200 or 300 of my Original Music CDs Sitting for 7 years Hi All! - Been awhile - I hope I'm in the right place here: In 2002 I finished a fully-produced 10 song CD of my Original rock ballads - fully-packaged, mastered in Gem cases (Pressed - not CDRs) - just like professional bands - Well -...

Hi All! - Been awhile - I hope I'm in the right place here: In 2002 I finished a fully-produced 10 song CD of my Original rock ballads - fully-packaged, mastered in Gem cases (Pressed - not CDRs) - just like professional bands - Well - I had a few on the internet, CDbaby, and in 2 stores in...

Hi all - Ok We recorded a standard rock drum track into P:)rotools 5.3 (no click on this version) - snare, kick, hihat, etc - 5 tracks - with NO CLICK. It turned out pretty good but there seems to be a little drift in tempo here and there. Just a few milliseconds but I notice it. It bugs me. No...

Hi All I have new computer - 2 hard drives C and D . Now I have Windows XP on C. I understand that I should not have my CAKEWALK and Protools on the "system" drive - so does that mean I put ALL my Cakewalk and Protools files on drive D and all files related? and why? thx. :)

Hi Its time for me to put together a new PC computer. I use ProTools M-Powered (it's the home version BTW). I have been using an ABIT BE6-II which has been working well for 6 1/2 yrs now! If anyone has a recommendation for the best possible motherboard for PC Home music production, please let...

Hi everyone - I need to put on vocal tracks to an electronica/rock song - kind of Evanescence meets Pink Floyd meets Ace of Base-type song. Does anyone have any ideas for seating the vocals in with a real nice kind of reverby-dreamy-silkyness? My Pro-tools engineer doesnt seem to know how to...

Hi All, Question: Im new making mixable beats and I finally now have a complete 4 minute Acid Beat! Yeh! 4 mono tracks: kick, snare, clap and hihat. Now, the PROBLEM which I am anticipating is: I want to take these 4 files and save them individually as wav or Aiff (?) and import them into...

Hi I have HS2002 (I can upgrade if I need to) and I am thinking of buying Fruity loops or kinetic for Beats. This will be new because Ive always used either a real drummer or a simple old drum machine. My question is: Can these files created - kick, snare, hihat, etc. (separate track waves) -...

Hi all, I was thinking of trying Fruity-loops. Does anyone know much about it? I know its 16 bit 44, right? I m wondering if I can get professional quality sounds from it, something on par with Reason. Please let me know if youre knowledgable about Fruity-Loops and Im confused with another...

Hi All. Well, I'm having a real rough time syncing up the tambourine or shaker with the drums to get a nice tight beat. I keep moving the wave form around to try to line up the wave "points" with the snare but it still sounds sluggish. I'm not using reverb or delay either. I 'm kinda baffled...

Hi everybody. I am wondering if anyone of you "Home Pros" can help me to maximize the double tracking effect. When I did it on my choruses in one of my song rough mixes, it just sounds a little wobbly and uneven and not special or more powerful. Am I hoping for too much I wonder? Should one...

Hi everyone. Question to audio digital experts: I have a recently mastered CD of songs (16 bit). It sounds real good except for one problem: song 10 intro steps on song 9 ending. What the mastering guy was trying to accomplish was for song 10 to blend in to the end of song 9. I shouldve...

I'm getting ready to put some percussion (tambourine, shaker, congas, etc.) on my acoustic rock recording. If anyone has any ideas or tips on what sounds best on whatever song, I'd like to know. At this point I'm only familiar with the tambourine, shaker and maracas. The music is kind of...

Hello again. Well, recording's going good but when I get to mixing my 8 tracks (all audio) it's a nightmare for me. My automation seems screwed up. Faders sometimes move on their own even with no automation or snapshot ever even set. Example. New song : I play back the first 3 tracks I...
