All my final masters are very quiet compared to other CD's, and whenever i try to turn it up that loud, it starts clipping. What do I do to get it to that volume, am I possibly doing anything wrong? Thanks! -Steve

hey, I'm currently buying a new drum set and I obviously wanted to replace the factory heads...but I don't know what to get :/. I record mostly metal/hardcore and punk, what heads would be best for this? Or does genre not really matter? Thanks! -Steve

Hey, I'm currently in the process of getting a mixer for my studio. I'm getting the Allen & Heath ZED-22FX and I was wondering if since it's unpowered, and I'm using it for a studio, do I need to get a power amp still or does it not matter since it's going into an audio interface? Thanks! -Steve

any suggestions on how to make this sound better? http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=18074 thanks!

So I'm getting all my gear together, and I'm kind of puzzled on what cabinet to get to record guitar. My heads include Peavey 6505+ and Peavey XXX

Okay, so I'm kinda new to recording, and I'm kinda confused with the guitar. I record mainly metal/hardcore guitar and as you may know, on 99% of all well recorded metal CD's the guitar has a huge almost monstrous sound to it. In order to get this sound, is it all about the amp/cab, the mic...

I'm quite new to recording, so I'm still learning how everything connects together (no pun intended). Is there a way to connect an analog mixer to a computer and connect it with your computer software? (not as one track but seperate tracks?) Thanks! -Steve PS: I know there are digital...

I feel so stupid. but.... Normally I've been just plugging my drum mics straight into a firepod and into my computer. Many people have just said "wow...that sounds pretty good for just using a firepod as a preamp." and other stuff of that nature. I feel very stupid asking this because it's...
