    Trash Can

    Aside from some of the stuff being a fraction of a second off time, I find it very creative and cool. Sounds like NIN. Resurrect it. Is it an instrumental or are there lyrics?

    Got a Brand new TSR-8 today

    I’m not sure how long they were made but I bought mone in 1990, so it may be 30 years old. That said, if it was still sealed in a bo, it should be in mint condition. Only the belts may have gone dry and rotted out. The motors will be fine. Good luck

    What DAW are you using?

    Always used Sonar in the past. Switched to Samplitude Pro X3 when Sonar went down. O thing but problems with Samplitude so I went back to free Cakewalk in 2019. I chose OTHER because Cakewalk is not listed.

    Question about Ludwig 13” Tom

    I recently purchased a drum set that was advertised as a 1990s Ludwig Fab Four kit. It had a second Tom Tom on it that the seller said he purchased as a mid 60s Tom. I did. It want it since I wanted what Ringo had. I am looking to sell it but am not sure what I have. The serial number is...

    Debating on selling my Tascam 388 and I'm torn...

    I sold my 488 mkII years ago. Recently, I wanted to make better mixes of the 10 tapes I filled so I had to buy one just so I could transfer all of the tracks to my computer. So, I would suggest that if you copy your multitracks to your computer for future mixing, sell it. No need to mess with...

    Used Hi-Hats for Poor People

    Why not? That is what the stores are for. Walk in. Try. Buy (or not).

    How do I get my song to sound more “real”?

    My room is 12' by 24' (basically, a rectangle). I have my desk on in the middle of the 12' wall. I am set back about 2' so that my monitors are more than 1' away. I have 3" foam behind the speakers. I don't have anything over my head other than the ceiling tile (which is a soft fiberglass). I...

    How do I get my song to sound more “real”?

    I just re-recirded the two guitars direct today instead of mic’d with a Marshall. I’ll throw up a rough mix and more of the song.

    How do I get my song to sound more “real”?

    Thanks. I can pan the guitars further but I don’t think that will fix the boominess. I will teak around and see what happens. Are we sure it is the bass and not the kick that is too boomy? I’ll adjust the bas and post. Thanks for any and all suggestions. My goal is to just get a good mix of...

    How do I get my song to sound more “real”?

    Oddly, I have two separate guitars each slightly panned left and right, around 10 and 2. Not sure why it sounds like one down the middle. I played two parts, albeit the same guitar through the same Marshall amp. Maybe they are two similar? They aren’t exact though.

    How do I get my song to sound more “real”?

    The master bus has a compressor at 2:1 and then a limiter set to 0.7 output. The rest of the tracks have minimal eq on everything and compressor on bass, snare and kick. Like I said, I have not done anything to it yet. However, in my car, it sounds bass heavy. But when I listen in my room, it...

    How do I get my song to sound more “real”?

    I wrote a song in the late 99s that I just decided to record last week. If I had to say what song it should sound similar to production-wise, it would be Hey Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms. I recorded everything one track at a time. Everything is real except the kick drum. No matter how I tweak...

    Why d$d my last thread not post?

    After I didn’t see the post the first time, I rewrote it a few hours later and sent it immediately. Makes no sense why this one made it and the other two, of which I am positive I sent one, and most likely both, did not.

    Why d$d my last thread not post?

    Of course, if you are reading this, this post actually posted. Last week, I tried to post a thread about why my mixes don’t sound like the songs I hear on albums. Included a YouTube link that had 10 seconds each of a reference track and my song so that listeners could tell me where problem...

    What guitar pedal to record direct to Audio Interface

    Thanks to everyone who responded. I will look into the suggestions. All I care about is that I can plug in direct from guitar to pedal to Audio Interface (like the old Rockman of the 1980s). I do not want to use DI boxes and Re-amps. This should not be too difficult. I do not want to use...
