Don't any of you ever wish you could mix in your car? I've read it being discussed before that music always sounds best in your car. Something to do with the accoustics, and how there are so many odd shaped angles, and the seats act as bass traps, etc.. I know exactly how things should sound...

I've heard of many people eqing a little hole into a mix so that vocals will fit in better. My question is how do i figure out where the vocals will fit? Generally what frequencies should i dip down to make a space for the vocals. I would be inclined to do a 3dba dip. Im assuming femal and...

I've had an ART Studio Mp for a little over a year now and i've never really used it due to the fact that it sounds terrible. I just assumed that was the way it was supposed to be, or that because i was using a sblive it just sounded bad. But after using some mackie boards, and doing TONS of...

The ardvark q10 seems like the perfect card in every way for me. It eliminates the need for me needing a mixer because it has preamps, seperate headphone and monitor outputs with volume knobs, hi z guitar inputs, etc... It seems to be perfect, it's more expensive than say a delta 1010, but it...

Lets say i have an album. Lets say its half rock, half experimental hip hop, half jazz. Just a mix of styles put together. Its about 14 tracks long. Maybe 3 of them are short 30seond-1 minute interludes or outros and are very basic. Lets say the other 11 songs are on average 3.5 minutes...

I was thinking of getting a delta 44 to start out, seeming they just dropped in price to 350 canadian. But then i stumbled upon heaps of posts lately about the Ardvark Q10. People were singing it's praise so i thought i should check it out. Now is it just me or is this thing too good to be...

I was curious if anyone had any exerience with the Via 133 chipset i have, or one like it, with a delta 44. Ive heard of compatablility issues with this combination, but i don't know if there has been a patch or a method for fixing it. Im planning on buying this card very soon after some...

Im stuck mixing with my computer speakers, headphones, and sometimes the reference of some cheap Paradigm bookshelf speakers behind me. I get it sounding awesome on these speakers, and then i got to my car (where everything usually sounds the best), and the bass is just overpowering! Even more...

Ok guys. Im in the process of mixing/recording a song of almost all guitar. Its going to have various guitars, playing over various guitars. At one point i have Strumming panned Center, some plucking panned a bit left, and im planning on getting a little electric panned a bit right, to accent...

Called Uncle Jazz. Mixing it with a friend, its got a long ways to go, you may hear different beats being louder than others. He was messing with some delays and he hasn't quite fixed it yet. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1897&alid=-1

Tomorrow im going to record some conga drums and some percussion for a bunch of my tracks. I don't know exactly what hes bringing for percussion, but he said "I have congas and timbales and claves and a tambourine and cymbals and stuff. I'm not sure if I want to bring everything though." For...

I don't know if anyone here has read any of my posts, if they have they'll probably know a little bit about my situation. but for those who don't i have very little equipment and im making due with what i have (probably the same as 90% of the people on this board), so i rented a few things...

Ok, i have a general idea of what mics being out of phase is, i've read alot of explanations, and it made sense at the time, but it seems a lot has gone in one ear and out the other. So how can you tell if mics are out of phase? It will sound really bad a wierd? And how can you fix it? Ive...

I have a friend coming over and i need to recoard his bass guitar. He'll be bringing his bass guitar and bass amp, and i'll be recording it into my computer with either a Shure beta 52 (kick mic), shure sm58, or apex 410 condensor mic (good multipurpose condensor mic). Which one of those mics...

Im having troubles getting started with seperation. I EQ tracks till they sound good, i try not to boost too much, i pan, i do levels etc.. And i understand what you mean with Eqing each instrument to have its own space, and make sure non of the instruments step on each other, but how do i...

I Need a set of cheap but decent headphones for my brother. Hes doing a media course in college and he needs a decent pair of headphones for working, as well as listening to music and everything else. Looking for something around 100 Canadian, i guess thats like, 60-65 US? I have a pair of...

Alright, well in the microphone section you'll find a link about me trying to record steel drums, if your intresteded. Anyways, i rented a small mackie mixing board, an apex 410 condensor, and also used a shure sm58 i already have, and i recorded some steel drums. The guys in the thread...
