I may just be my own worst critic but im never happy with how anythings sounding and i could fool around for hours and never get it any closer to what i want it to sound like. There are 3 or 4 stages if ive read correctly and im always stuck at level 2/3 depending on how many stages there is...

I love the whole process of making music... the recording hearing how its evolving etc.... unfortunetly im horrible at it, i have no ear for levels...doesnt matter if i use other songs for reference in my head the drums are never loud enough or the bass it too quiet when in actual fact its too...

The headphones with mic were only ever going to be used for mixing if that makes any difference ? i have a mic for recording vocals... the mic on the headphones was purely for when i decided to use them for online gaming. So is there no closed back headphones with a mic attached that is good...

So bit of a random request but thought best to ask on here. Looking for the best budget headphones with mic for recording/mixing. Reason i asked about the mic... i also play computer games online and also need a new headset... so may aswell kill two birds one stone. thanks

was just a cheap bass I bought for recording purposes im mainly a guitarist but needed a bass for the bass parts.. it's a gear4music one.

yeah it has a couple of times slid off it and landed on its back... nothing major just needed a quick retune as it went out ever so slightly, im not that capable of volume enveloping I shall have a look, was just wondering if compression only kicks in when a note is played and sometimes doesn't...

Happy new year all! Looking to sort this bass issue out im having... All my recorded bass lines seem to have a louder output when I strike the D or G string than the A and E... infact I would probably say the loudest being the G and the quietest being the E. No idea why this is happening as...

had a look that's interesting and would allow me to cut parts in and out as mentioned earlier nice one.

hey cavedog this is a track that has 3 guitars in the intro which im trying to get with my song, all his parts sound very separate from each other and even when the third one comes in it doesn't swamp the song but can still be made out clearly. despite all 3 guitars being very forward in the mix...

So ive been tampering around and I think I know what the main issue im having is... certain parts of all the tracks are too quiet or too loud depening on how hard ive strummed,plucked or hit/drum. Im guessing this is where compression plays a part stopping the tracks going above a certain level...

This is all good stuff guys ill try these little tweaks to see if I can get a little more separation. And it's true I have much less issues when im recording with clean undistorted guitars I can usually get good separation with just a little chorus and things it's just always distorted that I...

IS it something specifically about guitars and distorted ones that cause this issue more than any other instrument? I'm just listening to a few 80s synth led songs that to my ear have at least 4 or 5 different things going on at once but each are clearly audible and all have there very own...

I think my biggest problem is im giving myself too big an ask, im trying to produce a song at the same level as a radiohead track and coming up way too short. I don't particularly want all 3 guitar tracks to be fighting for the focus, however when listening to say a radiohead track... there is...

Its funny that you mention this as tonight for the first time I noticed exactly what you are talking about. I was listening to a Blur track called caramel and when listening with speakers you don't pick up on it but with headphones I could hear guitars tracks completely cut out whilst another...

Really struggling with 3 guitars all with a bit of overdrive varying from slightly to more distorted, playing counter riffs similar to the strokes/Xtc/Television/Blur. No single notes a lot of Rhythm/Lead riffs two strings etc.. and again countering each other to create an off kilter angular...

I got one and amongst the bundle pack with it..it mentions having a guitar amp simulator plugin.. however I've downloaded the whole thing and when I go through my plugins on reaper I cant find one at all and I've been through all the new plugins installed unless I'm missing something ? I'm...

Hey, so reaper has the mono switch I tend to find I have a better ear for doing levels when in mono as its all grouped together... however if I take mono off when im done it sounds off due to some tracks being panned in the stereo mix. I came to ask this really. If I pan where I want the...

hey guys this is the reply for those asking about room position etc.

I have never heard of spl what is this and how does it affect overall finish to a song ? sidenote i think I have helped the issue a little.... I never considered it until yesterday but both of my monitors were sitting high up on their stands... they would be around chest height while I was...

after some back and forth testing with my car system I've came to the conclusion its either the speakers or my room setup. When I listen to songs that sound good in the car/ other outputs.... and the guitar parts come through cleanly when listened to on the monitors at home.. the bass sound...
