Hi guys, had a busy summer but I managed to record one song in my home studio. It's short and sweet and I'd appreciate if you could give it a listen :D I have a feeling I know the critiques you guys will make (drums somewhat dead sounding, vocals slightly overpowering) but I'm sure there are...

I was wondering if you guys could listen to my song and point out any problems you hear with the mix. This is the second song I've recorded after finishing my home studio; mixing has gotten easier as I get better at capturing source material, but my ears are still inexperienced when it comes...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I messed around with the mix some more, taking everybody's advice into account: - lowered the vocals - lowered lead guitar during the solo to make rhythm more audible - brought some low end back into the bass - added a bit of widener to the delay guitars -...

https://soundcloud.com/sentientecho/sleepwalking Over the summer I spent a lot of time upgrading my home studio--finding the right equipment, fine tuning my guitar rig, and building/mounting acoustic panels all over my room (under the guidance of some wonderful homerecording members). I've been...

I'm looking into some stereo delay/reverb type effects for my guitar rig, and I've come up with two possible ways to record them: 1) use two identical (or similar sounding) amps; route left channel to amp #1 and right channel to amp #2 2) use only one amp; route left channel to amp #1 and...

I'm in the process of treating my bedroom--I've mounted a bass trap in each wall-to-wall corner, and now I have 10 panels to mount (2 inch fiberglass in a 2'x4'x4" frame). I am a bit concerned about mounting these panels in drywall, because some of the panels will be suspended over my head as I...

Hey, I'm trying to fill up my Lunchbox, looking for the following 500 series modules: Buzz Audio Essence Buzz Audio Tonic Rupert Neve Designs 542 If you have any of these items and are looking to sell, please send me a PM!

I have been searching for a good "workhorse" condenser. I need it primarily for vocals, but also acoustic guitar (and other random uses, like hand percussion and drum overheads). The character I am looking for is "present" and "airy" but without sibilance... to me this means a slight push in the...

I've been recording through an RME Babyface, which has two analog inputs, but allows up to 8 more channels through an ADAT in. The problem is... I'm not sure how to make use of those extra channels. I know there are preamps with ADAT out, but I'm not looking for a whole bunch of cheap pres...

So, I was a little bit off with my estimate. Here is a rough diagram of my room. I decided, if it is really necessary, I could get rid of all the furniture besides my bed (my room is signficantly smaller with the furniture around the walls). If I go through with this, does anyone have advice...

Up until now, I've been recording and mixing in my bedroom, with no treatment. I know treatment is important, but the problem is that my room is so cluttered (with rectangular furniture against the walls creating more corners) that I feel treatment might be more trouble than it's worth. I know...

I know there are plenty of free plugins that give you control over the left and right channel of delay. In a mix I'm working on, I used a stereo delay to set up a "ping pong" effect, where the part bounces a few times from right to left, getting quieter each time. However, I think it would be...

Does anyone have experience with this preamp? It has a ton of useful features (variable input impedance, variable hpf, -20db pad, blend knob for tube) and is supposedly hand-built in the US, so I am wondering why the price is so low. From the reviews I've read, some people say it's way too...

It's my birthday today, so I decided to indulge myself and buy some new gizmos. Specifically, I'm looking for a used Focusrite ISA One, FMR PBC-6a, or DBX 242 Parametric EQ. For the past few days, I have scoured craigslist and ebay to no avail. If you have any of these units and are looking to...

I'm a guitarist and I don't know a lot about bass equipment. I recently heard a bass tone that I really loved and want to emulate (Trent Reznor Dave Grohl Josh Homme Recording - YouTube around 3:20), but I don't know where to start... Do you guys have any ideas for combination of equipment...

thanks a lot for all the help guys. i'm pretty happy with how this turned out--it's not perfect but it's way better than the original. now there's one more problem... the mix is really soft. here's what i'm working with: http://soundcloud.com/sentientecho/dusk-1 i guess this step is considered...

this is not your everyday instrumental. i had a lot of fun making it, so hopefully somebody has fun listening to it... this is my second attempt at recording a song by myself, so there is probably a lot that can be improved. if you hear anything wrong with the mix please let me know (i can...

thanks for listening and giving me advice gecko. i started over from scratch, and tried to keep your suggestions in mind. does this sound any better? (i left the older version on soundcloud so you can compare)

hi, i'm having a bit of bass trouble. i boosted my bass track at 800 and 4.1k, cut out some of the yucky frequencies (around 230 hz and 470 hz), and eq'd the other tracks to make room for it. everything sounded pretty good on my speakers/headphones, but when i tested it on my car speakers, it...
