I'm in the process of recording an album now, the second that I've been a part of, but only the first by myself. When my band recorded previously, we simply found a functional setup and then recorded everything within that setup. There was enough variety in the instrumentation and sentiment of...

I'm using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, and I can't figure out how to create pre-delay. Is this a special plugin, separate from the regular delay and reverb? Or is it something I have to create by manipulating the plugins I already have? Let me know if you have an answer. Thanks, Peter

I recently came to the conclusion that if I want the album I'm working on to sound truly good, I need quality monitors to mix through. I had been using a good pair of headphones in conjunction with frequent listening sessions on various systems, and I don't think I'm getting what I need out of...

I'm looking to buy 1 or possibly 2 Rode NT's. Any of the NT-1, NT-1a, or NT-3 models are acceptable. I only want mics that are in new or like new condition, and have been treated well. I see an NT-1a on ebay in new condition with extras for $200, but I thought I would check here for a...

Hey everyone, as I'm preparing for the release of my album, I've been trying to decide how I'm going to fulfill orders. I was considering using an online service, but I've been looking into alternatives and I thought I would let you know what I figured out...

Hey, I posted the last mix of "The Booty Don't Stop" early this week. I took a lot of your advice and came up with this version, so please let me know what you think of it! http://www.poemadept.com/music.htm for streaming audio or downloadable mp3, or http://www.poemadept.com/booty.htm for...

Hi, I'm submitting this song to FOUND magazine as an ode to something they published. They're putting together a complation disc that will be professionally mastered, but since I don't have a clear idea of exactly what mastering will and will not take care of, I wanted the track I submit to be...

What should I do to set the volume of my finished songs to something close to that of professionally mixed and mastered tracks? I find that frequently my songs end up a lot lower in amplitude and I don't want to just resign myself to turning the volume up. I'm curious what the professional...

Okay, so I'm not entirely naive and I can guess what a signal chain is. However, though I hate to reveal how entirely unprofessional I am, I really don't know what goes into one. At least, I'm clueless what goes into a good one. For example, I have a few sm-57's and two Rode NT-3's. I plug...

Hi, these are some tracks I'm working on right now and I wanted to get a response from others regarding the mix. Please let me know what you think of the EQ, levels, effects, etc. The songs are kind of folky, and I've noticed that a lot of the music I hear on this site is rock/blues/funk. So...

I am currently working on a project recorded at home, and having trouble creating a full stereo image. I have a few questions and any information you have I would greatly appreciate. The tracks are recorded in stereo using Cakewalk 9, and initially I simply toyed with the panning a little bit...
