Hey guys, I just got my new monitors yesterday, a pair of Yamaha HS80m's and I gotta be honest everything just seems so much more detailed, even my gf (who bought them) can't get over the difference in the sound and she's not into recording, at least not this side of the desk. I've been...

Hello everyone, First off sorry about not being around much I ended up getting and being fired from Charity work (long story :P) So lately I've been dedicating a lot of time to publicity and cleaning my house (which is by far the more challenging :P) but after spending a weekend at my mothers...

Hey guys, I got a great little nixer for myself (for those of you who don't know, a Nixer is a job that you do cash in hand not a formal job) and its recording a metal band. Now, metal is not my genre so mixing will be a fun little challenge, Here's the plan of action, any input would be...

Hi guys, I was watching Bill Bailey 'Part Troll' tonight and in the first half he starts playing a song (he uses Stairway to heaven before playing the actual song) and I was just wondering what that magical piece of gear he uses is to convert the guitar to strings, pipes etc. I gather its...

Faire eve friends, Last night I had the audition that would make or break my live performance career, I was playing for an agency that deals with most of the Music in Temple Bar, Irelands best gigging circuit, (bit of a heads up, definitely go here if you ever visit the island) And I was third...

Hey guys, I'm working on a piece at the moment its pretty much a Acoustic piece with a ska beat and groove (yes I will be using brass when I can get it,) and I have an idea for the outro. Bascially what I'd like to do is get a load of lads drunk (essentially paying them in beer) to sing a da da...

Hey Everyone, If I want to play a midi file through EZDrummer and export track by track to Cubase I'm having no issue. But it gets a little ... hmm ... menial? best word I can find, export - kick - import, export - snare - import etc. but I know it has a multi track export function, so help me...

Those of you who have read of this Winters NAMM in California, Or those of you who have been lucky enough to attend, have probably heard of a lot of new toys on the market, oh how I drooled when I got the latest issues of MusicTech and Sound on Sound at some of these, The one what caught my eye...

Ok I've the constructional (is that a word?) skills of ... I can't think of an analogy without seeming racist so if you could choose your own that would be great, Basically I have two rooms, I wanna make a hole in the wall for a window and another for cables. after a brief chat with an uncle of...

As I sit here writing this post I feel the need to confess a great sin to you all, Long considering myself a musical purist I've started to venture into territory where my conscience begins to kick in, I'm working on a song at the minute and lately have been experimenting a lot with MIDI and...

I've decided (as I do from time to time,) to change my email address as an anti spam measure and I was wondering how I can associate my HR Account with a new email? Any Help would be apreciated. Gaz

Ok Folks, In my exceptionally limited experience as a drummer I've picked up a thing or two, mostly how to dodge flying cans and bottles and the occasional amp but as my 2011 New years resolution is to give up procrastination (actually its my 2010 one, I just put it off for a bit :P) I'm saving...

Hey Everyone, I managed to get some studio time for christmas and am going to be releasing an album (bout 5-6 songs hopefully depending how all fares) and my girlfriend has managed to snag me some time on 'Raidió na Life' an Irish (Gaelic) radio station to promote it and do a track or two live...

Hey Everyone, I was wondering about how you all tackle writing drum lines, and beats for your tracks, I've tried writing midi files start to finish and playing them through EZDrummer and its just a pain I have to be honest, and on top of that they always sound boring, repetitive and...

Good day everyone :), Hi, My names Gaz, I'm a musician and engineer from Ireland and have been trying to learn the art of recording since I was about 13 and have been failing at it quite nicely since, but hopefully with the support of all the people on this forum I just might be able to...
