Currently I'm using the Gadget labs soundcard and hardware for digital recording purposes. This hardware utilizes an Alesis mixer which I also use my MK1 Active reference monitors for mixing and mastering purposes. These speakers use common 1/4" plugs for speaker wires. I'm about to get a new...

I'm using Vegas 2.0h and have used it for years...suddenly, if I render a few tracks down to one .wav file my hardrive space (approximately 4GB) suddenly starts to disappear. It disappears at about 0.2GB every two seconds or so...the file is only about 4 minutes long (only audio) and should only...

Here is the problem: most of the songs I record are in Drop D tuning...so its pretty low and heavy to begin with...what I'm curious about is if anyone has any experience with getting a strong low end by using a multi-band limiter in the mastering stage. Granted...there could be issues at the...

Allright folks...I think I've done all I can with my sorry ass abilities on this song...thanks for your comments and help...and if there are any other glaring problems...still...definately let me know and I'll get back to work... I'll definately be looking for the elusive Mr. ChrisHarris for...

some people go away...some people come back...some people come back really angry!! Its been waaaay to long since I've been here! Hope you all can lend your ear and help me out on this one...all comments would be greatly appreciated!! www.nervedrive.com/music/fall-to-me.mp3

I'm looking to add some outboard hardware to my home recording studio. Currently I use an Alesis studio 12R mixer in concert with the gadget labs wave8/24 soundcard. I do all my mixing and post-processing using Vegas Audio. Does anyone know if the benefits of an outboard compressor (like the...

Okay folks...i did a little tweaking...that hiss is still there a little bit...but its not as loud. I can't seem to reduce it anymore without making the bass sound weird. If anyone has a way to identify the frequency range....it would be very helpful...not sure what to do about that. I also...

New song here folks from my other band nervedrive....hopefully it won't need much more tweaking...but I've always jumped the gun when posting here...the drums might seem a bit loud...but they help drive the more mellow sections...lend me your ears if you don't mind...

ok...this may be waaaay to broad of a question...but since it is the season of gifts...i thought I would try to find some ideas. I'm wondering if there is any hardware (rack equipment) that could supplement my home studio. Currently I'm using the gadget labs soundcard recording 8 simultaneous...

I've been away for a week or two under some unfortunate circumstances...kept myself sane by remixing an old song...although I think it made me crazy doing it! Lend me your ears if you don't mind....and let me know whats missing...messing...or just plain stinky...

Does anyone know what happens to an amp when a tube is on the fritz or has blown? I have a marshall 50W head using a 4x12 cabinet...and the sound just doesn't seem right...I checked all the speakers...they are ok, and I think there are more than one tubes in the head, however, I have yet to open...

I think I posted this song waaaay back...but I remixed it hopefully utilizing a lot of what I've recently learned from the sensational ears that many people here have. Hopefully it doesn't need as much work as songs I've recently posted here. All feedback is good....feel free to hammer away...

urrrggggg!!!! kramer save me! Gimme your ears!!! Well...I believe all the vocal problems are fixed...and I think I removed at least some of the harshness in the guitars...but I'm not sure it was enough. Also...I'm having a heck of a time with the chorus sounding too bassy....Not sure what to do...

Ok Fellas...and gals...a new song here. I had a heck of a time with the low end since its a bit heavier than the last song that I wore you all down with...and again...your comments will really help. I think (I hope) this one is starting off better than Bleed originally did. I've got my kevlar...

Allright...again...i apologize for posting the same song...but many wanted to hear the final version...here it is. I may need to add a little more low shelving now, and some minor eqing, but I think all in all the bass drum has jazzed up the chorus so that it has a bit more dynamic presence...

Allright...I've posted this song a zillion times and have continually gotten great feedback on how crummy it was. Regardless of the songs crumminess...please take a listen and see how the mix is starting to turn out. After much reading...I'm really beginning to be a believer in the 'less is...

ok...ok...i know there are tons of posts about cleaning up the low end...and dropping out anything below 250hz for guitar...but do you apply this same approach when using drop D tuning with the guitar? I'm having a hell of a time getting separation from the bass drum, bass guitar and guitar. I'm...

Vocals need a little work...the singer sent them to me over e-mail...so they aren't in the greatest of shape right now...and there is some annoying buzzing to get rid of up front....might be a bit over compressed too....thoughts would be appreciated! it picks up about 1/2 way through the song...

Ok...quickly reworked by removing the background keyboards that most people thought didn't fit...and tried to lower the cymbals a bit....let me know your thoughts.... going for maybe two stars this time?? www.nervedrive.com/music/10-04-Bleed.mp3

I already got some feedback that the opening background music is too loud and drowns out the vocals...it doesn't happen on my speakers...so would love to hear comments about the mix and overall song....also...the cymbal crashes are a bit too loud i think. www.nervedrive.com/music/Bleed.mp3
