I need some real quick help from someone who used/uses Mackie HR-824's when mixing. I have a pair and they are sitting about 2 feet and 7 inches away from where i am listening from. I think this effects the way I am supposed to be hearing my mix. What setting on the back of the monitors do you...

Everyday I see new post in this forum, and it gets me closer and closer to being as good as the pros. I ask questions after questions, but still something is missing. I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! After being lazy, I uploaded an example song that I recorded for my friends using a Jay Z instrumental beat...

I heard this song this summer and the track is amazing. Its been played on the radio and is entitled "Ooh Aaa Remix" by a group named "3pc" out of Chicago. I am trying to achieve a song close to theirs. I heard that they didnt have an excellent studio facility and high end keyboards when doing...

Im currently using Cool Edit Pro 2 and sometimes Nuendo when I record and sequence my vocals and my instruments. I'll record the chorus part of the song and get it sounding good but I have a problem. If I want to loop the chorus and put the same chorus after another verse... I find myself using...

As we know, with rap especially, punch-ins occur do to breath controll and other factors. Heres the problem. My artist I record do punchin's at a local pro studio and they come out nice, but for some reason when I use the same punch method at home the various takes have different volumes; even...

Hey guys, I was just reading that one Sonusman thread and it covered a lot of issues. I've also noticed that most of the questions that exist in this forum come from engineers who want to know all the "tricks" to fixing problems in the mix. Im a novice engineer, but I have a nice understanding...

I have the Antares Mic Modeler, but a lot of people claim that it doesnt do a good job at what it says. I have an AKG Solid Tube microphone with a ART Tube MP preamp. I want to know some tips and/or settings to use on Rap or R&B vocals, if this thing works! My main question is which microphone...

Ive been using Cool Edit Pro 2 for wav editing and I noticed that the multitrack has great features. I would use it's multitrack instead of Nuendo's if only I could figure out how to lower the lag I get when I try to mix in the multitrack. The screen jumps and the audio's skip. The help option...

Mannnnn; I've been an R. Kelly fan for years and I really want to base some of my demo production on his work. I listen to track on the "R" album such as "Get Up On A Room" and "Etcetera", and how the drum patterns are sooooo simple but his pianos and stuff fill the track up. How does he do...

I have an unfinished beat with a brass riff that I played using my Korg Triton. For some reason, it doesnt sit in my mix correctly and it bothers me to continue making the track without knowing what to do. I tried a lil reverb but maybe I did it wrong. The brass part comes in hard but doesnt...

I posted this in another part of the board so just check it out and tell me what you think. Ow yeah, the crackle at the begining was made on purpose, LOL. **FIXED LINK-------- http://www.nowhereradio.com/raydio/singles

I just mixed this Christmas song that I recorded in my closet using an AKG Solid Tube Mic, ART TubeMP preamp, SB Audigy, recorded and edited it using Cool Edit Pro2, and mixed it in Nuendo. I used majority Waves Native Bundle for my compression. The mix sounds alright to me, but I know this...

My computer has an alright setup as far as memory and speed goes. For some odd reason, even when Im just in the monitoring stage; when I scroll through the main browser that displays the tracks, my computer scrolls through it soooo choppy that when I want to edit a certain track in detail, its...

I have an AKG SolidTube and an Art TubeMP preamp running into my computer running Nuendo and sometimes CEPro2. Im recording in a closet, but I added a few elements to deaden the reverb in the room. For some odd ass reason when I record vocals in the booth I get this electric humming backround...

Whats up; Im having a little difficulty editing my vocals in Nuendo. I currently record and clean up my vocals in Cool Edit Pro2 and do my mixing in Nuendo. I have a rap song, and the artist wants the instrumental to mute on certain words he says, mainly to let the good parts of his lyrics stand...

Ok, I have 4 separate vocal parts on 4 separate tracks. I want to know how to mix all 4 vocals down into one track. I have Nuendo and I'm fairly new to using it. The reason I want to mix the 4 tracks down into one is to save memory because my instrumental along has over 16 sounds. Help!!! LOL.

Whats up guys, this may sound childish, my my idiotic buddy is over here debating my use of the compressor. To settle this, all who know answer this very simple question. Is 1-5ms of attack considered to be a slow attack or a "fast" attack setting? Same with release, would 100ms-500ms of release...

I make hip hop beats and when I have a niced compressed kick & snare, along with nice percussion elements and a melody; when I had a hi hat to add life and fullness to the beat, the hi hat just doesn't sit in the mix right. I hear commecial CDs where the hats are low but present enough for you...

OK, I have an unfinished beat but I want to know what I can add to make it more full. Instruments? Effects???? I also want to know your opinion of the track so far. Well thanks, and keep the feedback coming. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2025&alid=-1...

Whatsup guys, I have a problem that I've noticed a lot of other novice producers/beatmakers have when it comes to making a beat and mixing it correctly. When I have a mixdown of a drum pattern containing a bass drum, a snare, hi hats, and added 8 bar guitar melody, and other cute percussion...
