What is it? I don't wanna sound like a newb, but I just downloaded Reaper to try it out and noticed it was off. I don't know what it is, so I don't know if I want to turn it on. Somebody help out a dumbass? :D

This is sort of a cross-post, but not really. Awhile back I posted a thread similar to this in title in the guitar forum. My first recordings were pretty much like a schoolboy getting his first piece, hit and miss, sometimes you scored. Anyhow........ I have copies of my first analog trials...

Mixcraft website Anyone ever used this? I wanna get something new because the copy of Sony Vegas that I have is second hand and I can't register it and upgrade it. Sooooooo, I was thinking about this. From the site: "Mixcraft™ 2.5 allows you to record and mix music like the best producers and...

This is going to take a bit to get to the point, but I promise, there is one... When I first started to record, of course I had no idea about proper tracking, levels or anything else. I didn't know about the no no's of DI guitar, nothing. I had a Tascam MF-P01 4-track cassette recorder. One...

How does sampling work? I hear different things in various hip hop songs. I notice that any guitar, vocal, whatever is added in without the rest of the surrounding tracks. It leads me to believe that there is either a machine out there that will pick out and sample the desired track, or the...

Someone kick me, but keep getting this confused in my head! I keep seeing threads where people are asking how to get their mix loud, and the standard responses always leave out the fact that consumer gear is rated at a different dB level than so-called pro gear. My problem is that I can't for...

... on my bass is acting up. I plug in my patch chord and have to wiggle it around to make contact and be able to play. The result is a horrendous noise (snap, crackle, pop...) when I do this, and it usually happens when I don't want it to (like during church when the pastor is praying :o )...

I bought a Peavey Tracer back in 1988. It's a sweet playing guitar, but it has a locking tremolo system on it, and that's where the problem lies. I had to put it in storage for about 6 years... :eek: and when I finally got home and was going to do some maintenance and get her playing again, I...

I posted an older, not-so-polished version of this song about a year ago. I have since been able to finish it and make it the way it sounded in my head. There were several problems with it that I was able to, I think, fix. One, the drums didn't quite fit, and two, the vocals were not stellar...

If you are tracking in 16-bit, then rendering to CD, is it necessary to add dithering to your tracks (if I am mixing ITB, all digital)? Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't dithering just adding noise to your tracks when you are rendering down to a smaller bit rate to cancel out noticeable...

They asked me to step in an set up the board for them to sound better at my church. The instrument setup is 2 acoustic guitars, one electric guitar, bass, mic'd drum kit (no mics on the toms, but 2 overheads :confused: ), and an electric keyboard. They were running everything mono, and were...

... in a pawn shop. I took down the serial number and the model and ran a check on the Fender site for it. Turns out it was produced somewhere between '82 and '88. It's a lefty and retailed for $265. The pawn shop had it on sale for $399. Should I go back and tell the guy that I found it on...

... for quite awhile... Many thanks to Purge for his awesome fretboard flash, and to BentRabbit for laying down the beat. I will probably not be around to see the critiques, so you don't have to give me any... I'd be happy if you just listened to it...

I am remixing and old song that I did, and I have everything well balanced, but during playback on the second time the chorus comes in, I get a single spike that goes to .3dB, the rest of the song is perfectly level. How do I find the track that is causing it, and once I do, how do I fix it...

Submitted for those involved in the last Guitar Rumble, here is another track to play with. One minute long, simple guitar/bass/drum machine: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/63105_rokket_a_minor_thing.mp3 I am working on a bass track for dogman. Once that's done, I'll post it and we can do...

OK, I just got a Western digital 120GB external harddrive! I am curious as to how I go about moving my recording software (Sony Vegas 5.0) and all my music folders to this drive? I am a newbie at computers, so bear with the stupid question. It's already FAT32, and installed and ready to go...

My ESP 5 string bass is starting to act funny. Well that's a bad word because it's not funny at all when it happens. Every once in awhile, I will plug in, and it crackles, or there is no sound at all until I jiggle the damn patch chord, and you know the sound that makes. Sometimes it will go...

I was going through some old files and found one of the first songs I recorded when I first got serious about home recording. All I had was a Tascam MF-P01, (a 4-track cassette recorder) and the AT Pro 100 mic I have now. I recorded everything on the Tascam, bounced to a boom box, and recorded...

Back when I was doing the collab "Done With You" with Scrubs, Purge, BentRabbit and Oncor, my friend (who had access to my soundclick page) was simultaneously writing a song for it while he was off the coast of Iraq. We have been working on it ever since he got back in April. I used the same...

I'm going to test drive one of these bad boys this weekend. Anyone use one and can tell me if it's worth the price to get a great bass tone for recording? Currently, I either DI my bass into my mixer or sometimes put a Zoom bass processor in the chain which is noisy. This is the one I was...
