There was a time when mixers, MIDI interfaces, mic pres, headphone amps, DI boxes etc were all separate bits of gear, but these days manufacturers combine several of these functionalities into one external interface. But you might occasionally find an interface that has, for example, only XLR...

That's actually the exact reason I didn't get the Tascam. Glad to hear it worked out for you! But it's just way to big for my tiny closet of an apartment. In order to stay under budget, I'm thinking of getting any of the following second-hand to stay under a $300 budget: 2i4, saffire pro 14...

I first think of the message I'm trying to convey, as a basic theme. Then, I try and fill it out line-by-line, with the right amount of syllables for timing. Then I'll go through and take the words and try and make them rhyme when possible. By when possible, I mean I try and make a rhyme happen...

It certainly seems that way, but I will say this: it might sound funny but it's true, Japan has honor and quality control engraved in its culture. While China is certainly rapidly developing in many ways, it's just not nearly as good or concerned with quality control as the Japanese. And since...

Steeno! You sound like a mix of james taylor and john lennon. Nice one!

Fuck it I'll join in on the fun. Now, back home in CA it was always my friends with the home studios and I just brought my tele and played. Here in my sorry-excuse-of-an-apartment (1 bedroom, 320 square feet, with my girlfriend....not exaggerating about the size), I have room for almost...

Oh I misread, I thought you meant you buggered off to France. Sorry to hear about the problems, especially with family issues. Lord knows I've had my share (in my case, multiple cancers...) For me, those tough times were actually what inspired me most to have the "urge" to create music. I hope...

Where in France?!? Exactly, thanks BroKen. ecc83 just mosey on over to the GUR forum and review your brains out

Thanks for finding the right forum, mkemple. In general, it's bad joojoo to have your first post on the forum be self-promotional, even if you did find the right place. With that said, it sounds like you have a lot to contribute to HR given your experience. You posted in the right place and...

Great idea in general. I'm the same way regarding never saving separate versions which is silly, but one thing I tend to do is save the very first, extremelyyyyyyy raw demo before polishing it up so I can compare the very earliest idea with the final product. Saves me time and makes me feel like...

But having said that, some of the stuff that iPads are becoming capable of doing from a music production standpoint are actually becoming pretty fucking awesome :D

I kinda figured lol, mutt with a question about usb mics for under 100 sounded very out-of-character, even to me. Don't update me, I don't deserve it. Let me wallow away in the shame of exclusion before I cower back to the forums, tail between legs, sure to think before I post :facepalm:

seriously. I was never a big iPad fan before but they're really changing the game in the audio world. the best part is, people still complain about a $10-$30 synth app that would cost hundreds of dollars otherwise. I've dabbled with a few mics that connect directly to an iPad, but none worth...

I never said a bass, amp and mic is insufficient. What I said is the quality of sound is more dependent on quality equipment (among other things ie mic placement). Does that mean it's impossible to mic up a shitty bass, bargain mic and garage sale amp and still get a good sound? Of course not...

You're doing the right thing, I would work on honing your recording skills before learning more about mixing, just like you're doing, by working on getting as good a sound of possible for each individual track before working on getting them to all sit together nicely in the mix. Don't be...

I've managed to get a decent bass sound with a beat up, no name hand me down. I've also managed to get horrible sounds with a decent bass, amp and mic, and everything in between. Depending on your gear, different things can work, but it would help most if we could hear exactly what kinds of bass...

I dunno about sennheisers for recording, but regarding headphones for mixing and recording, the AKG K702s are the best I've ever tried and are only 210 bucks on amazon right now (a steal given the value)

Also, I'm digging your vocals. nice and crisp
