    Rc1 and one layer or just two layers?

    I have built a room inside my garage (four new walls and new ceiling, none touching the house walls and ceiling). I am about to order my drywall and do not know which is better. Should I go with two layers of drywall or is it best to do a resilient channel and one layer of drywall? I am...

    First Acoustic Recoding Project. Need Advice!!!

    I'm no expert... but what I really enjoy doing for micing an acoustic guitar is *Use a condenser mic about six inches from the sound hole. The mic stays in front of the sound hole but faces the 12th fret. This seems to give me a nice sound. *I record a take. I then pan it hard left and create...

    Garage into Studio Conversion

    Thanks everyone, for your input. I realize 1k is not much considering what I'd like to do. But I hope to make it the best space possible for those things. Again, I know it is not at all ideal. But moving into the garage will be a huge step up from the little closet my "studio" has been in :)...

    Delay- better to use pre- or post recording?

    Thanks for the translation :) I am a guitarist (though mainly acoustic) and am not looking to gig much. I prefer writing and recording. I guess it does not make sense for me to spend the money on that. Thanks for the replies.

    Would love some feedback

    I have recorded several songs in professional studios and am just starting to record and mix on my own. I am new to this mixing thing and would love some feedback on how I can improve. I am planning on recording real drums (just used loops for this) eventually. So- what does my mix need? The...

    Monitor Mixes in Saffire Control Pro

    Thanks for the response and the link. The only problem is that my Saffire Control Pro looks totally different and seems to have different options. Here is a screenshot, to give you an idea. Thanks again.
