I am thinking of upgrading my Aardvark Q-10. The thing is I need 16 inputs, so one option is to get a 2nd Q-10 off of eBay. My problem with that is the fact that the company is out of business, so there are no future driver updates. I have been very happy with the Q-10, so if I go for a new...

I am curious to know something. I exclusively use sampled drums, so this is something just to expand my horizons so to speak. When recording live drums, how do you control the ringing of the kick drums to just get a nice solid thud. Is it what the pillows, blankets and such are for or do you...

When "mastering" my latest tune, I put on the UAD-1 LA2A and noticed that it sucked out the low end quite audibly with even 2-3dB attenuation. Now I (and many others) have always thought of this thing to be quite transparent, but in this case it was quite audible how it was affecting the tonal...

Not everyone's cup of tea, I guarantee you. If you like noise, industrial and such, check it out: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=283880 It's the first track on top. Comments appreciated.

I need some ideas. If I had the budget to hire 10-15 drummers, take them to some cave and record on location with a couple of omnis, obviously that would be the ideal. Unfortunately that's out of question for me right now. Basically I'm trying to get a big cavernous sound, giving the...

Can someone suggest a decent yet free stereo sidechainable VST compressor? Thanks!

The automatic gain makup function that some of them have... Ok, ok, perhaps the second most useless... right up there with presets on plugin compressors. I know the developers mean well, and on paper it sounds like a good idea. But unfortunately it only works with fastest attack settings. And...

Right now, I'm in the process of looking to purchase land to build a house on. Since I'm going to be starting from scratch, I want to get an idea what would be ideal shape/size for a control room that would be capable of handling frequencies down to say at least 35-40Hz. The "control room" will...

I just started to work on a new tune, and for the first time I feel that having those savagely pumping cymbals would be appropriate. The question I have is how does one achieve that without destroying the attacks of the kicks and snares? I'm sending the drums to a group track to compress them...

GRRRRRRRRRR. Seriously, sequencer programmers need to realise that there are time signatures other than 4/4. I tend to use Cubase's Hitpoints feature often. Well, try that on a drum loop that's in 11/8 :eek: :mad: Yes dammit, the tune itself is in 11/8. Now I need to cut the whole damn thing...

OK... this is probably going to be on the strange side. I'm looking for a way to recreate the crappy crackly distortion that one gets when cranking up the volume on a $50 car stereo. One way is to just get the car stereo, and hook it up to the soundcard, burn a CD and play it through that amp...

I'm quite preplexed by this. Everyone complains about this, and everyone is guilty of it. Can the pros shed some light on this? Specially the mastering engineers, who seem to be the most vocal about this, yet seem to be forced into it. Why do you do it? Who makes you do it? This specially hit...

Does anyone know of any mastering engineers in Southern California that have experience with electronic Industrial/Powernoise?

Hi Used to post here a long time ago under a different name... Anyhow, if there are people among you that are into Industrial, Powernoise and other harsh stuff, I'd like your opinions on my latest tune "Disembodiment" Stream: http://www.soundclick.com/util/streamm3u.m3u?id=2742783&q=hi...
