The panels are aprox 2'x3' acoustic ceiling tiles. They were wrapped in quilt batting from a sewing store. That made them about 2" thick with the burlap. My room is 10'x12 with 9' ceiling. Maybe the panels are no better than foam and just damping reflections but they definately made a difference...

Well, my meager room needed some treatment. It's far from professional and so far has been for my use only. After researching all the audio physics to an anal degree, I shuffeled off to Lowes to see what fit the budget. I took drop ceiling panels with insulation on one side, covred that with...

Too much gear? I suppose my wife would say it's when I have one closet just for guitar cases. She doesn't dare look inside. She still thinks my studio is storage space in the garage.

Relaxing... Thought the tune was relaxing. Wasted time reading through. The discussion was irritating. No further comments at this time....

Just a thought. I got a Yamaha MIDI Junction Controller (MJC8 I think) 8 in/8out that simplifies a lot of midi routing. Memories for various connections are handy for quick rerouting. I also made a list of all the ins and outs plus every type of connector on every piece of my small collection of...

A few years ago I recorded a vocal group in my large "L" shaped kitchen, dining, living room that has hardwood floors and sheetrock on all the walls with most of the ceiling sloping from 8 to 12 feet. Lots of air to move in that area! Careful micing and it worked out great, natural sounding. I...

I think this thread is over. I have watched these guys give excellent advice from their many years of experience and evolving as well as trial and error. I take their word as gospel when i need advice. Some noob with zero experience signs up and challenges anyone to prove his obsession of what...

Great advice. Ijust wanted to mention that when I wired my studio I made copies of all the input/output diagrams in the manuals and listed all the equipment. Then with some software tools at work I created a custom wiring layout all organized and neat. That let me figure out what connections and...

I had to do the poor boy method. I had some free acoustic ceiling tiles and left over fiberglass sheets used to make duct for air conditioning. Glued them together and wrapped them gently in quilting batting. Wrapped the whole thing in burlap and hung from the walls, corners and ceiling with...

I think I got in kinda late. I too think it has a Beatlesque sound (Paul is still a favorite!). I like the clean sound. It's just how I would like it. Great job.

I too have a couple of Xavier guitars that play great. Loaded a tele with their pickups. One of my blems was a blush in the finish where the strap covers. Took me a while to find it!

Performance is performance. I always told my bandmates the mistakes are gone in a second but that's where you perfect your skills. It seems In the olden days...every band's first album was their best because they had paid their dues and played those songs till they were second nature even with...

Sorry, late to the game Sorry I'm so late to hear this but I read the entire thread and learned a lot. I missed some of the in-between tracks but #6 is a drastic improvement. I know it's all about taste and production but I would like to hear the transition from the acoustic to the electric...

Custom tray?

I can't offer any advice on the mix but it sounds good on my phone. I will be checking it out later cause I really like the song. Great performance.

Interesting. My younger kids cannot name a single rock band or even solo artists. The only music they is what Disney has produced for them. Now my 22yr old is blind and a music lover. Due to my varied taste developed over 6 decades she can name any artist within the first measure. Her favorite...

I agree with everybody that a pro recording should be left to the pros ( or even us wannabees willing to work at it). Maybe these guys need to try capturing a live sound with some reasonablely good gear. Their buds might remember it better that way and if there is a demand for more they might...

My kids complained about my "gas" problem (theirs, not mine!) so I spent the rest of the day singing "Fartin for a livin" with some pretty catchy rhymes. Unfortunately I didn't write them down or record it. Probably never will but it may resurface next time I eat bananas. My daughter gets...

Needs more cowbell.....not! I enjoy your original and authentic music much more than anything considered "commercial" today. Leave the "professionals" out of it. You're doing just fine. Oops, ran out of quotation marks....

I second that thanks guys. This conversation is good food for thought for us less experienced and ill equipped.
