How are the drums recorded? If you mic'd a kit, good job, but I'd like to hear them dominate the mix rather than the guitars. Good tones on the guitars, but it sounds like the guitar player mixed this little snippet. And of course, More Bass.

Here is a link to a laptop similar to mine. Refurbished: HP Elitebook Folio 1040 G1 Core i7-4600U 2.9GHz 8GB 256GB 14.0" Laptop Grade B - Newegg.com I didn't realize the processor was dual core instead of quad core. However, it didn't miss a beat when I recorded an entire gig with my band...

Oh yeah, I can relate to the tech guy situation. I am that tech guy in my day job, and windows/pc's can frustrate me at times. Try telling a doctor or a research PhD how to tell the difference between a firewire connector and a USB connector.... over the phone. :( There are some laptops that...

GB is convenient and easy to start out with but I see it more as a toy rather than a capable DAW program. I think you would outgrow it quickly. I personally would not consider recording with a tablet, but I guess it is doable. You seem like you are an Apple guy, which is fine, but you...

Welcome to the world of UAD. The best plugs on the planet. I want to downsize a little. Get a smaller UAD Apollo Twin and I'll be listing my current Apollo Duo Firewire on eBay soon. But first, I thought I would give anyone here the opportunity to buy it at a cheaper price. Here is the UAD...

Hey Guys, I listed a Behringer FCB1010 on eBay. Used but in good condition. I used it as a DMX light controller. Built my own controller and no longer need the FCB1010. berhinger fcb1010 | eBay

I'll move it over. Songs start in different ways for me. It could be a guitar riff, a melody, a line of lyrics, a hook.

I use EZDrummer and mostly stick to the canned grooves they provide. I'll go in to edit a few hits here or there, but for me, the canned grooves are good. They didn't used to be that way. When EZDrummer first came out, I basically edited the entire drum track to get something useful. It was...

Man, my old guitar player had the Supro 2x12. What a great sounding amp that was... Hope you get your grounding issue fixed. I finally found my issue after like 8 years. I would only get it when I plugged the keyboard into my interface. Turns out the interface, PC, etc were all going through a...

You should be able to hear yourself and the track you're singing to. You will want to find a way to get the right balance between the two so you can sing your best. Welcome to the site.

If you're trying to match volume levels of other artists on YouTube or Spotify, you're going to need to use the same tools as them. My recommendation would be not to try to get the max volume when recording and mixing. Keep the levels at -18dbfs as suggested earlier. Get a good mix and don't...

You can use a Limiter or Maximizer type plug on the main bus to get the volume up.

Funny this thread popped back up, I recently finished my MIDI DMX light controller. I used the Teensy 3.2 board, a few switches and LED's. There was code already written for the board, but I learned some of it then customized it to fit my purposes. The second pic shows what my brain must...

My guitar player has a few Joyo pedals and has no complaints about them. I would have worried about reliability being an off-name brand and all, but in the 3 years I've played with him, they haven't failed. For home studio stuff, I use a digitech RP150 to emulate stompboxes; i don't use the...

I was using a behringer FCB1010, but it is big and awkward and overkill for the application. It inputs into my laptop where I have a program called QLC+ running. The QLC+ program runs a USB to DMX adaptor that go out to the lights. I got mine from Amazon for ~$20. It does exactly the same thing...

Yeah, my reply was based more on the coincidence that I was working on one when I read your post. :) The two controllers you listed definitely seem better suited to what you need. If I were to choose, I'd go for the Tech21 based on name recognition. They make the Sansamp line of products which...

Are you much of a DIYer? Can you build your own midi foot controller? Cutting holes, installing switches, wiring them up, programming a microcontroller? I'm literally finishing up a midi foot controller for DMX lights when I read your post. (letting some glue dry) I mostly followed this video...

Another approach would be to build a plug for the trem hole. They way I would do it (and I've done it once before) would be to make a plug, but a little bigger than the tremolo hole you're filling. Be sure you have the height of the plug correct so it fills the depth of the trem hole, or...

Which body? Got a link?

Yeah, you can use tung oil. It will work well with the neck or fretboard. You'll have to let it dry. That might take a while. A week, more maybe. You'll need to google to confirm, but I think you cannot put lacquer on tung oil, but Poly is okay.. after the oil dries. Hell, you can put poly on...
