What you need to consider about mixing w/headphones is that you're not getting a true sense of space. When you're mixing with headphones, you're really mixing FOR headphones. You have the sound source right up next to your ears, so you're not able to get a true stereo sense of what your mix...

It's 59.8%, I swear, someone just told me that today.

Yeah keep the piano, it probably sounds fine without it, but it's nice to have it there, makes the piece stand out more. There's just a WHOLE LOT of plain acoustic/vocal acts out there and it all sort of starts to sound the same after awhile. Having the piano there stops it from sounding like...

Check out a band called Vomitron and their metal versions of old 8-bit classics like Contra and the theme from Ghostbusters, they're great. The links I have were to the "on-hiatus" mp3.com site, so you'll have to google/Kazaa/torrent/whatever it. (omg piracy!) ;)

Since you seem to be looking at a low-budget solution, take a look at the M-Audio Audiophile 2496. I don't own one (I own their 1010lt, like it), but it's name comes up a LOT around here, there's a ton of people who swear by it, especially considering the price, $150...

You'll never get me to replace my DOD Grunge pedal! NEVER! lol...

I like it, not bad for a first recording. Plus, they only get better from here. A couple critiques (that's why you posted this, right?) ;) 1) Dry up the vocals. Everyone has a tendency to drench their vocals in effects when they first start recording themselves, I know I did. No one likes...

Kind of an interesting comparison, a nu-metal guy playing really complex drum parts versus a punk/straight-ahead rock guy playing simple parts... That being said, I'd have to go with Grohl -- the guy is an ANIMAL. Nirvana went though something like 5 or 6 different drummers until Grohl came...

Power chords are arranged root, 5th, root, the second root being an octave higher than the first: -----R-- -----5-- -R------ So what he means by octaves (pretty sure) is to just take out the 5th, and mute that string (works best for me with the index finger): -----R-- -----X-- -R------ Makes...

.... whatever. Anyways, thanks for your help Moonrider and punkin, very much appreciated. I'll be looking into getting an adapter for my computer speakers for now (till I get situated), and using a DXi for my MIDI tracks (SONAR has a pretty good helpfile on that process, so I think I should...

Yeah I've considered a bunch of different "buy something extra" options, but I'm getting ready for a move soon so I'm trying to save money and just work around it without having to buy anything.

thanks for the info, much appreciated

... okay, let's start over here. Hi, I'm something cool, I'm a Libra, I like daffodils, candy corn, and long walks on the beach. My Delta 1010lt and SB Audigy don't like each other. I have two questions. 1) Where do I extract the files and/or how do I install the new drivers from M-Audio's...

Okay so I bought a Delta 1010lt a couple of weeks ago, good card, sounds good, easy to install, good value, yadda yadda. Anyway, I still have my SB Audigy installed (no mixer or powered monitors yet, so I'd like to hear something), and they don't seem to like each other much. If I try...

Okay, so I'm sure I'm just missing something really obvious and stupid here, but what exactly is the difference between the Delta 66 and the Delta 1010lt? Seems like the 1010lt has more features, ins/outs, and connections than the 66, yet it's $20 cheaper on zzounds (though it lists $100 higher...

I got my feet wet with MOTU Digital Performer 3 at school on a Mac, and I like that program a lot (especially for MIDI work), but the more I work with and learn about Sonar 3 Studio on my PC at home, the more I love it. It's a breeze to learn the basics using the included tutorials, and the...

DP has a *much* nicer, more streamlined interface. Easier to work with. As far as the overall quality between the two, that'll be for other forumgoers to discuss.

First off, thanks for the sugesstions. As you can see, I know basically nothing. Type of music? I'm mostly a rocker/metalhead but I'm also into an industril/goth type of sound and electronic music, as well as softer more melodic stuff. And the diff between analog/v.a./sample-based? nope...
