    What monitors should I buy?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked the monitors up on the JBL website but could not find any monitors with very different looking tweeters. What series are those? Then I'll look some reviews up and try to have a listen to them... 2 hours ago I called a local store to ask if they had the...

    What monitors should I buy?

    The KRKs are the first Monitors I checked out. I guess that recognizable yellow dot helps with how popular they are. After a bit of reading I now want to have a listen to the ADAM A7X, NEUMANN KH120A, DYNAUDIO BM6A and the Genelec 8030BPM speakers. Has anyone used two or more of these? How...

    What monitors should I buy?

    That's why I was confident asking for 'the best' monitors in my price range. Bah, sometimes I hate nuance, it's making life unnecessarily complicated... :P Well, then let me refrase: What monitors would you advice me to buy within this price range? In that case I guess I've got to plan time to...

    What More Could You Want From Me?- Original Song

    Nice song! The lyrics sound authentic and I like how you made the illness a person to sing to. What you could improve would be, in my opinion, making it a bit shorter somewhere around three quarters where you keep repeating Tell me what more could you want from me? I expected something...

    What monitors should I buy?

    Thanks! I'll check out Dynaudio didn't really delve into them yet. I do read now and again that it comes to personal preference, but I don't really get that. Isn't it true that you have to learn your monitors in your room anyways and that you want an as accurate and flat response as possible...

    What monitors should I buy?

    Hey guys, So the moment arrived, I'm almost finished with acoustically improving my room, I finished my production desk and put it on the spot where it would sound best. I already have the absorbers for behind the monitors in place and, gladly, still have some money left to spend on monitors. I...

    Moneyless Production Desk for Home Studio

    So I encouraged by tremblayj's lovely picture of his production desk. I started designing a desk that I could make with my (slightly more limited) woodcrafting skills. I had been pondering for some time about how to get the materials cause I'd rather spend that money on monitors or new mics then...

    DUMP or Keep

    Hey irwin, I'd say keep them all in your archives. All though some of the beats sound nice, none of the beats I heard are so unique and special that I could build a song around them. But you might at some point be writing a song for which you can't think of beat. That is where this kind of...

    Back On Our Feet Again

    Nice song. I love the lyrics with the recurring theme "we'll be on our feet again". I would use some less harmonic vocals, maybe none, maybe only mixed at a lower level in the first verse. And use them to build up your song. They come a bit unexpected and sound a bit weird. They make the song...

    Illuminain'i Shit - ((working title))((Original))

    Maybe it's the drummer and snare fanatic in me. But the snare could be a tat louder and maybe some more high frequencies, I want snare to sound like they try to bite your ears off.

    Some Instrumental stuff

    I've got a lot to learn about mixing so I won't get into that. But composition-wise I would take time to make clear to yourself what the story is you want to tell. This can be totally instrumental. Which riffs are essential, what drumparts are vital. What melody should I hum when I have this...

    Production Desk

    Wow, that looks awesome. I'm thinking of a similar project also with a keyboard tray, that looks so usefull! Only I've got a keyboard with as much keys as a piano has, which is a bit broad for desk. I'll follow your progress, good job!

    Backdrop as fabric for bass traps and broad-band absorbers, good idea?

    That sounds like an awesome idea! I found nice cotton clothing that didn't resist my breathing through it to much and was affordable so I bought 50m of that stuff. Gonna need a lot of absorption :D. Today I made the frames for the Rockwool. Only wondering should I cover the back of the...

    Sooooooo tired of fake drum threads.

    Nice list :D. Many more that could be added. For me Royal Blood (and to a lesser extent the new album of Muse) are proof that Rock might be going to make a comeback... (which is totally beside the point of this topic, but that's where forums are for, arent they?) At least one indication I'm at...

    Teaching a real drummer programmed drum tracks

    I do agree with what has been said. Would like to add some things. You might also consider playing the songs with the rest of the band without drums and not send him the tracks beforehand. Have a look at what he comes up with. If you like your track better, or parts of it that you can always...

    Sooooooo tired of fake drum threads.

    Whoa, the world needs more people like you! I'm 23 and still believing that I'm going to be a rock star :P (blissfully naive). And building up a studio from the money I make with teaching the drums and guitar. Hoping and dreaming of being able to record en produce my own tracks in my own...
