I am a guitar player and after to record my first two albums programming all the synths using my PC keyboard I thought that it was time to get a MIDI controller. So I ordered a nice Arturia Minilab 3 thinking that it would be enough for my needs. Damn. The little thing is wild, very good quality...

I think that this is the same as asking who still uses a club and lives in a cave, but this is my situation... Around 15 years ago I decided to dump my entire CD collection (it wasn't too big, around 200 discs) and so I converted everything to MP3 and got rid of the physical media. I sold some...

Any chance of existing a DECENT guitar synth VST out there? It doesn't need to be free but it's mandatory that it be something GOOD. Lately I have considered to buy Boss SY-1 but I confess that while it's a great pedal I am not really excited with the idea because I prefer to record the pure...

Hi! While I have some experience using reaper to record direct WAV I am totally noob using it with MIDI. I started by right-clicking the tracks bay and choosing "Insert virtual instrument on new track". My problem is that it produces sound and excites the VUs either when I use the mouse to...

Hello my friends! I have so far recorded all my keyboard tracks with Fruity Loops sequencer and programming it with a PC keyboard and a mouse. Ugh! Now I am interested on start using a real keyboard controller but I have some questions in my head that I hope you can help to clarify: #1 I have...

Hey there! I have developed a big interest lately on AT5 Max and it looks like to be a real bargain for $99. However after checking the detailed list of included gear, I realized that while it exaggerates in some areas it lacks of presence in others. For instance, in the stomp box list I could...

After a sabbatical period I am getting back to recording and just bumped to this issue. At the moment I am working on a project where I use the free VST "DSK Brass" and as soon as I add a second copy of it FL goes crazy and crashes. I'd like to know if someone else has experienced the same...

Hey all! In 2014 I recorded my first album (7 songs) to fulfill a four decades dream. At the time I joined the forum with the hope of getting enough knowledge to mix and master it myself but... the result turned out a complete crap! 🤢 The case is that I don't have a proper equipment and room...

Would someone point me a free percussion VST which have cabasa sound? Cabasa is like a a subtle shaker: Normally it should be found in Latin Percussion kits but the ones I tried seems not have this sound. Thanks!

I downloaded and installed the free Tal-Vocoder VST but got no luck with it in Reaper. I thought that it was as easy as to hang the vocoder as an FX in my voice track and I was done. However it seems that it is more complicated than I supposed. I watched a couple tutorials in Youtube that didn't...

I have this snippet of a tune hammering into my head (I am sure I heard it in an old movie years ago). So I recorded a few notes from the top of my mind using a simple piano. Now I was wondering if it does exist any kind of online app where I could upload my recording to search for it and figure...

I'd like to add some vocoder singing in my tracks such as the found in the chorus of "Talking in your sleep" (The Romantics) and "Mr. Blue Sky" (ELO). I am a poor home producer limited to VSTs and a simple microphone. So I am looking for an easy and cheap way of doing it (if possible)... :-)...

Hi! I am going to overdub a karaoke track where I will replace either the vocals as well the original guitar solos with my own guitar interpretation. This is not a professional task, just a hobby, but I would like to make a minimally decent job. The track in this case is 'Separate ways' from...

I am in the search for a VST with this sound but first I would like to know what is this instrument. It sounds like some kind of "ancient flute" and can be heard here starting at 0:35 and 1:08... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oW_7QbkgS0&list=PLPm9ecS323dhVrRIDw52LdyC6oSzFeTfo&index=8 Any...

Someone has experience recording in a Virtual Machine? PS: I am planning to use VMWare Workstation. Thanks! :thumbs up:

Hey all, I am in need of expand my online stuff so I cannot count on free services for too much more time. After some Google research I found a lot of offers that seem to be all "great" but you know how it is. So I am looking for suggestions of a reliable host service (and for reliable I mean...

I don't know how the effect I am after is called and at the moment I cannot remind a song that uses that. The best way I can describe it is that it cuts the signal very quickly as if you were shaking a plug with a broken wire. I have heard it in several modern music and it's specially cool when...

30 years ago I had this crazy dream. By the time I was a teenager torturing a guitar in a noisy rock band and the simply idea of step in an studio and record a track could put me on the clouds. But it didn't happen, time passed, life demanded other things and now, the senior invoked that boy...

Since a few years ago my eyes aren't the same anymore (strained) and those small fonts in Reaper are almost impossible to read for me. There is any way of increase its size?

A couple days ago close to finish the master of one of my albums as usual I put all the tracks in a folder to listen to it as I would do to any regular album to feel how it sounded overall. Everything seemed to be fine except that I noticed a subtle dropout in two songs (that I never had...
