If you bring in a real drummer and record the drums each drum on its own track, dry and unprocessed, you would have the same thing that EZD brings in.......except the people and facilities used to record the drummers in EZD are much better than anything you or I can do at home. EZD drums ARE a...

If your panels are free standing, consider adding a higher density material to the back side. I got sheets of sound board material that is actually intended for sound deadening. It resembles heavy paper ground up and pressed and glued into a sheet, maybe 5/8th or 3/4 inch thick, some of it might...

In your situation, you would be much better off using one of these.... Zoom A2

Do not adjust your tv. There is nothing wrong with your picture. Sonar is waaaaayyyyy over kill for most home recording people, but it is good, Sonar 7 is no slouch, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your software. Don't blow a wad of money on an upgrade, at least not until you are ready...

Don't mess around. Do it right, go to Berklee.

After all that, then comes the wisdom..... If the music is not perfect and tight, all the jumping and shouting and surfing wont get you called back. Rehearse...Rehearse...Rehearse...Rehearse...Rehearse... Sorry to harp on that point, but I'm old school......you know, the school where people...

Best advice right there. If you flub the music, the rest wont make any difference. Practice......Practice......Practice......Practice......Practice......Practice......Practice......Practice......Practice......Practice......Practice......then play with conviction and confidence. You wont just...

500hz would be approximately the C one octave above middle C on the piano. A bass can't even play that high. Yes you should start turning knobs. Turn each knob by itself one at a time and hear what it does. If you like it, then you found the answer. Just because someone else likes a boost at...

don't try to use two soundcards at once. If you buy a soundcard/interface made for home studio recording, it will do everything your junk/stock soundcard does and do it better. After this you will probably never use the stock sound card again. SM57 is a good start, but it wont do everything. A...

Contract with your friend to bring him clients, you get a commission for the finders fee, and you get your name associated with getting the job done. Great musicians with amateur gear will go a lot farther than great gear with amateur musicians. The listener can detect amateur musicianship...

Something that is, unfortunately, all too easy to do around here..... You are right to want to treat the room. But don't waste your money on all the latest and greatest retail materials like high density Aurelex or whatever. Go to the home reomodeling store and buy your own materials and...

If you could visit my basement for an hour, then my post would make perfect sense. My basement is about as adverse to good vocal recording as a guy can get, without setting up next to a busy highway or something. I agree with you Rami in principle, of course you are quite right. I'm just...

Never record tracks and mix on the same day. Start first mix at low volume, but always crank it up and leave the room to get an idea what the overall mono sound is like. You'll hear some room flaws this way (if your room is not really made for mixing) but you'll get a good idea what gorillas...

Have to dissent on this. In the world of real professional studios, I would agree. But when the guy is building a "studio" in his home or basement, which is a deceptively oxymoronic concept to begin with, anything is better than just having a condensor mic in an open room in the house. A home...

Perhaps he means the difference in sound may or may not be important to some people, even if it is easy to hear? Significant and important are both subjective terms and have similar meanings in this context, and I hope he did not intend to say that the difference is almost impossible to...

Mike B and Simone, Sounds pretty good, nicely done!

this..... is always much, much easier than this...... Especially when the thing being taken apart is put together by machines in a foreign country.

I keep waiting for the upgrade to Line 7.

There is a reason why the solid state modelling amps do not have any of the name brand guitar speakers installed at the factory. A regular guitar speaker is not the ideal driver for a modeller that is - in theory - already spitting out the sound you need. Guitar speakers are intended for tube...

I am biased against Kontakt. If it works for your computer, you are lucky, but I never was completely satisfied with the sounds. If it has trouble with your computer (crashes, lockups, etc) it will never work completely right, and you will end up pissed. It never worked right for me. Everything...
