I'm not shure why I did THIS but... For the first time in my life - when playing for vocals - I had this feeling that nevermind what I play it fits perfectly :) Have fun - the music is real instruments plus EZ Drummer and the vocals extracted from YT. After some tweaks it sounds as perfectly...

Hi, I've come to a final choice for close-field monitors and need Your help, Folks. What I'm looking for is a monitor system that would make me hear what I mix in the lowest bass string area (some 41 Hz). I don't need floor-shaking bass, just one thet stays linear as far to the bottom as...

Hi, I'm planning to buy some monitors that will start working from some 40 Hz. My home mixing place is a 15 sq meter room so it doesn't need lots of watts. Is the USB active monitor idea worth thinking? Or should I look for active pair of monitors with S/PDIF in and they will do the job...

Hi, please, write here how you equalize recorded bass track to fit in the mix. - do you apply low cut (say under 40 Hz) to protect low end of the mix? If so, what kind of filtering you use (shelving low or hipass) and how high are the frequency and Q values (+ gain if shelving low filtering...

Hi 2 @ll! Some day our music comes out of home-studio. Average stereos don't have precisely calibrated monitors, but it's not the worse. The issue to be discussed here is when the bass line in the mix comes to the limits of particular speaker's frequency response... Let's say, we have the bass...

Hi @ll! I'm to start the midi adventure. I'm goiing to buy my first-ever non-string instrument: Edirol PCR-500 or PCR-800 midi keyboard controller. Which one would you recommend for a total beginner in keyboard area? That means I need to learn playing the keyboard from scratch. Then I'll...

Hi! I'm looking for a god realtime frequency analysis plugin for Sonar 7 Pro. I need it for mastering purposes - Cakewalk's built in Anatyst is a very inaccurate one. Any clues? peace, mike

Hi. I've made a mix of vocals & acoustic guitar. There was something wrong which made a sound odd to my ears, so after a lot of adjustment I decided to change the strings. After that my guitar lost low and mid-low range power in favour of wall of transients and harmonics at plus 10 k. I've...

Hi @ll! Which choice You find better: 1) to sacrifice dynamics for a louder sound, comparable with commercial CD tracks 2) to save dynamics and clarity of the sound, but leaving it significantly quieter than popular songs I'm quite happy with my modest mixes, but when I play it among other...

Hi! I'd like to know Your opinion on (at least) one subject, Folks. i'm preparing to release the first "single" CD with three tracks, everything made at home - playing, recording, mixing... And when it came to the mastering, the loudness problem appeared: even though I'm quite happy with my...

Hi to @ll the Sonarists! I'm quite familiar with Sonar 7 pro in makin' music based on real sounds/instruments, but I'd like to try a different genre. The problem is that I don't have a a clue how to do it, which instruments to use, to achieve a typical house/electronica groove & timbre. Does...

Hi @ll! I's like to trigger recording start/stop in SOnar 7 with a footswitch connected to Line6 TonePort UX2. Anyone knows how to do it? PS. A view hours of online research - no effect. Key bindings option seems to hace triggering by midi jeyboard option only. Is it realy so? Is it...

Hi @ll! Does anyone know what for an effect has been used in Imogen Heap track called Hide And Seek? It must be some smart circuitry, but is it a dedicated plug-in or a more advanced mixing trick? Tell Your ideas, folks! mike

Hi Folks! Today's patient's name is "Echo" and you can reach him here: http://www.myspace.com/fiksumdyrdum The player starts automatically when the page is loaded, skip two tracks forward and you'll be there. And here is the problem: When I play this track on a fine audio system it sounds...

Hi @ll! My problem seemed to be simple, but... I've recorded a cover song of Fiction Factory's "Heaven" or "Feels Like Heaven". I'd like to let it go in iTunes, eMusic and some worldwide MP3 services. In my country (Poland) there's no place to obtain DPD (digital download) license. I asked...

... and the one is me. I'm a rock-Sonar-man, and would llike to experiment with another genre. It would be greatt if you could tell me what should I do, which programs or plug-ins to use to make some house/clubby/chillout stuff. All I know is that Sonar 7 Pro includes some vst instruments and...

Hi There! In FAQ I've found this statement: "'Signatures' contain information that you want to include at the bottom of all your posts. This might include pictures, links to your site(s), quotes, etc." How the decibell can I put picture or link into it when HTML isn't allowed? Now you know...

Hi again. Once I came up with idea to make a pop-style mix with characteristic "pumping" drums/lead guitar/bass line. As far as I know this could be made with a compressor triggered by kick drum/snare signal sum. It sunds easy theoretically, but in practise it goes unnatural and artificial...

Hi @ll! My question is: which effects (apart from compressor/gate, eq) you use for vocals in the mix? I'm used to adding some reverb to de-center the vocal line in the mix, but how to achieve the goal when I need more intimate - so non-reverbed - sound? Please name the particular...
