Hi guys. So, started this track a fair while back with the aim of having many people putting ideas into it. So far it is all real recorded instruments played by me and one or two of my friends. We started with recording some drum loops and went from there really... I guess if you had to slot...

I had a couple come to me to record 2 or 3 tracks.. We arranged for 6pm, but they rolled up at 10:30 ? Anyway we got 1 track down but due to time had no opportunity to check over it closely etc. I was aiming for a live sound as the room(also my local venue where I am resident engineer) has a...

This was done a good few years ago now. The band have since split, so I am ok with posting this. I won't name the studio and producer (who is very well known over here in the UK). Anyway, most of the recording, mixing etc was out of my hands and was done on a kind of 'trust me' basis. We...

I posted another track from this ep a long while ago and ever since they have been burning a hole in my hard drive �� . I feel this track is at the point of needing a few tweaks, maybe to tame a few shouty frequencies. I feel I am getting lost in my monitoring situation as I had the luxury of...

Well almost. I am a live sound engineer at my local venue and I have been tasked with mixing an outside show for a small festival. I am limited to certain outboard gear, which doesn't consist of any effects units. . I will be using a Yamaha mg24 desk, so analogue. . Here is my plan, I...

Hi guys. I have been using Reaper for a while now to record bands without issues. But as of last week Reaper keeps locking up every now and again while recording 9 tracks of audio and then continues with that chunk of audio missing... so sounds like its skipped on playback. I kept an eye on...

I found this hilarious, especially the comparison to other software! Dr. Drum - Digital Beat Making Software

I am currently mixing my bands 5 track Ep. Now due to gigging etc the tracks weren't recorded at the same time and mic positions were moved slightly amongst other things. One of the songs is how I would like the rest to sound; give or take a few alterations. There is one of the tracks...

I recorded a few months back and have since switched to Reaper, I am sure it has had a positive effect on my mixes. What do you guys think of this one. I am aware one of the guitars may be slightly out of tune :spank: I am going to blame a dodgy tuner :rolleyes: That track will be replaced at...

This is a track I wrote years ago but have only just found someone to do the vocals for it. It is not mastered, not sure if its even finished to be honest! I would like your opinions please. Ben http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=12029609&q=hi

Hi. I have started recording for my band and am really struggling with the room sound amongst other things. I have managed a half decent sound with eq and compression but am looking to get a better raw sound to begin with. Here is the room: As you can see I have a very low ceiling, I am...

Hi from the UK :) Below are some two recordings from last weekend, which I tracked at our practice space and I would like to hear your critique on them. I have been recording a while but am fairly fresh with recording whole bands. After recording a cd album last year, in a studio we have...

A month or so back I decided that rather than spend ££££ on a new kit I would completely rework my existing one. It is mainly Premier XPK with a mapex rack tom and half of another XPK bass drum joined on. The kick Sounds surprisingly punchy considering how long it is, also teamed with an...

I am recording an 'album' for my band in the next few weeks and am wondering if there is anything more I could do on the mixing side. I have recorded a tester by myself using the same gear I am planning to use to record the band. I think I am somewhere in the ballpark with this mix, it is never...

Hi guys, its been a while since I've posted... just been eating up all the knowledge! Basically I have have added a few bits to my setup recently and am not too clear on the need or the way to go about syncing the lot up. I am multi-tracking whole bands so I am using 12+ inputs. The chain...

Hi all, not many posts here as of yet but what a great resource. Basically I have accumulated a small amount of gear over the years and now feel I have enough to make half decent recordings. I had a bassist friend round the other week for the sole purpose of recording a jam and to see what I...

Hi guys, I am after some feedback on this mix if possible. Its just a little tune I threw together a few weeks back. The bass instrument is an acoustic guitar pitched down loads to sound *similar* to a double bass. the guitars were done through Revalver and the drums on Fl studio. I was...

Hi, it has been a while since I have posted but I have a very annoying problem. Whenever recording something or playing guitar through Revalver I get a buzz on all the low frequencies. It is fine when playing something that hasn't been recorded through my system. I have included a link to an...

I am fairly new to this and have recorded a track for you guys to cast your ears over. Keep in mind I am not a guitarist but a drummer, so that will explain the poor guitar! I am using a Korg 168c soundlink digital desk running via 8 channel ADAT into an Emu 1212m and Ableton 8, then mixed in...

I have an Oxygen 8 controlling my Roland XV-5050 synth which then in turn is connected via usb into the pc. I have installed the drivers no problems and it shows in the list in Fl studio under "generic controller" followed by active. But I have nothing from the Midi activity light. I am doing it...
