Hi I've inherited a directional microphone but there are no markings on it to say what it is, who made it, etc. It's powered by a single AA battery and appears to work. Would anyone here recognise it? I don't need it, so was just wondering whether to put it on eBay or in the bin :-) Thanks...

Hi Forum This is the latest track from my brother in law and myself. An acoustic, folky, orchestral downtempo track. We would love to hear what you think of it. https://soundcloud.com/grooveuk/see-your-face Thanks David

Hi This is a fun little project between me and my Brother in law. It's a 90's Indie influenced track (because thats when we were young). I would love to hear what you think of it. https://soundcloud.com/grooveuk/in-my-dreams Thanks David

Hi Forum I would like to hear your thoughts on this latest track. Written, performed and recorded in 5 hours by my brother in law and I, with his 7 year old son on the Djembe. As both of us came of age in the 90's, you can hear a number of indie/britpop influences...

A new track to share with you. Featuring some funky Djembe and Bongos. https://soundcloud.com/grooveuk/in-to-the-out Comments welcome.

Hi Forum I recently did this recording of a band playing Miss Nothing by The Pretty Reckless. It's a live recording with the whole band playing in the same room. I'm pretty happy with it in fact, but as always some constructive criticism on the mix and recording is welcome. Thanks David

Hi Forum I used a radically new method (for me anyway) to record this track which I think has been fairly successful. Have a listen and let me know what you think, and later I might reveal what it was. Thanks Dave

Hi I've been asked to record a choir. I am a portable studio and I usually record bands, so this is new to me. Any advice? For info on my studio see Groove UK - Mobile recording studio from Ipswich, covering Suffolk and Essex So which mics should i use for what. I'm thinking NT5's wide...

Hi Forum I was playing some sine sweeps to check my room and noticed that the stereo image would shift depending on the frequency. To make sure I wasn't going mad I tried again with some headphones and sure enough some frequencies sound more left or right than others. Is this normal? Dave

Hi Would appreciate some feedback on this mix. It's a cover of Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis. http://groove-uk.com/mp3/The-Outlaws/Great%20Balls%20of%20Fire%201st.mp3 Dave

Hi I would appreciate some feedback on this mix. I don't usually work in this genre so would like to know if i'm in the right ballpark. This is a cover of Perfect Strangers by Deep Purple. All tracking, mixing & mastering was done be me. Thanks Dave

Hello Forum Would appreciate some feedback on this mix. It was recorded live with the band in the rehearsal room in one take. http://groove-uk.com/mp3/mark/Come%20Together.mp3 Dave

Hi I'm mixing a session with a drummer singing backing vocals. The trouble I have now is all the snare and cymbals in his vocal mic. Because the vocals need to be high in the mix the drum bleed is actually overpowering the proper overheads and is making all the high end sound a bit...

I sometimes record whole bands and to do this properly would need at least 12 mics recording simultaneously into a DAW. Most bigger interfaces out there have at best 8 built in pre's, are there any with 12 or 16? I am thinking about getting two M-Audio Profire 2626's, and ADAT'ing one into the...

Hi Forum Just wanted to share this recording I did with my friend Mark. It's the first one I have done since upgrading my studio. It's a cover of Easy by Lionel Richie. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=851270&songID=6691983 Would be interested to hear any opinions on...

Out of interest I tried an experiment last night with differing mp3 bit rates and thought I would share my conclusions. First I extracted a track from a CD as a wav, then using Nero Wave Editor (this is how I usually make mp3's) I made a 128Kbs/160Kbs and 256kbs mp3 using the "highest...

Hi My band Mizi write funky mellow grooves with female vocals. It's "chill out" music but in some tracks we like to take the tempo up a bit. We are putting the finishing touches onto these two tracks and would appreciate some feedback. 1) Absolution...

Hi Please have a listen to our latest track and let me know any comments on the mix/song. The help here is always invaluable! This is a kind of funky/dubby/reggae'y (is that a word?) track called "Stick it to the man":- http://groove-uk.com/mp3/mizi/Mizi-Stick-it-to-the-man5thMay.mp3 We are...
