Ok, Here's another tune by a local band I've been recording. Finally finished all the tracks and time to mix. I think that the band might take the mixed tracks to a mastering studio and to tell the truth, I wanna make sure my mixes aren't going to be laughed at by the proffessional ME. Any...

Here's a song that I wrote, still no vocals, mainly cause I can't sing worth beans. I really wish I could sing or knew someone that could cause this song might be cool if it had a little lead vox action goin' on. I know the recording isn't the best, but go ahead and critique as much as...

Hey all, I just got a pair of Paradigm mini monitors to use as my nearfields and this mix was done on them using N-track. The band is a local group called Five Minute Ride and they are my first real paying gig, although really cheap (I'm still learning). Anyway, I know the lead vox are off in a...

Hey, I am using a Gadget Labs 824 soundcard (8 I/O) and win2k. My question is: How would a clock, like those made by Aardvark, help my sound/performance? Is a clock only useful if you have more than two pieces of digital gear? Or does it provide the actual sampling frequency (better than the...

Hey, Thanks to all who posted advice/ideas on my previous post, I have mixed another song a little differently than I have before. The song is here: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/2/1405/singles.shtml and is called "I Guess This is Goodbye." I mixed the drums differently. On the other...

I am considering purchasing an analog reel-reel 8 track recorder and using it along with my DAW which consists of a Gadget Labs 824 soundcard and N-track. I would like to record bass and drums on the reel-reel and the rest on the DAW, can these two machines be accurately synced together? How...

hey, This is a song by a band that I am currently recording a five song demo for. They haven't finished vocals yet, so I mixed one song just for fun. I finally got to use some real preamps (millennia media HV-3's) instead of my crap Alesis's and it made a big difference over previous stuff I...

Here's the link for another song done by my now broke up band. Our singer had a melodica and we decided to put it to good use, you know, add a little flava. Anyway the song is called "Another Nightmare," please give a listen and give thoughts on the melodica, production, and mix. Thanks a lot...

Hey, Here's a recording my now broke up band did a month or two ago. We kinda rushed it (a few timing mistakes here and there), but I was just wondering what you guys would think of the mix. I didn't really have a good room/monitors, so I am looking for feedback on the overall balance. Anything...

Hey, I finished the mod of my 2001 tonight and it sounds great. I used the Scott Dorsey mod that was in some recording magazine. I have recorded before and after clips of me playing the guitar. Here's the signal chain: Mic->Millenia Media HV3 pre->Gadget Labs 824 soundcard->computer w/n-track...

Disclaimer: I don't like Berhinger any more thanany other staunch pro audio guy, so no off topic flames please. Thanks I've found possibly a good deal on a pair of these. Has anyone used them? Are they the 3630's of the monitor world? Worth using as lone set of nearfields? I'm a poor student...

I am familiar with the Neve 1272 (I am building one) and some of their other famous modules, but what is a 1286?? Anyone know what this is for, or what card it's got inside??? Thanks, Ian

Hey, I just got my new issue or whatever of AMS and on the back they have all of these Groove Tubes mics for prices close to Marshall's and the Studio Projects mics. I was surprised cause I always saw these mics and they were relatively expensive, but I don't think that GT makes them anymore...

Hey, I'm gettting a computer setup and I'm getting intermittent clicks every couple of seconds when I record. The clicks are actually visible on the waveform, and are only present when playing the file, not recording it. I am using a Layla24 w/new drivers, Win2000, N-track, and a P4 1.5Ghz. I am...

Hey, I'm looking for a replacement tweeter for one of my JBL Control series speakers. They are the kinda cheapo ones. Anyway I thought someone might have one or would know of a good place to look. The tweeter has these numbers on the back: 58P60DH-01HD C5 WAVE L31TND Any ideas? I...
