Alright, I've had it with my choice of mic stand. The first one I bought was the Guitar Center brand, and it was absolutely terrible. Fell apart within two weeks. The second has lasted my a year, but recently the twisting clamp that holds the stand at proper height became undone and I cannot get...

Here's an old song completely redone. All new instruments and tracking, vocals too. I've been messing with the guitar sims' top end, making deep cuts where things get spikey, and attempting to control the bass' low end as well. I'm doing vocals in a new room now...a walk-in closet with blankets...

I went to download a "free" video editor only to find that if I wanted to save the file as anything other than a project file (specific to the program), I had to pay. So, does anyone know of a truly free, fully functional, video creator/editor? I simply want to add a wav file, then apply lyrics...

From the latest track I've posted, here are is the guitar work. There's nothing crazy about it, I just select either the MB Dual Rec, Orange Rockerverb, or Soldano amp heads and then use 2 cabinets (called Modern 1 and Modern 2), mic them with a 57 and FET two inches from the cone, and use the...

Arghhh, I'm having a brain fart moment and have had enough of tinkering with settings and knobs for a bit. I figured I'd just ask you guys here real quick. I am having trouble getting the delay effect I want for the song I'm currently working on. What I need is ... the delayed section of the...

Here is the mix I am going with for now. I took some comments into account and touched up a few things. I will probably give it a once-over before I submit the raw mix for mastering, eventually. Please let me know how it turned out, if ya can. Thanks everyone...

I came across this tonight while checking out some mixing videos on YouTube. I thought I'd share it with you guys to get your opinions. Comparing The Andy Wallace & Butch Vig Mixes Of Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit - YouTube This is a side by side comparison of the original SLTS mix, by...

I've decided to try and compile an album on my own. I could use some ears on the first three tracks. These are somewhat "mastered" as I have bus compression, limiting, and EQ on there. To be honest, all of my tracks have had those things, these are just tweaked more precisely and attentively...

So, thanks to Miro's link in the vst thread, I picked up Waves LA-2A and 1176 Black/Bluey compressors for under $80 total on a huge sale. Great deal, especially since I wanted to try them out for vocals and drums. I'm liking the la-2a after the 1176 on vocals since the la-2a's attack/release...

...but since I don't consider myself a bass player, by default, most things regarding the instrument are new to me. But, I must say, replacing my old strings with Dean Markley's Blue Steel brought a whole new sound to the game. Wow, these strings sound great. Such a round, fat sound in the lows...

Excited to use this new laptop for music. Replaced the old HP Notebook with this today: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-510-15ikb-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i7-12gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-940mx-256gb-solid-state-drive-silver/5623586.p?skuId=5623586 The major reason for the upgrade was more...

This is probably the 3rd time I've recorded and mixed this tune. I really want a decent mix of it, so I gave it another shot. I kept the previous version's vocals and redid everything else, including the drums which, yes, I had MIDI access to this time. New things about this mix: - kept...

I've lost (deleted) the MIDI files for many of my song's drumming parts. I'm wondering if I'm able to recover them, basically, by approaching this backwards. We know you can bounce the MIDI tracks out your DAW and have access to the wav's of each track. We also know you can use an out source...

For those of you using a second compressor on things like a vocal bus, bass, or master channel, what is driving your decision to use it in the first place? Is it typically a slower reacting compressor, with less drastic reduction that's only there to smooth out the long-term gain, while the...

That's about all there is to it...no anecdotes or anything. Just - what is your favorite, can't do without, it must go in, it will be used, i can't leave it behind, plugin? Thus far, it has been my DC1A compressor. I use it on the drum bus, vocal bus, and have tried it on the master bus for...

I just downloaded the Rea package for other hosts. I'm running Studio One 2 Pro. Nice to finally pick this up, and especially cool they made a 64 bit package. I like the EQ, but wish I could zoom in a little further on the graphic. But I made this post for the compressor - is there a way to...

...imagine this when I heard loud guitars/rock music: Now, I imagine this:

Hello, I'd like to get some feedback on this mix, please. I didn't realize until a couple of days ago that it kinda sounds like "Amanda Lynn" and not necessarily "a mandolin". :) oops. Hopefully people will read the lyrics. Especially the gf. Experimented with a delay on the verse guitars, and...

This isn't anything really pertinent other than my own interest being piqued here. I have always wondered exactly how a record player captures and produces the sound in the grooves of the vinyl. Of course, I have watched dozens of videos and read plenty of articles, but there is one aspect that...

Alt-Rock EZX | Toontrack Haven't listened to the samples yet, but this sounds promising. Need to check it out later. I also saw two other new expansions...Dream Pop and Big Drums. Will an EZX work with Superior? What's the difference as far as the expansions?
