Yep, it's as the wiki article suggests, a label operating digitally. All of the artists own their own work, however, and we have guests, so I see it as music curation, in a way. Another way to see it is music filtration: out of all of the home-recorded music and independent bands out there, we...

Hey everyone, A couple of music-making friends and I recently launched a Netlabel. It's called Harbor Sounds Records. We release music of the three artists that staff the label, but a major feature is that we also release mixtapes from a bunch of artists. The first one is here...

John Mayer, for sure. Also, I hate to say it, but Kurt Cobain. He sometimes gets included in great guitarist lists, but in the end his real talent was songwriting rather that virtuosic instrumental talent.

It seems that Logic 10 should be landing relatively soon. I'm wondering if they'll make it compatible with PC. That would be a major plus for me, since I'm currently a PC/inbetween user (and considering Logic), and having the flexibility between machines would allow Logic to compete with Pro...

I made my own website, and used AN hosting, and then wordpress software. Not sure of the relative merits of hosting services, but I do like wordpress. Essentially I downloaded a theme which was structurally similar to what I wanted, and then edited the css (I had to hit the books a little bit)...

I finished an EP recently, and uploaded it to Soundcloud and Bandcamp. I got a bit of a shock when I heard how they were coded in - it was as if all my mixing and mastering work was for naught (well, I guess not quite). The tracks I uploaded were 24bit, 44.1kHz wav files, so decent quality...

I'm looking for a pair at the moment, around the $300 mark, or possibly more. The guy in Guitar Center recommended the Shure SRH 940s. Anyone used them? They seem to get good reviews. Also, anyone tried a Focusrite VRM Box? Apparently it simulates various monitors, but through your headphones...

A friend of mine did a tour last summer and said he checked in a guitar and bass in hard cases...perhaps it's largely fine.

I was wondering about this recently, and instead of starting a new thread, I did a search, and voila! I can use a recent one. I'm hoping to take two guitars with me across the atlantic soon, a Taylor acoustic, and an Ibanez bass. I've taken electric guitars with me as carry on before, as...

Hey folks, Finished this track about two weeks ago. Let me know what you think in terms of the production, and the songwriting of course. It's more of a singer-songwriter type of song than I usually do. Cheers! Peaks by Stereo Zoo on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

I'm a Sonar User, but don't like it much, and am planning an eventual upgrade. I think this thread identifies the general consensus that Protools and Logic are generally thought of as the top two DAWS at the moment. I think there's also a general consensus that Avid as a company don't treat...

Parker P-44 Fender Stratocaster (Mexican version - midnight wine) Ibanez SA120 Ovation Applause Squier Stratocaster (my first electric, from a starter kit) A $30 acoustic from an Argos catalogue I got when I was 14...I don't even know the make! Also: Ibanez SR500 Bass

Hey, 'name's Mike. Been home recording for 6 years or so, and have been steadily improving over time through self-teaching. Recently I realized that I'd hit a wall with some of my recordings, and decided I need a more "conventional" education (i.e. less trial and error) on recording techniques...

Talk about opening Pandora's box! Space, for me, would be priority no.1, since I just have a bedroom with average sound isolation. I would also invest in top quality instruments - probably a high-end Taylor acoustic and a Les Paul straight of the bat - but also delve into a range of different...

I have a really basic question about buses in Sonar. When I send a track to a bus which has a reverb effect, it changes the pan of the track. My plan was to send a bunch of guitar tracks to the one reverb bus, cutting down on CPU, but if I have two tracks panned 100 L and 100 R, for example...
