So I would like to get a cheap but decent drum set so I can work on mic'ing a kit. A pawn shop is selling one of these for real cheap so I was going to ask if you guys have any experience with this kit? Would it be worth the money or should I just save my money.

I am finally getting into the whole midi thing and must say that I have had some fun just messing around trying to learn the program. I have read the manual some but it is just not as fun,haha. I was wondering if someone could possibly talk me through a few problems on IM by chance? A basic...

I'm trying to group all of my midi drums together and am running into a little problem with this. The shortcut which was command + g seemed to work but I couldn't see how to actually select the tracks I wanted to group. I went in through the menu and had the same thing. I thought that if you...

I just bought a Digimax so that I could record more inputs at a time. The problem I am having is that I am getting tons of pops and clicks. I checked about 20 times to make sure they were on the same sample rate. I am just letting the digimax chase my digi rack instead of going through an...

Hey guys I have been looking to trade my MPC 1000 for a while and yesterday someone offered to trade me a Sony C48 straight up. To be honest I have not even heard of this mic before. I looked it up but didn't find too much about it besides advertisements and a few reviews that weren't too...

Alright I should say that I have been playing a PRS Custom 24 for about 5 years now and I think I am going to surprise a family member with it as a gift. So I am starting to think about new guitars I am interested checking out. I should say that I am playing mostly metal/core. So basically...

So I have a pair of cheap studio monitors but I like to check them on my computer speakers since I'm still learning the monitors. So my question is, is there an easier way to switch to these speakers besides bouncing a song to disk, then loading it up in itunes or another program to listen to it?

Hey guys I have just started recording some guitar riffs trying to get some ideas down. Well I finally recorded to a click track with the hopes of starting to put some midi drums down to it. I ran a mic'd i-5 straight into my digi 002 rack. I should say it was never clipping and I made sure...

Alright I have a few riffs that I want to put down to some midi drums down before I find a drummer. My question is, it sounds god awful when I do it. I should say I am trying to metal it up but it sounds so fake it hurts. The samples sound nice but playing at fast speeds just sound awful. I...

So I know a lot of people on here say, "Is (insert mic name here) a good mic? Then everyone else will say, "Go to the store and listen to some and figure out which one sounds the best." However, I have a different type of question. I do no singing whatsoever, so this is not an option for me...

Alright I've bought the basic recording stuff, a digi rack, computer all that jazz. I hope to start recording bands for some money within the next few months so I had a question about a controller. I definitely want one down the road basically to bring in customers and for the wow factor...

I have a thead about selling my MPC 1000 but I figured this might be a little easier to get what I need. Here is a list of a few things that I am looking for, please feel free to post up things that you don't use and might want to sell, this would help out a good amount of people as well. Ok...

I must say that I have always loved the mesa boogie tone on guitars. Lately I know they have been blown up with a lot of bands that I do not like but I still would like to cop one. I would mostly want it for recording purposes and occasionally to jam around with. I know everyone sports the...

Hey guys been lurching for about a month and have really liked this website out of all the ones I've checked out so I figured I would go here first since there is a more community vibe. I am looking to sell my MPC 1000 since I was thinking of going the hardware route to make beats but I just...

I am looking for a cheap pair of monitor stands to hold 2 8" monitors. I have seen the junky on stage stuff that I really wouldn't trust to hold up but everything else is like 200 dollars which I think is amazing. Any brand or something you use that is more reasonable?

I see on most metal boards about how most engineers mic up at least 2 mics on a guitar cab. I understand that in metal you really need that thick heavy tone, but my question is...why do they just not retrack a few times? It seems like it is more work to stay in phase and be able to blend them...

Alright I have been reading up on the "perfect" guitar sound for a while now so I finally feel like I have a decent idea of whats going on. So I tracked a simple little metal riff, then double tracked the rhythm part twice and the lead part twice and blended them together. It was pretty tight...

Alright so I'm finally ready to start recording some bands and the last thing that I'm still not sure on is on a good vocal mic. I have looked at tons of forums for vocal mics, but couldn't really find the answers I was looking for so I figured this was the best place to start. I should start...
