    mixing/mastering problem......

    It would be easier to help you if you could post some links to the song. I find when something dissapears in the mix after mastering it's because you are relying too much on track volume to make that part cut through instead of finding it's own niche in the frequency range. Usually a bit of...

    What are normal tv mix settings?

    The only major difference is you really want to check for mono and surround compatability to make sure nothing weird or unexpected is going to happen. Most lower budget film/tv productions are pretty clueless when it comes to audio so they are usually happy with anything that sounds half...

    need help on new monitors

    Unless there is some type of mixing emergency I would recomend saving up and getting some better speakers when you can afford it. Anything you buy now will just be crap that you will have to replace later with $80 less cash.

    Resetting Computer Levels

    Every system is different but usually you want the keyboard around 80%, internal at 100% and then use the speakers to control the final volume.

    Bass Drum Hole

    I would recomend cutting the hole. Getting a great kick tone can be tough enough without trying to make it harder.

    looking for a 'happy medium' mix

    You probably either have too much going on the low mid 400hz-800hz range or not enough going on in the 2k-6k range. If there is too much low end volume then the tracks won't get loud enough on the cheap system and the high end won't come through. If you are relying on a lot of high end air...

    Hiss/buzz coming from DI out on bass.

    I've rarely heard any amp DI's that sound very good. Use an external DI and also mic the cab for best results.

    phase cancellation question

    The 3:1 rule is about micing separate sources like guitar amps and bass amps in the same room. It doesn't really apply to drums. You will never make the phase relationship of every drum track perfect and if you start moving stuff around in time it usually creates more problems then it...

    MultiFx for around a couple hundred bucks.

    I like my TC M200. It has dual channels for reverb or delay fx which works well in live settings.

    Best Overheads - Drums

    I love my Josephson C42 SDCs. They sound great on everything and you can get a matched pair for around $800.

    This song is amazing, who is the owner?

    Because it's Dragon's site and he can do what he wants.

    Vocoder style plug in?

    That's because Vocoder's require you to tell them what notes to use. Usually you use a keyboard and play it along with the vocal line.

    Re-amping an entire mix?

    I would just try to record interesting sounds in the first place but I'm kinda weird that way.

    Home Recording's Dirty Little Secret

    I'm not being hysteric about anything and I'm not attacking anyone so please don't fire up the douchebag brigade. What people were doing with certain technologies 20 or 30 years ago is almost irrelevant to today. Not from a theory standpoint but from a practical standpoint. Tom Shultz was...

    How about simulating a dolby b decode?

    Record a pass with NR and one without and edit together the best sounding parts.

    Home Recording's Dirty Little Secret

    Have you actually listened to early recordings in those genres? It was all done on 4 tracks, often cassette. I wouldn't say Sub Pop had huge budgets by any means. But you still ignore the main fact that if it wasn't for budget recordings then many bands would never be heard. I'm not saying...

    Home Recording's Dirty Little Secret

    To buy that argument you would have to believe that there is no such thing as a great sounding digital recording and that is bullshit. The reason studios started using cheaper digital gear is because there was less money coming in the door and they had to cut costs. This also means less time...
