Hey all, I'm looking for some real / live brass sample packs. Free or paid for. E.g. trumpet solos or sax solos. If anyone can point me the right direction I'd be really grateful :) Thanks!

Great, could you send a link?

I actually don't have an SM57. I keep forgetting to get one. Obviously I know how popular they are. Maybe that's the best cheaper option? I love the look of the Neumann 102, I've been recommended. I presume there's a big difference between that and an SM57?

Hey, I've got two clients coming up soon who will have a low vocal range. I also had a client earlier in the year with a low vocal range and used a Rode NT2A. Only when I was mixing did I realise how it has a really poor frequency response for the lows and low mids. Excellent for female voices...

Thanks for this TimOD, really helpful :)

Oh wow, that's completely different to anything I've tried. Do you have any examples online of songs you've worked on with that chain?

I've been mastering a song for a client for most of today. And one thing has continually taken me back to the mixing session: the vocals being too loud on certain words which causes pumping when put in the mastering chain. I've messed around with different compressor settings to tame it, I've...

haha - good point Alan. Thanks for your help everyone :)

Thanks for your responses keith and folkcafe. Keith, I think you're right. I do think that these acoustic blankets are quite pricey for what they are, this is why I'm hesitant to rush out and buy. Folkcafe - my main aim is to cut out room reflections. My studio is actually the end of large...

Hey all, I've no doubt there's been countless messages over the years about this kind of question. So I'm sorry to create another one. Basically, I'm designing a vocal booth, or more of a closet, within my studio. On a budget otherwise I'd build a whole new room! I know it's not ideal, but once...

Apologies already for the the really messy room - I hope you can make out the studio and space from the photos! It's half a children's playroom (obviously when I'm not recording!) and half a recording studio. Hardly ideal space but I'm going to give it a makeover, put in lots of acoustic...

Hi guys, I'd appreciate some advice. I am thinking about building a vocal booth from scratch using the same materials and technique that this guy uses: STEP-BY-STEP DIY SOUND BOOTH ON A BUDGET (Cost & Demo) - YouTube I will be adding acoustic treatment to my room but even so I am thinking this...

I'm recording a song in Cubase and I am using several audio files of news bulletins. I was playing around with one to add delay at the end of the clip. I was using the write automation to try and manually write in when the delay began. In the end I wasn't happy with the delay and deleted the...

Hi all, I've recently downloaded and installed Cubase Artist. I was keenly following an introductory tutorial looked at all the loops and sample packs in the media section I don't have any of those. Where are they? Or are they not available for the Artist package? Any help would be really...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and in need of some advice. I have recently purchased Cubase 10 and I have two keyboards with MIDI 5-pin IN and OUT ports. I have a MIDI to USB cable - which I can connect from one keyboard to the Computer and having set everything up I still cannot produce any...
