*update* Two examples can be found here: http://members.home.nl/vangeelen/bassonly/ They are only sketches; I'm still learning and arranging the parts. I'm doing a small project for myself that has a strange instrumentation. What I'm doing is recording a couple of up-tempo orchestral pieces on...

So I finally got me a DMP3. Worth every penny. Ï love it! However, when I DI my bass through it, the level is so high, even on the lowest gain setting (+6db) it's clipping the input of my soundcard. And it's just a passive bass! It becomes even worse when I use my envelope filter infront of it...

I need some help. Today I got my new preamp (DMP3) and headphone amp (ART HeadAmp V) in the mail. Great service from Thomann! Now I thought I had it figured out but turns out I don't. First here's a list of my gear and how it's currently routed: Mic balanced XLR out -> balanced XLR preamp...

We all know the mojo (be it true or not) happens in analogue gear and that the coming of digital gear has introduced some coldness as some might say. However, I still read alot of questions on these boards that seem to be extremely easy to fix in the digital domain, or not even present at all...

So I finally went with 20 square meters of 4,5cm thick rockwool panels (rockstud 204 actually) because i've been searching for a while and it was cheap (45 euros for 20 square meters is pretty cheap in my book). However, it's not that strong. It breaks easily and tears when bend, to I have to...

Finally, I've found two sources in europe that have the wharfedales (both the 8.1 pro and the 8.2 pro monitors) and that seem to have them in stock aswell: http://www.musik-kabel-licht.de/index.html?target=dept_227.html&lang=de 339 euro's for a pair ex. shipping. It doesn't get much better than...

just a quick question. I figure no because rock isn't conductive either, but I just wanted to check. Thanks :)

Today, 3 new products to silence my PC arrived. I have bought quite a few over the last 2 years and here's some reviews for those interested. My goal was to cheaply but effective reduce the noise my PC makes to a level where recording a meter from it would not be a problem. I have purchased...

Ben Logan got me a sample of his new Electro Harmonix tube mic pre, and here it is: http://members.home.nl/vangeelen/ehxpre/sleepingbagclip.wav Approx 5.5 megs. Any comments Ben?

So, today was the big day: the presentation at school in which I presented my product that we had to make this semester. The assignment was to make a song that is currently chart-sensitive. I tried many different things but it always seem to be too much my own thing and not enough "the world's...

My school (and recording rooms) are accross a guitar store. I wanted to do an acoustical recording in a nicely reverberant room, but my acoustic guitar ain't top notch. So I jumped over to the guitar store to see if I could maybe borrow something a bit better. I had my eye on an 600$ Epiphone...

I just got DFH2 and am very pleased with the sound, however, DAMN drumming using a keyboard is hard! There is no way in hell (;)) I'm gonna be able to get a decent groove out of my fingers with just the keyboard, and piano-roll style editing seems like a huge time-eater. So I'm thinking about...

Local guitar store just got about 6 of these. I was amazed at their quality. Pricerange from 600 to 1000 euros. The 650 euros model I tried out was amazing! Highly recommended. If you have a chance, try them out. Just a heads up.

I am a Cubase man. However, I know that the most used sequencers in the pro music bussiness are Logic and Pro Tools. At my school my teacher keeps telling us to widespread capable of software handing, in other words, learn Logic and Pro Tools. I have the option to use these programs at school...

Lately I've been looking into alot of different sequencers and recording programs. But before I go on, let me explain at which point on the ladder I am: I started working with software audio about 3 years ago. My first touch with this magic was with Hammerhead Rythm Station, a stand alone...

Cash is coming my way, in three loads. First two should come in at around the same time, both 250 euro's each. The third one could come in anytime between now and half a year from now. That'll be 500 euro's. So, ofcourse, I have been pondering on what gear to get from the cash (what? I can buy...

I'm making some music for an animation that is about a character in a retro computer game. This is the first concept I made. It is made entirely with VSTs from www.tweakbench.com (old nintendo sound chip emulations). There was no signal processing apart from a hard limiter on the master to make...

After have spend a while posting on these boards, mainly giving and recieving help with home recording, I think it's time I let hear some of my stuff. I made this concept a few weeks ago. My goal is a to make something that will fit into the charthits of today. Think Natasha Beddingfield, Nelly...

My new old Sennheiser mic - with clips! I traded an Audio Technica 36r pro for an old Sennheiser MD21 a couple of weeks ago. It is an old dynamic omni mic, used mostly by reporters back in the day. It look like a 421 but without the iron bar accross the middle of the grill. I bought it mainly...
