The cheapest monitors I've come across so far; Nady sm-250a active monitors. I know I'll have to check them out at the store with a cd I know really well and then compare them to better monitors, but still, I never had real monitors so I'm not sure what to look for. Do these specs mean anything...

Has anyone ever heard (of) Nady audio sm250a monitors? The guitar center offers them for 300,- a pair. "The SM250A is an active, full-range, 2-way studio monitor speaker with 6 1/2" shielded woofer, 1" Ferro fluid-cooled, soft-dome shielded tweeter and built-in 100W bi-amped power. This model...

I've posted more then one cover in the clinic but never my own work, so I guess there's a first time for everything. I recorded this song over a year ago but I only finished it now. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out although I think I'll have to retrack some of the vocals. 'Time for...

Ok, here goes.... Rip them apart if you have to.. Advice on how to improve them would even be better. Keep in my mind (as if it's not obvious) that English is not my home language.. I know the song is kinda depressing but they fit the music nicely IMHO. Bye Bye World ------------------ VERSE...

I've got all the tracks recorded and want to put some nice reverb on the whole song. The drums however seem to have enough reverb of their own, so basically I want to put the same reverb on every track, except for the drums. Now I know there is a better way then putting the same reverb on every...

I usually make my drums in Fruity Loop, then export them to a wav.-file and open that wav.-file in Cubase, where I can cut and paste everything into place. Most of the times I'd like to make small changes to the drums after I've recorded some of the other instruments, so I open Fruity Loops...

So far I'm using mda piano, triangle, jx16 as vsti's. I found them all online, they are all free and very good IMO. Now I know there can be found a lot of these free vsti's, but I bet half of them are crap, so does anyone know wich free vsti's are worth installing? I found these 2 sites...

I've posted my cover of Coldplay's clock in the clinic about six months ago and most of the comments I got were about the vocals. So I did them all over, mixed the whole thing again and I'm really happy with the result. I'm curious about you guy's opinions. Do I still sound so Jamal-isch?:)...

I'm moving into a new appartment in two months and I'm planning on setting up my 'studio' in a rather small room; 2 by 4 meter (8 by 14 feet) that has one big window. I do drums in Fruity loops and guitar and bass through a preamp so nothing will change in recording those. I'm a little worried...

This question must have been answered numerous times, yet I can't seem to find it with the search function. I'm currently using Cubase vst32 but I'm thinking of switching to SX. Will I be able to open my arrangements, made in vst32, without any problems in SX? I guess it can but I just want...

I am currently working on a song that has a lot of midi (vst instruments) in it, by 'a lot' I mean 6..' However my processor can't seem to handle this and I get a lot of clicks and pops and sometimes things start to go really slow. This is really frustrating cause this keeps me from working...

I've been recording in Cubase 5.1. for a while now and have a lot of unfinished songs, wich means my hard drive is full of wav. files. Whenever I finish a song I just save the result to an audio cd, but how can I make some sort of backup from all the wav. files a song is made of. Also, If let's...

I made a cover of Audioslave's "I am the highway". I've been mixing it over and over again and I just can't seem to get it right. Somehow the vocals don't fit into the mix, I don't know. I will have to do them over, but before I can do so I need to know how the recording can be improved...

I've been recording for a while, using my home stereo system as output. It sometimes sounds great through my system but it can totally suck on others. That's why I decided to buy monitors, but where to begin. 1. I'll be hooking them up straight to my soundcard, so I guess I'll need active...

Coldplay cover (THE RIGHT LINK) I'm not particulary a fan of Coldplay, but since I'm learning how to play keyboard/piano, I made a cover of their latest single, which has a lot of piana and keys. I did the guitar, bass, keys, piano and vocals myself. I made the drums on my computer. The quality...

I finally found some time to really finish my AIC's "no excuses" cover. I followed a lot of you guy's advice. I turned up the lead guitar and panned it some more. I did the drums (Fruity Loops) all over, they are in stereo now and I also did the high voice all over (coz it was to compressed)...

Hi everyone. I just finished listening to this Stromschlag dude's first song and it sounded so good that I almost didn't have the guts to post my song. I did yet another alice in chains cover. But as they say; third time's charm. This one is truly the best. I spent a lot of time on the mixing...

After 'Brother' I now did 'Nutshell'. Last time I got very good comments on my vocals. Well this song proves it sounded good because of the harmonies, not because of any talent (sigh). I am fairly happy about the guitarsolo in the end. I intend to work some more on my own stuff later but for now...

A I've been recording this song for ages now. Actually, I recorded it some months ago and I never finished it eversince. This must be the heaviest song I've ever made. I was kinda inspired by Tool. I'm really having a hard time trying to put vocals to this song, so I put it up without them and...

I saw Puddle of Mud performing a cover of Brother the other day and I decided I could do a better job myself. I played all the instruments myself, including the double layered voices of Jerry and Layne (even the a capella bit..). I put it on MP3.com, so please listen and share your comments...
