I know a lot of people say, when eqing never boost, just cut! but anyways, are there some eq's out there that handle boosting frequencies well without getting ridiculous amounts of phase shifting? thanks

I have just got a new golden age preamp 73. My chain is: Mic ->preamp -> fast track pro -> computer I have a rode nt1-a condensor going into the preamp input, i am using a balanced cable to connect the preamp to the fast track pro (XLR plugs into the preamp output and the TRS plugs into the...

Hi there, Sorry for the extreme novice question but i need some help setting up my new golden age pre 73. Just checking that first of all that my chain is correct: Mic -> preamp -> fast track pro audio interface -> computer Secondly i know that my mic will simply plug into the mic input on...

Say i have a bassline audio clip which is sits mainly in the higher bass frequencies (400-500hz), i want to be able to create a new track with the same bassline audio clip and change the pitch so that i can lower it an octave and have it playing at the same tempo just filling out the low end...

Hi there, Looking to buy a decent preamp. Now then i produce dance music and they only reason i want a preamp is to plug a mic into and record vocals, so i guess im looking for just a single channel pre with phantom power (2 channel at most). I have done some research but are there many quality...

I make house music and I want to begin adding vocals. Now then, I have had no experience with incorporating vocals into my music so I would love some help. Now then I don't know if there is a difference when writing lyrics for house music as opposed to rock for example? Do most people go...

I am now starting in the art of recording vocals. I am just wondering how good some of your guys vocal recordings sound before they have been mixed and processed and tweaked etc etc. If anyone is able to post up a short vocal recording, basically whats been captured straight into your...

I am about to get a vocal recording setup. I am in the market for buying the preamp as i know these are a must if i hope to get some quality vocal recordings. (i make house music) Basically, i have not heard the difference between recording through a reasonably transparent preamp, and a preamp...

Hi there, Im into making house music so i only am looking at recording vocals. The mic i think i have selected is the Rode NT1- a which i believe is pretty good bang for buck. I now need to pair it with a nice preamp to bring out the vocalists and mics full potential. I hear a lot of good...

Hi there, Im looking at uprgrading my mic. I will only be recording vocals in a homestudio. After a lot of research, it seems that the ksm44 would be an excellent choice to record a great vocal. But i also need to upgrade the preamp - i am currently using a m audio fast track pro. Any...

Hi there, I have ableton live 6 and logic 8. The only reason i now have logic 8 is because when i got my friends imac, it came with his logic 8 on there. When the track is finished and your at it the mix down stage (not the actual creating/arrangement of the track) will i find that logic 8...

So i have never mastered a song before...or even had a really good, thorough go at a mix down. I make my tracks in ableton on my macbook. I now have an imac with logic 8 which came with some t racks plugins (which i believe are good for mastering?) To get myself ready for a mixdown and a...

Hi there, I have just got my friends imac with logic 8 off him. Now then, he had some nice AU's like the T racks plugins on his imac........am i able to transfer them onto my macbook pro running ableton?

I have the T racks classic eq and compressor, and i know they are designed for mastering purposes. But if i put one in my bassline track or my vocals track, would it greatly improve the quality of the individual track (used correctly of course) like it would when these plugins are applied to the...
