    New track. I can't decide if its crap or not.

    I'm playing around with this little instrumental idea. I wasn't going for any particular sound although it seems to have evolved towards a world-music type of feel. I'm not overly sure about the arrangement or production. I was thinking perhaps it is overly busy? All comments are appreciated :-)...

    ROCK (Pre vocals) - Are the drums ok?

    Hey everyone, Was wondering if you'd all give this (pre-vocal) track a listen. Unfortunately, I had to program the drums, because I don't have access to a huge studio/live in a very noisy neighbourhood. So basically, rip this track apart...cringe at the drum samples, fret at the horrible guitar...

    Please help, monitor speaker possibly knackered

    Hi, I have a 6-week old pair of BX5a m-audio monitors. Problem is every once in a while, the right monitor (both tweeter and woofer) cuts out but is accompanied by a sort of `quiet' but present rumbling sound that you can feel by lightly touching cone. Then, for days on end, there is no sound...

    Getting a punchier bottom end

    Hi, I'm using JAMIN software (30 and 1200 band EQs, low, mid and high band compressions, limiter and maximiser) to "master" my home recordings. Whilst I seem to be able to add plenty of sheen and get really nice wide mixes, they seem to lack in punch at the bottom end. I don't know if I should...
