No, you're cool. Just so many differing opinions on the internet is frustrating. When you read the exact opposite of what someone is telling you multiple times, and that someone tells you basically to read up more... I'm sure you can understand. And the truth is, you're as anonymous as any...

I'll take your ideas into consideration...

It's possible to use the whole room. I just don't see the point if you want to limit reverberation and room coloring to an extent. My monitors are far enough from the wall in that position and there's plenty of room for my mics, equipment, a drum set or far micing if needed. Is there any reason...

Hilarious. So here's kind of an idea of what I'm trying to talk about. The first photo is just kind of a rough sketch of the room although I kind of distorted that one corner a bit. I think I've pretty much have an idea of what I want to do, just not quite sure how to do it. So I just want to...

Can someone give some simple advice on acoustically treating my recording space? The room is bizarrely shaped. It consists of the largest wall roughly 14ft forming an "L" with another wall roughly 9ft. It's like a normal rectangular room except instead of a normal corner on the other "L", it...

The Event monitors are $140 for the pair which is really kind of my ideal price... My other consideration was either the BX5's or KRK Rokit 5's (of course I'd do sound comparison. The problem is those would have to be bought used and shipped and from what I've heard getting them shipped is...

I have come down to a couple options as far as getting some studio monitors. I can either stay risk-free and buy some low-end m-audios (Either Av Studiophiles or BX5) or I can buy some Event PS8 monitors off a local ad for just a little extra. The used monitors are said to be perfectly working...

No, I can't stand the old pod farm tones. Just been working with Mic-ing mostly. And thanks, just wish I could put some newer recordings. I'm always trying to move forward and my ultimate goal is to be able to put out music to anywhere that I'm proud of as a finished product (It's not like I...

A couple on here have suggested getting a different interface. What are some other opinions on this? And if it ends up that I get a new interface, which one is recommended (And affordable)? I'm not really worried about inputs (I only need to be able to have 2 simultaneous records but more would...

I don't think I've ever gotten to the technical side of music in this nature. I've heard a lot of how slight/natural differentiation of tuning in a group can be beneficial but never really touched base on this topic. I mean in my logic, music and melodies are all relative so the same progression...

Umm guys, I forgot to mention I'm 15. All my extra money is from birthdays haha. But again, thanks for all of your advice. After listening to this recording again, on different speakers I've found I really need to invest in good monitors.

Thanks for all of your advice (Well besides b00n). I guess I'll try messing around with tones on my amp through the mic. I mean before it just made sense to me that my favorite tones would be the best qualified for recording. I'm also going to look into a dynamic mic instead of my condenser (yes...

I have no problem finding a likable sound playing out of my amp... I have no problems with my guitar either. For awhile I thought my compressor mic was the problem. I was going to look into a dynamic mic like sm57 but in a guitar recording test, the blue mic sounded better. I've found the...

It's been about a year since I started working with pro tools and recording. I started because I wanted to take the next step and actually make my music in a form that many could listen to. Since then, I have about 20 pro tools projects of small bits of me testing, trying to make something and...
