I have been asked by a few different people to record their voice on top of karaoke music that they have. So I believe I need to be worried about copyright laws. Am I liable if I record something that is copyright for someone, or are they liable? At what point is the copyright of a karaoke CD...

I know most software compression (and some hardware compressors) have the option of compressing based on RMS average value or peak value. I know what the difference is, but which one should you use on compressing the final mix? I would think the peak detection method would be best, but I would...

Does anyone know of a site where I could get some royalty free sound effects for little to no money? In particular, I'm looking for an air-raid siren. There are plenty of royalty-free air-raid sirens out there to download, but they're all 8-bit crappers. I just want a quality air-raid siren!

I posted a thread in the marketing/publicity category. I know I'm a bastard for posting the same thing twice, but I really need some good advice quick. I would appreciate it if you looked at it. It's subject is "Recording Contract." Thanks!

I finished recording a band a while back and I have been working on mastering their CD. I proposed a contract for them to sign. The only substantial term that they had to agree with was the following: No editing in any way can be performed on the Master, or any part of the Master, by the...

I was just wondering if I could get some opinions on good preamps. I am interested in getting my vocals to sound a little better. I am using an AT4033 as a mic right now--it gets patched through a Studiomaster Trilogy 326 and then directly to a MOTU 2408. Oh yeah--I am somewhat budget-minded...

I was hoping to get some feedback on a few tunes that I recorded from an acoustic guitarist named Pete Feltman. http://www.pmdproductions.com/mp3/PeteFeltman-Preoccupy.mp3 http://www.pmdproductions.com/mp3/PeteFeltman-LooktotheSkies.mp3 http://www.pmdproductions.com/mp3/PeteFeltman-Beyond.mp3...

I'm looking to buy Sonar sometime soon. I was just wondering if anyone new of a place to buy Sonar cheaper than $300. I've checked all of the major sites like Zzounds, etc. and they're all pricing it at $300.

I posted a thread in the Cool Edit forum, but the same thing happens when I use cakewalk. Here's the link: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=23572

I recently got cool edit pro and I'm trying to record in the multitrack view. The problem is that I'm getting a lot of hissing and a few pops. When I record in the single track view, it sounds perfect. Obviously it's not my outboard gear because it records a single track fine in the single...

I'm looking for a good mixer that will suit my needs for a computer multitrack setup. I'll be using a Motu 2408 and eventually a couple of Alesis AI3 A/D converters to achieve 24 tracks on my computer. But I've been looking for a mixer to plug all of my mics into that has balanced direct outs...

Alright, here's the problem: when I go into the audio view for one of my tracks, i'll use the scissor button to cut the wave file apart. After moving it to where it needs to go, I want to stretch the audio to fill a longer time slot. Sometimes the stretching command works, sometimes it...

I haven't been recording too long, and this is one of my first projects to be completed to a degree of satisfaction. I did not perform or write the song (it's by a band named Ramshackle from Iowa (www.ramshackleonline.com)) but I recorded it and I would love some comments and suggestions on the...

I purchased my MD8 about 2.5 years ago. It was May of 98 and they were in big demand--my MD8 didn't come in until August because it was on back order. I'm not positive, but I think this was a curse from the beginning. Maybe they were rushing them out the door and placing less emphasis on...

(I posted this topic in the Drum forum, too, just hoping to reach a few more people) I need a little advice here, please. In the past I have only recorded drumsets with 3 toms total. I tuned the highest tom to the 3rd of the key of the song, the middle tom to the root, and the lowest tom to the...

I need a little advice here, please. In the past I have only recorded drumsets with 3 toms total. I tuned the highest tom to the 3rd of the key of the song, the middle tom to the root, and the lowest tom to the 5th. I'm set to record an amateur band soon with 5 toms, though. The best tuning...

Hey guys. I've been looking at the Nady Equalizers because Musician's Friend is having a half-price sale on them right now. I went to Nady's site and others to find some specs on them, but for the life of me I can't. Any opinions on Nady EQ's or links to specs pages? If you know any of the...

You would probably want to invest in a drum machine, a midi interface for your computer and software to record midi (Cakewalk, etc.)
