Cut this last Sunday. Rough mix. Any thoughts or suggestions? Earl Bury Me Beneath The Willows

I realize this might be better asked on a computer BBS but I'm wondering if any of my DAW bros can explain Bluetooth and what it takes to utilize it. Thanks, Earl

Okay, got moved into a new rental house and have a room which can now be devoted strictly for recording. Yeehaw! The room is 16'x14' with a 9' ceiling. The walls are finished drywall, the floor is mexican terra cotta tile and ceiling has blown-on acoustic. The record/mix position is within...

I saw in the other foam post, a link to the Johns Manville product, Spin-Glas Board. I followed the link and nosed around the J-M site. I'm curious as to the general consensus regarding another J-M product, Whipertone Wallboard...

Excuse my newbiness, but what exactly is the difference between a limiting amplifier and a leveling amplifier? What are a few examples of when one might be used over the other? Are they ever used simultaneously in the same signal path? Thanks, Earl

Hi, I'm considering getting the Mackie Control Universal this weekend. I can get it for $900 out the door. What I'm wondering is, how many of you are using this with SONAR? The tech at Mackie told me I could eliminate around 75-80% of mouse/cursor use by using the Mackie. After 8-10 hours of...

I don't know why I can't get this mix right. It's so simple, Vocals, acoustic guitar and upright bass. Help! Earl Gypsy Rover

I finally took the plunge today and bought XP Pro. I've got it installed and working just fine except...it does not see my Delta 44. :confused: Do I need to physically uninstall the card? I know the reccomendation is to do a complete install (which I will do eventually) but to save files I...

A partner and I are looking at a piece of commercial real estate with the idea of putting in a tracking studio targeted at acoustic music. We've found a building which could serve a dual purpose function. It's 20'x70' and two story. The downstairs area is open and is 20'x50'. The upstairs is...

For some of you this genre may not be to your liking. This is the first of a 12-song CD I just handed my first paying customer! It's a mixture of bluegrass, Celtic-sounding songs and a couple are a little folky. This first one is called "Light In The Window" and is pretty bluegrassy. For...

I just posted a song on the mp3 forum and would like all of my fellow Cakeys to give it a listen. It was recorded/mixed in Sonar 2.2 and mastered in Ozone. It's the post entitled "Mixing/mastering critique wanted". Click here Thanks folks, Earl

I have an acoustic guitar track on which I put a little light compression as well as EQ. In addition, there are 5 other tracks in this song. Banjo, bass, mandolin chops, mandolin solos/fills and vocals. When I bounce all the tracks to a single stereo track, the acoustic guitar becomes very...

Hi, Although I spent several years as a session player, I'm now involved with recording from the other side of the glass. I'm currently mixing/mastering (yes, I've read of the pitfalls when mastering the same tracks I mix) a 12-song CD for a small acoustic bluegrass/folk group. What I want to...

Will applying the 3db boost/cut in any way degrade a track? Thanks, Earl

I'm working on a mix of 12 songs which were recorded day before yesterday and am wondering if I doing something right or wrong with the vocal tracks. The tracks are female vocals and they have several peaks which need taming and several valleys which need boosting (both from a gain...

I'm using SONAR 2.2 and recorded 12 songs yesterday for a small bluegrass group. What I'm wanting to know is how do I ensure that all 12 songs have the same volume level when burned to a CD? Is there software which I can run the songs through that will give me a visual representation of the...

I have been reading with great interest the thread regarding Zeke's new website, Phatman Studios. The thing I noticed that there are many who seemed bent on attacking this young man's attempt to build a website with the very limited resources available to him. Then there are those who have...

I've finally been able to get all of my PC-based recording gear to play nice and have become farily adept with the software. So.....I'm posting a link here if any of you folks would like to hear a bit of the CD project I'm working on with my BG band. We're all pretty new to the bluegrass scene...
