So then, the idea is to get mixes that sound good in most places... If you use some great-sounding monitors which, as I understand it, don't emphasize the lows or highs or middle but play everything about equally, the theory is that if your listeners then have stereos that are too heavy or light...

I have a Shure SM-58 mic which seems to sound good on my voice. I have seen folks say an SM-57 should be used on a guitar. What is the actual difference in the two? My understanding was that the SM-57 essentially catches sound from straight above it whereas the 58 has a "rounder" field, which is...

I almost peed my pants when I saw someone advocate $1000 monitors to make sure you mixes sound good. I can't afford anything like that. Now I don't know anything about mixing yet, but see if this makes sense: the purpose of using monitors is to make sure you mix will sound good when you pop it...

Thanks for the help, guys. I decided to suck it up and buy the Audiophile, which should be on its way to me soon. I'll have to put in a few extra hours in the coal mine, but if it works properly, I think it will be worth it. :D By the way, if a FAQ is being put together, a list of cards with...

Well the only sound software I have right now is Multiquence, which I paid to register, and if my card comes with Cakewalk Express I'll use that. (Assuming it's good; anyone know?)

I know this kind of thing gets asked a lot, but until there's a well-indexed FAQ... I am on a tight budget. I'm looking for a sound card in the $100 range to do multitrack recording. I know that's low but this will go on the credit card and I'm a college student. I want to use my little...

My apologies, the link should be as follows: http://www.angelfire.com/ga4/thebigsquid/songs.html

http://www.angelfire.com/ga4/thebigsquid/songs/songs.html Download "A Bitter Root," which right now is the only song up. This is the last song on an album which will tell the story of the prodigal son from a parable Jesus told. In this song the runaway son has finally come home after screwing...

How would I even go about checking compatibility? I don't know much about this stuff--the term "chipset" means nothing to me, for instance. I haven't bought the soundcard or the motherboard yet--maybe someone could suggest a combination of the two that would work alright. The chances are high...

So I'm about to buy a few new parts and basically have a new computer. I want to buy a motherboard/CPU combo, probably gonna do it off pricewatch.com, but some of the ones I like with Athlon chips say they come with sound built in. Is this likely to be a problem when I try to install a real...

SNARF!! "Snarf" is the verb that my friends and I use. Snarf:[snarf'] to project liquid from the nose, usu. a beverage, when laughing unexpectedly. As far as I know there is no other word for said phenomenon. We are trying to get this used widely enough that it makes it into the dictionary...

People quit responding, so here's the last thing I wrote... :) ------ Grizzly, I appreciate the info, but could you give me a few words on the memory and stuff the page refers to? Do you think my problem is related to the virtual memory etc that it mentions? How? Like I said I have a lot of...

The post office has little bubbly wrap envelopes that don't cost much, too. I used these to mail to friends. It's best to mail them from the post office rather than with stamps though since they can calculate exact weight and postage cost; if you use their envelopes it's one-stop mailing, less...

I found dozens of places searching for "CD replication" and "CD duplication" in various engines. Be warned that the cheapest place isn't always the best, though... see my message (I think called "a sad story" or something like that; search for messages by Monkey) for the gory details, but...

I had no problem downloading, printing and filling out the forms on the copyright office page, BUT if you can't get them to work, try going to the local post office and asking them for a form. It would probably be best to use the web page to decide which form you need first, as it can be a...

Grizzly, I appreciate the info, but could you give me a few words on the memory and stuff the page refers to? Do you think my problem is related to the virtual memory etc that it mentions? How? Like I said I have a lot of RAM so if I can take advantage of that fact in any way it would be...

I've got a Ricoh CD-RW and a Compaq Presario 233mhz/160MB RAM (I added a bunch). I try to burn CDs of wavs or mp3s and find that it works if I only do a couple of songs, but four or more songs cause it to zonk and have write errors. I got the drive replaced and have the same problem. Any...

If you're thinking about buying a Gibson Les Paul (as I was), and if one of the reasons is because you like the way they look (as opposed to the way a Fender Squire or something looks), check out the Gibson Blues Hawk. It is shaped like a Les Paul but it is hollow bodied. It sounds great...

Poor fellow! Let the blind lead the blind. You can record anything from midi to wav like so (once you've got the .mid file saved on the computer, you understand): 1) Start the .wav recording (click the button) 2) Start the midi playing 3) Stop both when you're done. Voila! I don't know how...

If any of you have kept up with me, I'm working on an ameateur CD this summer and mostly recording at my church. We had our first serious session yesterday. I happen to attend a large, friendly church. I realize most of you don't have the benefit of a huge, expensive sound system and a...
