Hello! It's been a while since I've recorded anything due to my lazy nature. I tried my best with this mix with the equipment I have, but I still think there are some issues. Could I have some advice with how my mix is in it's current state? It hasn't been mastered yet or anything. Thanks...

Hey guys! My free trial of The Grand SE 3 by Steinberg just ran out and I'm looking into getting a new piano VST. What do you guys use? I'm looking for a good quality and realistic piano sound, price range isn't an issue.

Hey guys, I'm struggling a bit with this song in terms of trying to make the bridge part blend a bit better. I want it to stand out, but when it goes back into the last chorus it kind of dies down. I want the bridge to sound really big and then hopefully make the last chorus sound bigger than...

Vocals Recorded Okay so I finally managed to get some alone time to do vocal recording. I haven't done any comping or anything but I just want to know what you guys think of the vocals in the mix. At the moment I feel like they don't blend very well:

I haven't recorded vocals yet but I thought I'd post this pre vocals anyway and get some thoughts, so this is a pretty rough mix. So the issues I think I'm having at the moment are mainly to do with the bass. It is DI'd and sounds passable in some parts, and terrible in other parts. I have...

The distance from the back wall to my mix position is roughly 6 feet. It's my parents house so unfortunately ripping out any walls is not possible. To my right is outside, I live in a rural area so no houses that close by. This is a photo a bit farther back, I believe quite a few of the...

So this is the area in which I record and mix in. It's not ideal, but it's what I have to work with. I am planning to get some Studio Monitors and was wondering what kind of things I can do to improve the acoustics of my space. The rough dimensions: 6 feet wide, 9 feet long, 7.5 feet tall...

I'm looking to buy a new midi controller and was wondering if anyone has this particular keyboard. The only requirements I need out of a midi keyboard is decent size (49 keys seem like enough for me), decent velocity and changing modulation (mainly for basic piano and organ effects). I...

Just a quick question that I'm sure has been asked before but I couldn't find a thread for: When recording vocals, should you consciously move a little further away for loud notes and closer for quiet notes or do you stay in the same area and just let the compressor do the work? For example...

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but basically I'm curious to know what you guys do and what is considered the industry standard in terms of using the same takes for parts in songs that repeat. The most obvious example is a chorus. Do the majority of people...

I am a new member here and chances are I have already broken some of the forum rules. To be honest I'm fairly new to forums as well. Anyway, I've been recording for 10 years or so now and am self taught. I am looking for a solution to get more realistic sounding drums and have more access to...
