This definitely isn't my first rodeo, but usually I've tracked and mixed all the instruments myself until lately. I recently did an audition for a band that lost their vocalist, during which I had to try getting my vocal tracks to fit into their instrumental. Given my take, what could I have...

Selling a gently used AKG c214 with shockmount and windscreen $250. No scratches or dents. Absolutely nothing wrong with any of the components, just pretty tight for money right now. Located in Mississippi.

Dropping all that cheese for a logo and a name behind a mic isn't always necessary. There are plenty of lesser known mic brands that produce some amazing sounds. What are some lesser known brands or models that you've tried or heard and would recommend? Could be for vocals, amps, drums...

Anyone know of some pedals that kinda emulate that rich, saturated overdrive of a mesa boogie rec or stiletto? Of course having the amp itself is ideal to achieve the sound, but like many people in this world I don't have a thousand bucks+ to spend on it(I'm aiming for $170 or less). I plan on...

I'm sure one of the wise members of this forum could take a look at my guitar and tell me if I should be worried about a crack that just recently appeared on the neck of my guitar near the headstock. I know that's the weakest spot, I just hope it's not going to affect my guitar in anymore than...

I'll keep this short and sweet. I want my guitar to stay in tune longer without the use of a locking nut. Speaking strictly about machine heads, not anything else that'll help intonation, which locking or non-locking tuners will do what i need them to? (In-line for a telecaster)

Hey guys, I just ordered an Egnater Renegade amp head. This is my first amp head and I have a few questions regarding live setups. During live shows, I hear that some bands run their heads directly to the mixer to lower stage volume. Obviously doing this with just a speaker out will blow some...

Okay, so I've been attempting to increase the tempo with Studio One's timestretch feature. I'm only increasing it by about 3 or 4 beats but every time I do, each track ends up at different tempos. Maybe I accidentally changed a setting or something, but the feature works just fine when we use it...

My band and I have been working on a cover of Yellowcard's Ocean Avenue and although we haven't done any of the vocal harmonies yet, I would love to hear you guys' opinions on the mix/mastering/performance/etc on this cover of one of my band's old favorites:

Hello fellow home-recorders! I've had my Les Paul Custom for several years now and it still sounds wonderful. I haven't had any major problems with it to this day but I do have a little issue with its neck thickness. My LP has a setneck that's quite thick, which can get very uncomfortable to...

I've been listening to tons of songs, trying to find some nice sounding tracks. I found this song (link is below),and right now I'm wondering if anyone could give me some ideas and elaborate a little on what the producer might have used to get the vocal track to sound like this. I'm thinking...

Okay, so a while ago, I was singing along to my favorite band in which the singer has quite a wide range. As a kid, I've always wanted to sing like them so about a year ago I started trying to expand my range, especially upwards. So far, I've made good progress for someone without any...

Hi, I'm Michael. I'm 16 and I just started recording about a year ago. I was kinda looking for some critic on my latest project. Haha, go easy, I'm new :D A Party Song (The Walk of Shame) by Wtfuhz on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

Okay, so recently I bought a couple new mics and now I'm not sure which ones I should use and where I should place them. Right now I have a Blue Spark, AKG c214, AKG Perception 170, and some 57s. I'm looking for a warm, full sound since the mix will have only vocals and guitars. Usually, I'd...

Recently, I bought some new recording equipment and it's still a little foreign to me. I have a Roland Octa-capture usb interface and a pair of Mackie MR5's. I've installed the interface's driver and have plugged in the monitors, but no sound comes out. The speakers are on, the interface is on...

Hey guys. I'm looking to buy a new mixer. I'd like to know which mixers give the highest quality recording for up to $1200, OR maybe a little higher. I'll be recording mostly acoustic instruments, vocals, and stuff like that. Early thanks for the help! :D

In order of importance, what do you think anyone building a home studio should get first? i.e. mic, DAW, interface, etc...

For a while, I've been looking for a good compression setting for my vocal tracks. The main things I have the most trouble finding settings for are the threshold, noise floor, and the ratio. Could anyone please help me understand better?

Does anyone know a good condenser mic for a high tenor voice for about $300 or less? I know every voice is different but I'd really appreciate some input on where to start looking. Thanks in advance!

I recently tried making a video with windows movie maker and a Flip HD. It let me import all of my files and it was working fine. What I didn't know was that the Flip uses mp4 files and wmm doesn't accept those. I worked for 5 hours straight editting and cropping this video and when i try...
