With my refund and selling some old equipment I don't use anymore, I should have about 2 grand to spend on my studio. I'm leaning towards a really nice vocal mic or a 4 channel mic-pre but I'm open to any and all suggestions. I am considering possibly a Pearlman TM-1 $1600 or a Daking Mic Pre...

Hello- this will be the first full-length album I've produced. We've been working on it for over a year now and its almost done! I could use some outside opinions on these mixes. Feel free to comment on any or all of the tunes. Thanks! http://www.youshare.com/rman5000/a37714/DisplaySimple

I'm having a hard time finishing this. Its gone through many permutations- change of key, change of meter, re-writes, but I just can't seem to figure out where its going. Here's a rough sketch... http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/31970-pieceofearth.mp3 any ideas? Its called piece of earth...

Hey everyone, we are having quite a few problems with audition 2.0 and 3.0. This is at a radio station with different problems ocuring on different computers with different hardware configurations. 1. Audition 2.0- Crashes immediately after launch... message: Runtime Error! Program...

Just scored a Fostex e-2 tape deck for free! Its been gathering dust for who knows how long so I don't know what kind of condition its in. Haven't dealt with these types of machines before but I'm excited to play around with it. Just wondering if anyone owns one of these, or if anyone has any...

Anyone ever own one of these? Opinions? I found one for $400 and I'm thinking about grabbing it. The only thing I hesitate about is I believe the direct outs and tape returns are unbalanced (rca?) connections. Is this true? Could this be problematic?

Hello, running Sonar 6 here- I think I've figured out how to set up routing for sd2, now how do I program my own beats? Is this done in the piano roll view? Can someone please explain or point me towards a tutorial? Thanks.

Any reason not to use marble tile in a studio? I found a deal on some and it would look really hip in my studio, I'm just wondering about the acoustic properties of a smooth reflective surface like that.

So I keep getting stuck after one or two verses. Anyone else have that problem? How do you push through it? Here's the latest example of that. Any suggestions would be appreciated... Brick by brick he built these walls With these hands he laid each stone Raised a shelter from the dirt in...

Hello, I just emailed rme tech support, but while I'm waiting for a response I thought I'd try posting here. I just bought a new laptop and I'm having problems with my fireface800 (I think I've narrowed it down to a hardware issue) even at very high buffer sizes. Dropouts and glitches are...

These are some friends of mine that I recorded: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=735033 The vocals sound very harsh to me. Any ideas on how to tone it down? Any other suggestions on the overall mix are welcome. Thanks!

So I just finished mixing this album and my clients have asked if I could master it for them. I really don't know anything about mastering so I could use some help. I know its dprobably difficult without hearing the mixes, but are there any general guidelines, procedures, rules of thumb that...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I am starting to get a steady flow of clients into my studio and I'm wondering how some of you handle billing. Should I block out a certain amount of time and ask for the money up front? How about billing for the mixing sessions? I tend to get obsessive...

I have 12 songs recorded in one project in Sonar6 PE and i'm trying to export each song to its own project to make mixing more manageable. When I select the tracks I want exported and go to file-export-audio to export the tracks, it includes all the time before the song begins as silence giving...
