    Rookie Mix - The Bitter End - folkrock/americana ala Old97's

    Hey folks, Been lurking and hopefully learning. This is a song I wrote and recorded this past week. I sure wouldn't mind a deep critique on the mixing of this tune. It seems I always struggle with getting that nice bass mix. I tend to go into the higher frequencies. I'm really wanting to...

    Do I Really Need 'Windows Media Server' ???

    No, you don't need a streaming server to stream audio. There are plenty of flash based players you can put into your web site (page) and stream your mp3 files. To stream mp3's on the cheap, use the "m3u" list protocol that points to your mp3 files. ( as an example, see...

    Good/Bad Compressor Tone

    Alright, I'm totally about the conversation here. I know squat but believe me when I say my intentions are pure in getting the best/most out of the gear I have. I've got a ton of questions but I need to formulate them. I'll just do one for now. :) I've read, re-read and about to read everything...

    Good/Bad Compressor Tone

    ...and on another note.... removing the lower 20hz freqs and not to sound too awfully ignorant, though it's easy for me to do :) , that would be done via EQ management, right? ** LC

    Good/Bad Compressor Tone

    Thanks guys! And thank you!, DeNilson. That's the detail I'm in need of. Your notes are a great help. From my original question, I should have said "over compression" rather than compression tone. I have recorded tunes where I've been told I've used too much compression or over compressed way...

    Good/Bad Compressor Tone

    I would like to learn more about compressors. I have zero knowledge of using a compressor. It seems using compressors is an art form to learn. I'm not sure this is a valid questions but if someone has the time and inclination, could I be pointed to sound files that show the difference between...

    Behringer and the hits keep coming...

    I've been home recording, rather learning the recording processes, for several years. Frankly, if it wasn't for Behringer gear, I probably would not have gone down this path. I started out with a small Behringer UB mixer. Now, I have a larger Behringer mixer, Xenxy 1222FX. I also have the...

    Upgrading audio interface question...

    I've been using the default motherboard Soundmax as well as a 2x2 USB interface. Swapping between the two. They have performed just fine for what I've done. It's now time to step up to the plate for a new more versatile audio interface. I'm a solo musician. I use a hardware mixer, outboard...

    Hookup my mixer? Help

    I would not use the RCA (CD/Tape) Main outs. Doing so effectively by passes the "Main Control" portion of the mixer. I'm using a 1222FX which is similar. If you are using the Behringer shipped USB interface... Get a pair of XLR(Female) to RCA cables. Live Wire #CPR-305 Get a matched pair of...
