The R&B singers on this track are amateur so disregard the fact that they are off key at some parts. What I would like critique on is the mix, lyrics, production, concept, etc. I never used Autotune but I would like to know if it will help with cleaning up the vocals a bit. Let me know guys...

Say for instance I make a melody in the key or E Major and want to find that unknown chord that keeps popping up in my head. Im looking for a resource either online or book that not only tells me what chords I can make in the EMajor scale, but also tells me about possible inversions of these...

Lately, the bass part (lower cone) of 1 of my monitors have been rattling very loosely. It makes a sound similar to a busted speaker in a car whenever its supposed to play bass. BUT If I lightly put my finger on the cone while the bass plays, then it wont rattle loosely and plays fine so Im sure...

Ive been experimenting more with compressors lately. I would like to ask how do you guys know when your compression ratio is too high or too low? I usually set my ratio to 3.1 for everything because Im not sure how to know if that 3.1 is too much, too little, or just right. Sorry for being...

http://www.freewebs.com/raydiog/RayRoomNoise.wav The above link is the noise my mic picks up. Where is that annoying sound coming from? How can I eliminate it out of my vocal recordings once and for all? P.S. - Its 32 Bit so you may need to open it with your sequencer ;)

Im using GoldenGate for my gate plugin and I have a small hum in my mic signal. I understand the "threshold" setting but I cant seem to grasp the "hold" and "release" setting. As a result I get a PUMPING sound between breaths once I eliminate the hum. Any recommended settings??

I would like to send multitracked vocals from CEP over to FL Studio but there is ONE BIG PROBLEM! How can I do this without losing the position in time from my CEP session? I find myself just inserting the WAVs and having to find the position all over again in the FL Studio playlist.

I have a Delta44 soundcard and Im using Adobe Audition 1.0 and monitoring out of Mackie HR824s and headphones. How do I make it so that I can hear myself talking in the headphones while Im recording?

*I asked a similar ques. like this but the search function is currently disabled* I am trying to learn the chord progression for this song called Confessions Part II by Usher and Differences by Ginuwine. The problem is that I only know little about chords and theory. I know how the chords sound...

When you are ready to do the music for a song, do you already have your instruments (sounds) laid out or do you audition sounds as you go along recording parts to see what sounds good with what you just recorded?

I never had professional music training and Im teaching myself to play by ear. There are a few mp3s I have that use chords. When I listen to the songs I hear the chords and when they are played. My problem is identifying the chords and playing them myself on my keyboard. What's an easy way to...

The issue of latency is something many of us fail to have solved even after years of using CEP (Audition). Please tell me I am not alone in the following. 1) Do you wonder why when you move faders in Cubase, Logic, etc. the volume changes instantly; but in CEP it takes 1 1/2 second to hear the...

I have an AKG SolidTube I had for about 2 1/2 years and I never replaced the tube in it. I rarely use it, but Im thinking maybe Im losing saught after quality Im supposed to have if I replaced the tube. How often should I replace it? Does it really take a huge toll on the performance? Thanks!

I finally decided to upload some of my left over material online. This track sounds like something Bone Crusher or Pastor Troy would rip. For sale and/or lease. Title: Chainsaw Killer Author: R. Jones (ASCAP/BMI) SNIPPET LINK: http://www.soundclick.com/AristaNY

I hear lot of hip hop songs use samples from the 60's and 70's, which have a lower quality and vintage sound than 90's and present songs. Producers like Kanye West tend to sample from these old vinyl recordings because of the vintage Motown like sound you get. HERES MY QUESTION...... How can I...

I have an accapella listed below of a song that has effects going on. Im not an experienced engineer so I was wondering if any of you engineers with the knowledge of pointing out effects could tell me what effects they used on these vocals. THEY SOUND AMAZING, and I want to know what they did to...

I read an idiots guide to music theory and it helped me understand scales and chords more. Still there are things I still can't understand. I make nice hip hop beats, and I see all this talk about chords. I know lots of R&B have chords but I dont understand what all this shit means. I understand...

We all understand that mixing is a big task alone, so I want to know how engineers who also produce use shortcut formulas to make hot music, but not taking away from your creative process. Heres an example of how I approach my music. I honestly use FL Studio to do my drums. I then use it to...
