    Vocal Effects via Digital Interface/iPad AUM

    I've been performing live with my iPad/midi controller and an app called AUM which is basically a mixer where I control all my instruments, loops, etc. I just bought a Nektar Pacer to have even more control over instruments and effects, and the next step or leap I want to take is to have the...

    Electric Guitar into iPad via Interface, How to Use iPad as Speaker?

    Short story, I run my instrumentals via my iPad and run a 3.55mm from the headphone jack in the iPad, to two dual 1/4" stereo plugs that go into my mixer. Now I want to have my electric guitar go thru my iPad for looping and playing purposes. When I run my guitar into a midi interface that's...

    (Alternative Hip-Hop) My Version of the Blues

    I recorded my vocals with the Shure SM 27 (I like this mic) and mixed everything in Reason. Used the SSL compressor on vocals and a few of the instruments. High pass filter on vocals. Otherwise didn't mess with the EQ. Played guitar and turned what I recorded into a sample and put it through...

    Beatlooping VST

    I'm looking for a MPC style/Kong (Reason) pad VST that allows me to load samples, and when triggered, loop. Kong has some bugs so that when I do use the NN-Nano Sampler as part of Kong and set it to "Loop Forward" on say Pad 1, as soon as I do the same on Pad 2, it reverts Pad 1 to "No Loop."...

    Effects on Knobs like Koala for PC

    I really like the effects that come with Koala on the iPad that you can control with the knobs of a midi controller (reverb, distortion filters, reverse, etc.) and I've been on the hunt for something like that for my desktop. The closest thing I've come up with so far is Synchronous Effect...

    DAW Alternative to Cubasis 3

    Got a show coming up and unfortunately when practicing, Cubasis 3 started crashing. I was using a couple instrument tracks with my midi keyboard and integrating Koala sampler as an audio input that would play my instrumentals. Now I don't trust the DAW to work during the show without crashing...

    Livestream volume low with iPad

    So I recently tried livestreaming to YouTube via my iPad, and while I loved the ease by which it was done, the volume was low. When I played the guitar about two ft away it worked, but my monitors, maybe 6 ft away we’re muffled with my DAW sounds coming thru. Anyone have experience with this? My...

    iPad to Audio Interface to Mixer to yet again, another Audio Interface

    OK, so here's my setup normally. I have a Behringer mixer running through my Focusrite audio interface. My monitors run through the mixer. Now here's what I'm trying to do. I have an iPad that I'm running through a separate audio interface for live performance purposes. It shows that it is...

    Alternative Hip-Hop Track - How's My Mix?

    Recorded this over the weekend and have been tweaking the mix ever since. It's one of my first recordings with my new Shure SM 27 for vocals. The guitar was recorded with a Shure SM 57. The drums and choir sounds are onboard Reason sounds. I mimicked a bass line by playing the lower E string on...

    Live Show with Instrumentals - How to Level

    So I've got a hip-hop show coming up and I'm sharing the stage with another emcee, and we have various instrumentals. In the past when I perform solo I've always had the instrumentals to my albums mastered just like the album itself. In this case, since we have different instrumentals from...

    Performing Live & Streaming With a Midi-Controller

    I'm in the process of beginning to stream live performances, but I'm a little unsure on how to make it work in my situation. What I'd like to do is do my vocals through the mic, while also playing my music through my DAW (Reason) and speaker monitors. Would it be best to get a USB conference mic...

    How Can I Improve This Mix?

    I've probably been mixing this track for 20 hours+ at this point, and I'm getting frustrated. Once the hook comes in, it sounds like there's too much processing/effects and instruments. I've tried panning, EQing, etc, but it just sounds like everything is mushed together at the end. Let me know...

    Backing Up Sessions - best way?

    I use Reason Studios to record, and I've been wondering about the best way to back up my Reason sessions in the case of a drive dying, computer dying, etc, knock on wood. Typically, I export a good wav of a track to a cloud service, but that's just a mixdown of the track, and not the entire...

    Leaving Shure SM58 Plugged in Focusrite Audio Interface

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I've been wondering about this for a few weeks. I use my Focursite Scarlett audio interface for all sounds coming from my desktop, and also always have my Shure SM58 plugged into it. Is that going to wear the mic down to have it plugged in all the time? I...

    Trying to record live video with Focusrite, Reason and Video Capture Program

    I'm trying to record a live performance with my Focusrite audio interface, Reason 12 and VSDC video capture. The video is fine, however, it's either one or the other on audio. I can get the mic in one video, and the beat in another, but not at the same time. I tried using Bandicam, and though I...

    Shure KSM27 current mic - Want to Upgrade

    I've owned the Shure KSM27 for about 8 years...spent I believe $300 back then. It's a solid mic and was a huge improvement from the Nady mic I was using at the time. My question is, since I can't find one of those super convenient comparison websites like one can for video cards, cameras, etc...
