Hi. I just moved to a new flat and this the only place I have to set up my computer. Because it's sort of a corner it's a terrible place to put the monitors. You can see I made some acoustic treatment panels from some Rockwool RW3 but it still doesn't sound very good. Also my speaker stands are...

Will this Earthwool pack work for the acoustic panels I plan to build? insulation4less.co.uk Earthwool 140mm Flexible Insulation Slab insulation4less.co.uk Are there any alternative products you can suggest in the UK?

Hey folks. I have been asked to record someone playing a steel tongue drum or "Idiopan" (see the video link below). What would be the best way to go about it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXub0xmaTwg

Don't Laugh

Hey since I'm just starting out in recording, I thought it would be a good idea to get myself a portable multitrack (Zoom R16) and see if I can find some local bands to record for practice. My idea is to record in local rehearsal rooms since I don't have my own space or access to a studio. So I...

I want to build up some recording and mixing experience but I don't have a studio and my home is unsuitable. My idea is to take my four channel interface, laptop and mics to record some local bands perhaps hiring a practice room. I plan to do it for free. Do you think it's a reasonable idea or a...

I know you can record onto say tracks 1, 2, and 3, and then bounce those tracks onto track four whilst also playing into track four. Then there are 3 tracks left. So that's 7 in total. And you could keep on going. I also heard you can record on all 4 tracks and then record all those tracks onto...

Hi. I would be so grateful if you could give me some feedback on a cover i did of a Brian Jonestown Massacre song called "(David Bowie I Love You) Since I Was Six". Its not so much of a cover as reproduction of the song I did as an exercise to improve my production skills. Its the first time...
