    Biden's "Soul Of America" Prime Time Speech

    I don’t usually talk about politics in a group like this but Biden is beyond gone. All of his talk to unite us has resulting in him calling anyone who likes Trump a terrorist. He has nothing but the worst record of any president ever. He destroyed the borders, our energy independence...

    Can Somebody Strip out the Hendrix Lead Guitar?

    I’m confused. Hendrix had absolutely nothing to do with Whole Lotta Love. What Hendrix song are you talking about?

    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...

    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?

    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

    I currently record my guitar direct through a Steinberg UR44C interface. I have used a Line 6 Plus pedal board plugged in directly but I do not need anything as elaborate as this. I just want a single pedal that I could use to give my guitar a good Distortion sound when needed. I bought a BOSS...

    How to use wav samples in a DAW?

    I use Calewalk and Samplitude Pro X3. There are some songs i want to record using tne Alesis SR16 samples without hooking it up physically. How would i trigger these drum hits? Pasting each sound on the timeline grid seems wuite imoractical to me. How would i truggervthe sounds via my midi...

    Why can’t I replicate the sound of commercial recordings?

    I have a good setup. I7; 32 go ram, all sad drives. I was using Samplitude Pro X 3 but am moving slowly back to Cakewalk. I am at a point in life that I want to re-record many of my songs from the 80s and 90s simply because they all sound so rough because of my limitations of the time. One...

    Rap Me

    I asked a question the other day for advice on how to make my songs sound more "real" during mixing. I was reluctant to post it because the song is basically a goof and I wouldn't want this song to represent my normal style. I was assured that I wouldn't be mocked as far as the song is concerned...

    My songs never sound right

    I have been recording since I got my Fostex X15 back in 1984, I used to just record, sometimes bounce and mix out to a cassette tape. Always sounded a bit crappy (especially to my 2018 ears) but I blamed it on the technology of the time. Fast forward to now and I decided to re-record an old song...

    Recording audio

    I was able to record audio from an external synth through my Focusrite Audio interface. I inserted an Audio track and chose the Focusrite. All good. The problem is when I add another audio track that will be used for another instrument, there is no sound coming in. That makes no sense. The track...

    Metronome is off beat

    I am really confused and never had this issue before. I am running Sonar Platinum with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. At the most basic level, I am having a problem. As a test, I create a new project in 4/4 time and enable the metronome. I then play a vsti simple 1/4 notes for one measure, right...
