    acoustic foam placement.

    I've heard talk of velcro, but not much. Not sure if that's better than t-pins, but I have the same prob, so I'm glad this thread is up.

    a little Help! with room treatment

    Well, my current profession is remodeling(gotta get that degree somehows). I replace about a million windows a week. :mad: Are you suggesting that I can use old windows that I get for free for bass traps? :eek: That kinda cool. The only other person in the world that talks to me in that...

    a little Help! with room treatment

    Thanks, I think I will go with making my traps. I've also come across a theory that they work better because they allow waves BEHIND the structure from over the top or bottom so you have two surfaces working for you. Sounds reasonable.

    a little Help! with room treatment

    I have an 11 by 11 room I plan on using. I've spent some time looking at room treatment options, but can't seem to make to best budget concious decision. Would this auralex kit be sufficient? http://www.music123.com/Auralex-DST-D36-Roominator-Kit-i95457.music I would like to pick up some other...

    m-audio's ozone and cakewalk

    So I just picked one up on e-bay for $135. I wanted something that I could take with me on vacation or when I'm having manic moments away from home. "Fuck you!, Ned!(the boss) I'm on my lunch break" Anyways, has anyone used this with FL 4 or 5? I've always mouse clicked synth melodies in piano...

    psychoacoustics

    Aha! Yessir, playing with the predelay is doing something nice. Since I posted my question I tried sending my different tracks to different instances of cakewalk soundstage with the only thing different being where I had the sound source in my room and that's OK, but I never have it 100% wet...

    psychoacoustics

    the biggest problem bothering me lately is that I just can't seem to make my mixes sound like a band playing in front of you. I have several reverbs that I use but to no avail it just sounds like someone took a boombox into a large room and played my one-dimentional mix. What's the deal? I...

    A few words will do it, maybe (vox)

    I'm "experienced" in mixing instruments but not vox. Right now I'm using a carvin tube mic and a samson CO1. I am just wondering if anyone can tell me some things I would be looking for in a proper vocal track. What i(think i) know: keep lead vox mono, antares autotune is no good. What I'd like...

    Mixing help

    oh yeah Until you've sorted all this out, its a good idea to keep the volume control right up top so you can see how your soundcard feels about the whole mess. Good luck and let me know what you did to fix it.

    Mixing help

    yes, the cakewalk family I had the same exact problem with Guitar Tracks 1(ah, those were the days, when whatever I did was just so cool). Back to reality, set up your sound card right. There's a tab up top under audio. Remember when u first loaded the prog and it said "We're gonna take 5 years...

    Compression- what am I listening for?

    Thankyou I've been reading/posting on this board for a week or so and I've been learning so much that I've been opening up my old cakewalk files just to remix things and see if I really am learning right. I guess the best way to describe my situation is that I have "swiss cheese knowledge" and...

    Compression- what am I listening for?

    I know compression can help a recording sound more cohesive(or I've been told so) but what am I listening for to know whether I've overdone it or not? I'll be honest when I say I don't know a whole lot about what I'm doing, but I'm trying to learn all I can so any info on proper ways to use...

    whats so special about Waves plugins???

    I also use waves I'm not all that experienced, but I like what I can do with waves. I find I get the most use out of the 10 band eq, C1, C2, C3, C4, RCL and Audiotrack. I'm not fond of the delays I have, tho.

    Recording vocals in a room with constant background noise.

    This is the beginning of many frustrations You may find it just plain less stressful to find actors in your area. I mean, you do want this project to be fun right? Maybe you could try going to an independent play house, I have several in my area. Calling up local schools and talking to the...

    A little help in sculpting ambient sounds

    Cool and thanks I did the doubling deal with the shorter decay and eqed the second one a bit higher. I have a plugin that lets you put the sound anywhere in the feild so I also placed the bassier version more towards the center and the higher version on the outsides it gives it a nice...

    A little help in sculpting ambient sounds

    I checked out your song. I liked what I heard. It was Grateful Dead strumming and I don't know what was making me think Floyd but sumthin was. I like the tone on the distorted guitar, too. Was that you singing?
