    Thank You

    I've been busy working on my own thing (rhythm tracks). A family member asked me to record a couple of backing tracks, so I happily obliged. This is a rhythm track for Dido's "Thank You". This is not a final mix, but I always welcome helpful criticism...

    Smooth Jazz Bullcrap

    I've been working with Reaper, Reason 4.0, and EZDrummer. Trying to get used to recording with Reaper, using EZDrummer for drums, and using Reason for it's bass sounds. It's my take on a Norman Brown tune...very Weather Channel. It's far from fantastic. Let me know what you think...

    Running two Delta 44's with Reaper-now Windows Media plays but no sound comes out.

    Okay... Spent 6 hours chasing a fuzzy distortion in one of my Delta 44 set-ups. I was able to find info on M-Audio's forum about using an older driver with those when running XP on your machine. At least I can record a clean signal now, right? Still, something happened during the numerous...

    New to MIDI...unfamiliar territory...help, please.

    I've hit a brick wall recently. The stock drum patterns for EZDrummer are nice, but I've realized that I need to do some editing for some music I'm writing as well as some covers I've been recording for work. I'm at a complete loss when it comes to this stuff. I would like to create some drum...

    Seeking M-Audio Delta 44

    Looking for an M-Audio Delta 44 if anyone is selling one. Might be interested in a Delta 66 or Delta 1010 if the price is right and we can negotiate a sale or trade. Thanks

    Tap Tempo in Reaper?

    I'm currently trying to add some tracks to someone else's track. In the process, he'd asked me to offer up my version. I know how to set the tempo for the click, but is there a function that allows me to tap the tempo so I can establish the exact same tempo? As always, any help offered is...

    Monitor Placement

    I moved all my recording gear to another area of our home this week. I started plugging in cables and trying to get set up, when I realized that I don't "know" where I should set my monitors. (The monitors I use are KRK Rokit5 powered monitors) Is there a correct place to put my monitors in...

    Direct Recording - Guitar & Bass

    Like many, my recording situation isn't ideal for micing loud guitar amps to get a good sound. I've been direct recording pretty much this past year, and while it's not the perfect sound I have managed to find some really good sounds. I've learned a bunch...especially about what sounds I'm...

    Recording Vocals

    I've heard it mentioned a few times lately about boxy sounding amps or vocals. Seems the issue is that the amp or vocals were mic'd & recorded in a room too small. Outside of some effect issues I had on a recent tune I submitted in the MP3 forum, I feel like my vocals turned out okay. I went...

    Have A Little Faith In Me - cover

    Still trying to get used to Reaper. I decided I'd try a John Hiatt tune. Couldn't get really loud when I wanted because of other people in the house, but this turned out okay. Let me know what you think... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=927498&songID=8894306

    EZ Drummer - Have you used it?

    Has anyone here had any experience with EZ Drummer? Good? Bad? Useful? Waste of money? Let me know if you've used it and what experiences you might have had, please. Thanks...

    Can anyone suggest a relatively inexpensive external CD burner for my MR16HD?

    Fostex MR-16HD Comments

    Looks like someone near by is selling one of these. There aren't many reviews out on this particular unit, either. Anyone familiar with this model? Pros? Cons?

    Taxi.com

    Anyone here ever use taxi.com for pushing your own music (regardless of category or genre)? I've been looking at their site. I have a friend that has had a close call with getting his work used in commercials. One of his closer friends submits music regularly. I would love more input on their...

    Bass Conversion 4 + 1

    Years back, I recall there being some product (the manufacturer's name eludes me...) that allowed you to convert a 4 string bass to a 5 string bass with the existing neck, but you ended up adding a tuning machine assembly where the string tree might reside, and replacing the bridge entirely...

    Recording Direct

    While closing down last night, I realized my Mesa Boogie Mk III had a direct output. Anyone ever try recording with the direct on a Mesa? If so, what kind of results did you get?

    Isolation Box

    I'm rather hard headed, and have learned that while recording direct is easier, it just doesn't sound the same as a mic'ed speaker. I live in an apartment building, so I really need to keep the noise to a minimum. I'd love to build one, especially something I could run my Princeton Reverb or...

    Tascam DP-01FX

    Just bought a Tascam DP-01FX. Any pros or cons y'all wanna mention? I'm just getting back into home recording after many years of live performance. This sure looked like a good recorder for the cost ($489.00 tax and all at Guitar Center in Charlotte, NC). -jimbo
