this makes but it’s something I’ve never considered before until rearranging my home studio recently. Does having a bass guitar cabinet in the room have any effect, good or bad, on the bass response of the room, ie does it have bass trapping properties or the opposite effect? It is a front–firing C-V 18” cabinet with a decent sized port across the bottom of ...

Hey everyone! I've looked through the forums for some answers and I found a few, but I still have a few questions. I've been recording a long time in a very craptacular fashion for a while now (SM-58 to sound card LOL!) and I decided it's time to move up. I've been looking at the Edirol UA-25EX and E-MU 0404 or Tracker Pre 2.0 and I'm stuck between which one to choose. (Also, I'm not ...

Me being alittle annoying, but we're in the middle of recording and problems pops up. We are recording in Cubase and EZ Drummer from an electronic drum kit. I know in EZD that you can choose multitracks then control all the different drums individually.. Now i cant seem to do that.. the only thing it does is controlling alittle of the velocity. Could anyone tell me step by...

To put it bluntly, mixing engineers seem a bit backed off by the yearning for louder mastered CDs. It turns out that giving a near-perfect 2-bus mix to a mastering engineer ain't enough when you want to squish it to a 2x4 waveform. Kick and snare transients disappear, cymbals start to flutter, vocals get either drowned or boosted, bass becomes undefined... But with the help of STEMS, a ...

Hi all, I record often and I'm downsizing to a laptop from my tower PC. I often record with a simple setup that lets me go to different places with ease. I'm looking for the following in a new setup: Firewire interface Four pretty good mic preamps Phantom Power for at least 2 preamps Small enough to haul often with ease Don't care about mixing options, as I post mix everything in a ...

I'm using my MOTU Ultralite to record guitar. I record a dry track using one of the instrument inputs, and then I took that dry track and output through an analog 1/4" output into my guitar amp. This way I can reamp it, and have the same performance but with different amps, settings, mic positions, etc... But when I try to do this, I get this noise through my amp: http://media....

I use Tracktion 3 as my DAW and I love the layout and feel of it. Well I recorded 24 tracks today and with only 8 plugins I started to get the stutters. I running Windows XP Pro (32Bit), with an AMD X2-4800 cpu (dual core) and 4 gigs of memory. My hard drives are all 7200rpm WD. And all inessential processes are removed from Windows. With Tracktion 2 (the previous version of my DAW), I had a...

Hey same problem here, very frustrating. Im using the card that came with the machine which has been fine up untill now however now when I turn it on the screen turns on says song loading then freezes. If I turn it on without the card in it then put the card in it says card read error. Any way around this, will buying another card fix this problem if so what card would people recommend. ...

I would like some opinions on how you record and mix thier drums. Audience or Drummers Perspective? 90 % of the time I usually like Drummers because i work with a lot of rock music and i feel it adds a little more excitment and energy(And i secretly want to be a drummer ). And the other 10% I'll do Audience for more of a live feel if the track gives off a more laidback ambient feel. Whats ...

Alright, wasn't sure what topic to post it in. But I got a simple question. What technique/equipment/effect is used in these vocals to make them sound jumpy, or kind of "glitchy"? I've always wondered this. Here's a sound sample of what I'm talking about : http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/9/...%20version. mp3 An answer would be much appreciated . Hope my question is clear.

Hi, I have just bought a new pair of KRK Rokit5 G2 monitors. They are my first ever pair of studio monitors so I have no previous experience with nearfield monitors. Last night I played a variety of music and formats through them to test them out and while they sounded great on CDs on most mp3s and some of my logic projects the subwoofers seemed to distort sligthly (kind of a lcipping ...

Hi all, I'll be buying a M-Box 2 Pro. I will be recording relatively simple things like voice + acoustic guitar, and digital drums using Reason. How difficult is it to become comfortable with ProTools? Is it relatively intuitive? I'm taking the leap from GarageBand, so I'm trying to gauge how frustrated I'm going to be before I'm able to actually record songs.
