This is a little off center, but please help. I am going straight out of my mind (a short trip, believe me!) trying to find the lyrics and/or chords for an old Oak Ridge Boys tune called "beautiful you", because my mom wants me to record it for her. I have been all over Yahoo and google, with no...

I am in Sasebo, Japan. Compare this to being in the outback in Australia. There is nothing here (it's a sprawling city, but even the Japanese consider it "country"). I had just started getting in to home recording, so I went in search of a cheap mic. Found one. In an electronics store. It's an...

I drew up a quick plan for my studio, and before I get much further along, I want to post it here for advice. I am not sure about placement for bass traps and things like that. Or what size they should be. It's going to have a 10-foot ceiling, and the rest of the dimensions are on the drawing...

I was doing some research and came across this site. It sounds good, but it's kind of pricey. I know that doing it right isn't cheap, but what are your thoughts on going this route? Thanks! http://www.asc-soundproof.com/pricing.htm

I posted my song "Leona" awhile back. Anybody that has been on my threads knows the background, but for those who don't, it about my grandmother's death. I received a lot of good, positive feedback on the song itself, and surprisingly, good vibes on the mix :eek: . The most common feedback I...

I am thinking about getting a vocal processor, and I was looking at a couple of them, and I need some feedback. Has anyone used these things? They are supposed to have really good mic pre's in them, yada yada... And there are a couple that advertise vocal harmony (I know... :eek: ) So do I waste...

I hear lots of folks downing Zoom pedals for recording, and I even echoed it, but I had to try it anyway. I was messing around with my 405 acoustic pedal, and found a really sweet tone running my guitar with a sound hole pickup, so I figured I'd record it. :eek: MAN DID IT EVER SOUND LIKE ASS...

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/1/krystalcobramusic.htm I wrote a song that was a straight instrumental as a way to deal with my grandmother's death in 1997. I recently recorded it put it on this site. Many of the members who looked at it (it's not a GREAT mixing job, it's only DECENT, and I...

Kidding! :eek: So anyway, $300.00 just fell into my lap. Any one who has seem my pathetic posts knows I don't have shit for gear. I want to get something to improve upon what I do have. I don't want to buy a mic right now, but what should I get? I looked at the Yamaha mg10. What do you think...

I finally got around to posting my songs. There are two of them on the site that I want you to look at. The first is called "Leona", and it's a finished product. It's the song I wrote about my Grandmother when she died. I am looking for feedback on the mix. The second one is also just...

Can someone tell me where I can post an mp3 for you guys to shred for me? I am looking at getting advice about mixing, etc. I want to know what sites I can post to that aren't going to charge me for having the music there. Thanks! :D

I've read a lot of the threads on here, but I don't quite see what I am looking for. Most people I see on here are converting an existing space to build a studio, but I want to put up a building. What I am wondering is how much room should I alot for? I know that I will want a separate control...

On the home recording main page, Dragon lists a web page with a program to test how many tracks my pc can handle. I clicked on it, and it's a dead link. Anyone know where I can find this program? Thanks! ;)

I have only a low grade drum machine (Yamaha DD-55), and a Yamaha keyboard with built in drums. I don't have access to a real kit, or a drummer to play it. I see all the advice here is geared toward real drum kits and drum mic placements, but how can I get a drum machine to sound that good...

(Standing on a soap box, here) I would just like to say that I have only been here on this forum for a short time, about 2 weeks. I came in a newbie to recording, and I still am.... :rolleyes: But the help I have been given in the short time I was tugging at your collective sleeves has been a...

I figured you may have played with this before, and I need some help. I have some home movies recorded on compact vhs, and I want to transfer them to my pc and lay a soundtrack to them. I have Sony Vegas 5.0, and that's exactly what it is for. I also have a audio/video capture device, and that's...

Eye catching title, but I mean posting lyrics for all to see. I wrote a song to my daughter when she was born, and I've been picking it up every now and then to play around with it. I'm not much of a lyric writer, and I tend to do stuff that is mostly instrumental, but a bug bit me that day, and...

Of all the top notch practicing musicians out there, who would you most want to go into the studio with and why. Keep in mind that I am American, so if you name someone from England or Oz that is only popular there, I will most likely not know them, but hey, to hell with it, put 'em in there...

I've seen this posted before, but I can't find the thread... I have been having a problem lately with my hand cramping up while I'm playing. I warm up before I get started, and I know it's a techinique problem, I just don't know how to solve it. Is there a certain thing I need to do to overcome...

This is my second thread, and while I know the title sounds like it belongs under a different post, bear with me, because it is a newbie question. This is going to be a bit long-winded, so please indulge me. I have been playing bass and guitar for more than 20 years, and have dabbled with drums...
