What would you do differently this time? What mistakes would you remedy? What would you avoid?

Okay here goes... During what years were you age 16 to 21, and what was playing in the background while you let your hormones loose on mankind? Was this music formative or influential? Was it the best music ever or has your view of it been supplanted by maturity. Did you primarily listen to...

Am I the only idiot who is drawn to the bad music hidden underneath rocks? Post your oddball covers here. I'll go first. And please comment. Even though they are odd, they can always benefit from criticism. YouTube

I've already posted My Girl's Pussy and She Gave You Syphilis. So I thought I'd post the third part of the trilogy: Erection. It's a cover of an old song from the early 80's by a group called Meg and The Suspects. YouTube Let me know what you think about the song or erections in general :D

Personally, I'm an addict. It started long ago and far away when I snagged an old 1930's Style O. It sounded like crap and had a huge dent in the shoulder. But the palm trees combined with the stink of bath tub gin made it a dream guitar. It cost me under $400 in the late 70's and, like a lot of...

I posted some REW test results in another thread. https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/studio-building-and-acoustic-treatment/room-measurements-can-i-stop-now-401688/ Now for some room ****. :D FYI the room is a former garage and is approximately 20x20 with an 8ft. ceiling.

I got tired of case clog, so I built a rack to house some of them. The design is very basic but repeatable, expandable, and can be constructed to fit most shapes and sizes. I suppose you could stack them and even make them longer, but it might look like a library or a stretch Hummer limo. The...

The Girl Had Syphilis and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. It sounds like it needs a shot of something, but I can't figure out just what. There's a certain harsh feeling but I'm getting sore listening to it over and over. Any ideas?

I was working on My Girl's Pussy and I can't tell if it's too harsh. I'm thinking it could use some cutting in the 3-6k area or might benefit from a low end boost. I hesitate to boost My Girl's Pussy for fear that it might come out muddy. Any thoughts?

I've been reworking my recording room and I'm stuffed. I'm not sure if I could build another bass trap or measure my room one more time. I've managed to control the low end (45hz-400hz) to within an 8db range and my frequency response looks reasonably flat at 1/24 or 1/48 smoothing. My waterfall...

The answer is finally here--a computer designed material that perfectly redirects and reflects sound. It also has the advantage of being lightweight and 3d printable. Prepare to be surrounded by black and yellow blocks. Thin Engineered Material Perfectly Redirects and Reflects Sound | Duke...

Can anyone recommend a studio/engineer that provides professional-level mixing services geared to the home/project studio market? I'm familiar with BlueBear Studios but are there others?

I ran into this site the other day while surfing the net: http://www.wellspringsound.com/html/Equipment_List.html If it doesn't bring out the gear slut in you nothing probably will. I was especially taken by the instrument section, which looks more like a vintage collection.

Do the newer MOTU interfaces with CueMix support low latency monitoring when using digital inputs such as TOSLINK?

I’ve been recording for some time with an original MOTU 828. Over the years, I’ve added bits and pieces to work around the internal preamps and converters. These upgrades include a Great River preamp and a Lucid AD 9624. This month I’m going to add either a Benchmark or Lucid DA converter...
