    Home Recording Label, idea

    I'm thinking we allow home recording members who have been so for at least a year free access to the promo label, (too keep out the freeloaders), and push a big community type site specializing only home recording musicians. What I'd really like to see is some more direct communication between...

    How much do you make in this (music) business?

    I have sold precisely 3 albums. Closer to $30ish after cost. Now if you deduct the amount I paid for my studio.. My balance should land somewhere around -$12970. Yay!

    Home Recording Label, idea

    As a home recording musician with a certified 2 sales on cdbaby, I am intimately familiar with how difficult getting exposure is. I've spent countless hours and one heck of a lot of money trying to get my music out there for the past few months.. Specifically to gain fans- not necessarily to...

    My First Album!

    I can comment that I just love this mic. I spent a good amount of time with different mics, wondering what filters or effects I needed to get my voice to sound good. Then I got this mic, and problem solved. Turns out I didn't need filters or effects. I just needed a good mic. And this mic...

    My First Album!

    Hey everybody. It's been a long time since I've been here looking for microphone advice.. but I wanted to come by and share the fruits of my labor. I'm currently on itunes and soon to be a variety of stores. I go by the alias "Five Nines" which is a solo project. Here's a copy of my album if...

    virtual drums

    I have to recommend Battery 3. It's got 2 dvds of amazing sounding drum samples. Multiple hit samples for a lot of the main kits, and good humanizing settings, makes it pretty indistinguishable from a real drummer. For plugin: Stand-alone, Audio Units, VST, DXi, RTAS under Pro Tools 7, ASIO...

    please help newbee... first computer studio

    My recommendation, if you don't mind dabbling in putting together your own pc, is hit up newegg for your PC. I'd be happy to review parts with you to make sure stuff works (disclaimer, I am not affiliated with newegg). I, personally, prefer FLstudio due to free upgrades. It works with asio, so...

    So I got the Shure KSM27

    Well, I got the KSM27 finally, and let me tell you! What a difference! It was like night and day! Now my vocals don't sound as rough. Maybe it was just the combo of the mic with my voice, but the beta87a made everything sound muddy, and slight variations in pitch sounded like glaring problems...

    My new setup-

    Ok well, just a quick follow up. I was going to buy the ksm 27 for $299 which is it's sale price on zzounds: http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--SHUKSM27 But then I found it on Musician's friend for $199. I didn't even hesitate. If anybody else is in the market for a KSM 27, right now is...

    My new setup-

    Actually I found a tube preamp for about the price of that solid state I was looking at. Any thoughts on this one? http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--ARTTMPPS I'm going to try to push the order over $400 to finance it. :) Either that or the audiobuddy...

    My new setup-

    Well I found a couple neat tricks- 1. My Preamp was broken. The knob didn't work and everything was recorded with about 20% preamp. I didn't realize this, and when recording I just boosted the signal in post. After switching to a different preamp (same model mixer, but my friend had it), it...

    My new setup-

    Is there truely any advantage to an outboard compressor vs a VST software compressor? Edit: Let me rephrase: Is there any advantage that actually makes the compressor worth about the price of the mic? Or could I get by just fine with software compressors? As for room treatment- I've got a...

    My new setup-

    So I'm buying my new setup- after this thread: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=275979 and I just want some last minute advice on this. Unless somebody says otherwise, I'm replacing the Beringer mixer and mic in this setup: Shure beta 87a -> Beringer mixer (not sure model) ->...

    My Vocals Suck, Tips?

    Hey guys! Thanks for all the responses. I'm def going to look into a new mic AND preamp! As for the song I linked- it was an example of my higher voice which I think records well, even when I'm a bit flat. Here's an example of the BEST recording I could do with my mid ranges. It's not bad, but...

    Thanks for all the replies! Can somebody explain the core difference between the preamp in a behringer mixer vs a dedicated mic preamp?
