Hey there. I started my studio mostly to work on my band, Ivyside's, recrodings. We have been working on tracking for quite a while. We have not started mixing anything yet. But, this weekend a band who is close to us came and ask if we could record a quick demo for them. We took the time and...

Its been a while since I have been on here. I had a few months with no method of recording. BUT I had ordered the Allen and Heath ZED R16 Firewire mixer, and built a personal PC to run my "studio". I am still getting everything up and running so I cant say how good everything is just yet. Im a...

Ok, Im young and dumb and have excepted that and so I am seeking knolege. I have learened A LOT on here already but you can't pick up on everything all at once. Attatched is a rough lay out of my recording/mixing space. I want to do some acoustic treatment, I have been told that I need bass...

I have seen a few places selling plexiglass shields/reflectors that are advertized for recording drums is less then satisfing acustic enviroments. Has anyone used them at all or have any opinions on them? My "studio" is in the a sectioned off portion in the basement of a single wide...

I have read a SHIT TON of reviews this last week or so and watched as many videos I could find on various USB and IEEE mixers. I finally settled on the Allen & Heath ZED-R16! I was going to spring for a Mackie Onyx 1640i. The reviews were just not 'top notch' enough for the price IMO. Now I am...

I was wondering how to do the "effect" that is in the first 15 seconds of this song. Its like you are listing to it on a radio or in headphones...hard to describe the effect really. I hear this alot in my genre (pop-punk) and am a fan of it. Is it something you do in the recording process or in...

I am fairly new to recording. I have been playing in bands for as far back as I can recall. My band did not have the funds to go to a studio to record so about 6 months back I picked up a Tascam portastudio DP-02 I belive, and a few Shure mics. After recording our 3 song demo I discovered I had...

I have played around with this mic as overheads on drums (borrowed) and I liked it quite a bit for doing that. There was a little bit lacking that I feel I could bring out with EQ (only had it for less then a day). Has anyone done anything else with these mics...more specifically vocals and...
