    PreSonus Update destroyed Studio One

    Great. Clicked the update button on the main Studio One page (figured, why not), installed it, restarted computer, opened program.... and the title page is waaaay off to the right side of the screen. Unscrollable as well. The left side of the screen was all black. The interface completely bugged...

    CD Baby - thoughts?

    Thus far, I've created my artist page, started the "create an album" feature, named the album, listed the tracks, some other things, and here's the options for distribution. I've never heard of half of these, to be honest. But I am still wondering if by going through CDB, if they take portions...

    Alternative Pop Rock - Waiting

    If anyone has any critiques of the mix, I'd love to hear it. Not too much to say about it at this point, but throwing it up here for any feedback on the technical side. Thanks! https://soundcloud.com/andrushkiwt/waiting I wonder, tonight, how much can I sleep? Can I dream awhile? I think I...

    CD Baby - thoughts?

    Decided on using CD Baby for putting up an album. Songs are all set, though I might give them all a once-over and readjust some things, for continuity's sake. For any of you that have used this site, do you have any thoughts or recommendations for the process? Anything I should know, anything...

    How do you cheat?

    We learned to not mix anything in isolation - the listener doesn't hear anything that way, so mix it that way? - is the saying. But I'll admit the temptation to do so for some tasks is just TOO DAMN HIGH. :) The most frequent break of this "rule of thumb", for me, is the bass/drum kit...

    I wish I...

    ...had someone to do all my editing/prepping. Just sayin... :eek::cursing:

    Silence - alternative pop rock

    I wanted to write something with a really basic chord progression and easy vocal melody. With the harmony's and octave guitar solos, it turned out a little more complex than originally anticipated, but the drums keep it pretty straightforward and simple, I think. Something that does make it...

    The Surface - alternative

    I've used my newest mic here, the sm7b. I kept the foam that came attached on, though I left the extra thick foam that came in the box off. Next time, I think I'll try taking the original foam off as well, to brighten the vocal. I had to do quite a bit of vocal EQ here to liven the sound up...

    How-to for mixing voice and video

    Alright, I want to make a definitive thread for sharing your way of making mixing tutorials, where by your voice is added to the video of your DAW. The final product, in other words, is a video capture of your DAW, with its audio, and your own voice over it, as if explaining what you're seeing...

    Sync time between plugs and DAW

    Not the best title, sorry, but I'm having an issue with something that hasn't come up yet. here goes: I purchased an autofilter plugin (waves metafilter) and I'm encountering an issue with it. First, I should explain that the autofilter uses time sequences (1/4, 1/16 etc) to deploy its effects...

    SM7B or CloudLifter wanted

    ... Looking for both/either. Anyone have either that they are willing to part with? New for both is rather pricey... so looking to save a few pennies since tuition for classes is due this week. Let me know here or in PM. I'm in the Detroit area, fyi. Thanks!

    The Last One In The Room - alternative pop rock

    Hey yo, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this mix. "Finished" a few days ago, but spent two days or so going over master bus stuff, and fiddling with the limiting, tying to squeeze some extra db's out... but it actually come out a touch quieter than normal. I tried leaving more room on the...

    Limiter - master

    I have a feeling I already know the answer, but I'll toss it out there to see what you guys think. Maybe there's another way I haven't thought of yet. Here's the deal: Current project is about ready to go, on the mixing end. Of course, wanting to learn to do most things by myself, I'm applying...

    Waves Sale

    All EQ's $29, per miroslav 's keen eye. Already picked 2 up. Don't forget to search "waves coupon codes" through Google first. Can usually find a couple that work. It took a few more bucks off, for me.

    Superior Drummer Q

    I've recently taken a liking to using the presets for setting up my drum sound. It saves me quite some time from messing with the right combo of ambient mics, compression, reverb, etc. I'll fine tune things once I have the basic sound of the drums set up, which I find by playing the guitar...

    Eq

    Not too vested in this topic or pondering it too hard, but just thought about what you guys prefer (as I was checking out free plugs through PluginBoutique) as far as EQ's go. You like the preset freq, 3 or 4 knobs? The graphic kind, that let's you control whatever freq you want? The...

    What's This Noise?

    Is it wi-fi interference? Yes, my laptop/interface is right next to my modem and router, but I've never had an issue...till now, I suppose. I went to lay down some guitar tracks, but this static was getting on my nerves. I unplugged computer, gnx board, interface, everything really, and...

    Writing Lyrics

    As I'm stumbling with lyrics for something I want to record this afternoon, I came across a description of the same technique that I've always used. This is basically how I do it, always have and probably always will. But it's pretty cool to see it written out by others. Thought I'd share here...
