Friends, I have to unload my Yamaha N8 mixer/FW interface. I bought this less than a month ago. It was used and I paid $400 for it. I'm not trying cheat anyone, I just am in need of cash and need to get it moved so I'm asking a little less than I paid for it. It is in good condition. The only...

I gotta give feedback if I want it too :) so here you go (take with salt, I'm new at this) I really like this piece. Everything has it's place, everything serves a purpose. I like everything about it. It sounds/feels finished. Good work. I wish I had more technical advice to give, but to my...

This is another song from mixoff.org This one was released and is commercially available (not my mix, obviously). Anyway, I don't own any of the material, I'm just trying to train my ears, learn to use my tools, and get better. Your input is greatly appreciated.

I would say that, depending on your pre-amp, you should change the gain at the interface. I say this because some pres change tone, response, etc depending on your settings. If you have a "straight wire and some gain" pre, then yeah, you can cut there, but if you have a pre that has some...

The guy who posted the tracks said that it was his family making the recording for fun when everyone was together. He said he already fixed some "timing" issues. So yeah, they are there. I'm pretty sure I put the vocals to far up in the mix. I took another crack at it last night but I'm kind of...

The monoprice 8323 got a stellar review in Tape Op. He stated that "My best headphones are my closed-back Ultrasone PRO 650 ($299 retail, discontinued). I had to go back and forth three times before deciding the Ultrasone were a little more open and real-sounding than my $23 Monoprice." Now...

I understand what you're saying about not liking the track. I'm not a huge fan either. It's not that I did this professionally for anyone else, it's just a practice thing. When you say crowded, do you think more panning would help? I took the OH's out of the drums because I was trying to get a...

An honest question: Did I violate some protocol? I know I've been away for a while, so it's possible I missed some changes. I've got a lot of views but no replies, if I broke a rule by posting and not "reviewing" others I'm sorry. (I just don't think I have anything to offer on other's mixes...

Hey everyone, I'm just getting back into recording and mixing. This is a mix I did from the site "mixoff.org" I didn't write or record the song. Just mixed it. Please let me know what I need to work on. (or what I did ok on) Thanks. https://soundcloud.com/nate-j-dennis/milk-cow-blues

I didn't change the sample rate or the bit depth. At least not knowingly. I may be working at a different rate than the .wav files were recorded but from the time they hit my system they haven't changed. I just went to the beginning of the song, recorded a snap onto every track, and now I can...

Hey everyone, As a way to "learn my gear" i've downloaded some multitracks from mixoff.org and decided to work on mixing on my new yamaha N8. Due to channel count and the way I think I decided to sub mix sections. So, I four drum mics to the four mono channels, mixed them down to a stereo track...

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I have searched high and low for the answers to these questions but I cannot find them anywhere. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Mackie e-mailed me back about their support (or lack of) for Mac OS 10.7.4 with their Onyx 1640i...

no one?

Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've posted so it's kinda nice to be back. I am constantly looking at and thinking of what gear I'd like to buy to finally get a studio going. (never seems to happen) I was enamored with the Yamaha AW2400. While researching this I came upon a post...

So, if you are willing....help me solve this problem: They want the mixer in the back of the room, it's a powered mixer, we're using unpowered speakers/monitors. How do I get sound to the speakers? Temporarily I can put the board up "on stage" and run all the cables that way. But at some point...
