1:53 of demented Raccoon metal with ZaphodB on guitar. This is miles out of my usual element, mix-wise, so I'm pretty stymied on this mix so far. My drummer, Ralph miced up the drum set but I wasn't real crazy about the mic setup. Top and bottom snare mics seem a bit much compared to one well...

Suppose for a moment you have a Dog....Bob. One day he snags the keys to your sled and heads to the mall. This is pretty much what it sounded like.... SoundClick artist: Teysha - Instrumental Southwestern Jazz with a little chaos thrown in... Did some much needed writing this weekend...

I recently bought a new computer for my home studio. Previously, I've been running a budget laptop, Win7 with surprising success. Now I have a big boy machine running 64 bit Windows 8, but I cannot get the driver for my Zoom R16 interface to install to save my life! I can see it in the Hardwre...

Finally got together with some buddies over the weekend and re-worked a tune we wrote about 6 years ago or so. Not crazy about the mix yet...bass seems a bit mudded up, and the ending is an effing disaster (WTF was I thinking?:facepalm:) I think I'm going to let a buddy lay some drum tracks...

Been awhile. A buddy of mine is recovering from a stroke. He's a guitarist and the road back has been pretty rocky. With that in mind, we got together awhile back and wrote this as a tool to get him back in the recording mode. Melodically, it's pretty simple, which is perfect for his stage in...

I got hit with a question the other day that I really didn't have an answer for. We've all used the little transformer coupled impendance matching 1/4" - XLR adapters. But, I've never used them for a condensor mic. What would the effects, be, if any, of running phantom thru one of...

I've extolled the virtues of common computers and their ability to handle most audio recording applications with little or no issues. I've been using a very cheap, HP/Compaq laptop...2.1ghz Celeron, 320gb HD @5400 rpm, and 3gb of ram + ZOOM R16 interface. Last night, I was working on a project...

Sorry. I hang out here and listen to tunes, then critique a few and it makes me want to post something up.:o I'm working on several projects right now of other folks and haven't had much time to record anything of my own, but here's a tune me and a couple of buddies laid down 4 weekends ago...

Ok, I've been kicking around an idea for years as a tribute to one of my favorite jazz artists, Pat Metheny. I listened to tons of his stuff in the 80's and 90's...owned every album, some still survive in vinyl.:D Most of my writing in the last decade has been heavily influenced by him and his...

Got a couple in the can this weekend, but I'm still working the mix on this one....bout got it where I want it. Lend me yer ears.....hopefully it's fairly well centered as well. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8559549 Thanks and let the critiques fly.:cool:

Alrighty. The last mix I posted leaned pretty much to the left. I've got a work in progress that seems to be better centered....at least I hope it is. Give it a listen and tell me if it's reasonably centered to you or not. The tune is still in the rough development stages...lots of slop in...

Got together with a couple of buddies this weekend and tried out my new Zoom r16 recorder/interface. When I entered the room, everything was in black and white and all the dudes were wearing hats...:confused: Pretty tough mix...lots of stuff happening in the 250hz range that I'm fighting with...

Yeah, I'm stuck in USB-land for the forseeable future. My lappy doesn't have a PCI card slot, so I'm stuck with USB 2.0. I'd like at least 6x4 functionality, and looking around there are a few players...MAudio Fast Track UltraR, 'bout $400 (8x8). Cakewalk's V100 (8x6 with control surface)...

.....I posted something in this forum again. Got a new toy this weekend....Roland Fantom G6 workstation.:D Went down to Abilene to do some studio work and sometimes the after hours work is the most fun. Here's a tune I threw together with a couple of buddies...

I have a question that's been niggling at the back of my mind. Is there any value now to insuring optimal mono playback? I know alot of the expanders/wideners use selective phase cancellation to create the effect and too much of it can cause things to almost dissappear when a mix is run mono...
