Anyone know a good affordable way to print art on DVDs / CDs for press kits? I was excited when I found out about the lightscribe technology which laser burns an image onto the disc, but it seems like it has been discontinued?

Soundscan says: "Nielsen Soundscan will not process sales that occurred at churches, libraries, YMCAs, malls, campgrounds, public and private schools, offices, lawn and house concerts are all ineligible venue sites." What if you are an artist who primarily plays at churches? What if your...

Thank you all so much for the feedback; it is extremely appreciated!! So relieved to know that I'm not the only one who can hear a major difference. I will be forwarding them to the producer/engineer so they can make it better, so feel free to throw in a few more comments, criticisms... Thanks...

I had a song remixed by another engineer and wanted to get some feedback on it. How does it compare to the original? JP - ReverbNation Here's the original: JP - ReverbNation Thanks so much!

Hi Tim, thanks a lot for the reply...I was almost going to get a G5!! This is what they have available at my local store, is it any good: Apple iMac MA710LL/A Desktop Computer and this online: Apple iMac MA590LL Thanks again!!

Hey everyone, I've been using PCs forever, but always heard that Macs were good for music recording and film stuff. Fed up with the slow performance of my current desktop, I'm looking to get a used, refurbished or inexpensive Mac for the ProTools software I just bought and was wondering if...

Hi everyone, thank you so much for the responses!! I'm trying to figure out how to do this. Attached is a screenshot. I tried to add a mono bus to it...but when I record with the mic, nothing comes out. What should I do?

Hi all, I just set up a new mic and in Cubase the audio shows up as a stereo track with the vocals only on one side. Is this how it's supposed to be? I did this to the vocal track: process --> stereo flip --> merge Will doing this cause a quality loss? Also, if I'm planning on exporting the...

Thanks a lot Jimmy!

I was wondering about this. I sent a wav mixdown of vocals for a song with all the takes put together. A few weeks later I was asked to make changes to some of the parts, so I recorded the changes in a separate project file and exported this version to another wav file. I then made a new...

Hey Chili, great to see you here again!!! Thanks so much for the feedback. Yes, I suppose that explains the sibilance I'd been hearing in that track. What did you think of the "untitled" track? That's the one that will be remixed later on by another engineer.

Thanks TripleM! I'll see what the engineer could do with it. How does the embellishment sound, like a Broadway type thing? I wasn't really trying to do anything special haha.

Thanks a lot cobaltaudio! The plan was to record the vocals at home then have an engineer mix everything...but some other engineer was trying to convince me to record in their studio because it would sound better or whatever. Nevertheless, good to know that an engineer would be able to work with...

These are some rough mixes recorded with 2 different microphones. If I were to have them remixed by a professional engineer, do you think the vocals would sound on par with commercial recordings, or would I have to re-record them in a studio? Someone said it sounds like it was 'recorded in a...

Thanks a lot everyone! I don't own ProTools, but I have Cubase and was sent ProTools files. So AATranslator is the only program that can help with this?
