Not sure if this belongs here or the songwriting forum, but here's a song I wrote as a going away gift for my girlfriend who is going off to grad school this fall. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/69304_perfectstrangers.mp3 Mostly looking for suggestions on songwriting, arrangement, etc...

First time posting in this forum... My girlfriend is going away to grad school this fall and is having a hard time with the thought of being apart for a year, especially as it's getting closer and closer now. I wrote this song to give her as a going away present. I'll see if I can post a...

I know this subject's been covered before, but from the searches I've done, I still can't get a definitive answer. So I just got a 3rd drive (Circuit City has WD 80GB 8MB buffer 7200RPM's for $20 after rebate). I would like to use the new drive for disk streaming samples. What's the best setup...

Seagate 7200RPM 120GB 8MB Buffer, $49.99 after rebate: http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=118283 Sorry if this is SPAM, but I just bought the same drive for roughly double that price. :mad: Just want to potentially save someone else from that pain :D

I'm interested in getting a nice sample library for grand piano, like this http://www.postpiano.com/products/prod_subCategory.php?subCat=OLD+LADY I'm using Protools LE, and also have IK Multimedia Sampletank SE and Reasons Adapted (came with PT). Would any of the formats they offer work for...

Anyone here use these rack cases? I was interested in them because the user reviews say that they are 25"+ deep, which would fit my rackmount computer. Unfortunately the item description doesn't mention the depth. Any idea the actual depth and general comments would be appreciated...

Holy sh!t this girl can play! I read about her in some guitar mag (Frets?) a while back and she happen to come through Ann Arbor (The Ark) last week and I got a chance to go watch her play in person. Our collective jaws hit the floor, what a amazing player. A lightning fast fingerpicker and two...

Well as promised here it is.... Please post places that you know of to get rigid fiberglass, rockwool, mineral etc and the location of that distributer. If this thread gets big enough to be helpful, I'll try to get Dragon to sticky it for us. I'll start Detroit MI area, Insulation Sales...

I was listening back to some recordings I did with my band a couple years ago and just wanted to drive over to my drummer's house and slap him. :D He'd just bought a picolo snare about a month before the session and insisted on using it. WE PLAY HARD ROCK!!!! WTF? Anyway it just sounds god...

Was doing a little recording last night when I noticed a strange hiss from one of my MXL603's. It would only come when there was silence, after picking up a little sound, the hiss would go away and swell back as the sound faded, almost like I was "ducking" the noise with a slow release setting...

Anyone know of a supplier in the Detroit area? Closest I could find so far is Toledo Ohio. On a related note, anyone here have admin priviledges? I think it would be immensely helpful to have a sticky thread about regional rigid fiberglass distributers.

Does anyone have a link to an online ear training course with sound clips? I'm more interested in the recording oriented type although the pitch/interval type would be useful too. Thanks Mike

Hello, First off, I apologize if this has been covered before, but I couldn't think of the proper search terms to find it. I'm trying to record and mis in essentially a cube room 12X14 w/10' ceilings. I have a limited amount of acoustic treatment that I can do because it's a rented apartment...

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good dynamic mic for female voice for live use? (yes I know this is the homeRECORDING website :p ) She has kind of a breathy smooth choir type voice, not a shrieker or gritty. I'm thinking like 80-150 dollar range. I already have: SM-58 Sennheiser e825 lesser Shure...

Hey guys, What are some things that you do to juggle both musician and engineer roles simultaneously. I'm getting frustrated trying to do both at the same time because then I can't seem to do either very well that way. As an engineer, I miss takes/punches, forget to enable tracks, or record to...

I just bought a matched pair of MXL 603s's. I like them, they really do sound incredible on acoustic guitar. The only issue I have with them is that they aren't really matched. One is significantly hotter than the other, and sounds just a little more midrangey. The only experience I have with...

Anyone have any suggestions for a cheap rack stand? or a place that has a good price? I don't have anything really heavy like a power supply or anything, but I'd like to have something fairly sturdy. I'll probably need about 12U. The one's musiciansfriend sell look cheap, but look to be pretty...

I am looking to get the following equipment and was wondering how to sync everything up. Digidesign Digi002R M-Audio Octane ART DPS II Since the Digi002 doesn't have a word clock input, I was going to sync the ProTools clock to the ADAT out of the Octane. With the Octane clock set to...

Hi, I've searched the forum for some first hand accounts of M-Audio's Octane pre. A lot of the people posting in the recent threads said they were about to get one or had on on the way, etc. So now that you guys have your new preamp, would you care to share some of your first impressions of the...

Does anyone know a place where I can get a short 7 pin XLR cable, the kind that connects tube condensers to the power supplies? It's for a Groove Tubes GT66 in particular, but I believe they are standard. My mic came with an insanely long cable and I'm trying to tame the spagetti my bedroom...
