    "Vampire Season"

    http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6427286 ---------------------------- I'm going to re-record the guitar part, tried to come up with something in one take. Also, I'm not sure how to EQ the cello when it's in the same range as my voice. Is it generally better to do subtractive on the...

    Have trouble with VST drums

    My problem with it currently is getting the vocals right (I could be louder one place especially) and give the drums more kick and presence, which I can't figure out at the moment, which I would probably have an idea of doing if I knew how to EQ each drum separately. I'm using the Compressor...

    Options for recording piano with an sm57 and at4047?

    It's an upright, which makes it tougher than miking a grand? Should I angle the piano so it's not parallel with a wall? The room's about 9x15x12. All sides are parallel. The doorway is really wide and opens into a foyer with a high ceiling ~20 ft. I'm considering using a softsynth instead so I...

    Recommendations for piano VST or reverb plugin?

    I'm looking for a decent piano VST. I don't have the right room to record my piano, plus it's an upright, which makes getting a decent sound out of it tougher....I'm not sure if it's worth the tradeoff though...not that great acoustics for piano or a softsynth that sounds fake?

    Recording my Alesis Micron with Audacity and Firebox

    Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I'm really technologically maladroit, so please be patient with me. I just got my Micron today used from ebay without the instruction manual. I try plugging an instrument cable from the headphone jack of my micron to line 3 in of my firebox, then trying...

    Just got a Micron--alesis SR16 for drums?

    I'm wondering if I can create drum tracks using the Micron? Or if getting a drum machine would be a good idea?

    MIDI controller connection to synth module

    I'm a newbie at MIDI controllers, so bear with me...I'd like to use my Axiom 61 with my Roland XV3080 synth module..but when I hooked it up there wasn't any sound. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.

    How would I record keyboard with 4-track analog portastudio?

    Would I plug the keyboard directly into the headphone jack for my Fostex x-12? Or can I only do it or it would sound more natural if I recorded my keyboard amp?

    New to acoustic guitar amplification

    I was wondering if I should install pickups on my current Norman B18, or if I'd get a better sound if I just bought an acousto-electric--this one: Also do I have to get an amp specifically for acoustic guitar. What would happen if I plugged it into a keyboard amp? Would something blow up? Do...

    Keyboard practice amp?

    Can anyone recommend me one in the $250-$350 range? Or is it possible that I can connect my studio monitors to the keyboard? I'm planning on getting an Alesis Micron, but don't know what to expect in turns of onboard speaker volume.

    Alesis Micron vs. Microkorg

    I'm looking for a synth. The problem is that I don't know which one I should get if I'm not looking to do electronic music without vocals, but at the same time I don't want it to sound cheesy if I record a song with it. Am I looking in the wrong direction if I don't want it to sound cheesy with...

    No point of monitors without a good room?

    I got a pair of KRK RP5's, but don't have a room that's set up for flat frequency response, or whatever you call it. I think I got the dreaded Gear Acquisition Syndrome when I decided to pursue recording. I got a part-time job to also pay for 2 AT4047 mics and a Firebox, but don't even have a...

    Axiom - need to download patches?

    I'm confused about MIDI. Since I got a MIDI controller--an Axiom, not a synth, I have to have to download sounds instead of using the "onboard" sounds? Cubase comes loaded with VST instruments, right? So can I still create music without having to download additional stuff?

    Have Axiom plugged into both Firebox and USB

    My Axiom didn't come with a power adapter, so I have it plugged into the USB for power. Will this interfere with my software recognizing it through my Firebox? I try to record using Ableton Live Lite 6, but I press down on the keys and nothing happens.

    Getting drum tracks onto a standalone digital recorder?

    I'm thinking of getting a Fostex MR8 HD, but don't know how I'll get drum tracks. Could I somehow do drum sampling with software like Ableton Live and my Axiom 61 and get the track onto the recorder, then record electric guitar over that? Or can I connect a drum machine like an Alexis SR into...

    Has anyone tried out the Godin Triumph before?

    I'm thinking of getting my first electric guitar, and I hear Godin's a good company for price to quality ratio. Any recommendations?
