Hey guys, Wasn't really sure where to post this (or even if I should post this), but I figured some of you might find this interesting, at the very least. I just released my debut album Parkway Divides on Friday 11/20. I produced, recorded, arranged, wrote, sang, and played every instrument on...

I haven't posted on HR in a while...but I used to frequent this site quite often when I was building my modest home studio and starting to record this album. I write, record, arrange, produce, engineer, sing, and play all the instruments in my band Ill-Advised. I'm the only member of the band...

I am performing later this month at a college with my band and will need backing tracks for three songs for instrumentation we cannot play (synths, electronic drums, strings) but am unsure how to go about doing it. Our drummer will be wearing some headphones with a click and the track but I'm...

I'm still having the same problem. I have literally tried everything. To try and sum up what I think is going on, I'll compare Studio Drummer to NI's Battery 4 program. In Battery, as seen here it's extremely easy to route individual drums out for mixing to a new track. In Studio Drummer, no...

I've been trying to figure out how to correctly route the separate instruments in Studio Drummer to mono tracks for the individual drums and stereo tracks for the overheads so I can send them off to be mixed but for the life of me, I cannot figure it out. It's extremely easy with Battery 4 but...

I've been working on a record this summer and wrote this one and recorded it last night. It's just a demo, but I'd love to get some feedback from all you guys on it. https://soundcloud.com/harrymetzler/shame-demo-ill-advised

I've been working on a session and everything was going fine until suddenly there's a horrific MIDI latency issue. I bounced the guitar track and opened up a new session and things are fine but for some reason the session I'm working on has constant latency. I plugged my MPD18 (what I'm using as...

I've been working on slowly gathering enough gear to start working on some tracking for an album and recently purchased the Auralex Alpha-DST Roominators Kit to see if it can help with some reflections. My room is somewhat quirky (dimensions below) but there aren't huge issues that I've noticed...

I'm a music major heading into my final year in college. As part of our capstone project, I have to record an album by May 2015. I plan to kill two birds with one stone by using this as the debut album for my band and trying my luck after I graduate. I live in a house off-campus and have a very...

I've been experiencing what I think is a CPU Overload problem with my Pro Tools 10 system. Often times while recording or playing back, I'll hear digital beeps and skips and if it gets bad enough, the session will stop playing or recording and give me an array of error messages along the line of...

I've been using Guitar Rig for a couple songs exclusively and while I've had no problems coming up with smooth clean tones getting a good distortion tone for metal/rock has been somewhat difficult. It's real easy to get noisy, bassy, guitar tones but getting a nice crisp modern metal/rock tone...

Link All I can say is . . .

I've been getting this CPU overload/error (-6101 error) for about two months now. It first occurred in May when I got Guitar Rig 5 and Absynth and worked on a new song. I was running quite a few instances of the plugins: 3 or 4 of Guitar Rig, and maybe 10 of Absynth at the most and once...

Hey guys, I'm in the process of putting together a rough mix of a few tracks that I recorded drums in a studio in 2011. The experience was awful to say the least, and the drum tracks are pretty spotty. Playing wise they're solid, but the snare drum sounds like a toy drum and the toms are pretty...

I have a pretty loud voice (a decibel meter I used once read it peaked at 103 dB) and I use the SM7b. I don't really know how I can "test out" other microphones without going to a studio, so I was hoping based on the clips below you guys could help identify a decent condenser or other type of...

Hey guys, I've begun work on trying to record a collection of songs to hopefully compile an album if the quality is somewhat decent. I'm in an untreated room using an SM7b with a Primacoustic Voxguard shield. My signal chain is: SM7b -> Apogee Duet -> iMac -> Pro Tools -> Yamaha HS50 speakers...

I'm a sophomore music major at a university and I've been taking a lot of sound engineering classes the past few semesters. I'm taking an arranging/songwriting class next semester which will require that I record stuff on my own, in the school studio, and mix it in and out of school. I write and...
