yes yes, i think that's what it is. is there anyway to get rid of that noise? i'd like to record my guitar with a totally clean sound if possible.

Hi, This is probably too simple of a question for this board, but... When I record my electric guitar, I get some buzzing sounds, especially when my hands aren't touching the strings. Anyway to get rid of this problem? Thanks!

When you guys are recording drum machines, keyboards, elec guitars, etc. into your recorder - how do you set the volume? For instance, with my drum machine, I'm not sure if I should crank the volume to the max and then adjust the input levels, or if I should have a medium volume from the drum...

where? where did you find that price? thanks!

YSM-1's price? I've been looking into getting a pair of YSM-1's, and wasn't sure if retailers always sell them in pairs, or one at a time. I found them here: http://www.musiciansmansion.com/searchresults.asp?keywords=monitor&category=99 for $112, but I thought they were more expensive than...

westermane Wow, I didn't know monitors could be such a 'hot' topic. Thanks all for the help on my initial question. After spending a frustrating few hours mixing with my Aiwas, I think you've convinced me to give a pair of monitors a try. I'm looking at the Yorkville YSM1's. They are...

more.... Ok, I understand what you are saying. But if monitors give you the flat, non-exaggerated sound, won't you tend to boost the bass, etc. too much when you're mixing? Also, you say that monitors help make the song sound better on all types of stereos. How's that? It seems like if all...

idea The CD compilation sounds like a cool thing and I'd like to hear it when it comes out. Maybe it would be a cool move if this site opened up an area where all the posters could have a few Mp3s up. That way everyone could share their music and discuss it. But maybe that's getting away...

thanks! Thanks for all the help guys! I think I'll first try the copy/paste/delay technique and see what kind of results I get. I also like the idea of trying it on some accoustic rhythm guitar parts. Thanks!

in my case... Hi all, I've been reading through this post and I agree with what you are saying - go with the pro's to have the CD done if you are serious about promoting your music. However, in my case - this is just something I do for fun and the extent of my CD production will probably be...

Hi all- I'm working on my vocals right now and would like your advice. When I listen to a lot of pro CDs, the voice sounds very full, like they recorded it two times - but it seems too perfectly matched to be two separate recordings. I've heard before that a trick is to record your vocals...

hey all, when you guys go into the studio or just want to do some serious recording, would you replace the strings on your accoustic right before you go into the studio, a week before, etc.? I wasn't sure which would sound best on the recording. Any suggestions? Thanks

ok Good point. I guess I'll go to the music store and try to hear the difference. Oh, and I'm not in NYC right now - but I'll be moving to Manhattan in July. Thanks for the help...

??? f'ing yeah what? i need to get monitors, or my tiral-and-error mixing solution will suffice?! i have a pair of bose speakers that i'm mixing with, so at least they're good non-monitors!

so it seems like monitors really help you adjust the EQ to perfection. but what about the track volumes in the mix? by using regular speakers for adjusting the volumes, can you screw up too? to this point, i've kept the EQ flat on most of my tracks (mostly because i don't know what to do with...

Hi all, As of now, I know nothing about keyboards. Most of my time is spent recording songs on my multitrack. But now, I feel it is time to add some extra sound to my songs. I need a keyboard that has some good backing effects for songs (such as strings, etc.). I've used a keyboard once...

Hi all, This may be a stupid question, but I don't know the answer right now - so please enlighten me! I do not understand why monitors are so important. The way I see it, if you mix using a decent pair of regular speakers and it sounds good through them - then that should be...
