I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice, because I'm new to this. I have experience in recording guitars and vocals, and doing some processing on those tracks, but this is the first time I've recorded drums. So I have some decent drum recordings, but I want to touch them up a bit...

Ok, so I'm a beginner, but I understand what compression is all about. So my question is-- what's the opposite of compression? I mean, if compression can squeeze all of the sound into the top 10 decibels, then is there something that can sort of make the volume range more spread out? I don't...

I'm sorta hesitant to post this, because I'm still kinda new at this stuff... but here goes. I've been playing guitar for about two years now, and this is what I've been able to come up with so far... it's like an EP I guess. http://www.suicidekiss.org/noah/music/ I'm just a one-man band...

I'm on a budget, but I've been looking to upgrade from my Yamaha EG112 (I think it's the same as the Pacifica 112). It has been a great learner guitar over the past two years, but the pickups have become noisy... and I figure that if I'm going to spend money to replace the pickups... well, I...

I'm somewhat of a beginner at guitar playing... I've been playing for about two years, and I have very basic beginner's gear. But now that I sort of know what I'm doing, I think it's time for an upgrade. I've been playing on a Yamaha EG112. It's your basic strat copy with a H/S/S pickup...

So, I went to the guitar store today, looking for a decent all-purpose microphone. I'm still a beginner at this stuff. I want something that I could use for vocals and acoustic/electric guitar (sometimes clean, sometimes distorted) at home, and maybe live for vocals sometime. I went in to...

I'm on a limited budget, and I'm thinking about getting the Ibanez Toneblaster 50R. I saw it at a store today (new) for $229. It's this one: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/search/g=home?q=ibanez+50r Would this be a smart purchase? I'm upgrading from a crappy 15 watt Crate, so I guess...

I've been into home recording for about a year, and I've been using a pair of Coresound Binaural mics. I bought them a while back because I figured they'd serve a dual purpose... besides home recording, they are very "stealth"-like and I can use them for bootlegging concerts. Heh. It works...

I found this site last night, and it's perfect! I've gotten really into home recording over the past year, and it was frustrating to me because I didn't know any good sites/forums where I could talk about it. Anyway, on to the question... I've been using Fruityloops to make some simple drum...
