Building a brick bunker sounds like a terrible idea. Best suggestion given, which I agree with, is to build bedroom walls, and possibly studio walls (if space permits). Use wood framing, rock wool product in the wall cavities (roxul safe and sound is good stuff), and double layer drywall)...

Here's what I think, and drieb thinks so too... Just sing. Close-mic yourself so you can keep the gain lower to help avoid capturing noise from the neighbor. Then let it rip! If you listen back and notice some noise, try to get rid of it, or just record again. I mean really...if you have to put...

I echo this opinion. You should be able to get a decent usb audio interface for $100 or so. Beringer, Maudio, Steinberg, Presonus...all well known manufacturers. If you are going to down grade the abilities of the AT2020 (which is a decent mic IMO) by daisy chaining your way to the computer...

Potential...needs some work. Out of curiosity, are you singing in your room with the door closed trying not to be heard on the outside? You sound like you are holding back from letting your voice go loud.

Here's what I'm thinking... The right OH mic will hear everything, but obviously more from the right side of the kit. The same goes for the left OH mic. Hopefully you are going to have each on a separate track of their own. Don't forget to account for phase issues. When mixing these two tracks...

I know I'm not answering your direct questions, because I honestly don't know the technical answers. I based my material selection on the how easily I could blow through the material. The test was, could air pass through relatively easily. The science behind this is weak I'm sure, but it seemed...

Does the snake have an extra 1/4" TS or TRS line you could plug the phones into? That would be the simplest. Otherwise, you can get 1/4' extension cables. I have a 20' one I use for headphone monitoring...not to concerned with any minor sound signal degredation in an unbalanced signal, since...

I have yet to learn to play drums that sound as good as programmed drums.... Thanks for the helpful input though...

From what I understand, this is not sound logic. What you listen to on your headphones through an mp3 player is a mastered version. Please, a more knowledgeable poster add to this....I would like this point clarified as well. Edit...nevermind...Armistice got post in before I finished typing my...

You asked for it, and you got one answer already that you didn't like. Here's another that you can take however you want. You are not a very good singer. There's no simpler way to put it. I'm not gonna bash and pick at every minute detail because quite frankly I am not a great singer either...

Improvement #1: find a better room than the bathroom. Improvement #2: as previously recommended, put some adequate treatment in the new room.

Before you go drilling into the roof in search of a wood structural member to hang something from, be sure it is a wood frame construction. Pre-stressed concrete floors and ceilings are quite common in apartment construction.

I find music very interesting. The ability to catch the interest of another person by telling a good story, or imprinting a certain sound into anothers mind such that they equate an emotion to it. I love the interpretive art of music. with that said, I am a mediocre musician at best. I learned...

I mix with headphones...because I don't yet have monitors. They are on the list of must haves though...as soon as I get the blessing (read "not going to get in too much crap") for buying them. And from my unprofessional experience, I can say two things... 1) recording, manipulating, and...

To this, I will suggest that you check what your "Timebase" is set to. I set mine to BARS, with a quantize setting to 1/16ths. This makes it much more easier to drop midi in on the right timing. You can increase or decrease the count on the snap, and turn snap on or off too if you want. The more...

Studio 1, like all other DAWs is a powerful when you learn how to use it. I am still scratching at the surface myself. But then everytime I ask myself "what's this for?" and I go find out how it works, I get a sense of gratification of having learned something new and having added another tool...

You note that you use Studio 1 Pro. Studio one comes with a built in set of drum sound files and plugins. Give it a try to see what it's all about. Studio 1 has a pretty decent interface for handling instrument plugins. Simply open a new Instrument Track, then go to the browser tab and find the...

There you have it! Take your time to design the finished box the way you want it. Then, from the knowledge you gained by reading the book by Gervais, schedule the materials to be incorporated into each wall, surface, etc... Now the tricky part, because you are self proclaimed as not-handy, is...

First of all....DON'T connect your headphone out to a line level input. The Headphone output is way too hot and is tied normally to your master volume control...just don't... Second, you have some very good questions here, but perhaps you can punch those questions into the googlenet and do a...

I agree with that too. the interface is designed to go between a mixer or PA and your computer. So you are missing the line level signal by the sounds of it. Can you get a line level out of your guitar amp? Might need an adapter cable though...1/4 TS to RCA. Once you get that problem sorted...
