    Please Rate These Lyrics Open To Constructive Criticism

    Folkie-- China white was a synthetic heroin on the market in the 80s, it was mostly fentanyl and fentanyl analogue based, The devils dandruff is an old timer term for cocaine, heard it many times. This is very clearly a drug song so if that was suppose to be subtle or veiled, it is not. I don't...

    Presonus Studio Channel, your oppinions.

    Thank you for all of your input, I actually ended up picking up an ART VLA ii compressor and am about to get a BLA auteur or UA610 preamp. But not before I practiced my act for a good few more months...2:1 only eliminates 50% of the dbs above the chosen threshold not eliminates 50% of the total...

    Check out the KRK line. . . they get pretty good reviews and are cheap as they get just about. The VXT line especially is getting great reviews, if you have a small room you can get a pair of 4's used for like 300 a pair.....the 6's are where its at though, especially for hip hop you want some...

    Recording Hip Hop Vocals

    Okay I can help a little bit, most if not all mainstream hiphop is compressed MORE THAN ONCE. Make sure the beat your spitting over is tracked out, not just an mp3 with a beat on it, surefire way to get crap....Another surefire way to get crap is to record/mix in an untreated room. Read up on...

    Unprocessed Vocal Tracks

    You guys don't even listen to your vocals dry before you start mixing, compressing, eq'ing etc?? Isn't the dry vocal what you listen to for a yardstick on what changes you need to make in the mix?!? I actually keep all my vocals dry on anything "important" because I will want a mix engineer to...

    Mastering your project: DIY or Go to a Pro?

    ^ Coulnd't have said it better, I strongly believe the artist should not be the one to mix the song (but should have lots of input on what happens)...its just too hard to judge you own voice etc etc...... And I think the Mixer probably should not be the masterer, you want two different sets of...

    Rode k2 or ntk????

    The NTK is a little harsh and sibilant, the K2 definitely has a nicer high end presence.

    Newb to recording, good startup setup?

    yea, you definitely got the basic idea right. I can personally vouch for the EMU 404 usb 2.0, thats the interface I use, have ran it damn near daily for about 8 months and it works great, although the headphone jack stopped working for awhile once (pretty bad problem)......It comes with pretty...

    Mixing Vocals

    Truth is you really NEED to get the beat tracked out. However, I have seen many many tips to mixing over MP3 / stereo beats. Google vocals over stereo beat, and mixing vocals over MP3 beat etc etc....It's all personal oppinions buried in various forum archives though. still some good stuff to...

    From rap vocals to soul vocals...

    stackings not really an insider secret as much as something everybody does / has done / prefers or does not prefer / works with a certain song/artist but not at all for another. Thing about stacking is the artist has to be able to nail each take in perfect time and almost perfect pitch or else...

    Vocal Recording: 1 take vs. punch-ins?

    But any artist with they're salt should be able to exactly match the vocal, and any producer worth their weight should be able to punch in with no audible volume difference. What I do is record 4 takes of the verse right in a row, choose the best 2 and comp em, than use the other two as...
