If your reading this and you are now or have in the past interned at a studio tell me what you think about this. I understand that being an intern in any profession means doing the shit work, and i accept that fully. but i had to do something yesterday that may or may not have pushed the...

Hope this isnt to simalar to the other long drum thread going on, but to me its a differnt question. I tend to like the toms panned wide, first tom, far right, second tom, dead center, floor tom far left, overheads hard left and right, kick and snare center!! A few people who have heard some...

I assume that you have something to do with lightningmp3.com or you ARE lightningmp3.com so i was wondering if the NO copyrighted material rule aplied to hip-hop beats with samples. Its something is mess around with and would like to post, but i do use some samples!!!!!

Ive seen quite a few people place vocal mics sorta above and angled down towards the mouth. what does this do? and other than straight on, what other angles and palcements create differnt qualities/effects?

Ive been playing heavy high gain guitar for who knows how long, and about a year ago i switched from a line 6 rack mount modeler that ran through a power amp, to a plain old marshall jcm 900, and i hate it. I wanted tubes, i wanted straight forward, but it's just not the sound i wanted with...

Everything ive posted has been converted to a 320 mp3 and sent to i tunes which is were i select my files from when posting on lightning. THE PROBLEM:ive had the "rock" eq setting on i tunes the whole time, does this effect the song you send out, or does it jsut effect the song when listening...

This is "remix" of the "help me this mix sucks" song. This was done BEFORE i read everyones suggestions, so i kinda re worked it blind, but mabye its better, mabye not? let me know and mabye ill go for #3 Im gonna try some of the suggestions i recieved anyway...

Ok bare with me. i could be wrong about why this happened, but i think im right, cuz its happend twice now under the same circumstances. I use an external hard drive with my computer, and once before, i did not "eject" the device before i shut down the computer, and i lost several tracks on a...

What are some good tricks to give your mixes a more mastered sound and VOLUME without the use of "real" mastering software or actually getting it mastered. I assume just EQing, compressing, limiting etc... on the master fader, but i dont really know were to start, I know this is gonna make the...

I use logic, and i comes with tons of synth sounds, but none of the organs sound real at all, even when i mess with them. anybody know some plugins that have great organ sounds, you know Hamond b3, wurlitzers etc... and it has to be usable with logic!!!!!!!!

This is the same EVERYTHING from the first two mixes i posted fromm this band, same people playing, same room, same guitars and amps etc, etc..... But i just cant get this mix to sound decent, im not saying that any of my other stuff sounds great by any means, but this, to me at least, is...

the studio were i intern is moving from Manhatten to Brooklyn so its time to start breaking things down. And i had the task of takeing apart the sidecar on the giant 70's Neve console, jesus those things are crazy. I know i know i know, and im not starting a digital vs analog argument, but i...

I havnt wanted to post this, but i kinda pulled it out of the depths. This wa the very first song i attempted to record, and it took some knowledge to go back and "fix" it, most of the suck came from tracking, but what the hell it was my first. Let me know what you hear and mabye it can be even...

Ive been shy about this, but i kinda pulled it out of the mirk, its the very first recording done with my setup, MAJOR tracking issues so it was rough. Looking for suggestions to make it even better, although what i have to work with is week at best...

Bare with me here its a tuff explanation. Basically i revisited a mix i started a long time ago trying to use some of the knowledge ive gained in the past months. I started from scratch, got rid of all processing i had going etc....and now im pretty happy with the resualts. the thing is on the...

How much does it really matter if two or three times throughout a song the snare (for instance, i could be anything) clips. Im talking about a clip that is basically inaudible because of the nature of the song but the meters are defenetly spikeing. If you cant hear it, does it matter?

I dont know much about midi other than that i use it somtimes with Logic, I mostly use it for sound effects and noise, synthes mostly. I trigger the stuff with an M-audio keyboard. my question is....I have one song were i used just a little midi, and the first time i open the file to play the...

yes i also put this in the clinic. this is the first recording i have done of a band that is not my own!!!! i had never recorded acoustic guitar, chord organ, or this genre of music. Plus i just messed with some stuff, room mics on the drums on top of close mics, a mic on the top and bottom of...

They are The R101, first time doing a lot of things, first acoustic guitar, first time with this form of music, first time with the chord organ, first time trying some room micing on the drums, and definetly the first time i recorded a song i had NOTHING to do with (althoug i did do the backing...

Im thinking my next two major purchases are going to be a high quality outboard pre or two (different kinds for differnt flavors) and a summ box. I guess what im wondering is "if you could only get one of the two things" which of you out there would get what first in terms of a device thats...
