    Which of these microphones should I get?

    I'm currently considering what condenser microphone I should get. The mic will be primarly used in voice recordings for video tutorial creation, but also for basic recording for sounds that I can sample and use in sounddesign (mouth modulators, experimental percussion etc). There may however be...

    Tips on instrumental technical metal?

    I'm looking for bands making instrumental technical metal. If they're progressive, and/or make long songs, then that's even better :) I don't know many bands like these so I can't give you any specific references, but I'm into Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster, and I've started to check out...

    My reverbs are killing my CPU....

    For a long time I've had issues with too heavy CPU usage in my projects. I've done everything I can to lighten the pressure, and a lot has improved, but there's still a lot of issues. And just now I realised that my reverb plugins are causing a lot of heavy CPU usage (not kidding, switching...

    How sensitive are studio monitors?

    I'm currently planning to buy a pair of KRK RP8 Rokit G3: KRK RP8 RoKit G3 - Thomann UK But one question that I keep thinking of... is how sensitive are studio monitors in this price range volume-wise? Because even though I mainly buy these for studio usage, I still want to be able to use...

    Tips on some good night music?

    I really love to listen to "night music", preferably in the middle of the night from time to time. I love that I feel like I'm walking the empty streets at night or driving the car, or even staring out of the window towards the city, or looking at the stars, at 2am, and digging some nice mellow...

    Your stance on Room EQ'ing?

    Please read the whole post before you rip your hair off and point fingers ;) There are a lot of things to consider Background Right now I only have a pair of "usual" speakers of the cheaper kind, but they sound good and very balanced - with EQ on the output. I have a long background in using...

    Looking for loop/preset markets

    Hi, I've done a lot of research on the internet already, and I've found many loopbank/presetbank re-sellers and markets (= sites that sell thirdparty products) but I bet there are plenty more of those. So it would be great if you could suggest further ones, so just spit them out. :) Thanks!

    F4F: How can I reach the next level with my music?

    Hi, I've been producing for a while now, and I currently struggle to reach the next level with my music. I find it hard since I feel I no longer can simply step back and criticize my own music, so I thought I'd leave it to you. Give feedback to my tracks, especially the "Oh Wait"-track and my...

    Mix This! Short Alternative Beat!

    Did a sideproject recently, and now I thought "Hey why not upload it here and give people the chance to mix it as they like", so here you go! :) It's a blend of different styles, but at the core it's kind of Future Garage. Here's the finished track...

    Preset users... any sounds you feel are missing?

    I've got the great chance to create presetbanks for a sounddesign company (Xclusive-Audio), and I felt the urge to ask: Are there any sounds/presets that you feel there's simply too little of, that you struggle to find? I'm talking about sounds that gives a certain feeling, or has some specific...

    Any thoughts on this sounddesign company?

    Not sure if this is the right subject, anyway... I've had some contact with Xclusive-Audio, and they want me to work for them as a sounddesigner. I wonder if there's any other sounddesigners out there who have been in contact with them as well, and could give me their experience of it. Or at...

    Annoying problem on FL

    Sometimes, for some reason when I've launched the DAW, several FL folders suddenly opens up, for example the plugin preset folders and the channel folders etc, and jump back and forth as I work in the program. Quite annoying! I guess I accidentally turn something on and off from time to time...

    Which song do you consider being the best Reggae-song of all time?

    I have no idea what subject is the right one, couldn't find any... Anyway... like the title says. Personally, mine is Lee Perry's dubversion Fisherman Dub, originally made by The Congos (known as "Row Fisherman"). I know there are more than one version of it, but this is the one: What about...

    How do professional songwriters translate their written vocals to the clients?

    This is what I've done so far: - I've written lyrics that I'm happy with (text + notes for each word + characteristics for the lines). - I've layed out the melody as a fake piano ontop of the instrumental track. - I've analyzed what's the most practically useful method of recording, to minimize...

    Homemade soundproofing question

    So I'm about to move to a new place in about a month (I hate it but I have no choice :/), and I'm also an apprentice and hopefully might get a job soon = earn cash again, so I'm having some thoughts about getting a more decent homestudio. Now I have the most wild thoughts on how to fix the...

    Could you review my lyrics

    I'm currently working on a track with a featured artist, and I'm writing the lyrics and laying out the melody. Anyway, since my native langueage isn't english, I feel unsure if my lyrics gives the right info of the story in it, or is completely confusing. So it would be great if those with good...

    Going for my first track with vocals, suggestions needed

    So finally I'm making my first track where I will use vocals, and since I have no experience at all on this I would appreciate some inputs! I produce electro/house/something, and I know enough about recording vocals and editing them, but I have no clue about writing the melody of the singing...

    Does my music sound professional? (Electro/House/Something)

    I bet my title sound kind of braggy, and you should know I feel kind of the opposite. I've always been experimenting with music since a was 10-12 years old (I'm soon turning 21), but not until maybe 2 years ago I started to produce music seriously. Since I started seriously I've always kept in...
