basically, what I wanted to know, is how do you correctly incorporate a subwoofer into your system? How loud is it supposed to be as opposed to your monitors?

Alrighty guys, spent a few minutes on it today, let me know if you like the update. I mixed against a reference track (i dont konw if its good or not, but its Hawthorne Heights wish you were lonely or whatever that song is). So let me know, i cleaned up the lows and boosted the mids (its amazing...

Thanks for the replys. I am going to tweak this song a bit this weekend, and will repost probably sunday. Until then, give it another listen. Its actually a good tune. Sean

ha, i never knew that about the tri-tones...I always wondered. Great song man, I'm compelled to think this isn't home recording but a professional piece. Sounds great.

The fret noises are distracting...Vocals sound good, set well in the mix. Drums sound pretty tight as well, like the snare...the hi-hat open close in the chorus is a little loud (distracting as well). I like the electronic drum action. It sounds like there should be maybe some distorted guitar...

Seriously, I actually really enjoyed that. The "hi hat" needs to come down. Sweet song though. I hate death metal, but that was pleasurable.

Holy crapstar, thats pretty nice shreddin. I agree, bass is distracting (all midi sounding). Have a buddy throw some hot bass down, and this will kick more ass. Great job man, keep up the good work. I want to hear more!

Hey guys, www.soundclick.com/seanscogin Track is Here I go again. My real questions here are: Does anyone have any suggestions for mixing the backing vocals? I have found this to be a daunting task, one with which I am not satisfied. All i did to distinguish it was cut the high end out, put...

Behringer makes products cheap, and makes cheap products. But I'm really tired of the gear snobs here. Obviously this is HOME RECORDING. I would venture a guess that 90% of the people here don't have thousands to spend and don't have the time to "save up your money for something better". People...

I've never built a guitar before, but I did build all of my living room furniture. And the truth is, it costs alot more than buying new (unless you do it for a living, pumping out the same thing weekly). You always underestimate the cost, and you never can forsee everything that goes wrong...

Well, i think you might've answered your own question. I have seen some engineers take absolute shiiite and turn it into shiiite that doesnt smell so bad. Producers and engineers are around for a reason. They make things better. HAIL THEE, RECORDING ENGINEERS AND PRODUCERS! (Disclaimer: I'm...

you can check my soundclick page for some of my vocals. I want to have more warmth in them, because as of now, they are pretty cold. www.soundclick.com/seanscogin I Try and Stuck with MTV are good examples. Pulidos is too, as far as a different kind of genre is concerned.

I'm a little confused. I have a condesnser mic (CAD 195) that uses phantom power, but looks like a regular micropone (as in, live vocal mics). I was looking at other mics (because im not happy with the results of vocal tracking) and most vocal condesor mics have a huge front, a crazy shock...

Bass drum - the boomy drum (the dum dum in a beat) Snare - is the pop drum. as in dum dum pop, dum dum pop hi-hats - are the tst in a beat, that usually go in 16th time, tst tst tst tst Cymbols are the crashes you hear Toms usually come in three flavors (on a starter kit anyway) and they have 3...

This is the best sample set I've found. http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/ns_kit7freedownload.html It has different volume sounds (each different hits, not just the same sample turned down). I've found that if you mix it up a bit in FL, and keep the drums separate (as far as only having...

I use savinghosting.com. You can get a decent package for $12 a year if you dont host mp3s on your site (outsource that to soundclick or lightningmp3). If you did want to, I think they have a package thats like $3 per month.

Hey there ladies and germs. I love this forum; let me say that first and foremost. I also love recording, whether it be at home or in the studio. I also love advertising and marketing, and you can tell that because I graduated from college with a degree in advertising/public relations. I also...

Can we make a sticky of the "How do I monitor in CEP/AA?" I know I had that question, and I've seen it a few times since then (actually, there are a couple threads right now. Just thought it might help us noobs navigate the forums a bit easier. Sean

Is it possible to use regular home theater bookshelf speakers as monitors? I have a receiver with a 5 band eq on it, and I was wondering if I could offset the regular V curve of the speakers by using that EQ, thereby flattening the sound itself? Or can anyone recommend speakers that have a...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I will try to pull the guits down later.
