Hi all, I've not been around much lately :) but have a project I need to get finished and mastered, I would welcome any input into this, its been a complicated job and I've heard it so much I'm getting ear blind :) Thanks in advance Bruce

I saw this on here ages ago and never got round to copying it (sorry I cant give credit I just kept the pic) mine are in a couple of drawers under my desk in their boxes.

Hi, I'm about to pull the pin on treating my room, I have bought everything I need to build 5 4x2 panels and 2 basstraps. It should hopefully be a start. I like the design for the corner traps as seen in this YouTube link...

Ok so i've got the day off to paint the house but it's raining so, thought i'd have a play with mics instead... The image is from the reverse as the light was in my way. I recorded all 4 at once and pasted them to one track, see which one you think came out best and I'll post the right answer...

Hi, sorry I've been away for awhile. Thanks again for all your comments I have been chipping away at this and the performer was interested in mastering so thought it worth trying online mastering services. Abbey Road has a service so we gave them a try... would appreciate your input and...

Hi Guys, I'm really struggling with this mix as I am doing it for a friend and it might be used for promotional purposes for work. Cant quite get the vocals to sit in the mix, amongst other things! Any suggestions welcome :) Thanks in advance

The title says it all, at last PT has a collaboration feature, I havn't had a proper look yet (cos I've got no friends) but it looks really good. Had loads of bugs with the move up to PT 12.5, that I hadn't experienced with12.4 CPU overload messages, every time I tried to record anything it...

Came across this whilst aimlessly surfing... cool guy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgREkNjQBn4

Anyone else running the new PT remote? I'm loving it :) I no longer have to run RDP and a second PC when I'm out in the shed, just take the iPad and I've got everything I need, seems to me to be a lot more responsive than my presonus SL control which can be really huffy. It wont let you adjust...

some shop hangers from the bay and an oak plank, total was about £80 it keeps them handy and its tidy enough to keep the wife happy :)

I've abandoned my attempts to use the Octapad as a source of drum sounds and bought a cheap kit - I can hold a beat so I can learn and it'll be fun!! I bought a Mapex M 5 piece kit but has no cymbals, I know it's personal choice but I have to start somewhere so any advice appreciated. Looking...

Hi I've extended my recording room into the workshop with an 8 way multicore the intention being to give me a range of options for recording I have set it up as 8 male xlr in my music room to 6 female xlr and 2 combo xlrs in the workshop. The reason for the combos was that I can either send a...

You can pay a small fortune for pro stands, you could try buying a good quality stand make sure it has a good locking mechanism on the arm or better still has the serrated type you find on cymbal stands and add weights to the base if you need....

Hi, I recently bought a Roland Octapad SPD 30 and V Drums (snare, hi hat and kick) (triggering the Octapad) all of which works and sounds fine. The intention was to use this as a drum input to pro tools 9 which again seems to work but I'm struggling to use the Octapad as a sound module I.e. I...

Had this track sitting around for a while, had a go at a mix. Any thoughts? I've had to mix mostly on headphones tonight so bear that in mind https://homerecording.com/bbs/images/icons/icon11.png thanks bruce
