drums could use some reverb and eqing. and some help with timing. the snare does not 'snape' at all. vocals sound a little distant and dead. try maybe giving the bass some mids for a little punch. nice guitar sound it sounds fat and like it will fit into most mixes pretty well. overall...

which two do the same thing? fruity loops is not the same as acid cooledit is not the same as soundforge but i agree that i don't think these were purchased.

i have a big hard drive and i just partition it into smaller drives. i do that just because i don't want to lose all my audio if my computer crashes. that way i can just reformat the program side and leave the audio alone. is there any other reason to have a second hard drive?

i know this is an open ended question, but i want to know about all types of comps and eqs in various price ranges. and i like that you only commented on what you have used. i've heard good things about symetrix. has anyone used them? what do you think? colored/transparent/in the middle...

i'm not trying to be a jerk, this is meant to be helpful... is this possibly your first 'nice' pre? if so, good pres are more detailed and tend to pick up all the noise in the room. hence, if you have a fairly noisy room they will amplify that noise as well as the good noise coming out of the...

ok, stupid question, but i'll bite... go with the tried and true: RNP - 2 channel clean $475 DMP3 - 2 channel in the middle (clean/colored) $119 i personally think the DMP3 might be really cool for rap. side note - i'm not a rap fan, but any musician (which any recording engineer should be)...

you've gotta let the NTK warm up. i let it go for at least 30 minutes before i start tracking. it also must go through a good pre to do it justice-goes for any mic though. i've run it through neutral pre's (RNP), colored (UA 610), and in between (DMP3) and it sounds great through any. good...

i use protools and i want a sperate sound card that will do midi outside of protools. it has to be able to input midi then have an output i can connect to the protools interface. i currently have an SB audigy for games and stuff. is there any way i can use that for midi? if not what is a...

i got one awhile ago, and the B channel makes a staticy noise when i turn the knob. it hasn't effected the sound of the recording, but it's super annoying.

i was reading that the RNP is electronically balanced inside the box. does that mean i don't have to use balanced 1/4 inch cables? can i just use regular unbalanced cables and still have a balanced output? also, along the same lines. on my computer's hardware setup should i put the RNP at...

i actually like the sm57 on acoustic for some things. anyway, my first condenser was an oktava MK 319. i thought it was the greates mic in the world. as i've grown up i realize it's not, but i still like it a lot and it sorta has a nostalgic place in my heart. the first mic i fell in love...

go with the slower speed if it's a big price difference. 1.8 is pretty fast anyway. you can run two sound cards in one computer. the SB will be good for games and other non-recording applications. it will suck for recording. you will not need to take it out. some manufactures will let you...

i have an RNC as well as a few plug-in comps that i like (C1, RCL). other than the standard (LA-2A, 1176), what are some good compressors that you guys like (colored/transparent/optical/etc)? as far as EQ's i only use plug ins (waves REQ, and Q10). what are some nice rack EQ's i could look...

my favorite company hands down is martin guitars. great service great guitars great history... i also really like Rode, they make some great mics for pretty cheap. as far as racks go, UA is one of my favorites. their 610 sounds awesome. anyone who doesn't put shure on this list doesn't...

i feel like a dork saying this to someone of your calibare, but mastering can't fix what tracking and mixing have messed up...(i'll stand back now as the flames engulf me)...no, i think you are one of the better engineers here, but we all know you're only as good as your weakest link.

sure you're gonna miss out on some freqencies, but overall you'll get a good idea of what the song sounds like. the levels will come through just fine, the tone of each instrument should remain pretty much the same. aside from that, most of us listen to music in the car or through computer...

i think i use everything possible. PT - for tracking and mixing wavelab - for some editing projets and 'mastering' cubase - for midi sound forge - when i'm at my friend's house sonar - when i'm at another friend's house reason - for loops and sounds battery - for drums b4 and pro52 - for synths...

my favorites (on a taylor 514) - light martin marque bronze - cheap and good. they just don't last more than a month of moderate playing, so you're gonna be changing strings a bunch.

yeah i'm an anchorer, but i try my best not to be. it looks bad and it limits the range of motion for the hand. for instance the hand can't move up and down or from front to back of the strings as easily. if you have a choice...don't become an anchorer.

i have an audigy card (came with the computer) how do i hook up a midi keyboard, or how to i make the midi work with it? if you can't tell i have no idea how to use midi.
