I'm finally going to drop a decent chunk of change on a nice vocal microphone. For the last year or so, I've just been snagging ones from Studio A's mic locker, but it's time for me to get something so I can operate independently. Now, I say "vocal microphone," but obviously, I'm looking for...

I'm starting this thread because I didn't want to hijack someone else's. I'm kinda curious if anyone knows of any particularly good books or forums or WHATEVER to point me in the right direction of what exactly I need for tools to get started, and how much I should plan on investing. I'm not...

I just wanted to start a bit of a discussion thread about this particular topic because I don't know very much about it and it's always seemed kind of interesting to me. I was always told that a room with parallel walls isn't a good thing, but the way this sounds (if I'm correct, length is 1.6...

Today we had a client that brought in four of his "professional" musician friends to record a song. The guy's a singer/songwriter, so he doesn't know jack about instruments and just wanted someone to write music to his words and he could sing for it. This band has been in a few times before and...

Update to the song. I brought down the lead guitar during the chorus to let the less distorted guitars come through, and I brought down the vocals in relation to everything else. I also changed the kick and snare a little bit. Didn't edit the timing or anything so far, just worked on EQ on both...

I recorded this track at my college a couple years ago, and I finally decided to take another crack at it now that I've gotten better at mixing. Just wanted to upload the track here to see what other people's opinion on the track was and see if I've actually gotten much better at mixing, or if...

I'm looking to buy myself a Rev A model from these guys and have my buddy who's getting his degree in electrical engineering help to make sure I don't break my shiny new toy. xD Hairball Audio Has anyone else here tried one of these out? I was also looking at getting a couple Rev Ds later on...

I've been looking at purchasing this amp (the Blue speakers, not greenbacks), and I can't for the life of me find why there's about a $700 price difference between the normal one as opposed to the hand-wired one. Kinda the same deal with when I was looking at the TS808 vs the TS808HW. The HW is...

Hey guys, I'm just looking to finish up the final touches on my studio. I'm looking for some 20' long snake cables that are Male XLR to TRS, and I need to 16-channel ones of these (two 8-channels and a sixteen may even work better). Does anyone how to do this the cheapest? Should I just buy...

We built some nice acoustic panels at the recording studio I work at. They were a little pricey, though. Cost about $500 for the insulation (3" thick), $300 for the wood (I think we bought around 40-50 eight-foot 2x4 boards), and $200 for the fabric ($1000+ total). It made 16 panels total. They...

Manny Marroquin Signature Series | Bundles | Waves Honestly, I've liked their past signature series bundles, but am I the only one that thinks this one basically looks like another way to sell just a multi-band compressor, EQ, Delay, Reverb, and "tailored-EQ" (the Deboxxer, de-esser, and...

I've been looking around for a studio desk that has some rack units in it, and preferably a way to manage cables. I've got a two monitor setup, so I'd prefer around 45+ inches of space on it. I've had my eye on this one right here... Studio Trends 46" Desk - Cherry | GuitarCenter The review on...

A fun, upbeat rock song I've been working on for awhile. The band's got three more songs to do (I'm doing an EP for them), and I'd love some constructive feedback on how it sounds right now. Overall, I'm really liking it, but I think I'm going to have to fix a bit of the rhythmic feel of the...

Just got around to updating to 10.3.2... To find out my Guitar Rig plug-ins aren't working anymore. (Neither was Smack! LE, but more on that in a minute) I recently updated Pro Tools from 10 to 10.3.2, and I found out that they're only using AAX in this one. However, there's a way to get RTAS...

As you'll be able to tell from the start, they like it drenched in reverb. So far I'm liking it, but I know the tambourine is off time for a few bars when it first comes in. Opinions on the good and the bad and the ugly?
