so i was reading about production of siamese dream by the smashing pumpkins and i saw this... "The album boasts relatively high production values and ornate arrangements compared to other early-1990s alternative albums. Vig said, "Billy wanted to make a record that people would put on and say...

So i've been trying to write songs for years and it's been a struggle. I've met many people who were good writers and have never studied theory and many who have. One of the things i've noticed is that i tend to see the writing from the theory crowd as more diverse and the guys who really...

So i've had Pro Tools and a digi 002r for a number of years and i hate it!!!! i've started running cubase again and i need a good firewire interface under $1000 New. most important to me is A/D and D/A conversion. Next would be Mic pre's. it would be awesome if i could get decent pre's and...

so i'm finally going to start treating my room and I’ve read a bunch of Ethan Winer's stuff over the last few years and several other articles. I just want to get the most bang for the buck and I am trying decide which of the DIY treatments I’ve read about will provide the best absorption and...

so i've been wondering for awhile... when is the best time to use an aux send (what types of effects)? or to run the output of a track into a bus (1-2 for this example) then run 2 or more tracks in parallel off that bus (1-2)? an example i've often heard is running the collective output of...

i have this question posted along with another thead i started about a different subject and figured this question may need it's own topic. i have read a few articles over the years that said andy wallace and other engineers believe that it's easier to get tracks to "sit" well in mixes quickly...

Hi guys, I've been recording for a few years and have never really gotten the results i was looking for. Recently i became aware that i may be recording and mixing too "hot". i've always tried to get the signal coming in as hot as possible without cliping, i was always told this was the method...

Hi everyone, i've been recording for a few years and have always struggled with getting good mixes that have: punch, clarity, depth and separation. nothing i've ever done sounds nearly as good as the pros :( admittedly i don't have the best gear: digi002, KRK rokkit 5's, basic plug-ins...
