Hey guys, I just bought a pretty feature heavy phonograph player to sample some vinyl. I have a couple questions regarding some of the features. 1. It has a cut button that doesn't seem to do anything...wtf? 2. What is anti-skate, and where should I set it? 3. What is the counterweight for...

hey guys, I just got a webcor reel to reel recorder. I have a couple questions, if I may: 1. 7 1/2 VS. 3 /34 2. Which output, I have 1,2,3,4? 3. When I hold fast and set to left or right, it doesn't go any faster. I have no tape yet, so I'm running it empty just to get a feel for it. 4. What...

What new features should I know about? I already opened it up, and although it feels more complicated, it still has a feel as if i were at home. I mostly wanted new sounds. Thus far, I've only had the basic General MIDI, Roland XG, and Yamaha XS sounds. I just bought Sonar 7 from a buddy...

Hey, I have the following software for burning: Module Name: Roxio Creator Plus Dell Edition Build: 2.4.32b I read somewhere that it burns Redbook compliant, but I don't think it is burning in that fashion. I have a CD player that plays all "professional recordings" but no burnt. I'm guessing...

Where can I buy Redbook CD's?

Hey guys. I had a small question that developed in my head the other day. I was looking at some professionally mixed and mastered tracks in Audacity, and I was wondering why there tracks are maxed out, it basically looks like a square box right below the clip line. Mine are all over the...

Which perspective do you prefer to mix your drums from? Why?

Is bleeding bad? I have been bleeding from my nose for at least 6 hours now. :p No seriously, I am having a problem with bleeding. When I record vocals, the mic picks up the music from the headphones. It's not really loud or noticable, but it is there. Any tips before I bleed out?

OK, I know the clinic is for technical postings, and songwriting clinic is for musical issues, but when I posted over there, I got a technical review, so maybe you guys could do I musical review. It's nothing but a rough mix, and I have a lot of work to do to the instruments, because they're...

I know we all hate links from any forum but the clinic, but I am posting a link to a ROUGH MIX I just got finished. I posted about this about a month ago, and everyone told me to record a roughie and post it. So here it is. I think it sounds fairly good, technically. How does everyone think...
