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...

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.

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

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...

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...

Hey guys, long time no post. I'm currently overseas and working with the chapel doing music/sound/etc. They purchased a snake somewhere locally and this snake does not have any 1/4" ins/outs. Someone said they thought this was possible, so I'll try to explain it the best I can. Can you tell me...

Hello, it's been ages since I've posted here. I'm glad to be back. I have to questions for you drum experts. 1. I know that resonant heads are important for toms but as I understand it, they're mostly important in live settings where volume is required. Would sound/tone be harmed if I recorded...

So this is the most decent thing we got out of a recent session. I know there are performance problems. This project was for a friend and no one lost any money on it.....so that's good. But over all I feel pretty good about the sounds we got and I think I mostly like the mix. Would you all let...

Hey everyone, been ages since I've posted here. I'm getting ready to finally set up my new studio. I'm thinking a snake is going to be useful. If I plug the snake connectors to different mic-pres, would the differing tones of each pre be preserved? Does that question make sense? Thanks guys.

Hey guys. Here is my first attempt at a mix for a friend of mine. I'd really love to get better. Can you listen and let me know what can be improved? (I'm already thinking there's too much verb on the vox) The song is called "Too Busy Settling" and it's by my friend Laura Jean Mills. Thanks...

Hey guys.....finally after years of reading/studying/some practicing/wishing/etc....I'm recording someone else's music this weekend. I'll be acting as producer and engineer. She's a good friend and if things end up sucking there's no real harm.....but I'm nervous as hell. Any tips? And I don't...

Have any of you used either of these machines? I can purchase both for almost the same price (within $10 of each other.) I like the fact that the Zoom has two headphone outs but I have read that the CD burner is sketchy. The Korg has USB connectivity but fewer XLR inputs and only one...

I really wanted to sell locally. However, there isn't much of a market here. I have a relatively good condition 488mkii that I'd like to sell. It's not in perfect cosmetic condition and belts are probably getting close to needing replacement. However, based on what I'm seeing around the web, I...

I wanted to publicly thank you for helping diagnose my amp problem, then giving your phone number to an online stranger, answering the phone, and talking me through what/where to solder. I fixed my amp today and it works a charm so far. Thank you so much!
