    Ideas for a new sound system

    Hi all, I have an old 5.1home cinema sound system and I am looking to upgrade. I would like a Bluetooth one so I can use it to listen to my recordings from my phone as well as for listening to tv. What can you recommend with a budget of about £200 or $350.

    Hi Folks, let me know your thoughts of this song, what genre would you say it is too. I think the vocals might be too loud but can't make my mind up. Enjoy. https://soundcloud.com/twampy/temple-of-my-life-rough-cut

    Nice little audio interface for on the go

    Hi all, At home I use my windows 7 8gb memory pc with my trusty old emu 1616 audio interface for all my recording needs and Sonar x2 as my Daw. I have recently bought a 4gb windows 8 laptop for various uses on the go and i would like to use it to do a bit of mixing on my projects. I tried out...

    How to get more oomff

    Now I have also done the same as before but without using the limiter on the final mix, I have just raised the master volume as far as it will go without letting it go into the red.

    How to get more oomff

    getting more volume now Ok Guys, I've adjusted the EQ and used a limiter on the final mix to boost it as much as possible, what do you think compared to the first version?

    How to get more oomff

    Hi All, On working on my mixes I can't get the overall volume up on the final mix, I make sure all the loudest tracks are peaking but not going into the red and I am using compression on most tracks but not on the final mix. I use Sonar X2 and export the final mix using the preset that says...

    Freeway of the mind

    I know that the delay on my vocals won't be popular but that is how I imagine this song, written around 1991 I think it's ok to sound a bit dated. I have used a loop on the guitar that was recorded on tape back then, the rest is new.I's more of a keyboard song than guitar so apologies to the...

    Time

    This song started off as just a guitar track but we decided to add more backing. I have been working on this song for what seems like an eternity, which is quite ironic given the title of the song. I've tried to get a slap bass effect but not sure if it sounds a bit clicky. But here it is for...

    New Track, Skimming along the banks of disaster

    Hi all, I had posted this in the mix section but was advised to put it here. My 2nd track that I have done. On the mix section I was recommended to to bring the vocals more into the center which I am working on at the moment so this version still has the vocals quite wide. It's a sad song but I...

    gettting long loops in time

    Hi All, Using sonar x2. I am trying to build a song from an old 4 track recording, the machine is long gone so I recorded the tracks from a standard tape player. One stereo guitar track and one mono vocal track, the vocal was in reverse as it's a 4 track tape but sonar easily reversed it back. I...

    First attempt in years

    Hi Guys, This is my first attempt in years, I hope you enjoy. I used Sonar to produce it and recorded the vocals using a Berhinger C1 condenser microphone. The guitar is a Gibson SG through Amplitube. My audio interface is an EMU 1616. I used to play live and used sonar for controlling midi more...

    removal of effects

    Hi all, I have some old four track recordings that I would like to re-master, the concern I have is the effects on them. do you know of any way that they can be removed or minimized? quite a big ask, I have thought about trimming the tails off the wave patterns but that I don't think it will...

    which audio format

    Hi, When uploading tracks to places like sound cloud and you tube what is the best format? I prefer wma but had trouble getting it to upload to sound cloud. I ended up using mp3 but I was sure it made the cymbals sound wobbly. I think that because the wma was 32 bit I could not get it to upload.

    what level for vocals?

    First post for me, I am just wonderingvif there is a magic level for placing vocals on a track. I kind of use both my ears and eyes so to speak, placing the vocals just above the rest of the track. I usually end up making the vocals a bit on the quite side but I don't want them to overpower the...
