Hi guys, I just recorded the song I used to propose to mi finace. I am hoping I could use your critical ears to improve the mix so it sounds more professional. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Engagement Song by RocknPop | Rockn Pop | Free Listening on SoundCloud

Hi guys, I recently moved in to a new apartment where I am using the downstairs living room as my music room (recording and playing). However, the room layout is quite large and I'm not sure how to best treat it as a step 1. Should I start with bass traps in all corners of the room? This is...

I own a Nord Electro 4 and I like it. Fantastic keybed, wonderful samples (limited memory), but overall great piano and organ replacement. I'm looking to pair it with something contemporary, and the synths in ProTools, Reason, and Logic Pro X don't inspire me (maybe I haven't found a good sound...

Hey guys, I've been creating music for about 10 years, but it has never had lyrics or a vocal line mainly because I don't think I'm great at singing. I recently added lyrics to a couple of my songs - I would love to hear your thoughts on my singing and provide your input on 1) my performance...

For some reason the reproduction of what I hear when recording is not as "sweet" as when I play it. It could be microphone placement or something else but this is my setup: - Guitar: PRS Signature Limited (humbucker pickups) - Mesa TA-15 head with a Vox 1x12 open back cab - SM57 - Digi 003 -...

So I bought a POD HD Desktop that I am using to record guitars. It is currently hooked up to my Digi 003, but I would like to monitor it with a separate pair of studio monitors. What cable do I need? (can someone please forward a link?) Essentially I need one stereo 1/4 inch plug to TWO...

I have a Lil Night Train and a 1x12 cab mic'd with an SM57. Most of my tones are clean and a little saturation. (Think AC15 AC30TB and clean tones) Would anyone with a POD HD please chime in to share experiences with them?

Selling my Line 6 PODxt, in excellent condition with the mounting adapter (I had to buy this separate), original box, power cord, manual, and everything that it came with new. It includes two model packs (see pics): Classic and BASS (this means you can use the Pod as a bass amp modeler). The...

Selling my Apogee One interface. Great little tool to record music. I used it while I was in New York last summer and haven't used it again because I have a studio. Condenser mic (for vocals or acoustic guitar) Line in input (for electric or acoustic guitar, keyboard, or any other plugged...

Room 1 or Room 2 Perhaps a better questions would be which one is easier to treat to get to an optimal level? I'm considering Adam A7 monitors or Yamaha HS80s (I'll look into other monitors tomorrow)

I'm considering buying a pair of used Adam 7 monitors to use in my studio (rectangular 10' x 12'), minimally treated room (monitors sit on auralex pads and few insulation on the wall). Questions: - Are these too big for my room? 7 inches? Should I consider 6.5 or 5 inches? - One of the tweeters...

I'm considering: 1) Keeping my current rig: Mic'd (SM57) up Mesa Transatlantic 15 with a Vox open back cab 2) Eleven rack 3) Fractal Axe FX II What do you think? Is the Fractal worth $ difference? or is the tone that I will get from my Mesa better?

I have a Yamaha Motif ES6 (I know, a bit old). I was just looking around to see what is new and came across the Nord Stage 2, checked out some reviews on YouTube and then checked the price. I was shocked at how expensive these things are. So, I wanted to ask the pros here what helps them...

I haven't been using PT since I was in school for 2 years getting my MBA. So, now I have a student discount that I can use towards PT 10, but I'm wondering if it's even worth the $300.

Essentially I need to keep the beat and I hate the metronome apps (that click-toc-toc-toc drives me insane). What can I download as a drum machine that will do the trick with a more pleasant sound? I tried Rebirth and the app is loaded with bugs, it stopped working within 45 min of me playing...
