    AMD Hex-core hum

    Okay, I've tried to solve this issue for a year on pc forums to no avail. It's time to get some input from the audio end. I'm on my third AMD 6100 hex core (first two were in a custom build). Three processors in two MBs with different audio and video. All of them hum excessively when the video...

    Untreated Maple Neck

    Big thanks, Mutt. Took some time, but here's what I've done. :D :D :D :D Frets are bright and shiny, too!

    This has probably been asked before...

    I understand that 24 bit is the depth of each sample (not a bit rate), and that 44.1khz or 96khz are the number of samples per second. What can the human ear actually discern? At what point are we needlessly throwing away hard disk space and bandwidth? Do you use a higher setup for recording...

    Thank You Jesus

    OK, Number Two. Let's see if getting the monitors in the proper position helps my ears. https://myspace.com/broken43/music/song/thank-you-jesus-95237682-106079411 Thank You Jesus When I wake up in the morning And my two feet hit the floor Before plan a hundred projects And I head on...

    Floor tom tuning problem

    I have a 5 pc Pearl set at the church. I decided a couple of weeks ago that I didn't like the drop between the second and floor toms. So I tuned down the top head about one interval (full step). I expected it to ring less and have that nice drop "growl" you get from detuning the top head, but it...

    Legends in the Field Influencing their Craft

    Down through the years, there have been many great producers. Phil Specter, Mutt Lange, Kevin Churko, T-Bone Burnett, just to name a few. Who influences your recording techniques? Do you do Bass/Grand piano doubling like Churko? Multi layered "Wall of Sound" like Specter? Who else gives you...

    Okay, my first.

    Here's my first rough mix of a new song I wrote. No excuses, no disclaimers. Let me know what you think (besides needing to hire real musicians and techs).

    Untreated Maple Neck

    PREAMBLE: I almost IM'd this to Mutley, but thought if the information was useful, it might as well be here for everybody. I realize (at the risk of resurrecting Victory Pete) that Light and Mutt have real knowledge of woods and how they act and react, so here is: THE QUESTION: My untreated...

    New Hypersampling

    I know that some will immediately knock this new tech because it takes musicianship away or because it's cheating, or some such... But I just saw the videos on the new Propellerhead hypersampling project (so far drums, bass and piano). They take multiple instruments, mic them with multiple...

    Broadness of Genre

    It just occurred to me that some genres of music are very broad, and others are very narrow and sometimes overlapping. I like prog rock, but it amazes me that everything from Yes, Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, New England to Todd Rundgren to Rising Force to Mastodon to Dixie Dreggs and even...

    If you could sound like anyone...?

    Who are your influences? If your voice could be transformed into someone else's who would it be and why? Now I'd like to start by saying I like my own voice. I wish I could spend more time on scales and intonation so I sounded better, but overall, it's OK. I have always admired having a large...

    Add / adhd and the musician/studio tech

    OK, I've seen a few admit to this. How many of us are in the hyperactive category? It's how we cope with having to watch 32 channels and focus on 7,436 knobs at the same time, right? :confused: It's the actual :listeningmusic: that gets to me. It is the one thing I can do and focus on for...

    Genesis and Exodus

    I'd like to start a thread for all the old timers (and even the newbs) to tell about where they started and give some generals and maybe specifics on how they've evolved. So I'll start. I started playing piano at age 4 (yeah, that's young). My brother wanted piano lessons at 6 and my parents...

    PreSonus 16.4.2

    Looking at dropping the wad ($1600) on this board. I love their "fat channel". Anyone heard downs on this? I don't want to put out that kind of money for something that sounds great on paper, but doesn't stand up. For the under $2k budget, I've never seen anything like it. But, of course, most...

    Double Tracking, Anyone?

    I have had lots of success "double tracking" vocals. It just works better than chorus for me. Does anyone do guitar/bass/drums the same way? I have not tried, but am interested in some feedback before trying it in studio.
