Hey guys, Have a Boss OC-3 in near mint condition for sale. Neat little pedal - great for adding some low end to thicken up a lead part (sounds really cool before a distortion pedal) or to lay down a bass part on a loop pedal. Tracks well and the poly mode is surprisingly accurate for when...

We've recently starting a project to collect the local bands (and whatever touring bands we can snag!) in Champaign-Urbana and invite them in to do live video sessions in my studio. A website is forthcoming, but for now Youtube fits the bill (not EXACTLY mp3s...but oh well :rolleyes:) This is...

Hey guys, I'm currently running a Firestudio Project and looking to expand my inputs. Does anyone have something in the Firestudio family (Fs26, Project, Tube, etc) or possibly a Digimax D8 they'd be willing to part with? PS - I do see the post a few below me, but I'm trying to avoid the 'bay ;)

For those of you who have not seen it yet - some notable folks have organized a day to appreciate dynamics in music :) Down with the loudness wars! Dynamic Range Day

I'm working on building some broadband bass traps. The plan is to build a frame from wood, cut some holes on the sides, fill with insulation, and upholster. As these are just going to be a temporary solution and cheap is of the utmost importance, I've decided to forgo the standard 703 treatment...

As I'm trying to learn how to EQ things properly, I stumbled across a cool article. Enjoy: http://www.recordingeq.com/EQ/req0400/OctaveEQ.htm

Well, after reading the "Click Me" thread, I've decided to rename mine in hopes that I'll attract some of the more experienced guys to listen. Anywho, This is a song that two friends wrote and my brother and I helped flesh out into a more full sounding piece of work. Lemme know what works, what...

Hello all, Two of our friends came to my brother and I with a rough piano riff and some lyrics and asked us to produce it for them. This is what I've done with it so far. Lemme know what works, what could use more tweaking, etc Side Note: At the time of the recording all I could manage with...

So, my friend (the female vocalist in the song) wrote the lyrics for this and I wrote the music (my brother wrote the mandolin part). I've got it somewhat mixed, but am at a point where I think something is off...but I can't quite tell what. Lemme know what you guys think...

So I just got a pair of Tascam VL-X5's and they are my first pair of studio monitors; so, needless to say, I'm excited to use them. They use the Neutrik combo inputs (for either XLR or 1/4"). My Onyx Satellite has 1/4" outs for the monitors. The only 1/4" cables I have lying around are patch...

This is a song written by my little brother and his band. They recorded it in a fairly ghetto fashion, and as such the quality is a bit lacking. That being said, I think their brand of bluesy-garage rock sits well in Lo-Fi. I did a quick mix of it last night for him because he's more interested...

Has anyone had experience with this keyboard...I know its from the late 80's...but I'm just looking for a MIDI controller that will work and I found it cheap online. So dredge up those memories of hair metal and lets see what you got!

I'm looking for a cheap reverb unit to patch through to a vocalist while he/she is recording, but not necessarily to use in the final mix. I was looking for an Alesis Nanoverb or something along those lines....nothing pricey by any means: I was hoping to spend between $20 and $60. If anyone has...

Has anyone had a chance to compare these two Shure mics side-by-side? If so, what were the results.

I found a stereo pair of MXL 603s's online for $120 shipped. Is that a good deal? Could I find a better mic (or mics, stereo pair) in that range in order to record acoustic guitar?
