I recently purchased a drum set that was advertised as a 1990s Ludwig Fab Four kit. It had a second Tom Tom on it that the seller said he purchased as a mid 60s Tom. I did. It want it since I wanted what Ringo had. I am looking to sell it but am not sure what I have. The serial number is...

I wrote a song in the late 99s that I just decided to record last week. If I had to say what song it should sound similar to production-wise, it would be Hey Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms. I recorded everything one track at a time. Everything is real except the kick drum. No matter how I tweak...

Of course, if you are reading this, this post actually posted. Last week, I tried to post a thread about why my mixes don’t sound like the songs I hear on albums. Included a YouTube link that had 10 seconds each of a reference track and my song so that listeners could tell me where problem...

I currently record my guitar direct through a Steinberg UR44C interface. I have used a Line 6 Plus pedal board plugged in directly but I do not need anything as elaborate as this. I just want a single pedal that I could use to give my guitar a good Distortion sound when needed. I bought a BOSS...

I use Calewalk and Samplitude Pro X3. There are some songs i want to record using tne Alesis SR16 samples without hooking it up physically. How would i trigger these drum hits? Pasting each sound on the timeline grid seems wuite imoractical to me. How would i truggervthe sounds via my midi...

I have a good setup. I7; 32 go ram, all sad drives. I was using Samplitude Pro X 3 but am moving slowly back to Cakewalk. I am at a point in life that I want to re-record many of my songs from the 80s and 90s simply because they all sound so rough because of my limitations of the time. One...

I asked a question the other day for advice on how to make my songs sound more "real" during mixing. I was reluctant to post it because the song is basically a goof and I wouldn't want this song to represent my normal style. I was assured that I wouldn't be mocked as far as the song is concerned...

I have been recording since I got my Fostex X15 back in 1984, I used to just record, sometimes bounce and mix out to a cassette tape. Always sounded a bit crappy (especially to my 2018 ears) but I blamed it on the technology of the time. Fast forward to now and I decided to re-record an old song...

I was able to record audio from an external synth through my Focusrite Audio interface. I inserted an Audio track and chose the Focusrite. All good. The problem is when I add another audio track that will be used for another instrument, there is no sound coming in. That makes no sense. The track...

I am really confused and never had this issue before. I am running Sonar Platinum with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. At the most basic level, I am having a problem. As a test, I create a new project in 4/4 time and enable the metronome. I then play a vsti simple 1/4 notes for one measure, right...

I am lost. I can hear my midi controller playing a vsti in Sonar until I start recording. As soon as I click the record button, sound disappears but if I play to the click, it is there when I play back. WHat the heck is going on? Input Echo is set to Auto Thru.

I recently built a new computer for audio and video editing. Since I am focusing first on the video end, I need to get my audio in and out in real time. So, I play a simple wave file and expect it to play where it belongs on the video timeline and there is a full one second delay. Hell, I could...

While I have been recording for 30 years in my home, I never used a Patch bay. I am completely overwhelmed by the information about them. I just built a new computer system that includes an 8 port audio interface. The connections are on the rear. Since I don't want to leave 8 cables dangling...

If you want to obtain the anolog sound, this is for you. Listed on ebay: Tascam 488 MK1 Portastudio 8 Track Cassette Recorder in Box | eBay This is the great Tascam 488 8 track cassette recorder that made 8 track recording a reality for artists and producers in the 1990s. I originally bought...

I have a neo and a computer setup. I would prefer to record to the tascam and export the wav files for more control editing them. How do I do this? Suppose that I use a simple click for the tempo and then bring it into Sonar on the computer. How would I make the tempo align perfectly? I would...
