As I was driving home this afternoon, I was listening to a classic rock station and a through crept into my mind about a Tony Maserati interview I read recently. In the interview, Maserati mentions something to the degree of "I mix the music to support the vocal"; essentially that the vocal...

I recently completed the studio at our new house in the Kansas City suburbs and thought I would make a brief post here on how it was made. This is my “combo” room... As is the case with many of you, both tracking and mixing are done in a single room. The dimensions are not exactly ideal, but...

I just completed my new studio build about a week ago (pictures in another thread) and thought I would post a short sample of a little experiment that I did before and after construction. First off, a disclaimer: The audio sample posted here is not intended as any sort of "final mix", rather...

Attention Drummers! I'm cleaning out the cymbal bags and am letting go of some lovely cymbals... I thought I would put this out for the community for a week before these items go to the 'bay. With no seller fees, I can offer you fine folks a lower price than if they go to auction. I have...

I'm in the planning stages of my new recording space in the new house (well, actually we moved last July, but I'm taking my time to do it right). One finish element that I want to incorporate is to run most of the audio cable through the walls/ceiling and connect to wall jacks at certain points...

Greetings all! I'm looking for a CM Labs Dashboard unit or MotorMate to add transport controls to my venerable MotorMix unit. If you have one that you want to part with, send me a PM or e-mail. Much thanks, David *** THREAD CLOSED *** - Found a transport control today that will fit the bill!

Setup: I'm in a position where I'm just getting started on my space in the new house (after several years in a downtown loft), and I'm going to be able to track live drums again. However, most of my good drum mics are long gone, save for a handful of SM57's, a kick mic (AT Pro25), and an odd...

There was a discussion started over at the VO-BB not long ago discussing remote options for various recording software, and I thought it might be useful to the users of this forum to repost some of the topics as they might apply to those who often are wearing many hats at once (performer...

Wasn't sure where else this would fit... what an amazing piece of field recording, and what an endeavor of engineering: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2539741

Here's how to set up a template for "standard" projects in Logic or Logic Express. I use these every day, as all of my voiceover projects start the same way - with a couple of tracks for voice set up with my preferred VO channel settings, plus empty tracks for both audio loops and software...

I was cleaning out the storage locker this week and happened on a set of CD's with the rough cuts from an old session... tracked in the fall of '02. Not the greatest sound quality around, but the tunes were (I thought) pretty decent: http://www.soundclick.com/NoLessons Side note: The singer...

Hello all! Just wanted to share a quick walkthrough of some DIY panels that I finally got around to finishing today since the wife's out of town... The primary function of my little home studio is voiceover production - nice, as it doesn't take up much room - but as I banished my voiceover rig...

All, After weeks of reading interesting threads such as this one from jmorris, as well as ones from Waffleness and doulos’, I've been talking with doulos and offered to set up a file hosting where users of this community can post and pull raw audio files for purposes of mixing practice. (I...

Got a couple "spares" sitting in the equipment locker... (2) Shure SM-57's: Still in the original boxes. Never used. (Purchased for a percussion gig that ended up going V-Drums) Papers, clips, etc. are all as new. $85 each shipped or $160 for the pair. (1) Audio Technica AT-2041 Pack. 1...

Until this point, my home voiceover studio delivered audio either via e-mail, ftp upload, or mailed CD's to clients. Recently, however, I was approached about an IVR recording job in which the client wanted me to dial into his phone patch (not ISDN) to deliver audio files directly to his...

I recently installed a few additional plugins in my Logic rig (at least I thought I did), but I'm having trouble getting my new plugins to appear as options in the Logic list, despite a few scanning passes. I started by installing the plugin package into the Component folder on my HD (picture 1...

I need some troubleshooting help, gentlemen! My new rig has been working flawlessly for months now, until today when my word clock decided to drop out unexpectedly (in the middle of a project, of course), and I've tried everything I know how to fix it with no luck. My clock source is on the...

I'm planning to work on a project that will be recorded at a friend's studio, then the audio files transferred to my home studio for editing & mixing. I originally planned to upload the files to .mac from his studio and download them on my end, but some of the project files may get rather...

All, Thought I would give a link to this site, in case anyone is looking for open-source audio software for Mac's. There's some nice free audio stuff on there about 1/3 way down the page, including Aqualeggro, Audacity, and a collection of decent soft-synths and drum programming software: The...

So here I am adjusting to producing music on my computer... I'm working in Logic 8 on my Mac. I'm trying to understand the effect bussing. Essentially, it appears that to use a "group send", I'm assigning a post fader signal to a buss, and then applying an effect plugin as an insert on the...
