    A few questions about my new home setup..

    Von (which I find funny, some of my friends call me that... my full title would be Von Jisser, and all the innuendoes that go along with that)- I'm not a gamer, so I don't know how Teamspeak works. And I don't use Windows anymore, so I've forgotten/don't know anything about their new OS (i...

    A few questions about my new home setup..

    And welcome to Home Recording. Please ask any questions you can think of. But before you do, make sure you do a search. Many people have the exact same questions - even though it sounds like it will only pertain to your situation.

    A few questions about my new home setup..

    I haven't used TeamSpeak before, but it might be since it's a mono signal it automatically goes through the left speaker. I'm not sure how you would pan it in TeamSpeak. It might have to be done in the audio system preferences (assuming you have a mac). FL Studio and Logic understand that...

    Headphone advice please

    I've used the 770 Pro's for years now. They claim to isolate by about 20dB, and that's great for tracking live. They really do isolate well for me (even with glasses). And they are comfortable and do not have a coiled wire - which I hate cause they get caught on music stands, etc and ruin...

    Background noise/Live cover recording

    If by "background noise" you mean room noise, you might have forgot to change the audio input settings on Windows Movie Maker. I know you said that you used the Lexicon in/out, but maybe it wasn't applied in that WMM. I've done quick little recordings like that before where I thought it was...

    Exterior doors- Fiberglass, solid wood, steel clad..?

    I use two doors, which is known as the "air lock." The outside swings out, so it can't be kicked in and it has a large metal jam to help again crow bars. A little like this one: Shop Door Jamb Armor Door Jamb Armor with 2-3/4-in Back Set-White at Lowes.com This is something I just found: 4...

    Help with choosing my first recording equipment for home studioooooo!

    I would rather go with a this: Reaper > mixcraft - it's an amazing, inexpensive piece of software. No control surface - The Livid looks really good, but I have another non-moterized controller too for simple tracking and it get very annoying when changing tracks and the faders are not at...

    Bus compression

    Does anyone else do this to their tracks? I mostly specialize in classical and jazz, so maybe it's not as common with the engineer who hyper compress their pop music, but I still manually compress this way when mixing pop groups.

    Bus compression

    You could use compression on each track to tame the peaks and then bus all three to help it sit in the mix. This is a little more work, but I usually do "manual compression" with volume automation on individual tracks before I do any compression. It gives me more control without losing dynamic...

    Powerful hooks that overshadow the song

    Nah, father. One kid, one on the way. I started making genetic copies late. But I also married late too. You can read my bio if you like, like I said. I'm not hard to find.

    Powerful hooks that overshadow the song

    I'm really easy to find. Than again, I could be the mom with some dumb kid in my basement.

    Are instrumentals 'songs'?

    That gives a strange image of babies marching in their mothers womb.

    Or the human heart! In utero.

    Powerful hooks that overshadow the song

    That is such a foreign idea to me... so strange.

    Powerful hooks that overshadow the song

    You know.... that's a great idea. What if you added another instrumental melody to the chorus or some other catchy riff or line to it? That's an idea worth exploring.

    Powerful hooks that overshadow the song

    You're totally right. Sorry if I came off that way. I really enjoy discussing these things though. And you guys have a lot of great things to say.

    Powerful hooks that overshadow the song

    I think my desire to give or at least see potential in people to be the best they can be is the reason why I think they can attain the "it" status with enough work and dedication. Now, if someone have a physical (or mental) disability, it might be harder to achieve "it-ness." Mozart wrote 20...

    Powerful hooks that overshadow the song

    Yeah, I'm a serious guy. I do like it when people agree with me, not to serve some self-fullfiling ego trip, but to make sure that I am passing around correct information. And I want to be shown if I've got my information wrong. I'd hate to lead someone in the wrong direction with something...
