sorry I'm posting this here, I'm not shure where else to post this.... anyways there a song I heard on the radio that goes something like this: (chorous) here we are, we are face to face (bla bla) (-something that rhymes with here we are)(something that rhymes with face to face) and then it...

I wrote these lyrics just now, it might just be that I'm tired, but, I like the story.. I just don't like the way I worded it. it's suppose to be about this kid who writes "the best song in the world" but since he's such a bad singer it gets passed off as garbage.. here : his name was some one...

I'm sure I've read threads on this before, but I can't find any right now.. So I'll start a new thread. I'm a novice recording engineer (In my opinion). I've been recording my band for several years, but I would like to record other bands as well, but recently I was thinking.. There are a lot...

what are the names to the diffrent parts of recording? this is what I "think" there called.. am I correct? or am I mistaken? setting up mics = engineering setting levels on all the tracks adding EQ/compression, ect = Tracking final brush-up/exporting = mastering keeping an eye out over the...

what amp or pedal has the same distortion type as the Quadrafuzz in cubase SX? (more specifically the Guitar preset, it's got a nice clean crisp crunch I LOVE!) any sugestions would be awsome, Thanks!

well I was just kinda looking at the Rock band thing... and I got an Idea. hook up pizzo triggers to the bottom of all my toms and symbals, hook it up to my computer, program a "game" that takes a midi drumfile (lets say from guitar pro) and instead of hitting fake triggers to let sound out of...

I had a pretty nice mixing desk back at my parent's place, but now I have moved, and I couldn't take it with me, so I'm building a new one, better than before! here is my design (it's not to scale, but it's a good reference for me): (for some sort of reason is scaled down my picture... sorry...

ok, since I don't have headphones, I just used speakers to play drums to a refrence track, how can I "phase change" out the reference track from the drum tracks? thanks :)

hey, I'm starting to build a guitar (well, I just got the wood) purpleheart neck (neck thru body) with white ash body wings. I was thinking nitro finish, becouse thats what everybody seems to like, plus purple heart is pretty heard so it dosn't really need a thick finish, (but the ask is gonna...

ok, I'm in the mood to play some music, so. if someone gives me a topic. I will write a song about it from scratch. for my ejoyment, and your amusement, becouse I'll have it up asap (within 10mins-1 hour.. depending on how much efort and creative flow...)

ok, this has nothing to do with me bieng violent with the guitar or overtuned strings, just the screws seemed to have been too short... anyway's, how would I fix this?: a closer shot and (sorry for blurry picture) you should see that some of the wood is chipped out aswell. any sugestions...

is it ok to paint the rims of your drum kit? in other words, I'm thinking about puting a decent layer of epoxy paint (to prevent it chipping to fast) would that change the tone of the kit significantly?

yeas this is kinda one of those questions where I have little knowledge of what Im talking about... ok here we go. I would like to build a subwoofer, diy websites tell me that closed/air tight enclosures are best, but how come most of the subwoofer enclosures you see have a sound hole? and...

http://www.studiotips.com/absorb1.html based of that chart, it sais that an adult human has some pretty impressive obsorption capabilaties. and instead of slaughtering off a few school mates, and hooking them up int the corners with meat hooks.. I was thinking, since our body's are something...

I supose this question has been asked a hundred times b4... but is there any mic that catches the sound, pretty much eggsactly the way it's produced, that upon playback, it sounds like your listening to the instoment before bieng recorded. is there such a thing? sorry if this question sounds...
