I am recording my friends band for a demo or something of the like. I set everything up and was all set to go and started recording (this is at their house). The sound was great but long story short, I was getting an intermittent(1 second or so) digital buzz randomly. About once or twice a...

When rendering a file, is there a way in Reaper to also write the song artist and album so it comes up on media players. If not reaper, than how can I change the album title and artist so that it's permanently on the file.

A song I'm recording for my friends hardcore band. A rough mix as my ears are tired from tracking today but would still like your opinion so I can get a good start. Anything stick out to you? Thanks for listening, I'd like to make them happy :) Erockrazor...

How do you guys monitor your tracks before recording them? My headphones dont offer enough isolation when I'm standing close to a source with volume trying to position a microphone. On top of that, I dont have any sort of control room? How do you guys monitor what youre going to record? Blast...

When I see pro's mixing their work in a fancy control room, they're always doing their MIXING on the big MIXER console. I dont understand how to make my setup work like this. Is my only option to have a digital control surface that hooks into my computer using firewire or usb? I want to...

When I listen to my tracks I never feel like the vocals are where they should be. I dont have a good voice by any means but no matter what it always seems to be out of place in the mix. Like my vocals where recorded somewhere else. I want the vocals to blend with the space in the song but I'm...

How do you guys set up your PA system for band practices. I am in a two piece band, one drummer and a guitarist(me). We both sing and today we had a hard time setting up an effective monitoring system. When we thought we had it good, it would start feeding back or I couldn't hear myself singing...

New thing for me. My friend is making a short film and I haphazardly asked him if I could "compose" the score for his film. I have come up with this hunk so far. This is pretty much the trailer song. The beginning part that is quiet would be just background music I believe. I would like any...

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=8996 New band, new songs, new mixes for you guys to grunt over me posting. If you have an opinion on it ... speak up please. Eric.

Alright. I never know what to title my mp3 mixing clinic threads. Hopefully that one suffices. My friend and I have started a new band. Me on guitar and vocals and him on Drums. We try to keep it busy and we might even try to have just the two of us in the band rather than a bassist or more...

Simple question that I'm almost ashamed to ask. Does the program you're recording with have any impact on the sonic quality of the recording? I know you can change sampling rate and bit depth. With that aside, I am just curious if one program can have a better way of processing the recording...

Just starting to look into electric guitar kits. Seems pretty interesting and may be pretty fun. Curious how many people actually order those guitar kits? How many people actually like what comes out of it? How many people would do it again etc. I can only seem to find one company that really...

Hey, I recorded my friend today. 2 Guitar, Bass, and Drum set. Just wanted to see how you guys think I can improve the sound of everything. Not really looking for guide on levels in the mix but more looking for sounds. Whats lacking etc. Open for criticism and/or insults...

Singer songwriter live recordings. What do you guys do to capture a singer songwriters guitar and vocals at the same time. Using 2 mic's, one on the guitar and one on the voice (or you could get fancy and stereo the guitar). What do you do in a situation like this? How do you try to get less...

I can't seem to get my guitar intonation right. I have my action set up to my liking but when I move the saddles on my 2 Squiers, it doesn't make a noticeable difference in the intonation. I am using my boss pedal tuner to reference since my ears aren't perfect but the intonation is bad enough...

I am now in the market for a tascam 32 at a nice price of 100 dollars. I will be able to pick it up and check it out before spending my money on it. I want to know what your guidelines are for checking the product out before buying it. I would like to formulate some sort of mental checklist so...

I think I may be converted to analog. Bad timing now that analogs going out of style :confused: . I'm thinking of getting into analog by getting an 8 track recorder. I'm looking for 4 simultaneous tracks and some of that sweet tape sound. All of a sudden I've been craving to record analog. I...

Okay I have modded both of my Squier stratocasters. Yes yes , theyre squiers, woopdydoo. I put new pickups on and both of them work .... sort of. But thats not really the problem. The problem is that both of them will stop picking up signal but if I wiggle and play with the volume pot or the...

I'm happy! So I was talking to my friend the other day and he asked me what I was doing (online). I told him that I was looking at tube amps on Ebay. Coincidentally, he was getting ready to take pictures of an old amp so he could PUT it on ebay (he doesnt play guitar). His father used to play...

Quick Question. Would I be able to plug my guitar into a bass head ... without damaging either the bass amp or the guitar. Is there any mismatch of current or anything crazy like that. I don't want to try it with a risk of ruining anything. My friends giving me his dads old tube Univox 1245...
