    About to finish out basement, would like to include a studio, need advice

    Your building codes require fire-retardant wall coverings? Never heard of leaving uncovered (except for cloth) insulated stud walls as an issue.

    About to finish out basement, would like to include a studio, need advice

    Consider NOT putting up sheetrock, leave the rockwool exposed, use a porous cloth covering instead. If you sheetrock the walls, you will need to add trapping.

    No, that link is to MS, and it just lets me open the new Media Player, no options anywhere of the Legacy, which is not on my Win 10 machine (I bought refurbished). Are your computers 64 bit? I see the Winamp is still for x86, but it installed easily. Now how can I capture the Winamp...

    Nope. Not in my Win 10. And googling it shows it only in 11.

    Thanks, but of the 3 free ones, 2 were business-oriented, not really AI at all, just stock images, and one said my Windows 10 wouldn't work with it, although its up to date.

    Need advice on my room treatment plan (Poor room)

    I agree with Keith regarding spending the money on room treatment and monitors. The Kalis are well thought of. As to your 'pile of clothes' - you need to make things as symmetrical as possible, in the room, so all that in corner, and something different for treatment in the opposite corner is...

    Concerning Reverb Inserts and Sends

    I'm with Rob on this - no idea what 'instantiated' means in this case, or what the 'null test' means.

    Do I need to bypass mixer preamp when plugging in external preamp?

    I'm guessing the 'shriek' is feedback. Feedback won't hurt the preamps or inputs, but could blow a speaker or output circuit.

    Low input volume question

    Interesting that you mention the Spitfire piano. I saw others raving about their new concert grand piano, so downloaded it, and tried it side by side with the piano sound I put together on my Casio workstation using 2 of the included piano sounds (you can balance them how you like on the Casio)...

    Low input volume question

    I will echo what Dave said above! Same thing happened to me when I got my Focusrite 8i6 and tried my keyboard in the rear inputs. Make sure you get a stereo mixer, so that you don't lose any stereo effects from your keyboard. I picked up a Behringer Xenyx 1002 for $60. The 'bonus' of using...

    Budget Home Studio Solutions: Share Your Tips and Tricks

    I built all my acoustic (bass) traps, using compressed rockwool from ATS (no local source). I fought the idea of needing acoustic treatment for years, using different rooms, comforters, all the usual mostly-ineffective attempts. It really does make a difference in curbing those unwanted room...

    Mixing SOS

    When you write seriously OVERLONG posts, no one reads every word. Not 'pissed off' at all. Everyone's got an opinion, but not everyone posts a thousand lines about it.

    Mixing SOS

    Wow, you sure an overthinker! 3) Not sure why any one would compress/EQ a track and then render it. 4) If you've got drums in your mix, you need to do work on those first, before adding in all the rest of the tracks, And you say don't add any plugins, but you already said you'd add compression...

    Boosting volume after the fact

    I don't understand why you couldn't just raise the volume slider on the MP3 track prior to rendering.

    Aaaaaaaaaaagh Bloody Computers!

    Sounds like it's the laptop's wireless thingie is on the fritz - buy a USB wireless dongle (they are cheap - less than $15 at Walmart) and see if it connects.

    Help, Help, Help Someone starting out!!!!!

    Its well proven that egg cartons don't do diddly for taming the sound. Too thin and soft to provide diffusion and too thin to provide any absorption. Same thing goes for 'acoustic foam' - it'll absorb some of the highs and leave the sound a muddy mess with uncontrolled low-mids and lows.
