    burning audio tracks

    You just need to bring the .wav file into any audio editor and cut out what you don't want, and then fade it in. Most editors let you draw fades into the .wav file. Then you can drag the wav file to the 0:00 mark or wherever you want it and mix it down so that you'll have a file that you can...

    Sub with different brand monitors?

    What I did with mine when I first hooked it up was play a bunch of cds that I know every beat and chord to and listened real carefully to set the gain and the crossover so that those cds sound as best as they possibly can. Then within the last year of having my sub I just make sure to test my...

    Advantage of 24 vs 16 bit, a primer...

    no shit huh? That's insane. So you take x to the the 160,000 power and put that number to the 180th power for the total possible amount of ways that cd quality audio can sound in 3 minutes. Fuckin' crazy.

    Advantage of 24 vs 16 bit, a primer...

    So... not to interrupt... but, would the maximun number of indvidual ways that cd quality audio could sound like in a one second clip be, ~2,866,500,000? (by multiplying 65000 for the number of discreet steps per sample by the sample rate of 44.1khz). And couldn't you multiply that by it's self...

    Sub with different brand monitors?

    I use my SBX w/ Event monitors. No problems at all here. I just turned the cross over by ear, and have it set at about 80hz. It works great.

    no overheads?

    I was using my MXL 603s for a long time as overheads. First as a space pair, but then I started finding good positions with the XY technique. With this I just had a seperate mic on the kik and snare. It sounds good to an extent, but I don't really dig how my cymbals (Zildjian A Customs) are...

    room mic comb filtering

    Hey all, I'm recording drums and am only using one room mic (besides individual mics on each drum) about 6ft off of the kit. Is it advisable to take a measurement from the room mic to say, the kick mic or snare mic and then to adjust the track back x amount of milliseconds to acount for the...

    Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

    I have a pirated copy of The Foo Fighters new cd. I also own the cd though. I went to rip the tracks onto my iPod and it tried to intall some shit into my registry for copy protection. I was like, "fuck that". That's taking it quite a step too far, so I went and downloaded it instead as to...

    Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

    I had a roommate once that pirated every piece of software known to man. Photoshop, all the audio apps, web design apps, you name it he had it cracked. He asked me to show him how to use Pro Tools, b/c he had just gotten a crack of the latest version. I said, great, now that you have the...

    Do you really buy that expensive recording software?

    A friend of mine was working at Sonic Foundry here in Madison for almost five years and got laid off along with a bunch of other programmers b/c the company couldn't afford to pay them anymore. He was only making about $30k, which just about covers the cost of living here. Was piracy a reason...

    Recording / Doubling Rap Vocals

    you got some nice equipment there bro. I've heard that on some brittany spears tracks the vox are layered like 30 or 40 times over or some shit. I don't know if there's truth to that, and I can't see why that would be done... but that's crazy.. Ok.. I'm not very helpful, just wanted to give...

    Bass Button EQ Allowances

    Dude, you're a fuckin' moron. Learn a thing or two about audio before you start talking shit to people who know volumes more than you do on the subject. Go to K-Mart, buy your fuckin' extreme bass boost stereo, and have a blast with that.

    seeking mastering advice for demo recording

    So instead of getting a nice balanced mix by carefully listening to how each track works with one another, you'd rather slap an eq on the mains and hard limit the shit out of it? Oh wait, and then apply a sonic maximizer? Ouch.. jukebox, don't go near these suggestions!
