    Please critique this music video and song

    SO here's a song I recorded with the Last Wordbenders, a nerd-core hip hop group from Asheville, NC. Recorded at my house. Then I shot and edited the video in Asheville, NC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ_sbqNJTRM

    Please critique mix "Private Affairs"

    I'm trying to learn how to get the vocals to stand out above the sub-bass and get the rumble of the bass to not over-power the main vocal. Input please. A.D. Weighs Songs | ReverbNation

    Please Critique My first Music Video

    I'm a producer/recording artist in the process of recording a solo LP. My first video "Crows Feet & Reading Glasses" was shot/edited by a friend of mine. It was the first music video he's ever done. I think he did a decent job. Of course there are things that could've been done better. I like...

    To dither or not to dither - reducing bit depth- maybe?

    I'm working on an album that has 20 songs. It's 756 MB of data. They will fit on CDs, but the last 3 songs are skipping. Is there a way to reduce the size of the date without having destroying the sound quality? We're trying to get it under 700 MB without cutting the songs short. The artist...

    What to do with OMF files

    I used Nuendo to record an instrumental for a friend. He's going to take it somewhere else to record vocals over it. The place he's going to record the vocals is a newbie's home studio and he uses Pro Tools. I saved the instrumental as an OMF file and gave it to the artist on a CD. I know the...

    vocal overdubs and layers (panning)

    Sounds like pure crap. The rappers I work with, have a habit of using 3 or 4 layers of the same damn verse. I guess it's kinda like Tupac or maybe Eminem. The difference is, When Eminem does it, you can barely hear it. You have no problem hearing the lead vocal. When the rappers I...

    Master my songs and undercharge me!!

    Anyone here willing to master my songs for dirt cheap and still do a good job? The guy who's mastering my songs now is a former member of an 80's R&B band. He's making the music sound like that type of stuff. This would be no problem if it weren't for the fact that I do HIP-HOP music. My mixes...

However, I was looking for a thread (or even an entire site) dedicated to that subject. I'm interested in learning how to upload my mixes so you guys can...

    rewire question. what gives?

    I am using a digi 001 with the ASIO driver which allows me to use it as an interface for Nuendo. I was getting used to opening rewire while Nuendo is open and then opening reason as a slave. This allowed me to mix the vocals in Nuendo with an instrumental in Reason, thus avoiding exporting all...

    Nuendo with Digi001 using ASIO driver

    I am using the digi 001 as my sound interface thanks to the ASIO driver made available with my upgrade to Protools 6.1.1. For all that are unaware, the driver allows you to use the digi as your sound interface with other non-digi programs such as Nuendo, Cubase and even Windows Media Player...
