So here's the deal: I track and mix at 48khz. I do this because it offers a slightly better detail to the sound, as well as allowing for slightly lesss brutal digital filtering, as you can now have frequencies up to 24khz instead of 22khz with 44.1khz SR. But are there added benefits to...

So i'm looking at buying a new computer, as my 1.6gig Intel Centrino 512mb ram Dell laptop is just not really powerful enough. I'll be doing pretty much only mixing, no recording, on this computer. The particular Mac Mini is the 1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo with 1mb ram. I'll be running Pro Tools...

Powermac G5? It's a dual 1.8ghz (powermac CPU, not Intel), 512mb ram.. a friend of mine is selling it after having used it for 2yrs, doing only audio/video work on it. he's a friend of mine and i want to give him a good price, without ripping him off. i've tried searching around and haven't...

Hey guys, first rap track i've ever done. my role was as engineer/mix. tell me what you think. i do listen to a fair amount of hiphop, but as this is my first rap project, i just wanted to know if i'm headed in the right direction with this. there's a possibility of doing an 8 or 10 track...

Heya, Having recently aquired a multi-band compressor plug-in, i'm now starting to begin messing around with it. i'm pretty familiar with how it works and what the controls do, as i'm very familiar with using compressors. I've read a few things on the internet about how to use mbc, and rather...

So here's my latest chef-d'oeuvre !! An original song by a band called Swerve. This is the second track that i've done of theirs, the other you can hear on their website (Swerve homepage) and there's a thread floating around this forum about it.. ("You Said I Said") so here it is! Float Away...

Here's a funny little song that some friends of mine wrote. Please to keep in mind that this is a joke and is not serious...if you're easily offended i suggest you don't listen to the lyrics. One drummer, one guitarist (who also played bass and sang b'vox), one keyboard and a very very crazy...

Hey guys, I was try to extract a session from cubase to put it in tools the other day, and came across a few problems: on certain tracks (say vocals) there were multiple regions corresponding to different punch in/outs. now when i selected the track and from the menu chose "bounce selection"...

Hey guys! so here's my latest piece of work, a song called I Said You Said by a band from my uni called Swerve. 4-piece band, drums, vocals, guitar and bass. Drums and bass went down live, bass DI'd. One of the guitar tracks was actually meant to be just a ghost track, so it was DI'd, but...

Hiya! Here's a song I just recorded and mixed in Tools, and was hoping to get some opinions on the mix quality. I'm having terrible troubles with the bass jumping out on certain notes, and I'm not too sure how to solve this. I think I may have to locate the appropriate frequencies and just...

Hey everyone!! so this is my latest song that i've written and recorded. i wanted to use some effects on the voice and acoustic guitars this time. i was shooting for a "distance" kinda effect with loooads of reveb on the chorus part ("When it all starts to change..") and added a little echo...

ok, so i'm takin my .wav file and encoding it to .MP3 so i can post it in the "mp3 clinic" here. when i'm in the "save as" window and i've selected MP3, it has another drop down menu called "file attributes". an example of one would be "Layer 3, 44100Hz, stereo, 128 kb/s". what should i...

how important is the room in which you record? i mean i know that it's gonna have some importance, but how important is it really ?? when i'm doing my homerecordings, is it really gonna change that much in the sound (without listening to it on a 50million buck sound system)? i have the choice...
