Hey guys for part of my music tech AS level course this year I have to recreate this daniel bedingfield track as closely as possible to the original. There are some parts I am having trouble with though. I am not sure how to get that building up swoopy sound at 21 seconds. Can anyone help out...

hey guys I am looking to buy a multi effects pedal. I don't really have much knowledge about them so I need your help. I don't really need to have a whole mass of possible effects, but just ones like reverb, eq, octave, flanger, compression, noise gate, phaser, tremolo, delay and you know. I...

hey, I wanna buy a pair of krk rokit for around £150 to £250, which ones shall I get? or if you have any suggestions to better monitors for that price then feel free to say :)

Hi guys this is a live recording of my band, Blind Summit, playing gold on the ceiling by the black keys. We needed a live recording to show people before we play a gig so I set up mics and stuff and recorded it live but properly in my "home studio". I also filmed it then put the two together...

Hi I know this isn't that connected to home recording but I know that I can trust this forum to give me some good answers. At the moment we have this piece of rubbish which always breaks so I am going to buy a new router, most likely this one. I do not think it will be as simple as unplugging...

hey I have a quick question. When buying drum heads is it a good idea to get ones of all the same style as in all remo pinstripe for the toms and kick or does it not matter if you get like 1 pinstripe for one tom and other remo types for the other toms and kick? thanks

Hi I'm looking for a drum set which has the standard 5 drums, hi hats, ride and crash. I generally don't know a lot about drums but I'm not bad for someone who hasn't had lessons. I will be using it for recording and live. I think the budget is a maximum of £300 which I know isn't a lot but the...

Okay thanks for the advice guys :) About connecting my behringer xenyx x1222 mixer to the tascam us1800 through the sends, I'm not sure there are any obvious sends on the mixer?

right so I need some advice. When I am going to record drums I am going to have 2 overheads and a kick drum mic as well as others but what I am not sure about is the others. I have 2 toms and I was originally planning on putting these 2 pretty cheap tom mics I got with a drum mic set a while...

Hey I have a tascam us1800 and I was wondering if it is okay to rest my laptop on it as it would conserve a lot of space and make things much easier? I considered it when I first got it but I thought it would damage it but I've realised that it is designed to go on a rack so close contact...

Hey, I was thinking of using industrial velcro to hold up some acoustic foam tiles but what my question is what type of mark will the adhesive leave on the wall if I take the velcro off? Will there be adhesive left on the wall? Or will there be some of the paint taken off the wall? Thanks

Hey, I am looking to buy a pair of condenser microphones which will be used as overheads for drums, piano and perhaps other instruments such as violins. The maximum I can spend is about £200 and I have found a couple such as the samson cl2's and the mxl 603's which fit my budget. How would those...

Hi, I'm investigating ways to put up acoustic foam. I am only 16 however and am living with my parents of course so I can't do anything which will damage the walls. So I was researching and spray adhesive such as this one seems like a possible solution but I need to know a few things which I...

Hi, I think it is about time I get a proper vocal microphone but I have no idea what one I should buy. I know people will say that I should try out different ones to find what one will suit my voice, but my voice sucks anyway so I will be recording other people mostly - boys and girls. So I...

I need to buy some headphones for my music tech class at school. The idea is that they are worth about £100 because they will be needed for mixing because everyone at school can't have a pair of monitors in a classroom. Any suggestions? Thanks
