hey guys -- I'm using a Roland VM3100Pro, but the MONITOR OUT is MONO only! Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks!

hey guys -- there's a lot of discussion going on what the differences in the sound engines of DAWs are. Since most of us only use one recording/sequencing software, how are we ever gonna figure out which one sticks out? After all: how a DAW sounds like should be the prime criteria, especially...

hey guys -- are guitar compressors/limiter useful for compression of other sound sources in a recording studio (e.g., synths, drum machines)?? I am asking coz I saw that my local music store has a few Rocktron 300G compressors/limiter on sale for $42. How do they sound like?

hi -- I needed a good (and cheap) designer/illustrator to design the CD cover for my upcoming debut album. Any suggestions? Also, what do you think about my logo (see below) for an "electronic music" act?

I have a Marantz dual-well professional CD recorder which I've hooked up to my digital mixer via lightpipe. The idea was to be able to burn mastered CDs for demo submission. Now, it turned out that with almost any of the CD-R/W I can buy at stores, there are drop-out errors. Do you think that CD...

hey guys -- just finished a new ambient DnB track. Its kinda fast (154bpm) & pumping. The vocal samples are from a speach a bishop gave during a televised gospel session (sampled from a DVD). The song is called My Problem Thanks for your comments!

hey guys -- over the past 2 years or so, I was using LOGIC 5.5 on a PC. Yes, PC, coz I got a brand spanking new PC and Logic two fricking weeks before Emagic announced that they won't support PCs in the future. How pathetic is that? Now, I feel like I'm outgrowing Logic 5 and would like to get...

hey -- wassup? Over the past few years I have been using the Roland VM3100Pro digital mixer (24/44.1), which has 8 channels. Now I need more inputs, and I don't care too much about the endless routing options a digital mixer offers. I'm thinking about getting a Mackie 1604 analog mixer and an...

Hey guys -- wassup? Over the past years, I've recorded with my little 8-channel Roland VM3100Pro digital mixer in 24/44.1 into Logic 5.5 on a maxed-out PC. Suited me fine, but now its time to upgrade to something more serious! Since the rest of my gear is rather good quality (Gefell & Neumann...

Hey guys -- I am looking for a textbook about acoustic/sound/recording engineers. Particularly, I wanna read more about the physics of sound, musical instruments, electroacoustic, etc. I have a background in physics, so a theoretical approach would be fine be me. Any recommendation?

ok fellas -- I've found the ultimate microphone for all of you geeks: The Mars Microphone The purpose of this mic is to study and develop acoustic sensors to record sounds on the surface of Mars. Keep in mind that the atmosphere on the surface of Mars is very thin, less than 1% of the...

Has anyone heard of the vintage Telefunken M302 mic and/or MZ032 capsule? Any idea how old they are and if they sound good? I've been offered one ...

hey guys & gurlz -- I recorded a test tone from my exact monitoring position after I installed some home-made wall panels (see another thread below). Signal chain was Gefell M930 -> Focusrite Green pre. Now, how am I supposed to interpret the analyzed recorded test tone (top panel) compared to...

hi -- I've recorded a sweeping test tone from 20Hz-20kHz last night and recorded it from my mixing position through the studio monitors to check on my room acoustics and ways how to improve it. Is there a freebe spectral analyzer software (Win XP) I can use to plot amplitude vs frequency from...

hey guys & gurlz -- wanna check out my new tracks? Its basically "ambient DnB", I'd think. Please give me your comments coz I am finalizing a demo and needed input. Thanxx & enjoy!! Giganova tracks

hey guys -- wassup? I had a lot of problems with standing waves in my new apartment, so I just built my own wall panels. Its basically fiberglass on wood, with white curtains wrapped around so it blends into the walls (a requirement from my fiance). Now the room sounds siginificantly better...

I love the MOOG sound. I want it -- I need it! But here's the catch: I can't afford MOOG. :mad: Most of my synth have "MOOG sound banks", but they don't sound like the real thing, of course. So here's the solution: I could either rent a MOOG for one day, and record every single note with...

hey guys -- wassup? I want to release a "mixed album", i.e. an album where the tracks fade into each other. Very popular in dance music, for instance. Now, should I get the individual tracks mastered first, then load the mastered traxx into my sequencer (Logic) and mix them there, or the other...

hi -- I am extensively using samples from movies in my tracks. Like short phrases, some words, etc. How's the legal situation? Do I need to get clearance for each individual sample, even though they are short, and people might not recognize them? If so, how can I get clearance? Thanxxx!
