    I think it's junk...

    Ok, maybe not junk, but I'm just getting really bored/frustrated with my "solo" material. I've been fiddling with this mix for a bit now...I know I'm missing some things (and I'm mixing with headphones/hifi stereo). The track is intentionally stripped down, as I'm hoping to have another...

    Inside an M-Audio USB Mic

    Holy moly MSH! Let me re-read that again before I articulate anything! Man, you know your stuff. I hope these pics will suffice. I'd be very interested in swapping the stock FET out for a better one. I already did one "mod", I removed the felt liner from the grill as well as the...

    Inside an M-Audio USB Mic

    I decided to open up my M-Audio Producer USB and see what's going on behind the grill. The mic is sometimes advertised as a Large-Diaphragm Condenser......I don't think this qualifies as such. I've provided some basic info on the picture. I'm curious as to what that FET is doing? I...

    Where Do I Begin (Original) Acoustic Rock

    This is the first time I've attempted recording without proper equipment. I'm honestly suprised I got a useable sound using my piddly little USB mic. Mixing with headphones/Hifi speakers is pitiful, lol. I know the track has problems, that became more evident when I converted it to MP3. What...

    What do you REALLY think!?

    Well, I've been on a sort of hiatus from many things, including the good ol' Homerecording BBS! I'm back, and I'm looking to get back into recording. Enough jibba-jab, I'm wanting some serious feedback on my singing (and playing). All I've got is a cheap USB mic and the webcam built into...

    Do I suck?

    I'm really only looking for opinions on my singing here. HERE'S THE LINK I recorded all this with a very simple setup. I managed to write the song and compose the music as well as record and mix it all in under 3 hours. Pretty rushed, considering I've spent hours upon hours on simple...

    Edrums (MIDI) to DFH in Sonar?

    Well I'm stuck. I've got my DTXtreme II Kit hooked up via MIDI (Delta 1010LT) and I was hoping to trigger the samples in Drumkit From Hell, then recording that into Sonar. I should mention this is one of my first experiences with MIDI, and my absolute first at software triggering. I can't...

    V-Amp Pro. Signal too hot?

    Alright, alright. You caught me - Behringer gear. I just needed something to lay scratch tracks down with!:cool: Anyhow, I've been fiddling around with this thing for HOURS now, trying to figure out what going on. For starters, here's my current signal chain: V-AMP Pro XLR (L,R) to Delta...

    FS: Pearl Icon Curved Rack + Accessories!!

    Unhiding Tracks!?

    I'm using Sonar 5, and I accidentally clicked "hide track" on one of my tracks. I was in track view of course, and now the track is hidden. I can still see and edit it in the console view, but otherwise it's lost to me! How in God's Green Earth do I unhide this damn track!? I've fiddled...

    Thrown Away (BIG WIP)

    I recently wrote this...I think you can guess what sparked it! Anyhow, keep in mind this is a totally rough track....hence the poor mixing and odd clipping on the acoustics. I cleaned it up a little bit, but this was just to capture the idea. I've got plenty of these "ideas", so I though...

    NT1a to V69! WOW!

    I've been recording some of my original songs lately, and I had been looking for a decent upgrade from my NT1a. The NT1a is still useful, but for my voice it's way to thin and hissy. I knew I wanted something that would help thicken my vocals, yet keep them fairly clear and defined. (not...

    My Acoustic sucks.....I need a new one!

    I do a lot of my songwriting on an acoustic (okay, 90%), but my little acoustic just isn't cutting it. It's an Aria, and it's well over 25 years old. Sounds decent, but plays like crap and is unreliable. I can't record with it because it sounds like crap miked. I need a new acoustic...

    I Got New Monitors!!!!!

    YES! I knew I needed to upgrade from my hi-fi speakers if I wanted to keep progressing in recording. I bought a pair of KRK RP-8's and just got them set up on my desk. Dear Lord, the difference is immediatley apparent. Now I REALLY know what others meant by flat-response and good stereo...

    FS: M-Audio Delta 1010LT

    I'm moving up, so to speak, and want to sell my trusty 1010LT. This PCI Interface is in pristine condition and will include all original packaging, manuals, adapters, and driver disks. I purchased this unit about 1 year ago from Musicians Friend. It was a great investment for me, and will...

    60hz Hum! Don't we love it?

    I know I've grown awfully "happy" with the 60hz hum making itself present in my tracks. Of course, by "happy" I mean absolutely disgusted. ;) Anyhow, here's a bit of the scenario. SDC (mono) to PAiA TMP 1/4 out to RCA IN on my M-Audio Delta 1010LT. I know I'm running an Unbalanced...

    First Submission! Abandoned (WIP)

    Yep, I've finally gotten around to posting some lyrics. This is a fresh one, just started piecing it together today. A lot of the parts may seem boring, but I think this song may be better suited in musical form. Anyway: ABANDONED _V1_ Why does it hurt why do we bleed we all suffer...

    Mic reccomendations please!

    Howdy fellas. I'm not very pleased with my NT1a anymore for my vocals. I want something that'll represent my voice better. I don't want to spend more that $400 right now, and I have no problem buying used. Keep in mind, this is for recording purposes ONLY. To help out, I'm gonna describe my...
