Hi all, I have been recording music for about 15 years now, but primarily as a piano player and singer. I’ve finally decided to learn another instrument and I bought an acoustic kit a couple weeks ago. As it turns out, after 20+ years of piano (and being cross dominent in both hands and feet)...

Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade my 2006 Fostex PM0.4 monitors. My room is only 8 x 8 ft right now. I expect to be in this small room for at least the next 3-4 years so I'm thinking I'm still going to want something relatively small (5" speakers?). What are your opinions on the HS5's vs the G4...

I have a pair of Fostex pm0.4 speakers (the originals not the pm0.4n) that I have owned for roughly 13 years. These are the only studio monitors I have ever owned and I have recorded and mixed hundreds of projects on them. I'm 26 now and guys I finally have some money in the bank. Lots of...

A couple weeks ago I wrote a song and someone here mentioned it reminded them of Let My Love Open the Door by The Townshend. I hadn't heard it before, so in customary fashion, I covered it. My question to you guys is, on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate this mix? Please be brutally honest. I...

Lately I have been trying to define my sound. Inspirations are Jon Bellion, Lauv and Chvrches. Would really appreciate any feedback on: - This sound - My vocals - The mix in general Thank you! Dropbox - Nine to Five (Final Mix).mp3 - Simplify your life

I'm working on an EP to hopefully be able to pass out to various parties in the near future. Right now I just have the soundcloud. Here's my covers and originals playlist (: https://soundcloud.com/alexcolewashere/sets/from-the-in-october-ep https://soundcloud.com/alexcolewashere/sets/covers

Decided to do an Africa cover for fun (: Also I was wondering if you guys think that my mixing abilities based on this are good enough to help out in the "Mix This" section. I always feel like I'm getting to the point where I can help others and then someone comes along and really puts me in my...

I did at one time use Vegas but it seemed like such a ballsy program for little projects like this. Despite having a high spec desktop running it, the preview screen often fell out of sync and the export times were ridiculous. I will research to see if it has this function but hopefully there...

Hello. So recently I started doing full covers with multiple instruments. Below is an example of something I did with the older brother a few weeks ago. It came out nice, but I really want to avoid the time-consuming process I used to create this for future videos. Basically I imported each...

I can't sing that high, and my teacher even tells me I'm a bass. But I really don't want to be that. So I've been experimenting with my head voice a bit. Opinions? Any tips from pro singers out there? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99900682/Jenny3.mp3

Really? Nothing? This is the second song I've posted with no responses >_<

I'm still a noob at this. Opinions of my voice? I like to think I'm a singer but I still have to do a lot of touching up and retakes :rolleyes:

Worst case scenario then, you could always go over to the left of the track and choose to "split to mono". Then duplicate that track, and pan 1 hard right, and the other hard left, and make the second track a split second after the first. That'll make it a stereo track.

I think it's always good to have a couple friends or co-workers take a look at it but you don't necessarily have to have people at a studio master it. My brother and I occassional pass masters back and forth from our studios and get fresh ears/speakers to listen. As a matter of a fact, I often...

I've noticed that my vibrato sometimes really relys on singing loudly. I don't know if anyone else experiences this or if it's just a problem I have. I also have to really soften my voice to hit those overhead notes (or at least try >_<). I haven't noticed it hurting my voice at all, and i've...
