    Basic questions about capacitors, resistors, and diodes

    Hey HR.com, I recently built a DIY pedal from a kit and I'm happy with it but I feel like I don't understand enough of what's actually going on electronically. Could someone give me a little outline on exactly WHAT all of these pieces are doing? I know that I used various resistors and...

    A mix for your ears...

    hehehe I like that. Gonna put it up on the myspace with all the other crappy reviews we've ever gotten. But also thanks for the input. Re: the mellotron, I'm thinking more of the first king crimson album than All My Love. I always HATED the keyboards on All My Love. that's zeppelin at their...

    A mix for your ears...

    My "monitoring" system is pretty...bizarre? I spend a little time getting things sounding good on headphones (yes I'm well aware of the dangers of mixing on headphones but I love them for editing--you can hear every bad edit/pop/whatever). Then I pop the mix on my Altec Lansing computer...

    A mix for your ears...

    Yep mellotron samples. Pretty easy to find them if you search google. It's my band yeah, http://www.kcquilty.com I'm most worried about the vocals getting lost. I can't make up my mind--I want the vocals to have a slightly buried quality but also still have the lyrics/feel be completely...

    Drums are double tracked. I basically tried to play em as simple as I could (few fills) so that they mostly remained together. The few fills I did were set up to deviate from each other slightly to give them a cool effect (especially on headphones). The out of tune synth was an organ in Logic...

    A mix for your ears...

    Hey all, I think the last time I posted as song up here was 2003 or something...I remembred how much fun it was to get input on a mix from random people and so here I am. This song was recorded almost entirely on the MacBook Pro built in mic into Logic. Drums and guitars were built in mic...

    Macbook vs. Powerbook RAM

    Perhaps this is the wrong place for this, but I thought I'd try. I've got a Powerbook from August of 05 that I don't use anymore since I got a Macbook Pro a few months ago. Is the RAM from my old computer at all compatible? I get the sense it's not but I'd like to see what you guys have to say...

    Doubling Vocals

    A trick that tends to work for me is to roll of some of the high end, since most of the time, the most noticable difference in multi tracked vocals is the sibilant sounds like an S or a T sound. By EQing out a bit of high end, you can retain the feel of two (or more) vocals without having the...

    An interesting conundrum...

    http://home.comcast.net/~treefingers/French_Song_Version_2_Mix_3.mp3 Hi...I haven't posted anything here in a long time but I've been lurking...I've decided to come back out to post this song that I recorded with my friend Spencer. We're both freshmen at NYU and we've been working on an album...

    no voice, no talent, but can i record?

    Ha, I like it in a strange way, assuming you were going for that overly frazzled sound...to be honest, the guitar SOUND sounds pretty cool to me, however, the playing's pretty bad. Then again, there are just those artists out there who get away with stuff like that and those who don't. Maybe...

    Damn I haven't been able to find any used though....sounds like what I'm looking for.

    Micron v. Microkorg AND the usefulness?

    I sorta figured...the thing is, there aren't any realistic sounding keyboards under 500 bucks, all I could really find are those junky casio types...

    Micron v. Microkorg AND the usefulness?

    Is there a decent electric piano and/or rock or jazz organ sound?
