    Fixing gain controls on phonic mixer. Do I use contact spray?

    Sorry for late reaction. I was abroad for some time. I did indeed mean the gain knob, not the fader. I'll search for deoxit. And I'll try to find a way to get it into the pots. I honoustly have not a lot of experience with dismantling mixers. I know Phonic is by far not the ideal stuff to go...

    Fixing gain controls on phonic mixer. Do I use contact spray?

    Hey y'all, I've got a little problem with my Phonic AM844D mixer. Some of the gain controls aren't working anymore. They stay fixed at a real low Gain no matter how I turn the knob. I was thinking of fixing it with a bit of contact spray. But to be honest, I never used contact spray, nore...

    Soundproofing an apartment room

    I've done years of making music with direct neighbours. It ment quite restrictions, most of them to do with time, and still I count myself lucky with the neighbours I had. It took me effort keeping them happy, but it looks like the easiest solution.

    Drums on a wooden floor, need a budget treatment

    I've found carpet with heavy under-carpet (if that is a word; the stuff you can use under carpet). Anyways, I've decided to use a double layer of the under-carpet and then put carpet over it. I know it will not even come close to isolation, but it might be enough soundreduction to save my...

    Please suggest a DAW software for a beginner

    Very interesting discussions going on there. :D I could not tell you anything about other DAWS then GarageBand, Audacity and Cubase LE5. Garageband is rather easy to use. By far easiest of the three. I guess they could make it so easy because there are not to many options. It only takes you a...

    Riff-Rock-Rap?

    Aren't those the best? But seriously I love your lyrics, there awesome. All the in sentencence rhyme (if thats a term) is really nice to listen to. And I think it really helps with getting your frustration coming out of my speaker. Nice song! Can't say anything about the mix, laptopspeakers...

    Drums on a wooden floor, need a budget treatment

    Thanks for the advice. I'll search for neoprene. I hope it is possible to get enough of it for the platform. I'll keep you updated.

    Drums on a wooden floor, need a budget treatment

    I've got the idea that a rug only works against high frequencies and I guess it will do almost nothing against contact noise. I thought about an isolation platform but that helps mainly against the direct contact sound, I guess. The walls are pretty solid that helps, doesn't it? What material...

    At last I started to build my own studio.....

    Well again, nice job. I've got no right of talking. I've used my bedroom for the last 10 years with neighbours that want me to be quiet from 8 in the evening. :D Good luck, I'm looking forward to new pictures!

    Drums on a wooden floor, need a budget treatment

    Heya folks! I just got the great possibility to move to a house that is big enough to have one room for music without any direct neighbours. I'm planning to make that into my private homestudio. I'll post some pictures with questions about acoustic treatment later. Right now I'm thinking of...

    Can anyone tell me what MASTERING is. im compleatly lost.

    :thumbs up: Cool, I had the idea it only ment the audio finalizing. It is not my topic but I guess that it is Dat_Nigga_Pari's question. Could someone explain the difference between mixing and audio finalizing?

    At last I started to build my own studio.....

    Wow that is so nice! Awesome, at first it looked a bit small, but since you're not recording drums it looks rather large. Nice work, curious to see it finished. If in only... ah, never mind. Good luck! ;)

    Changing loud fan in Amplifier, should I do it?

    That sounds like a cool idea, I'm not sure if I can fit two in, but I'll try. But I guess I'd then have to find two 12V fans wich are also 0.24A to get the right Wattage, right? Or doesnt it matter how much Watts the fans are? (sorry, I know the right physics terms in dutch, not English)

    Changing loud fan in Amplifier, should I do it?

    @ ecc83 Thanks a lot for the usefull reply. There must be some sort of termal switch in my amp, because the fan has got a normal mode (loud), and a heavy duty mode (very loud). The fan is now constantly on, but when I buy a thermal switch I'm afraid it will still be on all the time. Because...

    1st track of 12. Acoustic singer/songwriter.

    Something for me: What a great and lovely song! The voice is not the average, that's good! Nice mixed and nice to listen to. And I like the subtle organ in the background! I would consider buying it. Agreed. I doesn't sound natural in comparison to the rim click.

    Only Seapunk Now

    I like the sound of the song. Good mixing, nice and full and vocals are well up in front. Is it your song or did you do the recording/mixing/mastering part only?

    Changing loud fan in Amplifier, should I do it?

    That's right, most of the time it is off during tracking. But it makes quite some noise, really annoying. If it is possible to change the fan for a regular computer cooling fan, I would do it. Those things cost less then €10,-, these days.

    Orchestral sounds for Cubase 5

    Ok, that's a good thing. Thanks for the reply. Could I use it for mac and pc simultaneously or would I need two licenses then?
