Hi, I recently started a recording industry blog and was wondering if you folks would be kind enough to visit and let me know what you think. Thanks a lot! a buzz in my ear

hey, I was wondering if anyone had any feedback for two songs that my band, Seguro, just recorded. here's all the gear that we used. Ableton Live 7 mackie onyx 1220 mixer w/ firewire cheap MXL large diaphragm condenser (drum over head, vocals) SM57 (snare, guitar cab) Audix D6 (kick, bass cab)...

Hey everyone, This is a song I am nearing completion on, but I wanted a second opinion on something. In the middle of the song there is a little break with only one instrument playing, and I kinda wanted to fill it out a little with a track of some people laughing. It fit the idea of the song...

Hey, this is a song written by me, although my friends played the lead and bass parts for the recording. Tell me what you guys think! Zach Kuzmic - Echo

In the song linked below, there is an effect that they have on the vocals that I absolutely love, but I don't know how they are getting it. Can someone listen to it and tell me what they're doing? The part I'm talking about starts at about 1:05. Thank you! Mogwai - Acid Food

Which has the better preamps? Mackie Onyx Mixers or Digidesign 003 interface? And why?

Ok so here is my current setup: Mackie 1220 Onyx Mixer with firewire Sonar Laptop I really want to switch to protools, and I really am considering the Digi 003. My big concern is that it only has 4 mic pre's. I'm definitely going to use more than 4 mics at some time in the future, most...

Ok here is a song that me and my band made this week called "Drive". http://www3.upload2.net/download/DBIZMmoNATqY5TD/Drive.mp3 Here is my problem with it though: It isn't loud enough!!! When I add the song to iTunes and play it back-to-back with songs from other bands it is way quieter...

This is my four-piece band and this was recorded using decent equipment. Let me know if you think I should fix anything or if you want to know how I did something. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=562440 Thanks!

Here is a song I recorded of my band, let me know what you think! Post Game Warmup - Less Than Three Enjoy!

OK this track is nearing completion (or so I think). I am posting it to get some feedback from you guys, but before you tear every little detail apart, I want to tell you which problems I am already aware of and plan to address soon: 1. No lead guitar. It should be recorded soon. 2. That...

Ok, so I am thinking about asking for a Macbook Pro for a graduation present in May. I noticed on the 15 inch versions, there is 1 firewire 400 port, but on the new 17 inch version there is 1 firewire 400 port and one firewire 800 port. What is the difference?! I have a Mackie Onyx 1220 mixer...

OK, so I got this Mackie mixer and once I got the drivers set up and what not, I tried to record some music. I tried to record one mono track of guitar using the "Hi-z" function on channel one. When I recorded this, it was distorted and sounded awful. I tried increasing the buffer size to as...

Ok, I got a Mackie Onyx 1220 WITH the firewire option and hooked it up. I figured it would be pretty strightforward on how to use it, but to be totally honest, I am at a loss. I've done a lot of reading, so I know a lot of things about it all except this: HOW DO I PUT SOUND THROUGH IT?!?! I...

OK, I am pretty new to making home recordings. I haven't had experience with a lot of equipment (mainly due to a lack of funds). Anyway, I wanted to ask: What does the Akai s6000 sampler do exactly? I assume that it is a way to sample sounds and compile then into beats, rhythms, etc. But how...

Hi. I am not that experienced at recording drums. I have never recorded drums in what I would call a "decent quality", but I really want to. Basically what I am asking in this post is: 1) What are my alternatives when it comes to recording drums (ie - what types of mics should I buy?)...
