This time, at M-Audio. We all love M-Audio right? Great stuff, low price, very compatable etc. I agree on all of that. But now look what I found out: DMP-3 price in the United states (ZZSound, Musician's Friend etc.): Aprox. 159 dollars DMP-3 price in Europe (Musik Produktiv, Music Store...

I gotta write a Dance Track for school (I'm studying Music Production) and MAN, that's alot of work! So much more work than making a band-style song. Writing wise, not so much, but production and mixing wise, damn that's alot of computer-hours. I got the groove, bassline and chord progression...

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that if they've written a song but don't have a bassline yet, I'm willing to record one and send it over, free of charge. I'm a bassplayer and a second-hand guitarplayer with spare time :) Just e-mail me at timvangeelen@home.nl

Here's a concept for a new song I'm writing. It's got bass, couple of acoustical guitar tracks (nylon string, didn't want to bother borrowing a steelstring from a friend, and I'm pretty pleased with this sound as it is), percussion, some samples and some subliminal tracks. I'd like any comments...

I'm the kind of bedroom recording artist that does everything himself and who we all love. Mostly, when I write a song, I start off with a guitar concept of a couple of chords with a rythm. I pop on some headphone, set the clicktrack, setup the mic(s) and start recording. All's fine up to here...

A while back, I saw a second hand Sitar on a dutch auction site for only 70 euro's, and I grabbed it. Man that thing has a sound! Resonance you won't belief and richness that can't be beat. For those that don't know what a Sitar is, it is a traditional stringed instrument from India. It has 29...

I have a Fender Mex 50's reissue strat. Bites like a mosquito and sounds crystal clear. Same goes for my 15 watt fender frontman amp (solid state). I couln't think of a better funkmachine for the price. However, I don't record funk at all. I used to love the peppers' guitar tone, to which I...

I have a question about preamps. First, let me explain two ways I use to connect my mics to my computer. Way 1: cable with XLR at one side going into an SM57 and a cinch plug at the other side going into my Terratec EWX2496 card. This works. Way 2: cable with XLR plugs on both sides, SM57 at...

Yesterday was my third time I did some live-mixing of a band. Damn that's hard and not fun. First time was a few months back in a bar that had their stuff together. Good mixer, monitors, all the cables laid out nicely, multicore mic-box. It was just a matter of plugin' in, 1 song for the...

I made a movie soundtrack a while ago using Steinberg's The Grand and Edirol Orchestral (I got to get a better string library...) http://www.clownfleur.nl/score It's pretty self-explaining, what do you think? :)

At the end of last schoolyear I decided I wanted to go study Music Technology (which is an education at a music school comparable to a college level). But to get accepted I had to write and produce three songs: A film score, a pop song and a dance song. The pop song is called Life from a...

Hey guys, I'd like some comments on this song I wrote and recorded. You can find it here: http://www.clownfleur.nl/song Here are the things I already know: - Vocals on the first part are poop, both in terms of what is beeing sung, and how it is beeing sung. - Vocals are a bit out of tune near...

Ok, here's the deal. I'm a 1-room-recording person, meaning, the place I got my mics it the same place I have my computer. Infact, when I mic, they are probably only about a meter way from my computer, and my computer humms quit a bit. So what I did was by some of this foamy nobstuff, ya know...

Ok, I know about the MS technique of recording, using a cardioride and a figure-8 mic, with a Y cable and, and with 1 channel 180 out-of-phase. Now what I don't get is how this can create a good stereo image. My logic goes like this: 3 channel, channel 1 and 2 are from the figure-8, channel 3...

I made part of a song a while ago, and I recorded a "scetch" version of the guitar and bassline. Listen to it here: http://www.clownfleur.nl/stuff/basles/Live%20from%20a%20side-view%20v3.mp3 I'm not posting this to write about my songwriting or playing skills, I would just like to know what you...

I wanna run this by you: http://www.clownfleur.nl/sneeuwbeeld/Sneeuwbeeld%20Walhalla%20Intro%20v1.mp3 First comment: to much volume difference between the beginning and peak, I know. This is a track I made for a school project. We are making a game, and in the end, you reach Walhalla. This was...

Hi guys, I'm new here, another member from Holland. I've got a question. I'm doing a big schoolproject and for a part of that I have to write and record music for a quiz. This is a scene we are going to film, and I'm doing all the audio. The vibe needs to be the most cheasiest quiz ever, it's a...
