Well, my girlfriend is letting me use a room in her house for a tracking and mixing room (its not that big). And, well, I need a good desk. 40" to 60" would fit in there, and I'm looking to spend no more than $200. Must have space for two computer screens and, of course, my mixing monitors...

Hey everyone, I have a B-52 ST6012 amp that I really love and would like to protect my tubes. Is there some sort of tube guard for these amps or one that works on all amps?

Is a subwoofer a necessary component of a monitor system? Will I need something like that? I would like the ability to mix and master many different genres of music (including industrial, techno, eurobeat, rock, metal, folk, country, etc).

It seems like every radio single has the same qualities. A usually energetic intro that piles into the verse. From the verse, it goes into the chorus, then another verse, then a chorus again. Then some minor chords are seemingly thrown in and its the bridge. Out of the bridge comes a chorus...

I just wanted to thank all of you guys who put a lot of time and effort into helping musicians and aspiring recording engineers alike to get better at recording. Whether it came down to tracking, mixing, mastering, and everything else in between, you have all played a major part in my band's...

Lets say I record a take with an SM57 and then want to make it as wide as possible without having to re-record the take?

Have you guys had any problems with the software locking up in Edit view? I've been trying to add preverb on some of my tracks and the DAW takes a dump and locks up. I can hit spacebar to play whatever is loaded, but I can't click anywhere in the DAW. Its as if there is a window that is...

Right now my amp is pretty generic. Its a B-52 ST6012 amp, like seen here. I want to cover it with something, like this here: or I also want to change the grille on my amp. Right now its just some generic cloth that has been stretched out, so it doesn't even look good anymore. The grille...

I have recorded a very subtle vocal part, but I would like it to be prominent during a certain part of the song. The feeling I'm trying to accomplish is when you listen to it, especially on headphones, that it seems like there are voices whispering in your ear, really close and subtle like. As...

I've heard a lot of mixes over the course of my membership here on these forums, but people making songs seem to not add anything to the song except for the song itself, you know? There's nothing extra... Thats what really makes a good song. Sure, simplistic stuff can get the point across...

Hey everyone, I'll be in the market for a new acoustic guitar over the summer, but in the meantime I would like to start playing around with them. I'm looking for an acoustic that sounds really full, and warm. My current acoustic is very bright and I'm getting tired of it. My price range will...

I'm not sure I understand reamping. Is it pretty much recording one guitar part, then playing that guitar part out through your monitors while recording the sound of the room? To add a sort of "natural" reverb to the guitar and also expanding the stereo image? Its confusing me, and...

I'll be running four pedals, three Boss and a Dunlop wah. Just wondering if anyone out there has anything to accomdate this as far as power goes. Thanks!

Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Des Moines, Minneapolis, and Indianapolis. This summer we'd like to travel for a couple weeks and just play around the region with a couple other bands from my area. I was wondering what kind of bars/venues are available in these cities and if you guys had any...

Just as the subject says ... if you have one or know someone, I'm definitely interested. THANKS!

Hey everyone, We're still working on putting together a nice little disc that we can give away at our shows. And, in the process of this, I can't find a good way to mic the snare when we're doing the drums. I've had to mic the bottom of the snare the past two songs because the microphone...

I went to talk to him but he said he doesn't even know the notes on the guitar. It made me sad. I can't believe it. I've spent so much time learning theory and whatnot but can't play that ridiculously fast. I've always been more of a "create atmosphere" guy more than a "uber shredomatic".

Hey guys, I don't own a ribbon microphone and am interested in getting one but definitely not ready to drop $200+ on one. Any suggestions? Thanks!

A couple of the toms are clipping (whoops) but other than that, what do you guys think? I think there might be a little too much reverb on my snare. I think it sounds good on the song in total but not really when the drum bus is soloed. Here is the link, song takes a bit to get going...

I was reading on Wikipedia :rolleyes: about how there is a lot of digital clipping on their CD "Californication". Is this true? I've listened to that disc for years but never really noticed myself. Why did they master it like that? Did they have any idea what they were doing? From...
