Thanks for the replies folks, I'm actually thinking of saving up now and looking into some headphones around the $300 range. I was looking at the Denon AH-D2000, Sennheiser HD650, AKG K701, Shure SRH940, Beyerdynamics DT-770 Pro but I can't decide on a single pair of phones. I'm thinking the...

I want to know how bad these would be for mixing... I can get a pair for super cheap but would I be better off spending the money on a pair of less expensive headphones that give a flat response? My budget is around $200. Toss me your thoughts on what would be the best option for a good pair...

Gah! I'm so torn between the two headphones, I've been researching reviews all night and they both seem to fit my bill... but I will explain my situation further and would highly appreciate anyone with any insight/experience on these two cans give me some help in making a decision! :) Ok so...

Watch my metal guitar tone tutorial video :D How To Get a Killer Metal Guitar Tone - Sound Like the Pros in Minutes! - YouTube And then download my preset for Addictive Drums :D Addictive Drums Metal Preset V2.0 - YouTube And then watch this guy's video for awesome bass tone :D Recording metal...

Thanks Boz, will take a listen to that as well, I think I know what it is :)

Cubase 6 never lets me get over 40% CPU usage before it starts crapping out on me. Even with the buffer size set at maximum! :( I'm running a 3.06ghz first gen i7 quad. Actually... I've never really put much consideration into it, but... Is anyone able to get around a solid 80% CPU usage out...

Thanks a lot folks for the tips. Yeah I've got a screamer who can do August Burns Red sort of stuff so we'll see how that goes :P I know what you mean about breakdowns, however this song was mostly composed by a friend, I just did mixing, mastering and some additional composition. Yeah the...

hahaha! yes that pic is a personal favourite :D You are right, I showed it to my dad and he's like "derrr too bright". I did boost 8k on the guitars quite a bit... oh I'm bad :facepalm: Cymbals... too much hi-end? Too much volume? Or just too much china - hehe. Thanks for the advice, and...

Thank you sir! Appreciate the feedback. Definitely, I'll make a note of doing so.

0:55 that double hi-hat hit or cymbal coming out of the left speaker sounded a little odd. Maybe try cutting more low end from it and lowering the volume a bit. There's just something about it that didn't sit right to me. Everything else sounds superb though, guitar solo is real nice. You...

Hey guys, one of my most recent and biggest sounding mixes yet. Figured I'd post it to here to get some criticism before I get my buddy to lay some vox over it. Also... what kind of vocals could you see fitting it and at what parts? Screaming, clean, raspy, growls etc... And of course tell me...

If you're just mixing and don't care about recording latency... Set your buffer size at maximum! Most people don't realize that changing the buffer size from the normal 512 or 256 samples to the maximum (usually 3000-4000 samples) can cut down on 1/3 of your CPU usage! If you're still...

The popping and clicking is because your latency is set too low. Increase the buffer size in your ASIO control panel a bit and see if you still get any clicking and popping. 2 milliseconds is insanely good latency (if that makes any sense?). With my interface I settle for 8ms in and 8ms out...

Bought a Duet half a year ago, I had it crap out on me a couple weeks after getting it. I sent it for repair and after waiting for 3 months I finally decide to phone in to see what was taking so long. Turns out they never received my interface so I complained and got an Apogee Duet 2 for free...

Compress the guitar signal, highpass filter, boost around 8khz, scoop mids just a tad, boost a bit of low end (maybe 120hz?) add a tad of hall reverb. Standard "add presence" measures.

Presonus Audiobox hands down. Here's my reasoning. The Audiobox has a higher rating on several creditable sites, it is incased in a sturdy metal chassis and looks like a solid interface. Presonus also has a good history of making professional hardware. I have an M-Audio fast track ultra...

I don't have much time but... I have a Saffire Focusrite Pro 40, I had a faulty firewire cable and experienced dropouts and connection difficulties, as soon as I swapped out the firewire cable with a different one the unit worked like a charm. The pro 40's are notorious for shipping with faulty...

+1 for any program that can record audio. Adobe Audition Cockos Reaper Steinberg Cubase Cakewalk Sonar Heck even Audacity has some decent tools for beginners. But if you're really into the whole world of recording then I wouldn't waste my time with beginner software, see if you can get your...

On the transport panel click on the SYNC tab and make sure it says SYNC INT. (it should be located to the right of the record button on the transport panel). Same thing happened to me, my frustration slowly built up over the course of months until I finally snapped and spent some time...

If you want a user-friendly interface with quick straightforward edits and renders then go with Sony Vegas. In terms of efficiency of just straight up timeline cuts and simple effects it destroys Premiere Pro, Final cut, Pinnacle Studio, iMovie (all the other editing softwares I've tried). With...
