    How to handle acoustics in this room (pictures included)?

    I am using a spare room as my home "studio". Below is a picture of it (mind the mess). Anyway, what would be some general starting points to handle acoustic problems in this room? I know I have a slight bass problem (too much bass). But the room is kind of tight so I don't know of any bass trap...

    Upgrading to a better firewire interface worth it?

    So I always read online that the A/D converter is really important in firewire interfaces. Are there any online examples of this phenomenon? For example, one clip recorded via a cheap firewire interface and another with a higher quality interface? I'm just curious because I have had a Presonus...

    Thinking about upgrading the CPU, which one should I get?

    Currently I have a Intel Core2 Duo E6550 (2.33Ghz) overclocked to 3.4Ghz and I'm still hitting the max CPU level when running Cubase 3SX with some plug-ins and a couple of instances of EZ Drummer (I use parts from different kits). I'm thinking about upgrading the CPU to something faster and I...

    New recording, new mix, need your feedback!

    So I just bought a Presonus Eureka pre-amp / channel strip and I have it running through my Presonus Firepod. I have a song I wrote a while back and I re-recorded all the parts through the Eureka and it sounds awesome compared to the Firepod's pre-amps. I also bought IK Multimedia's T-Racks...

    KRK studio monitors, read this before buying them.

    I purchased a pair of KRK RP6 studio monitors a couple months ago, 4 months ago to be exact. About two weeks ago one of the monitors began to make hissing and crackling noises. I check the cables, I even turned it on with no input cable and at different power outlets. Same thing. So I call up...

    Achieving that tape sound with a tape recorder...

    Has anyone heard of someone using a reel to reel tape recorder with a computer DAW to achieve that tape sound a lot of people like? For example, you would finish your session in your DAW program and then you would play it and have the line outs go into the tape recorder, then playback the tape...

    Multiple audio inputs to one or two sets of monitors...

    I have a computer I use for recording and playing games and listening to music. I have a Presonus Firepod and a Creative XtremeGamer sound card. I use my KRK RP-6 monitors for mixing, recording, gaming, etc. Currently I use a small Behringer UB802 mixer to allow me to use both inputs with the...

    Is this the "correct" way that computer recording is done?

    I always record my tracks in Cubase SX3, then I put plug-in inserts on each track, sometimes add fx-busses, until everything sounds how I think it should. Then I mix everything with EQ's on each track until everything sounds as good as I can on my monitors. Then I just mixdown the whole thing to...

    Behringer B2031A and Mackie HR824 monitors...

    So the other week one of my Behringer B2031A monitors got damaged when one of the neutral lines in my house somehow shorted and sent 220V to all of my audio gear. Luckily :rolleyes: the only thing damaged was one Behringer B2031A monitor. So I took it in to a electronics repair place not far...

    New song, it's metal, it's fast, and I need opinions!

    So the band and I have finished recording our newest song, it's titled "Out of Control" and it's about racing cars / driving fast. I used Amplitube 2 to do the guitars and Toontrack EZDrummer for the drums. I mixed both the Standard and DFH drum expansions for the drum sounds. Anyway, you can...

    Aligning vocal tracks in Cubase SX...

    I'm using Cubase SX 2 and I have two vocal tracks that are basically the same vocals recorded twice. Well is there a way to align the tracks together so you can't tell as easily that it's two separate tracks? There is a program I hard about called VocAlign that does this but it only works with...
