    Macbook air

    I don't think a Macbook Air will make a primary recording machine is you're planning on running anything besides maybe a dozen audio tracks. I have a Late-2012 Macbook Pro, and it gets pretty sad when it has to process a lot of VST instruments (roughly 6 before I have to freeze tracks) although...

    Hiss on home PC recording

    Is the hiss coming from your playback? Or is it actually in the recorded file? If so you can try filtering it out.

    how do you get that Zed Leppelin sound?

    Lol the Zed Leppelin thing was the joke I'm surprised no one caught it until now :D With that said - I appreciate the input but I'm not trying to (nor have I ever tried to) sound like John Bonham. I don't even really listen to Zeppelin. Sorry for the confusion. But I'm sure a couple of...

    What should I do with this Roxul??

    About two years ago I bought some Roxul to build bass traps in my corners. And a gobo or two. But life got I'm the way and I never had time to build the frames and all that. So now two years later, the Roxul is still in my attic and I have a gigantic roll if burlap in my closet. I'm ready to...

    how do you get that Zed Leppelin sound?

    I've been waiting 2 years for that reply to this thread! It's nice to see this though. It makes me realize that I have in fact learned a lot about recording over that last two years even though they feel kind of useless sometimes. Shortly after this I bought a pair of SM81s from moresound...

    Comparing my track to the bands previously recorded material, any ideas?

    Alright, got ya. Yeah, I think it's best to avoid monitoring and mixing at loud levels for a number of reasons. The main reason being that everything tends to sound good when it's loud on your system (monitors or headphones whatever), but it falls apart once you go to a normal or quieter level...

    Comparing my track to the bands previously recorded material, any ideas?

    Might I ask how you mix? Monitors? Headphones? Loud levels?

    Comparing my track to the bands previously recorded material, any ideas?

    Well, I listened and I'll be honest - the track you mixed sounds really thin. The drums sound muffled, but I'm not sure that's something you can fix if they were recorded like that. No element in the mix really stands out. Depending on how the guitars were recorded, I still think it can be...

    Grammy without a major label. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Anybody know how?

    Sorry for being late. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan, but I do like them. Or at least their story and dedication. And they seem like decent enough guys. Unlike some other pop stars. You've got the main points - hard work, building their "brand" blah blah blah - but the one thing that nobody's...

    Have drugs ever enhanced your creativity as a songwriter or player ?

    Also I don't know that I could justify the cost of drugs. Every spare dollar goes to more cables and strings.

    Have drugs ever enhanced your creativity as a songwriter or player ?

    Some wine does make software sound designing a little easier for me. you can only stare at a screen for so long before you get sidetracked with email etc. etc. etc. etc. HR etc. etc.

    FS: Shure SM57 (with padded bag) and Behringer XM8500 with XLR cables $100

    I'll upload pic(s) in a few hours when I'm around the mics if anyone is interested. But yeah. I bought a Rode M1 about a year ago and just don't use these. They're in excellent working and cosmetic condition and have lived their lives in my smoke free home. $100 (shipping included anywhere...

    Have drugs ever enhanced your creativity as a songwriter or player ?

    I've never actually even tried a drug (no pot, no mollys, or any of the "harder" stuff). I'll be honest - it's not something I can ever remember consciously deciding, I've just never felt like it. As time went on though I started seeing how many of my musician friends relied on drugs/alcohol...

    The RPM Challenge (Record an album in 28 days, just because you can.)

    Anyone can come up with an excuse to say “no,” so don’t. Many of you are thinking “But, I can’t do that! I don’t have any songs/recording gear/money/blah blah blah...” But this doesn’t have to be the album, it’s just an album. Remember, this is an artistic exercise. Just do your best using what...
