    Which GUI to buy?

    What type of music/productions are you planning on making? Do you ever do live shows? (seems random, but I have my reasons for asking!) What is the main thing you want your DAW (GUI) to do? I could sit here and try to sell you on all the bells and whistles Logic has to offer, but I'd rather...

    HELLLLLP......Hats are too F#@%ing loud

    I've had trouble with loud hi-hats from my overheads once or twice. The solution for me was three-fold: 1) I made sure I was using a snare-symmetrical set up for my OH's, and I lowered (in height) them more towards the kit 2) I made the drummer readjust the hats' height and position. Lower and...

    Phase shift sounding problem on my bass drum - Cubase, Saffire Pro

    I think it would be better for us to hear your drum tracks together in the mix. bounce down just the drums and upload an mp3. We can't help you by listening to the unaffected, isolated kick drum you've posted. As said before, if this is a phase issue, there needs to be other microphones picking...

    my first post

    Gecko and Stealth are right. Logic's plug-ins are of very good quality, but outboard gear will always be better. The flip side - outboard gear is expensive. To further answer your inquiry about how to achieve the expensive commercial sound: You'll need talent (usually ;)) A pretty good set...

    Studios near Memphis, TN?

    I am hoping to plan a trip to Tennessee sometime next year (probably early-mid March '09). I was wondering if anyone would be interested in letting me visit his studio for a couple hours. So far things are very unofficial. I was just hoping a few people would be interested. I will be visiting...

    sympathetic ringing from a pole

    That's hilarious. I ran into this same problem tonight! It took me a good 15 minutes of just staring at the drumset to figure out what was going on. I wish I would have read this beforehand.

    ART MPA Gold - I want to HEAR it. Please.

    Wow, thanks again everyone! This ended up being a lot more helpful than I could have guessed. I am definitely getting one in a couple of weeks. I'll be sure to post some tracks! I am really glad someone asked about the Firepod/firebox set-up. I'll have to go through the same set-up, so that...

    best magazines on music production/recording

    Recording Magazine is also very nice. Each issue has a section dedicated to recording the basics: drums, vocals, bass, guitar. The only real problem I have with the magazine is the articles are often part of a 5-6 issue series, so if you find something really interesting in an article and want...

    Make digital recordings sound vintage/analogue?

    Honestly? Record in the analog domain rather than the digital domain. There are many many threads in this forum arguing the nature of analog vs digital. I suggest searching for one and reading it, there's a lot of great information to be learned.

    2 Songs for review. I love you all.

    I also wanted to say, if you like the violins in "Darling" you can have them! What I mean is, my friend Meredith may be willing to do some recordings if it fits her schedule. Let me know anytime and we'll work out the details Thanks again

    Diddo. I was just having some fun. I wasn't looking for anything permanent yet.

    let me see your studio!

    I had everything set up like that (through the mixer) to create a massive headphone mix for a jam session. I wasn't worried about the actual recording, I just wanted everyone to be able to hear themselves in their own mix. That was the most efficient way I could think of. The blue stuff on...

    let me see your studio!

    Just an update on my humble space. I am building a new rack unit for my desk in a couple weeks. I'll post pictures of that when it's finished. Enjoy: (The calendar was a "gift" from a client)

    ART MPA Gold - I want to HEAR it. Please.

    Wow great song second_skin I do like the tone you got from the stock tubes. For those of you who have bought replacement tubes, how often do you switch them - meaning, do you ever go back to the stock tubes, or another set altogether to achieve a different sound? Is that even advisable...

    ART MPA Gold - I want to HEAR it. Please.

    I was wondering if any owners of an ART MPA Gold dual channel tube pre could post some recordings of them using it in their signal chain. If you've swapped out the tubes, it would be great to hear what tubes you replaced the originals with. I was considering buying one of these, but I won't have...
