Hey there. I am a midi n00b. My first forray into MIDI was using Garageband and a USB keyboard. I like it because it is simple. I plug in the keyboard, pick my sound, and go. The problem is I recorded the album for my band using all sorts of random garageband sounds (lol) but I would like to...

I am not having any luck finding these things. I would like to have some more options for sounds. Please tell me where and how to look. I already tried the ap store. I don't mind paying for decent quality. All I'm finding on the app store are chord helpers and tutorials and some doohickey that...

I have a question about noise and interference. Background: I'm trying to record my band live. My original plan was to have my keyboard player run line outs to the PA and Audient ASP008 simultaneously. If we plug him into the PA (Mackie 1604 VLZ ---> a pair of E/V ETX 35Ps) there is no problem...

Hey there. My band plays alternative rock/blues/punk. My bass player is looking for a new bass amp. Sweetwater has a sale for the Orange 500w terror 2 x 12 for $988 (usually $1450). This strikes me as a decent deal but I've never played that particular amp before. I have an Orange Rockerverb 50...

I have a Mackie 1400i amplifier that I would like to use for a PA. It's actually for my second PA because my band has two practice spaces. I am trying to cobble together a "B" PA using stuff I already have except for speakers. I am planning to run a Mackie 1604 vlz into the 1400i. Mostly...

I am considering buying a B rig. -One that I can travel with or use at other people's houses. I am considering a an RME babyface or focusrite scarlett 18i8 to use with my Audient ASP008 via ADAT. I've been using pro tools for the last 10 years so I know almost nothing about other software and...

Hey, I am thinking about getting another interface as my B rig - something that is reasonably portable. Right now I'm using a digi 002 with desk top. I want that to stay in my basement. Lately we've practicing at my bass player's house and I would like to be able to record there and have it...

Haha most of you guys are probably surprised I did this seeing as how I mostly cave dwell and lurk elsewhere. Anyway, this is an album I had a lot of fun making with some some old friends. This is a band that is based around having fun. We all write in different styles. The keyboard player...

So I am having my band's album mastered right now. Got my first test mix, sounds totally awesome...except...on certain stereos some of the lower frequencies (60-80 hz) dominate a bit. This is the weird part: On my HD 280s - which allegedly have a frequency response that goes down to 8 hz - the...

I was reading an article in SoS about clocks and AD Converters. The jist of the article was that they ran a bunch of tests and under no circumstances did using an external clock improve performance (contrary to what is typically advertised). Higher quality gear was merely better at being the...

Just seeing what people do. Sometimes I just use 1 output but sometimes I used both. I am wondering about the benefit of both. The Keyboard in question is a Nord. I also somewtimes use a Microkorg. Like most other keyboards, they have L (mono) and R outputs. When I panned them on my monitors...

Tama Star Classic. The cymbal in the middle is a 16 inch Paiste medium crash. Love that thing.

OK here is my room.

This song will probably offend your musical sensibilities. Enjoy!

My recording room is 35.5 feet x 15.5 feet (550.25 sq ft) with 9 foot ceilings. Right now it has 1/2 inch burbur carpet with a very thick pad underneath throughout the room. My recording desk is at one end long-wise spaced about two and a half feet from the wall. I record a live band in there...

So I was reading the latest Sound on Sound magazine. They have this guy John Shanks explaining how he recorded some of Bon Jovi's more recent stuff. I really appreciate that this guy is willing to disclose some of what gear and plug-ins he used. I'm extremely confused by some of his choices. I...

I wrote and recorded this little diddy two weekends ago. Been mixing it in my spare time. Attached is the third mix. I play all the instruments. With the exception of bass drum, snare drum, and bass, this is all recorded through my new toy: Audient ASP-008. The guitars are all through a VOX...

It never occurred to me before to use a large diaphram condenser on a snare drum until I saw someone doing it in a music video. Previously I had used SM57s almost exclusively. So I tried using an AT4040 through my RNP and was pleasantly surprised with the results. This was for a raggae song and...

Go crazy...

I've had mine for 6 years now. My brother built it custom to the specifications of Pro Tools 6.9. I don't have it online and the only program it really has is pro tools. Also Windows XP. I haven't bothered with any upgrades because 6.9 does everything I want. I'm not into editing all that much...
