Hi, what kind of pickups are they? Also, I know that florescent lights can cause a hum on an amp, so turn those off if you have any around you. Humbuckers were invented to cancel out the hum, or buzz. If they are single coil pickups, as far as I am concerned, it just comes with the territory...

Hi everyone, I thought I might just put this up here seeing that so many people have helped me along the way of learning how to do some basic recording. Thanks to all the help, my band has now just finished our first music video and it uses the demo I recorded. (we're high school students going...

Ok well, I got it working. If anyone else ever has trouble, what I learnt is that on the cable it marks the one MIDI connector as IN, and the other as OUT. the OUT cable must plug into the IN on the keyboard and the IN cable must plug into the OUT on the keyboard.

Hi I bought a MIDI to USB cable to try get my old keyboard to work with Cubase. I feel absolutely useless because nothing I do will work. Just to be clear I am using Cubase LE 6. I hope its not the problem. So I plug my MIDI cables into the In and Out of the keyboard and the USB cable into my...

Now that's a compliment! thank you very much! feel free to check out our other songs, https://soundcloud.com/outofseason

Thank you all for the feedback so far! I'm glad everyone likes the song. I'm working on it a little, but I have trouble with my track clipping. I use samples for the drums, and the drums always end up clipping (Although it doesn't sound distorted) and so my overall sound output is "clipped". I...

If I've been very ignorant in asking this kind of request, please just tell me. I definitely don't expect an actual mastering engineer to take a look at this. I suppose I must have come across in the wrong way because out of over 130 people who looked at this thread, only 6 have even clicked...

Hi everyone, So I have recently discovered that mastering is not the same as mixing, and that especially for mastering, it is important to have someone different take a listen etc. So i was wondering, I have tried to "master" my first ever recording myself, but I don't really know what I'm...

I have this interface, and it works brilliantly. You need to have monitors plugged in witha 1/4 jack at the back to use the big monitor knob. The little one to the left of that is for your headphones, so you would be using that. For your gain issues, make sure you have the switch on line, not...

FL Studio can record audio. I am almost 100% certain of it

This is awesome. I am jelous of your music writing ability, your skill at playing and your voice. Damn, some people just have it all :P

Hi Here is my band's newest song, I have had real trouble with this one. Trying to make it sound good and interesting as been a real challenge, so I'd love everyone's feedback and criticism on what works and what doesn't. Thank you everyone! https://soundcloud.com/brettrayner/dont-die-on-me

Thanks so much! I really appreciate feedback like that! :) Yes its all raw input, nothing between my interface and the guitar, besides a cable. Is an amp generally a better option? because I tried hooking mine up to my interface but I got a humming sound. Only thing I could think of was its a...

haha well, its more real than fake.

I didnt like the drums, the snare had this strange tiny sound on it which was tedious after listening to it for a while. Also the bass and kick drum on every beat or more doesnt sound like great musicianship. But that comes down to your style and taste.But Not a bad recording at all. I think...

thanks guys, I'll look into the high hats. Well, we're South African, and us in particular have a "slight" British sounding accent. Especially if your used to American accents, but overall, yes I think he does put on a bit of an accent. That's just him though. Is it a problem?

Try get a more realistic drum sound, I think that bringing down the bass a lot, and then having drums with real depth to them will help a great deal. Also the lead guitar sound a little too whiny for my taste. Try recording a second guitar behind that exactly the same, but with the top pickup or...

No, all advice is good advice. Mostly. Anyway, while I will say that we try to make subtle changes here and there, no, the general idea does not change. And this is due to the fact that we're two guys, and neither of us are drummers. We honestly have no idea what else to do. Coming up with a...

THank you for the feedback everyone. I will try work on the EQ Some more. @DarrenVocal must the singer put more force and volume behind the mic when we record it, or is it a case of me adjusting the mix to make the vocals louder? As for the instruments in the chorus, I think it is a small...

Hi Everyone, so I have totally rerecorded this song. Please, I would love your feedback. I am learning every day. Latest version: https://soundcloud.com/brettrayner/funeral-1
