Led Zep III, track 8 : That's the way. At about 4:30 in the song there is a break in the music, and coming out of the silence is this acoustic guitar, but before the acoustic even comes in, there is this cool kind of a sucking of the music as it comes in, it sounds like when you play a track...

Okay, along with my bass oriented instrumental project, I have been working on some acoustic stuff on the side. I'd appreciate any feedback you have. I recorded and mastered it in my project studio. It's all me so there is no one else to blame for it. The tune is "Sea Of Unhappiness"...

My friend doesn't have a lot of money, but he wanted to see what computer recording was all about so he got his hands on a legitamate copy of Cakewalk 9.0, I know it's a bit old, but it was cheap. So I went to his place and helped him set it up and for the last two months he has been in...

I really appreciated the feedback I got on my last tune. You guys really helped me out. I have a new one. Still a bass oriented instrumental, tentitively titled "Changes" www.nowhereradio.com/bassmasterk/singles Any feedback is really appreciated!

Hey everyone. Well, after investing waaaaay to much money in my DAW, and reading stuff around here and pretty much reading stuff everywhere I locked myself in my music room over the weekend and this is what came out of it. I would REALLY appreciate any feedback. Except for sketching out...

Not sure if this is the best forum for this question, but it seems to fit the theme the closest. Has anyone noticed that CD's seem to be getting shorter and shorter in length? I haven't pulled out my whole collection and looked at their play times one by one, but it seems to me that 45 minutes...

After reading up loads of info on mixing one thing that I have repeatedly seen as how it is much better to use subtractive EQ than additive EQ because boosting frequencies has the tendancy to start to color those frequencies from the unit that is doing the boosting. I think most of the articles...

I finished my project studio in my new house about a month ago. I built it into a basement and it is a 12.5' x 17.5' x 7 ' high room with hardwood floors and ceilings and drywall that has been primed and painted. There is about a 4 to 6 inch barrier of air between the walls and the concrete...

This has been bugging me the last year and today is the day I can't take it anymore! What the hell is the deal with the current record industry compressing the crap and squishing every listenable ounce of life out of all the new records, making them high end sizzletracks that sound like piss...

Steinberg just released this update to version 1.05 1.051 is supposed to cure a bug brought about by version 1.05. Info and downloads: SX ftp://ftp.steinberg.net/download/pc/Cubase_SX/Update_SX_1051/Patch_Cubase_SX_1051.exe...

I am looking to get a nicer reverb for my DAW than the ones that come with Cubase SX, and I'm looking to spend under $300. I have read here lots of pro Lexicon posts, and also some TC Electronic posts. In a recent GIG Magazine review the review gave the M-300 an unbelievably positive review...

In the past two months I have read several articles regarding great uses for MiniDisc Digital recorders. It would seem they are great for many different musical applications, one of which is collecting your own digital samples. This is the one that interests me the most. Sony is the leader in...

Our local GC's are blowing out their Oktava MK319's for $99.99 They "supposedly" retail for $600, I saw them on musicians friend for $300. I bought one...figured it never hurts to have another condenser in the collection, but at that price I'm almost wondering if it wouldn't be nice to have a...

I have a P3, 366mhz, 128 RAM computer that I use for the web (not my DAW), and as I was installing a CDRW drive I noticed I have another slot for some more RAM. Through a friend I got my hands on two different sticks of RAM, one looks older and very much like the RAM that I have in my...

Does anyone know if free vst's that worked fine in VST32, will operate without problems in SX? If someone knows I would rather not find out mid-project. Also, the same goes for VSTi's. Here I could see a little more room for problems of compatability being a problem since we are talking a...
