    Is this soldering station suitable for SMD work?

    Was given this for my birthday and while it's no Weller, it's much better than what I currently have (a piece of shit Radioshack iron). Sort of curious about two things 1. Will this iron be fine for lead solder? I've got so much of it, it'd seem a shame to spring for lead-free and waste what I...

    Looking for some feedback on this hardcore band's mix

    Recorded a band called Nations from Gastonia, NC and I'm looking for a little feedback on this mix/master job. I think it's pretty close to "finished" but know there's something I'm overlooking in it (there always is). More tracks available upon request. Thanks in advance for any input...

    And dear god it is looking sexy. Very stable on my end, as well as improved memory usage.

    Mastering for CD vs. vinyl

    If this has been discussed before, please be so kind as to point me in the right direction. My band is currently working on finishing up our record and as we get closer and closer to mixing/mastering, I started thinking about pressing. Ideally, I'd like to do a 1000 copy run on CD, and 200-500...

    Portishead cover

    Welp, my band decided to do a cover of Roads by Portishead. I don't know the legality of simply putting it on Myspace, but copyright laws be damned! It's a good song! Any thoughts on the mix would be greatly appreciated (sorry I don't have anything better than a Myspace link right now, just got...

    Need some opinions on this mix (metal/hardcore stuff)

    Been working on it for a couple of days, and think I've got it about where it needs to be other than some automation, but here's a good example of the general sound of the record. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=15244 Any input would be appreciated, as I want to do a great job for...

    Guitarist brought to drumming by necessity

    So, I'm in a band. We have gone through so many drummers it's not even funny. I had some drum experience so I decided to step up to the plate and try my hand at it. 3 weeks later I feel like I'm in a place where I can actually become an above average drummer. My hand/foot independence is...

    New band, new style, new mixing methods

    http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=13326 So, I've got a new band in the works. We're currently writing for an EP, and I'd like to get some feedback on how my mixing is turning out so far. I've begun using Reaper exclusively, and as such have adopted a new method of mixing, so I'm...

    Thoughts on Xeons for DAW?

    I'm already thinking about a new system. This time I'm thinking of going all out and building an 8 core system. So, I'm looking for thoughts on Xeon performance in terms of DAW apps (mostly Cubase, Reaper, and Reason) and if there's any huge difference between server- and non-server-class CPUs...

    Shure Wireless SM58 system!

    Just here to shamelessly advertise my auction. Need some cash for a car, and hoping to get close to $200. It's pretty much brand new and retailed for $250 (but is now discontinued). Free shipping for any HR-ites in the US :P

    Another mix to practice with

    Almighty Flying Machine - Homeowner's Association (375 MB zip) Quick MP3 mix by yours truly I don't really intend for this to be a contest (unless some people want to judge), just another band for people to practice with as it's a good idea to get your hands dirty with as many styles as...

    AMD Phenoms?

    So, what's the verdict on these? I'm thinking about grabbing a mobo and a 9500. Would be around $300. 95W seems really good as far as consumption for a quad core, but I'm wondering what the heat output on these is like... Also, anyone know of dual AM2+ motherboards?

    My new monitors

    I picked up a Lexicon Alpha to do some guitar tracks at home. Forgot to grab another instrument cable while at Guitar Center, so I decided to stop at Sam Ash. Figured I'd stop and look at some monitors while I was in there too. What did I find? Fostex MK-IIs for $174. Yep, $174 for the pair...

    Replacing a terrible ribbon element

    Well, I actually already replaced it, but it sounds about the same. Overbearing lows, and almost nonexistant highs. It's a Nsonic NS-1 (made by Alctron I believe). It's basically just a ribbon element and a transformer (looks like the one iso transformer that Radioshack stocks). But yeah, enough...

    Custom VST plugin/phase alignment theory

    So, I'm reading up on the VST SDK as well as the VSTGUI library. Basically what I want to do is mimic the little labs IBP phase alignment box, but I don't have much of a grasp on what non-polarizing phase alignment entails, or much of a grasp on phase theory in general. Google didn't really help...

    Dreamy rock instrumental (some call it porn music?)

    Updated Link - If this doesn't work, then I have done something unknown to offend the internet gods Well, a friend and I are working on getting a new project going and threw the beginnings of a song together using Fruityloops, Guitar Rig, and some VSTis. There are timing issues in the...

    N-Sonic microphones - ever heard of them?

    Just wondering if anyone's heard of this brand and if anyone can confirm that the Nady RSM-3 is just a rebranded NS-1. Or has ANY info on the company (as I couldn't find one bit).
