    Getting things started with my favorite EQ chart

    These are decent reference points if you're not quite experienced with your frequencies yet. They point out some of the more common frequency buildup spots. Of course, these are all ballpark guesstimations but it'll point you in the right direction.

    Mixing Vocals onto an Instrumental Track

    This definitely isn't my first rodeo, but usually I've tracked and mixed all the instruments myself until lately. I recently did an audition for a band that lost their vocalist, during which I had to try getting my vocal tracks to fit into their instrumental. Given my take, what could I have...

    Mix this 2 tracks (Guitar + Vocal) Acoustic indie song!

    I enjoyed this one. Simple, yet soothing. I went for a smoother, more gain saturated sound :drunk:

    Selling AKG c214

    Selling a gently used AKG c214 with shockmount and windscreen $250. No scratches or dents. Absolutely nothing wrong with any of the components, just pretty tight for money right now. Located in Mississippi.

    Lesser Known Brands

    Dropping all that cheese for a logo and a name behind a mic isn't always necessary. There are plenty of lesser known mic brands that produce some amazing sounds. What are some lesser known brands or models that you've tried or heard and would recommend? Could be for vocals, amps, drums...

    let me see your studio!

    Doesn't compare to all these sick setups, but here's what I'm working with so far: Mics aren't all there, have a Sennheiser 935 and a Shure Beta58 at the jam room. ..........

    Distortion/Overdrive pedals: That Mesa Boogie Sound

    Anyone know of some pedals that kinda emulate that rich, saturated overdrive of a mesa boogie rec or stiletto? Of course having the amp itself is ideal to achieve the sound, but like many people in this world I don't have a thousand bucks+ to spend on it(I'm aiming for $170 or less). I plan on...

    Neck Crack: Just a finish crack, or worse?

    I'm sure one of the wise members of this forum could take a look at my guitar and tell me if I should be worried about a crack that just recently appeared on the neck of my guitar near the headstock. I know that's the weakest spot, I just hope it's not going to affect my guitar in anymore than...

    Guitar Tuning Pegs

    I'll keep this short and sweet. I want my guitar to stay in tune longer without the use of a locking nut. Speaking strictly about machine heads, not anything else that'll help intonation, which locking or non-locking tuners will do what i need them to? (In-line for a telecaster)

    Retarded Amp Head Questions

    Hey guys, I just ordered an Egnater Renegade amp head. This is my first amp head and I have a few questions regarding live setups. During live shows, I hear that some bands run their heads directly to the mixer to lower stage volume. Obviously doing this with just a speaker out will blow some...

    Time stretch/tempo problem (S1)

    Okay, so I've been attempting to increase the tempo with Studio One's timestretch feature. I'm only increasing it by about 3 or 4 beats but every time I do, each track ends up at different tempos. Maybe I accidentally changed a setting or something, but the feature works just fine when we use it...

    Opinions on one of my band's acoustic covers

    My band and I have been working on a cover of Yellowcard's Ocean Avenue and although we haven't done any of the vocal harmonies yet, I would love to hear you guys' opinions on the mix/mastering/performance/etc on this cover of one of my band's old favorites:

    Guitar Neck Thickness

    Hello fellow home-recorders! I've had my Les Paul Custom for several years now and it still sounds wonderful. I haven't had any major problems with it to this day but I do have a little issue with its neck thickness. My LP has a setneck that's quite thick, which can get very uncomfortable to...

    Calling All Vocal Track Gurus! Your guidance has been requested

    I've been listening to tons of songs, trying to find some nice sounding tracks. I found this song (link is below),and right now I'm wondering if anyone could give me some ideas and elaborate a little on what the producer might have used to get the vocal track to sound like this. I'm thinking...
