As the prior posts alluded, I would focus on buying the monitors you want/need for appropriate playback, then at worse treat the room for whatever deficiencies reveal themselves. Along that line, I would get monitors first THEN see what needs addressing. You're guessing otherwise, and really...

The email you registered with can always be used to perform a password reset, and in order to change an email on most systems you have to click a confirmation link sent to the new email, so even if you wanted to just put in a random email you'd be thwarted there as well.

The community part of any forum extends past a couple topics. There really isn't any community because the interpersonal level stuff is toxic. I should add there does seem to be some community among the few resident trolls. You basically described what I do, but on the few other forums I...

Moderation on this site is almost non existent. It certain curtails my interest and involvement, as the site doesn't seem long for this world if the people who are supposed to care the most don't seem to.

Or media that's producing frequencies over 20khz.

That the pseudo-science BS. Exists in many pursuits/fields. Same mentality behind urban myths and conspiracy theories. Make an erroneous (or fictitious) connection, let the human brain do the rest.

Don't think too much about it. The recent discussions (debates) have never been about whether someone can get a good recording using analog gear, it's the insistence that analog is superior that raised eyebrows and pushback. I 'carefully' listen to a lot of 1960s- early 1980s music, much of it...

The obvious benefits of digital IMO is the point of the thought exercise. But they would both 'work' fine if we assume both are indestructible with no objective differences in durability, which of course isn't the actual reality. And then we can spiral down the same wormhole of discussion for...

To be clear, just because someone is recording in an all digital format doesn't mean they have to use every digital tool at their disposal. Many artists choose to not use autotune, or even click tracks, and just want the digital workflow for convenience, ease, cost savings, or whatever. The...

It would appear so. There's no member account listed, probably a thing that happens when someone is banned. They openly admitted (even smugly pronounced) they were intentionally creating discord. Good riddance. On a semi-related note, I'm glad to see you're still here despite that meltdown a...

Mixing and engineering can be part of the creative process, and in that spirit giving ourselves as much control over the final sound for each track should be the goal of the 2023 home recording artist. Anything less introduces compromises and limitations, which runs contrary to the historic...

The tendency early into the 'mixing engineer' journey is to throw too many things at a song, like reverb and chorus on every instrument, etc. As explained, it can muddy things and create insurmountable issues. Experience taught me to start fairly dry, always keep a dry original take and add...

I moved my fairly large monitors to stands and have a standing table (basically a wide desk). Got it early in the pandemic at Office Max/Depot, they're probably more now than the $175 I paid but it's holding up well. I like being able to stand playing guitar while tracking. Having a bad back...

If you search the forum there's a few past posts on small scale basses, I know because I've responded to this question/topic several times over the years as a long time short scale bass player. No sense reposting the same thing (again, again, and again).

Good to hear. I've been tempted to migrate away from Cakewalk a few times, one thing that's held me back (aside from having to buy new software and Bandlab's Cakewalk being free) is whether some of the Cakewalk specific plugins especially from X3 Producer would carry over/work in other DAWs. It...

Instead of setting them to zero, just deactivate them. In Cakewalk at least, any plugins I have set on a track can be toggled on/off just by clicking on them. This also ensures they're not using processing power while doing nothing for you, but you also don't want to completely remove them for...

BTW, I asked a mod to move this to the cakewalk section, not sure why it's in the soundforge section.

You may need to go into sound settings and select the usb piano on the inputs list, then when you follow the steps for adding a soft synth you set the input on the midi track to your usb keyboard. This is assuming you want to use the usb keyboard as an input only/midi control for a software...

Although it sets the inputs/outputs based on system defaults, you may need to adjust your input/output settings at the track level. But first check the system settings and make sure your sound card is detected and selected. Most midi ('virtual keyboard' implies that's what you're using) is...

There's professional drummers who play electronic kits for commercial releases. They do this partly out of recording ease (or being able to provide just midi to the collaborating artists to use in whatever drum software/electronic sample kits they see fit), and being able to track songs at...
