Since the Presonus was mentioned, let me bring up a point I had with mine. A coupe years back that unit had an issue when using phantom power. Mine would have a hum that would not go away when using the phantom power. After several days of research it was found the unit didn't supply enough...

Not to hijack this post but in addition to your thoughts, do you use the full output of each drum and cymbal to it's own track in your DAW? As your average home songwriter type, I've only output EZD to a single track and do my "mixing-panning" within EZD.

Yep. Just figured that out as I started to wire things up. Moving on then... Thanks!

I have an old Aphex Type C Aural Exciter that I was thinking of inserting between my AT2020 condenser mic and the Scarlett 2x2 interface. Since going digital years back, I've only used Reaper's Exciter plugin. The mic of course gets it's power from the interface. I do have a separate phantom...

Note to self. I let the demo expire. Couldn't seem to find a real use for it.

Yes.

I've been demoing the new Eventibe Quadrovox plugin on my singer/songwriter vocals. My goal is to achieve simple vocal harmonies. Perhaps to add some interest to a chorus by fattening with the pitch shift and a delay. The sample presets get pretty bizarre though and I'm still figuring it out...

I have a 10'w x 12'l x 8' high room. I love my LSR5's. I have the room treated with basic 6" Roxul corner bass traps, two 3" first reflection panels, 3 panels on the wall behind me and 2 on the front wall behind the monitors. I also have a 4' x 4' x 3" roxul "cloud over my sitting area. The...

I've lately done some songs that open with a chorus. Then later verses start to explain the chorus's message.

I have the LSR 305's in a 12'x13'x8' "mostly" treated room. They work pretty well for me. My theory (perhaps flawed?) is the sound will not bounce around as much with the smaller monitors. I do have simple traps in the corners, a couple bats for first reflections, a small cloud overhead, and a...

Ya. Was thinking that is the way to go. But first I'll check the local big box hardware for an extruded L bracket.

Looking to find away to convert my table resting 208 mixer into a rack. Mine has flat wood on the sides. I recall they made a rack adapter for them way back. Anyone know where to find? Thanks!

Quite: Upstairs converted bedroom (well a treated bedroom studio) so the sound can travel down the cul-de-sac. Kinda took your advice though and sticking with what I got for now. The Champ is great for mid day when folks are up. At night I did spend some time with the Tech21 and seem to get ok...

Perhaps I overstated my "sounds like a Marshall..." comparison. So the thing is I've a small upstairs bedroom of our house that I've treated (as best I can) for home recording. I've been looking at these 1/2 -1 watt boutique amps lately. Some are very expensive. But I found some great reviews of...

I've been using my Tech21 Tradesman 10 as my only recording amp. I mic it with my AT 2035 or SM58. But I mostly use the direct out so as not to be loud late at night but find that sound thin. That said, I just can't seem to get a nice clean or driven tube sound out of it either way. I tend to...

As the OP, I think the best advice for me lies in this last post. It's enough for me to write a song, practice all the parts (i do it all), then record all the parts (myself) to hopefully make a decent tracking, then mix it for my ears (myself). The "mastering" part is yet a whole other level...

Got it. Thanks!

I guess I'm a bit more vague than I thought. I try to record each track at -15db as my understanding is unlike the days of tape, I don't need to "saturate" the signal (correct?). As far as average or peak - that would be peak as Reaper shows me the max db level recorded on each track. I do...

So for the first time, I'm attempting to put a few of my songs up on SoundCloud. Low and behold virtually every other song I compare to there has been pumped up. So without going into the loudness wars... What do ya'll do prior to uploading. My tracks are all around -15db (Reaper). On the stereo...

Great info from Massive! My Focusrite - I only get the cute flashing green LED as well. Matter of fact if I'm using either line in or phantom for my condenser mic, I can't get close to red as it clips at the DAW anyway (Reaper). If I ever upgrade, I'm going to look for one that has actual...
