I am working in 24-bit and was wondering what levels I should be hitting when mixing. I am RMS'ing around -18db but peaking at about -12.db. This is the first time I feel as my project is justified enough to send away for mastering.

I know a lot of people use delay in tempo with the songs but I have no clue how to calculate it. For example if I had a song at 160 bpm how would I calculate that.

Reverb and drums is something I still do not have a grasp on. There are so many possibilities it hurts to think about them. So I would love to start a conversation on diffrent reverb/drum techniques. Lets try and break things down a little bit. Snare: So from my ears I am under the impression...

So I think something is up with my computer. Yesterday I was on it and everything was running perfect. Then all of the sudden things start bogging down and I start to hear weird noises from the computer itself. The noises sound like clicking and the hard-drive spinning. I checkd out what my CPU...

UPDATED-FS: Digitech Whammey (orignal), and a couple boss pedals. I have an orginal Digietech Whammey for sale. It is the one were you can actually use the foot pedals to select what bank you want to use. Why they changed it to a knob I will never know. It is in great condition and works...

Well I finally am about to record my first acoustic part. It is a seg-way transition between to songs. You know the typical acoustic part ends, cue reverse cymbal and then bam, the heavy stuff knocks you out of your seat. Well in theory that’s how it is suppose to work. Anyways, I am...

Hello Some of you may remember from my (Wow recording at 96Khz) that I recorded a drum track (8 tracks) and quickly realized my computer is not going to handle a full song at that rate. I know have resample those eight tracks of drums to 48Khz and had a few questions. 1) Is there...

WOW... I recorded something in 96 for the first time and I could not believe how much it taxes your CPU. Is this normal, does everyone else experience the same thing. My computer is a 3.2 hyper-threaded with a gig of ram. Everything is stripped down and all that is on it is my Audio software...

I have always recorded bass DI through my GR MP 2NV. This has yeiled great result but I am wonder if better is a possible. The rig I will be working with is a GK head running through the SWR cab (4X10). Out of the mics I have the only one I can see that might work is the B52. I plan on...

https://homerecording.com/bbs/attachment.php?attachmentid=19388 I am just looking for some ball park suggestions on Mic placement. I have 10 channels to work with. In the attached picture black = toms, yellow = crash, green = ride, blue = china, red = hi-hats, & pink = snare. This is a metal...

Wrong thread

I just noticed that M-Audio has realesed there replacment for the BX8, the BX8a. Anyone hear of any reviews yet. A few stores are taking pre-orders on them but no one has them in stock yet.

Well I whipped out the old credit card yesterday and bought myself a Great River MP-2NV. Needless to say I am very excited to get this thing up and running. Because this is my first “Pro” pre I am going to be inclined to use it on everything for my up and coming project. This is what I am...

I am in the market for an new 2 channel pre. I have narrowed it down to John Hardy M-1/M-2 and the Great River ME-2NV. To be honest I narrowed it down to these two based on repuation alone. I don't know to much about the sonic characteristics outside the ME-2NV being slightly colored and...

I know there are a few diffrent version and I just want to make sure this is the mic that eveyone is using for there guitars..... 1 2 Thanks Chad
