    converting projects

    If you just need the full song, you can just mix down the song as a .wav file and then import it into Reaper. If you need individual tracks to still further edit, you can just mixdown the individual tracks and then import those individually into Reaper as a .wav file. There may be an...

    How important are scales and theory in your guitar playing?

    Always reminds me that the "correct" note is just a fret away anyway. When it comes to playing Jazz and blues, that's a lot of people's take on it. You can play notes out of key as long as it resolves back to the root. Hell we only have 12 notes in western music.

    Mineral Wool Applications

    You can use just one piece of insulation for your absorption panels on the parallel walls. For the bass traps, the more the better. 6in thick bass traps (or 3 pieces put together) are pretty standard for most builds.

    How to build up a simple home recording studio- PLEASE HELP

    Just to jump in. What you "need" is completely dependent on what you're trying to do. Are you trying to multitrack and record multiple things at one time? (drums for example). Or are you just trying to record some simple guitar licks or an acoustic guitar? We need more info on what you're...

    Mineral Wool Applications

    they'll be fine for the mid/highs. I'm assuming we're talking about standard 2in/6lb material? To help attack that low end, use two or three pieces stacked together for the bass traps.

    First pedal/effect build

    I'm hoping for good things for the screamer:p. I just about finished up the fuzz tonight, just have to wire the switch and mount it. Though I'm painting the enclosure so it may take some time before it's all put together. I saved the TS for last so I could get some more practice in with the...

    First pedal/effect build

    Dove into the DIY pedals world today. First up was a booster i got from BYOC.com to practice. Worked first try! I got a octave fuzz and tube screamer clone I'm going to be putting together as well over the next few days. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I finish:D

    Building bass traps, shopping list.

    I don't necessarily think there's a wrong way. You do need something to make the insulation stick to the wood if you make the frame around it or put a support piece on the back to keep the insulation from sagging. I did mine this way, simply because it seemed logical at the time. The most...

    building acoustics frames

    Don't under estimate the 2x4. Makes framing really really simple.

    My First Home Studio (Issues & Observations)

    You don't have to, a good start would be just doing the 4 vertical corners.

    My First Home Studio (Issues & Observations)

    You probably want to ditch the blanket to be quite honest. You said it yourself, it's going to be absorbing nothing but high end. If you used it in a small space like a vocal booth (god forbid a closet), what happens? It will leave nothing but the low end, which leaves the sound being very...

    My First Home Studio (Issues & Observations)

    You can still put a panel up against the window. You more than likely have a window sill that it could easily just prop up on. By entire corner, I mean from where the back wall stops (where the blanket starts) to the side wall on either side. Then fill the corner floor to ceiling.

    is this material ok?

    probably not. Just buy some insulation, it's probably going to be a lot cheaper. I can't imagine sound material from automobiles would be very dense or thick.
