This is a link to a song by a band I'm in from Gainesville, FL called Arturo Sinclair. The song is called Georgia Burning: http://cajunsecret.com/arturo.htm We're a fairly new band, naive and young in the evil ways of the world. We are starting to play local shows and are in need of a demo...

Don't say I didn't warn you! This is a little thing I've been working on, on and off. I had vocals pretty much worked out, until I decided that they pretty much sucked (either because I can't sing real well or it was just a boring melody). Either way, this is only an instrumental, and not a...

I just recently figured out how to use DXi instruments with Sonar, which is awesome. But I have a big problem. If I use a DXi instument in a song, such as battery (which is not really an instrument but its the same deal), everything works fine UNTIL I save the project, close it, and open it...

I have been trying extremely hard to get a decent sound with my humble equipment, as I guess most of us are on this board. Can someone with good ears please have a listen to this clip and try to explain to me what sounds "off" about it. I can't put my finger on it but I know it 's there. The...

I have been using Fruity Loops 3 for a fairly long time now. I have always been happy with it, except for the fact that I couldn't link it directly with Sonar, like a dxi synth. I have Battery, and I just found out how to use it, but I really miss the "shift" function in Fruity. Is there any...

If unshielded monitors have been used around a computer screen, does this *permanently* affect them in any way, or does it only affect them while they are in use. Also, are bucking magnets the solution to this, and I assume you use two of these magnents, one on each speaker? Thanks

I am considering buying a condenser mic, but I know how well they pick up background noise and the like. Being that my "studio" is just my bedroom in a house where there are other people, a computer with fan noise, etc, am I going to be able to use a LD condenser?

I run an sm-57 straight into the preamp on an omni studio. When I arm a track in Sonar without any effects patched, I get a very noticable delay through my headphones if I arm that track for recording. This is very annonying when trying to overdub vocals especially. Keep in mind that I do not...

What happened here???

This is one of my first stabs at tracking a complete song, even though it's only acoustic git and vocals. Let me know if you liked it, it sucks, whatever. BTW, its a sm57 for git and vox through a omni studio. http://www.nowhereradio.com/synergy/singles Thanks

Right now, I have only the trusty sm57 to record with. I know, it's not the choice mic for acoustic guitar, but it's all i got. My question is, why am I getting so much low end "muddiness" and not enough crispness from this mic? When I look at this on an analyzer, there seems to be a...

I have decided on the YSM-1's. Only problem is I have only this Kenwood amp(kr-56r) from 1987 that only puts out 50 watts per channel stereo. The YSM's are 70 watt. I know this is not optimal, but I haven't a clue about electronics so will this be even acceptable? Keep in mind I am dealing...

I stumbled upon this site with some sweet sounding drum samples. Check it out at http://www.drums.sk/index.html The sample CD is a little pricey at $130, but those mp3 demo's sound pretty darn good. I d/l the demo sequencer thinking I could snatch those samples and use them with fruity...

I'm new to drums so I was just wondering....does anyone record without the resonant/bottom heads? What are the advantages / disadvantages of doing this?

Here's your chance to voice your opinion: for $300, I could get a pair of Yorkville YSM-1's and a used ra-100, or I could venture out into the relative unknown with the new studiophiles, or maybe you can recommend a better option??? Thanks.
