Thanks! The singer is myself, so of course that is nice to hear. The mic on this is an AT 4050, so yes, a mid priced condenser. What are you hearing, exactly? I think I have some high-end hearing loss so I'm curious as to whether the vocals are too bright in the highs or high-mids. I'll...

I seriously am looking for feedback here. This is the first completed mix I've done since I put together the new home studio, and particularly since I got my reference monitors set up-- I have some others in reference stages right now but they are not ready. I haven't written and recorded...

The Scarlett has been working well for me. Good choice for the money. I don't have experience with the mic you've chosen so can't comment there.

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me posting this here, since I'm kind of new to this forum. I need to do a few tweaks to the guitar parts (just flew those in last night) but I'm wondering how you like this mix so far. I am pretty happy with it and it passed the car stereo test this morning...

I am brand new here, but wanted to say that I really love this track :)

Best advice I could give would be to do some ear training with a good vocal coach. Also, hitting notes well is partly physical so if you aren't doing warm up exercises and keeping your abdominal muscles in shape it will be much harder to hit what you hear, even with a trained ear.

This is a hard question to answer without any context. I've A/B'd lots of mics and used to sell them, and what works for my voice is definitely not the same as what works for others. It's a very individual thing. My "budget" choice is still the AT 4050 but I recognize there are many other...

Wow, the Porta One, that takes me back! I'm brand new here too; had a PortaOne many years ago and did a lot of great work with it! Hope you enjoy :)

I am using a brand new iMac with USB inputs as well. I sent back a PreSonus unit because it was noisy and had lousy latency problems. Currently am using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and very happy with it. They make similar units with more inputs.

I just wrote a blog post about this. Had a song that I was struggling with for weeks and ended up pulling out bits and pieces to create entirely new songs from. Sometimes the songs write themselves… « Laura Bates Sterner Now and then they do come out as though they're writing themselves...

Hi everyone! Just wanted to drop in here for a quick intro. I'm not new to music production but have just started working again in my newly rebuilt home studio and wanted to rub elbows with some likeminded people. Hope to learn a lot from others here and perhaps share some things as well.
