    Best way to tame single instrument peaks

    So I was reading that Sonusman mixing tips thread, and he mentioned if there's any part of your mix that has peaks >6db higher than the rest, then you should go back and rework the mix. I assume he was talking about something like this. Those spikes are on my kick and snare. He mentioned...

    Sonar 4/Digi002 Rack Troubleshooting

    I'm not sure what happened, but all of a sudden I can't play back any of my songs within Sonar 4. It may have happened when I tried to revert to WDM driver mode from ASIO? I have changed it back and forth between ASIO and WDM mode, and it does the same thing in each. I hit play and nothing...

    Continually Increasing Tempo on a Click Track

    What's the best way to do this? My band has a song where the tempo doubles over 20 bars. Is the only way to do this increasing the tempo by 4-5 bpm on each bar? (This is how I did it.. just wondering if there's a better way)

    Korg DT-10

    Anyone ever use one of these? I'm thinking about ordering one in. It's a stompbox tuner.. Boss also makes a similar one. I guess my main concern is its construction. Just wondering how well they are built, if it'll last me at least 4-5 years.

    How much..?

    Would it cost to get 5 songs mastered at a decent place.. average song length between 4:00-4:30.. I'm in Toronto, so canadian prices would be nice.. if anyone from around here has some recommendations for places.. let me hear em! Thanks. :)

    Tuning is.. HARD

    Large Room.. vocal echoes..

    Hey all, I'm recording my band in my church sanctuary. It's a large rectangle shape, with a stage at the front, followed by a large arch with a smaller room. The drums are in there right now. Any ideas where a good place to set up the drums would be? Small room and drape blankets on the...

    Mackie 1604 --> Korg D1600

    Hey all.. I just rented a D1600 and I'm trying to figure out how to set it up with the 1604. I'm in a church sanctuary, and I've got a 16 channel snake running to the sound booth. I'm guessing that the preamps on the Mackie are higher quality than the ones on the Korg, so I'd like to use...

    C1000/NTK usage

    I've got 2 Audio-Technica Pro37 SD Condensors for overheads, kick mic, and 57 on the snare. I've got more 57's and 58's. I've also got a AKG C1000 and a Rode NTK (rented for vocals). I'm just wondering if these would be good anywhere on the drums? C1000 on the toms maybe?

    Recording Extremely Loud Screaming Vocals

    I'm going to be recording my band again in a few weeks, and I'm just wondering what kind of micing techniques could be used to get a good clean scream mixed with singing, without clipping for the scream parts.. that was the main problem I had last time. My vocalist can be very loud when he gets...
