I think you just need more experience. I had a quick listen to a few of your samples and felt that you were often using stock sounds that have been well used before. I'd say that you need to think a bit more about arrangements and try to come up with something a bit more unusual in sound. Stick...

I'm going to add another to the list - USB Audio Recorder Pro from the people who brought you the Audio Evolution mobile DAW https://play.google.com/store/search?q=usb+audio+recorder+pro&c=apps&hl=en_GB&gl=US I've been using it for a few weeks now with my Zoom U-44 audio interface recording up...

Whenever I see this discussion amongst experienced piano players I hear so many different opinions. This really is down to personal taste. In my experience the feel can vary between different models from the same manufacturer so you really need to try a good selection of models in your price...

I went to a music biz meeting last night aimed at up and coming artists and was very interested to hear Karen Kemp from BBC Introducing say that, no matter how much else you DIY, you should get your music mastered properly. I guess she gets to hear all kinds of material from up and coming...

Since I discovered that you can chain the different modules in Reaverb, I use it much more now but I usually use the Trim/Stretch/Gain module and the Filter module to adjust the raw impulse to fit the sound that I want.

So far I've changed DAWs twice - or maybe three times if you count MIDI too. I was looking at more expensive systems like Sadie and Soundscape before discovering the Turtle Beach and SAW combination which was around a third of the price of Sadie. It was primitive but, compared to tape editing...

When you think about it, many serious users of music software are creating material that they don't want to share until it is officially released. So any software aimed at professional musicians should keep your recordings safe. Yes, there are platforms like Bandlab who are keen on music sharing...

I'd go for the later processor. The 4th generation i7 adds certain instructions that are useful for signal processing - there is a big difference between the 2nd generation i7 in my laptop and my son's 4th generation i7 in his, otherwise similar, laptop. Either of them will handle plenty of...

Why not transfer the files to computer over USB and then send them over the Internet? The MR8 produces standard mono 16 bit 44.1kHz .wav files.

If you look at a U87 in a working studio you will often find the odd dent in them - mine has one that was the result of a stand falling over. I saw it happen in slow motion but was too late to stop it crashing into the stand next to it. It didn't affect the sound though.

I've had no success at running an audio interface with the Via Firewire chip in my Dell Precision M4600. I also failed with the O2 Micro chip in a Dell Precision M6700. I've only successfully used this audio interface (a Focusrite Saffire Pro26io) with computers that use TI Firewire chips. The...

I used to wonder what the fuss was about until I got to try one (an RX202). It has a far more stable sound than any other deck that I've used and the Dolby does what it is supposed to do without sucking the life out of the sound.

You can't do Firewire to USB so you would need to find a computer with a Firewire port that uses a Texas Instruments chipset. Don't even think about trying to use a Firewire port that doesn't use a TI chip because they just don't work for audio. Older Macs can use a Thunderbolt to Firewire...

Based on comments from other parents, many children listen to stories in the car or while travelling. Audible is often mentioned so having your books on there would make them easy for parents to find. Whatever you choose, parents nowadays will mainly use phones or tablets to play stories so you...

I use a combination of 4" and 5" acoustic ducting with an inline fan. There are 4 inlet ducts fed from just under the eaves and 4 outlet ducts which are combined into a single duct that feeds the fan. You need to be very generous with the duct lengths so that the duct can snake around in the...

Julian - I've just sent you a message...

No - they only had a free entry which allowed a studio to mention the recorder, mixer and monitors but nothing else. If a studio wanted to publish more information they had to buy a bold entry or a display advert. You can find more info about old Soundtracs consoles at...

I'd do it pretty much the way that Rob has described but change a few details. I would add a compliant layer under the studwork and under anything else in contact with the floor. In my studio I used rubber crumb carpet underlay made from recycled car tyres although other studio builders use...

I've got a few of them from various years but the other ones are over at the studio which is a drive away. We were sent them for free because we also had an entry for our studio in them.

After watching some of that video I'm glad I didn't buy one of those when I was looking for a new desk. The routing looks a real pain and only 2 effects at a time is a bit of a limitation. I'm much happier with the A&H that you can see in my avatar.
