I have a similar situation in that I have a midi-controller keyboard that has USB straight to the computer and I have an old keyboard with midi ports. For that one I just run the stereo signal out to my interface which is fine because I don't use it a lot and it sounds good.

I have found that my most inexpensive mic's do a good job of recording percussion instruments which are the lowly AT2020. I have two of them and use both for recording things like moroccas and Shakers in stereo. They are a medium diameter condenser and handle higher SPLs than other condenser...

I don't fall for most of that crap but I think some do. I honestly would rather not have a fancy interface because those graphics use resources and screen space. When I find something that works I stick with it. Yes, years ago I was always on the lookout for the next best thing but it didn't...

I was thinking the same thing. My brother has 2 drum sets and neither one has bottom heads because he likes the sound better.

They actually do though. Plenty of song writers sell songs to artists and also sell licenses to sync music. Also, once music is released most people have no idea it's been stolen unless it becomes a hit. Lots of copyrights are being violated all the time

Many of my songs I write at the computer and I record as I go. Once the song is done I move on to the next song so if I want to play the song at a later time I have to try to remember what chords and scales I used. There is a chance that I will play original songs live so that will be interesting.

I always use credit as long as there is no extra charge which is 95% of the time. I earn points and turn them in for cash and I never carry a balance.

Do you have a DAW? If not you need one. How many instruments will you be recording at the same time? If only one at a time you don't need the mixer unless you want to keep a bunch of instruments plugged in all the time. The loop station will plug into an input on either the Presonus or mixer.

IMO, every element is equally important. If any one fails the music as a whole fails.

I think he answered your question pretty well in his last post :-)

I don't like any sort of jewelry on me so as soon as I got a cell phone I ditched the wrist watch. I have a digital clock and thermometer in my car so I don't miss those items on public buildings. That said I recently asked a grade school teacher if they still teach kids to read analog clocks...

I thought it was interesting but I like some Max Roach so there's that. Two things I did not like: one, the drum sound and how repetitious they were and two, I didn't like the bass playing constant 1/8th notes. I actually liked the rest. I listened on my phone so I can't comment on the sound...

I can only speak from my own experience. I have released two EP's in recent years and in both cases the first song gets the most plays, the second song gets the second most and so on. So why would I release 8 or 10 songs knowing that people are losing interest as they listen? I know you're...

Your concept wouldn't work for me because settings change too much from song to song. My vocal and playing dynamics change quite a bit so there is always some setup to be adjusted. What I do to save time is to keep all of my key gear plugged into my mixer/interface with all of the trims set. I...

I have done it and when I pan hard left and right I had no perceptible delay or phase issues. My only issue is that acoustic DI doesn't sound very good.

I like the CD format better than anything that came before it but that said I have not used a CD for listening purposes in quite a few years. The reason is that I have amassed a huge collection of music that resides on my phone that I can play through any number of playback devices which I find...

Very energetic and you did a good job of building and then subtracting elements. I completely agree with @Slouching Raymond about the drum bits sounding harsh. I would find a way to totally remove that.

I listened on my Google Pixel 7a and the horns sound great but there is constant background noise throughout the track.

Me and my wife are retired and we've been contemplating what vehicle to buy for traveling. As much as I dislike the look and stigma of the minivan they sure do have a lot of redeeming qualities. My daughter has one and and it's really comfy and ergonomic. Multiple doors, low floor, hideaway...

Believe it or not I'm still using the original battery. I told that to the guy that runs Moriv and even he was surprised. I was told my silverfish style battery would last 3 to 5 years. What's interesting is that I don't follow the charging instructions that came with it. I generally wait until...
