First new song in quite awhile. Didn't get to use my new jazz bass on this, but that'll be used in a mix soon. I'm still not sure about the lyrics in this one, and many lines were placeholders until I could think of something better ("feel good, all night", for example), but I had to go with it...

$400 even. Wanted something good for a rock mix, well-built, and plenty of tone options. Almost went with an Ibanez (can't remember which one), but this thing just felt nice. Very little hum in my DAW, and there's so much tone available with the 3 controls. I'm liking it.

Anyone know of a good EQ for analyzing anything that goes through your sound driver? If I want to see the freq spectrum for, say, a song on Youtube, I currently have no way of doing that. I'd have to download a wav or mp3 and insert it into my DAW and use plugins. Is there anything out there...

Much older song, recorded for the first time. Decided to go with acoustic since I'm liking this new setup. I'd like to hear any feedback on the mix/arrangement. thnx https://soundcloud.com/andrushkiwt/the-way-to-you-acoustic Don't let me down, I have grown to love the way you sound. The...

I have an acoustic tune that needs some percussion. I'm thinking just a shaker, or maybe there's other things I don't know about that would/might fit. I can send a file, if anyone is interested. It's acoustic, pop/rock, and just around 3 mins long. I can't find a shaker option in SD3/Rock...

Hey guys, yet another acoustic tune up for review. Not sure how many more of these acoustic's I'll be doing, but probably another couple. This one is a song by Lifehouse called "Storm". Not really a Lifehouse fan at all, but this tune is very good, in my opinion, and I thought I could put my...

I have a couple more acoustic songs in the mixing stage right now, all newer versions of older songs. This is the way this was originally written and planned, but I previously jumped right in to doing electric versions. Anyways, I'd be interested in hearing how anyone thinks this turned out. I...

As I'm browsing Sweetwater's quarterly catalog, I notice the description of a 4x12 Marshall cabinet: "if 4x12 is overkill for the studio, try out the xxx 2x12 version". Hmm. I was under the impression that 4x12's hold no advantage over 2x12 other than 2 extra speakers. Is the writer referring to...

Hey guys, I went to record vocals last week for a full version of this song but got the itch to sing and play for some reason. So, I decided on doing this one acoustically. Here's my first attempt at anything acoustic. Using a condenser, my only mic as of now. In the future, I will try sitting a...

My local guitar shop has these, used, for sale. They are the limited edition red series. $140 for the pair. Would use with Scarlett Focusrite 2i2. Still looking for first set of monitors. Thoughts on these...

Anyone notice a change in Melodyne lately? Specifically, it seems like the edits are less obvious than before. I can move vocals a bit further without it being as noticeable. I think there was an update a couple of months ago, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I received a full...

Had this one going for over a month, about time to move along from it already. Please let me know what you think of the guitars, particularly. What are their qualities and how do they sound, in general? I normally don't like writing about what my songs mean, or what I was thinking at the time...

As I sweep through my guitar tracks, looking for the harsh/piercing tones, I can truly say that there are a plethora of instances of this once I pass 1khz up to about 4khz. The most annoying/obvious seems to consistently be 2.11khz, but it barely surpasses 1.39, 1.49, 2.18, 2.42, etc... as being...

Please check the clip below and let me know what you'd do to get rid of the hum/hiss in the bass DI. Here's the flow: - wall outlet > surge protector Amazon.com: APC 8-Outlet Surge Protector 2630 Joules with USB Charger Ports, SurgeArrest (P8U2): Electronics > Micro DI Amazon.com: Mooer MDI1...

I don't see "man". While we're at it, do you know what is supposed to happen when I engage "filter feedback"? How does it work when I have the knob turned left/right? Does it mean that, when engaged, the feedback will be EQ-filtered according to where I have the lowcut? Sorry, not quite getting...

Alright, this might be the last of my redo's for awhile. I wrote this over a year ago and posted a version I wasn't ever really happy with. The drum/bass foundation, particularly in transition sections, was sloppy and poorly thought out. I've always concentrated more on the actual verse/chorus...

Hey, I've been wondering what this waveform blob has been saying about my recording/singing technique. A few times throughout a song, nowadays, I'm getting this odd shape from the waveform that makes me wonder if I could be capturing the audio better somehow. I can't say I hear anything weird...

Hey yo, does anyone here use the Tal-Dub delay vst? I have an older version, apparently, but I can't find any manual/help guide for it. The thing I'm wondering is what the very first set of knobs is for... It's a L/R link that simply says "delay" and has the time measurements to click, but there...

Well, here's about the 4th version of this I've recorded in the past 2 years. Redid everything from the bottom up. Vocals tracked in new room with adequate padding and reflection shield. Some new tips on amp sim settings too. Added a piano vst, though it sounds better in the mix than bare, I...

Hmm, can't recall I've had this issue before. I have two guitar tracks, both hard panned, one L one R, playing the same part, sent to the same bus. When played together, they sound odd, like there's some sort of sonic gap, and an empty sound from the L guitar. I put a phase meter on the master...
