Drums - First Attempt
Hey guys.
I was just messing around with these crappy "Mark II" drums I got wen I was about 6 years old. 10 years later I bring them up to my room (studio, if you will) and decide to mic em up. I don't have an interface, so I just mixed the mics as best I could on my...
Hey guys.
I have a bit of a problem. I don't like when I'm trying to punch in a part in reaper and it mutes the sounds behind wherever I'm recording, and it adds a new take. Is there any way I can set it so that it just layers the audio on top of the original take. I hate having to right...
Hey guys.
I was browsing around on the web and was trying out some amp sims for shits and giggles. I came across this one amp sim pack, 8505 by Nick Crow. It sounds really good. How ever, you need a separate impulse loader. I recommend keFIR. You can also find cab impulses around the...
Hey guys.
I just did a quick mix of Making Plans for Nigel. It's by XTC. I know I suck at singing :p
What do you think?

Hey guys
I have a little problem. I just bought M-Audio BX5A Monitors and I don't know how to hook them up :o
Do I connect them to my mixer or my sound card? I want to hear the sounds from my computer, but I'm not sure if it goes:
Soundcard Line Out -> Y Cable -> Monitors
or
Soundcard...
Hey Guys.
I know every single one of you have carried a pick (or several) in your pocket and lost it (or them). I have to say the weirdest place I found my pick was in the back of my toilet. You know, where you take the top off and it has all the tubes and water and stuff. Then there are the...
Hey guys. Just thought I'd share this with you.
I found this guy on youtube, and I was checking out his website. He made over 600 free and good sounding cymbal samples! So if your looking for some, there they are.

Hey guys
I have a challenge for you. I want you to mix a song ENTIRELY with the free DAW Audacity. (I assume you all know what it is) You can only use the plugins that Audacity gives you. No exceptions. The reason I say mix is because I don't think Audacity allows multichannel recording...

I just blew my tweeters out on my Behringer Truth B2030P Monitors. I was wondering if these are any good. They are on sale at the guitar center I live near for 90 bucks. Could they be worse than my...
Hey guys
I'm liking Reaper more than Sonar, and I tried adding some of Sonar's plug ins to Reaper. It's only recognizing a few of them. Is there any way I can get Reaper to recognize all of the plug ins?
Hey guys
I was browsing through some posts, and someone said "This song sounds like it was mixed by a guitarist." The thought popped into my head that any instruments you play affect your mix... For example, if you are a drummer, you make the drums louder in the mix than if you were a...
Hey Guys
I assume many of you have the same problem as I do. LACK OF MONEY! :laughings: I have a solution to making bass sound good in a mix without using an Amp or a DI Box. I've heard great mixes, but the bass sounds like it was plugged into a mixer/interface and left alone after it was...
Hey guys... I think my voice is well enough now that other people can hear. I would like some advice on keeping pitch or changing tone. I'm still a teenager, so... ya know... My voice hasn't deepened all the way yet :o:o:o:o I know I'm a bit pitchy in some spots. My tone changes...
Hey guys.
I was laying down some scratch tracks in Sonar 7 HSXL, and I had a series of plugins that sounded great with my bass. I want to know if there's a way to save one file with all of those plugins (and their settings) so I don't have to add them to every project I do.
Thanks in advance
:D
Hey guys. I made this loop before, except it was just drums and bass. I added guitar, tambourine, and claps.

How do you think everything sounds?
Hey guys
I would like some tips on my bass sound. I don't have a DI Box, so I normally go direct through my Roland Microcube. I don't like doing that, so I plugged my bass into my mixer, used a free amp simulator (Free Amp 3 Full VST), and messed around with different settings. It sounds...
