I have some wires crossed in ezdrummer or reaper? It seems as though my kick drum is somehow coming through the main channel that ezdrummer in inserted on. I know that in all my other previous projects the volume fader on the main instrument channel that ezdrummer runs off of doesn't affect any...

Not sure if this encroaches on peoples safety zone, but i think i'll ask anyways. :facepalm: What's your typical work flow? I seem to be struggling with finding a system and sticking to it. I find i can't just pick a starting point and work my way to the finish point. But there has to be a...

Not really a question just merely an observation to other semi newbs. Keep your strings fresh! It makes one hell of a difference in a guitar track! I wanted to double up a guitar part on a song i had started months ago and i changed the strings before i started tracking. What a difference in...

Question for all of you. I have some vocals with some pretty extreme high db's and low db's. I am just starting to get familiar with how compression works and stuff. I have been also reading a bit on using volume envelopes. I am wondering if i am wasting my time or doubling my efforts by...

Hello HR.com I haven't been around much. Life is hectic, planning a wedding (June 15th, my nerves my nerves my nerves) and things picking up in the north with the day job, doesn't leave much time for working on all this good stuff. Anyhoo, Here is a song i recorded for with my brother and...

Heyo Forum Folks! I recently checked out a tutorial online that suggested i normalize vocal tracks before i do any kind of processing? Is this common? What does normalizing do? IS it affecting my dynamics at all ?

I know this isn't the place for software questions and i am not asking the question that dares not be asked re: "that type of software request" I am wondering if any of you astute plectrum warriors knows where i can get the trial for Guitar Rig 4? Naturally i should be getting version 5 (more...

Good Day All! I am thinking of doing a bit of room treatment in my little setup. It is just an apartment bedroom. I have read a lot online and watched a few videos and I think I kind of get the jist of what's available and what most people are using. What I'd like to know from other...

Here are my tools. I have a SM57, an Apex 530 some Samson R11's and an acoustic with pickups. My room is about 10 x 10 not a lot of treatment and sadly metal closet sliding doors on one side and on the opposite side i have some pretty big windows that go to the outside. (For anyone that cares...

Ok so here is the deal. I don't really have a tremendous amount of experience recording vocals. What little i do have i have usually spent a lot of time getting the best possible input signal as i can. One project that just came up on the weekend was a last minute idea and i really only have one...

Good-day All. I have a very odd problem happening. As the subject states, i have an Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ a Tune-o-matic saddle bridge. I put new strings on it and began to intonate as usual. But not as usual, some of the saddles do not seem to be doing their jobs? Here is the totaly...

Hello Fellow Home Recorders. This is, so to speak my first collaboration effort. I found this guy on the interweb and i really really dug his sound and style, it is a little different than my usual tastes but there was just something about it i could really get into. It had no bass or...

Hello All. I am wondering if there is some setting somewhere within Reaper that can be toggled so one can see the changes to the wave form after an effect has been applied. I believe that when i was experimenting with DAW's, Nuendo did something like that. May have also been Sonar? For sure it...

Do you just say "screw this" and stop mucking with stuff, tones, mixes, and put yourself out there. I have stuff i continually keep going back on to thinking i can make the guitars sound better, those drums need less fills and more whatever, or messing around with mixing techniques and...

Happy New year all. Was a much busier holiday than i thought and i didn't do anything recording. Just now getting back into it. :( I was playing around with some ezdrummer today and came upon putting some compression and a wee tad of reverb on the Plugins main track at a final mix down phase...

I have an issue with some clicks and pops that seem to be in the recorded sound file? I am using Reaper, and when I zoom in on the wave to see if i can manipulate the offending click/pop there is nothing there? Or appears to be nothing there. Sometimes with Reaper if you move the time bar...

O.K. I did your clap test and the reverb dropped off pretty quickly. It wasn't at all like a loud hall or church. Best describe it was maybe two or three really fast reflections and that was it. Whatever that tells you? I am fairly sure i will try out both areas and see what sounds best. I...

I have a very large empty space at my disposal. Like, were talking probably 3000 sq feet of empty commercial space over top of my new office space. I currently can't do vocals where i live because it is an apartment building and i don't think this is place for that. I have an SM57 and all my...

I ah, got this friend, and uh, he may have spilled a glass of A&W Root Beer in is workspace, and um, he told me he thinks some got down inside his venting holes on top of his GK Bass Head. He, uh, doesn't have the, um internet yea, he doesn't have the internet, so he, asked me to post this up...

Hey all. I see there is a sticky about humidity and what not but i think i need to get some advice from people in the same climate as myself. Is there anyone here that can give me a few tips on keeping my guitars in top notch shape in the Canadian Prairies (-or american obviously-)?? I am in...
