    Black Night - Deep Purple Cover

    So here's my latest song thrown together hastily where I play everything. Disclaimer, I am primarily a drummer and a keyboardist secondary, so everything else is n00bish at best. So my bass, guitar, and singing is something left to be desired....but anyway, this is about the mix, right? Check...

    Light hearted vaudeville music!

    I recorded (and played some instruments) on a new album that will be coming out later this month. Here's some samples http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1029106&content=music Granted, this is probably too late to post asking for opinions in the clinic, but I'd figured I'd...

    Soon to get UAD...first plugs I should get?

    So I bought a cheap UAD-1 card on ebay that comes with a $100 voucher (it was unopened). I'm going to try the default plugs for awhile, but I was thinking of also getting one of the high end ones as well, and then wait a bit before getting some more. Probably the most universally loved one I...

    DIY Synths (more info inside)

    I'm looking for an analog synth kit that I can purchase and build that has midi input that I can use for melodic stuff. I really like the fatman but that's more of a bass instrument and the sawtooth only generator does limit its appeal...I will get one of those down the road. However, for now...

    BMI or ASCAP?

    My 1000 CD run at Disc Makers just began production today, and they sent me an e-mail with a bunch of "since you're one of our customers, save 35% when you order this from this company" and la de da. One of the things in this e-mail was a reminder to sign up to BMI. This is something I never...

    CD Architect CD-R will not run on my DVD player?

    So my old Samsung DVD player from 2001 has never played CD-R's. After many years and learning about the Redbook standard, I figured that was the reason; it would only play Red Book CD's. I recently burned a CD with Sony CD Architect (trial version) and it still wouldn't run on that DVD player...

    Off the Spring - Movement 1

    Well, here it is folks, more or less the final mix of the first movement of my album. I may still tweak it a bit in the next week or two, but I plan to ship the master to Discmakers on the 13th. I did some master EQ, high-passing at 30 hz and doing a small high shelf at 11k for a little bit of...

    Not another "Mix my tracks for me lOL"

    So, I'm done tracking my album. For the next week I'll be doing final mixing. However, I would like if I could have another set of ears or two to critically listen to the tracks and tell me any issues they have. I'll take a look at the issues, see if they are something I agree with (if...

    Copyrighting - Some issues

    Okay, I have some questions about copyrighting CD's, since Google isn't very helpful. So I copyright a CD. Pay $35 to the US Copyright office, send it in, la de da. I have to send them the CD though. Which means, how can I print a copyright on the CD if its not even copyrighted yet? Do I do...

    Ways to get cool netherworldly vocal effects

    So in my album I have a 'ghost' character that sings. Obviously I want the voice to be highly processed. I know the best way is to just experiment with different effects, and I plan on doing that (reverse reverb, etc.). I'm just curious what other people have done or might do if they were in...

    Lots of 2khz-5khz...some hints?

    So I have found between my lead guitar and the organ, I get a lot of build-up in the "presence" region, generally between 2k-4/5k. I don't know this if this is normal. I did some spectral analysis of some other songs, and while many songs do tend to have a bump in this region, I don't know...

    Question on reverb and panning automation

    So I am using a reverb (Glaceverb to be exact) on a send to a stereo VSTi. I want to pan the track rapidally; basically, every note I want it going back and forth in the stereo field. My question is that the reverb trail, will it stay where the note was played, or if it pans to the other side...

    If I had to upgrade either RAM or CPU right now...

    So I think my recording PC may need an upgrade pretty soon. I built it in Spring 07, and it wasn't even top of the line, but it was built with upgradability in mind. I am starting to hit some playback errors in my project files, especially when there's two VSTi's running and lots of tracks...

    Progressive Rock - First song on Rock Opera!

    I've posted this song several times in earlier incarnations, but I think the last time I posted in the clinic was without the piano and lead guitar....vocals still need to be done, but otherwise this is the happiest I've been. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7317897

    "Bitch's Paradox"

    Don't think I've posted in this forum before....anyway, I'm a promiscuous songwriter. I wrote music out for a song yesterday, needed lyrics today, decided to write about a breakup I had awhile ago, since I hadn't written a song about that event. Anyway, I know some people don't like using the...

    New to DIY, building 12" PA cab

    So I've always wanted to get into DIY audio stuff, and I figured a speaker cab would be a basic enough device for me to start with (my dad can help me with building the wood cabinet so I'm already a leg up on things). I have a poweramp that's 800w total between two speakers. Basically I...

    6th Movement of Rock Opera, in here

    So I have never recorded an acoustic guitarist before, so it was definitely an interesting experience. To celebrate, I want to show you guys this mix I have so far. Couple of things that are bugging me: 1: Drums seem stuffy, I don't know how to put it, but its almost like mud without being...

    Possibly really stupid question about cables

    So my guitarist leaves his amp at my place, and he said that its okay I can use it. However he takes all his gear with him, so all I have is the head and the cab. Its a 16 ohm input into the speaker. Do I need a 16 ohm cable for this, or can I just use a regular speaker cable (which I have)...
