Hey all. My set-up is in my sub-basement, a few months ago I ordered and threw up some moving blankets, and they definitely made a difference. The room echo wasn't terrible, but the blankets were a major improvement. Does anybody have any advice or suggestions for more improvements? There's...

Hello, I looked around for a while and could not find specific answers to this. Sorry if it's been answered before and I just didn't find it yet. When using the Slate VMS (Virtual Mic System) in the VMR, you obviously have the mic choice first, then into whatever preamp you choose. My question...

Instrumental that I recorded literally like three years ago on my old Tascam 24-track, and it's been sitting around ever since. Transferred the tracks to ProTools and spent the last two days re-doing the drums with Superior Drummer, and mixing it. Pretty straightforward; drums, two hard-panned...

Took this new family picture a few weeks ago.

Posted this one a while back as an instrumental. Tracked the vocals about a week ago, been mixing it for the past few days and it's time for some input. After "Summer Dream", this is now just my second tune with vocals. Still have about 8 more recorded waiting to do the vocals, as a crazy...

Should be a pretty easy question, and common sense thinks I already know the answer, but I figured I'd ask anyway. If you have multiple tracks of something going to a single bus for joined processing, but send from the individual tracks to a reverb, that means the reverb return sound is...

New recording from a few months ago that I finally did the vocals on. Been mixing it for about a week, I believe it's close but I've reached the point where I need some input. -Stereo acoustics (Taylor 816ce), one panned left, one right -Soft bass track (2006 USA P-Bass) -Random percussion...

This is a song my wife wrote long before I met her, and she's never been fully happy with the recording she did of it way back in 2001. So after a little coaxing, I agreed to re-do all the music for a new version. Lots going on- Drums, bass, two slightly distorted guitars during the choruses...

Been doing a lot of research on this, and sorry if it's still a little confusing to me. I'm making rough "masters" of my material for listening in the car, uploading to my music sites, etc. The bulk of my material is recorded at 24/48 in Pro Tools 12, and if I want to burn a CD for...

Tune I recorded 2 months ago, still needs vocals. They're already written, I'm still in the process of putting together my vocal "area" (got moving blankets, spit screen, etc) Finishing set-up and starting vocals on like 10 different songs next week, so I'm exited about that finally. Want to...

So I walk into Guitar Center last week for a few cables. Walked out with a $4,000 Taylor :facepalm: An 816ce Grand Symphony. Wrote and recorded a few new songs with it, and this is one of them. I decided to post this one because the Taylor literally did all the guitar tracks, rhythms and leads...

First off, sorry I haven't been around at all lately, been super busy in my own world doing a bunch of new recordings. Vocals coming soon on a bunch of them. I have a lot of catching up to do listening to everyone's new songs/mixes, and I promise I'll get to it soon! Anyway, two days ago a...

My strats- 1997 Sparkle Purple Jeff Beck w/ Gold Lace Sensors 2001 Emerald Sparkle USA Strat with David Gilmore EMGs 2003 Blueburst G&L Legacy w/ Seymour Duncans (Screamin' Demon, Duckbucker, Vintage Rails) 1995 Red Mexican Squier w/ Screamin' Demon and two Duncan Staggered 2002 Black Cort SP-3...

Thanks for the listen guys. The room probably is part of the problem. I always wondered if putting a thick rug on the wall behind the speakers would help some. Those are cement walls. The basement isn't huge, looks like it's about 16x18ish) but behind me, out of the picture, is the whole band...

Spent Thursday and Friday tracking this tune I wrote a few months ago. Lyrics are about 3/4 done, so yep, yet another tune added to the "need to do the vocals for" list. Think I'm up to 6 of them at this point :facepalm: Anyhow, spent most of tonight mixing it, and I'm really struggling with...

Still haven't done any vocals yet, but getting close. This song will most likely be the first I do, recorded it last week when the vocal melodies/lyrics came to my head. Looking into an iso shield and a pop filter, then heading up north to the cabin to get 'em done. Nothing fancy here, a basic...

As some of you know, I have 4 or 5 songs I'm getting ready to lay the vocals down on. I've only recorded vocals a few times in my life, but it was a long time ago. I used a Peavy PVM22 back then, basically Peavy's version of the Shure SM58. (I have one old song I did in the "Vocals" thread if...

Another older song from a few years ago that I decided to redo the drums for. Like I've said before, I've got dozens of these, and I'm just picking random ones here and there to practice mixing with PT, and obviously give them much better drum samples than my old drum machine. It's giving life...

Another short recording from a few years ago that I just re-did the drums for, and re-mixed. Worked on the mix for two nights, time to take a break on it. Used a little more reverb than I normally do, as the mix was a little more open than the last few I worked on. Hopefully I didn't over-do...

Hello all. Quick question about Sends mainly. I've already been using buses when I know multiple tracks are going to use the same settings on a desired effect, reverb, EQ, etc, or to have all their faders controlled by just their one bus fader. Create the Aux Track, send desired tracks to Aux...
