hey i need a couple more people for a song collaboration project that i am facilitating. the basic idea is to have a bunch of people record a piece built around the same guitar part, and add whatever they feel appropriate to it (there are a few more stipulations layed out in the guidelines)...

I am organizing a collaborative song-recording and mixing project. The idea is to have separate (as many as possible!) individuals record the same song their own way, and to mix everything together into one cohesive, collaborative piece. The song is already written and the sheet music notation...

What would happen were i to put a bass string in place of one of the strings on my guitar? could i rig that to work?

So I mic'ed a vocal track with one room mic and one close large diaphragm mic. My choice is between the two. The room mic covers alot of tuning issues as sound is bounced around the room but doesn't have much presence or fullness. The diaphragm has that but the tuning isssues are brought to the...

Ok, i mix in sequoia at school. my question is what level to mix at? things don't start clipping until around +6 dB but i've always heard to mix at -4dB. is this just a sequoia quirk? the reason i ask is because my mixes are always quiet in home stereos if i don't mix them to the fullest.

How much should i worry, during the mixing process, about how my mixes sound on all systems and speakers? My mixes sound good in the edit suite, but are pretty dry, unpresent, flat, whatever you want to say, on stereos. Might this have something to do with the level im mixing at? I'm mixing on...

I just got a Casio DA-R100 portable DAT recorder. It's pretty great except for one problem. I also have a stereo microphone which I want to use. When I plug it (using the 5 pin - mini stereo adaptor) to the DAT's line/mic input, i am only able to get the right channel when mic is selected. I can...

I just bought a Casio DA-R100 portable DAT for which I need a battery pack. It specifies on the back that it takes a NP-D100 NiCd Battery pack but I haven't found this anywhere. Anyone know of any ways of finding this battery?

Ok I need to have my studio fit in my car and operate without electricity. How should I do this? I have a fostex fd-8 standalone unit but would the car battery power that and a preamp if i bought a dc-ac converter? I guess my main question is am i going to be able to get the power i need from...

Anyone know of any good books regarding these topics?

Just wondering if anyone knows about the technicalities of sharing MP3's on a network. Im not talking about one like Kazaa or Napster but just a computer to computer network existing on (most likely) a college campus. Is it illegal to listen (not download) to songs of another persons computer...

Does anyone know about the legality of buying software from someone else rather than the manufacturer or licensed distributer? One could save a good amount of money buying software on ebay, but is this any different than downloading it illegally on kazaa?
