http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=6793482 Old song I re-recorded recently. I'm going to be revisiting it again. I'm thinking of doing away with the current percussion completely, maybe trying something deeper like a tympani or concert bass drum. Not crazy about the strings as I listen more...

Maybe I'm thinking about it backwards but here's what I've run into a few times lately... I've got 4 GB of RAM, and never think I've come even close to using all of it, but Reaper seems to run out of memory when using even somewhat memory intensive VSTi's. Say I'll have Omnisphere with one of...

Not sure how to phrase this, hopefully my explanation works... When I'm editing MIDI, usually SD2.0 grooves, sometimes I want to add another measure or section in between two existing sections. Right now I have to manually ctrl-click everything before or after the area I want to add to, to move...

Just looking for commentts on whatever you wish to comment on! Production, songwriting, arrangement, etc. I know the vocals are a bit pitchy in spots, the harmonies in the chorus need work too. Still struggling with mixing drums on a fuller production like this...

Not sure what you'd call them...loops, sequences, etc. But basically, I'm wondering if there's any sites where you could download, say, a nice little fiddle or banjo riff to add some flavor to a country song for example. I've tried searching Google and all I can find are sites for popular songs...

I need to get into the habit of organizing my music a little better, now that I'm comfortable using Reaper, I'm just curious how you guys go about it? Is it as simple as having a folder for each project so all the audio files are in one place? It does that automatically right? Saves the .wav...

Sooo...I've got a Fantom X8 (I'm sure you guessed that already) and an M-Audio Firewire 1814. Currently running Reaper. I've got the MIDI cables hooked up (Fantom's Out to 1814's In and vice-versa) But I can't for the life of me figure out how to sync them or anything. I've googled until I...

Entry for a song contest, sounds great on the studio monitors, not so great on the laptop. I'd like to find a happy medium so I'm looking for thoughts on how it sounds on all setups, thanks! http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7538322 I've got a few spots where I'll probably re-do the vocals

So I'm completely new to bass playing, just scored a Traben Chaos Obsession 4 string offa Ebay. So I take off the shiny new strings because I notice a lot of gunk on the fretboard, get to work with some lemon oil. I was under the impression it was a 34" scale bass (a measuring tape comfirmed...

Sorry, I searched but it seems a lot of the threads are a year + old. So I'm switching from a stand-alone recorder to a computer based DAW. I'm building the PC from scratch, I have none of the components besides the monitors and microphones. Is there anything I should be aware of especially...

Moving my home studio. Need a new desk to set it all up in the new room. I have a Fantom X8 (read: heavy ass keyboard). Basically I need something that can hold the PC keyboard above or below the Fantom. Right now I have 2 desks set in a corner but the new room is going to have a bit less room...

I just got a pair of JM27's and the shockmounts that came with them, don't seem to fit on a regular mic stand? The threads seem too small.

Anybody have any experience with this mic? Did a search with no results (at least from what I could see). There's a couple on Ebay, look like a decent mic but can't find much info on them.

Anybody have any experience with them? I noticed one on Ebay for a decent price a while back but kind of forgot about it... http://www.rudemics.com/ They've got a multi-pattern LDC on sale right now...

Ok, so I hook up my new Fantom to the BR1600. When I record in multi-track mode, the song from my Fantom plays in a very smushed, almost mono pan level (listening through the BR1600) Even though it's recording to two tracks. When I try to record in stereo mode...nothing records? WTF. It plays...
