Hey-up... I've not been here for over six years (a long story) but I'm hopefully get back into making music and I thought I'd better post here first and say "hi!" There appears to be so much to catch up on lol

The other night I was able to try my hand at recording acoustic drums. A drummer I know recently built a room within his garage with a view to doing just this so I arranged to get round to his and have a go at it. My recording equipment now includes the following:- Fostex MR8DH 8 track...

Reflexion Filter Any comments? Load of bollocks? Worthwhile addition to a small amateur studio? thanks for your time andy

I need to consider buying a pre-amp to go with my new Rode NT1. I could go through my mixer but it has a rather noisy fan... well, not that loud but it is still audible during the silent portions of my acoustic recordings. I'm now thinking that if I go through a pre-amp and then into my...

OK, nearly got my new DAW up to speed. Dew to many many problems with stuff functioning and then not functioning, some of it my fault and some quite unexplainable it's taken me nearly 30 man hours to get to this stage... and I've still not got all my software installed. Anyways... enough of...

Righty ho then... due to the fact that I've pretty much screwed up my current DAW during my recent upgrades to make my AMD PC quieter (trashed a hard disk that's going to take £600 to recover the data AND trashing the IDE0 controller on the motherboard) I'm now seriously thinking of making some...

Hi I'm nearly finished isolating my DAW (PC) and I'm really pleased with the results so far. I couldn't really put the PC into another room and I sometimes want to record on my own which means being in the same room as my DAW so that I can start/stop my recording software. Once I'm done I'll...

Peeps, I've just printed of each and every article about recording/mixing/mastering/compression/eq/the whole shebang But with all the talk of "Myths" over the last couple of days, are the articles at Sound On Sound reliable reading and resource material? Do the guys at Sound On Sound know what...

Yep, I know... there is a Sound Forge specific forum here but have you been in there recently? Not much going on. And my question is more about Mastering really... although I say that in the amateur sense cos I ain't no mastering engineer (as you know). And try to bare with me... and I'll try...

just testing something... just been trying to post something here but without much success... network error or something...

that I gave you the opportunity to have a laugh at some of my recent attempts at tracking/mixing. I reallise that this is probably the wrong place but I'm just following suit... Anyways, I did some stuff last week for a band that are helping me to develop my skills (and they get a cheap demo in...

I found this an interesting and informative read:- http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/aug04/articles/computermastering.htm Oh, BTW... if you don't think I should be sharing these links with you then I shall desist with immediate effect :)

I've been searching around in t'internet for mastering articles and I came across something called Separation Mastering. No doubt everybody here knows about this technique but for those who might not, here's a link:- http://www.johnvestman.com/separations.htm The article tries to make it...
