    vocal/beat production room

    i would flip that desk around so it is facing the opposite way as well so you're not getting bad reflections from right behind you

    studio desk in the making

    I wouldnt wall mount, its better to get the speakers away from the wall, but decoupling would be good. I would go wider with the speakers though for 3 reasons, 1. it looks like you are saying that your speaker cones will be less than 32" apart, i think that is too close to get a proper stereo...

    EQing

    There will almost always be more than one sound in any given frequency range. If you have a vocal track and a guitar track, they are going to overlap in frequencies. It's a matter of using eq sweeps to find the frequencies that are too pronounced or that build up too much between the tracks, cut...

    Setting up studio monitors with audio interface (mac) HELP

    itunes probably isn't going to run on your profire soundcard. If you want to listen to itunes or other sounds from your computer on your monitors, you need to find a way to plug them directly into your computer, maybe using a 1/8 to RCA. Probably the only sounds you can run through your...

    Monitor Recomendation

    The plugins may not be hearing the tracks, but you're plugins can't automatically make something sound good. YOU, the listener has to determine that and set the plugins to do so. And just being able to see something gives you no basis to apply those plugins. You have to hear it, which is why a...

    Online collab fun

    So I found this great forum, some of you may know of it,The Womb. They do this thing called CAPE where basically people sign up, and based on their 'specialties' (songwriting, mixing, guitar playing, etc.), they are put in groups. Each group then makes a song by sending stems back and forth to...

    Monitor Recomendation

    That said, consider getting some room treatment as well to get the most out of the monitors you do choose.

    How to get my old sample database modern

    In your preferences you can try changing the project to 24bit, the daw might automatically resample the audio (this could negatively affect playback speed). But there won't be any increase in quality so why not just send the mastering engineer 16bit? They might ask for 24bit but I'm sure they...

    Monitor Recomendation

    I doubt there are any 'good' monitors for that price, especially a pair. You could get ONE KRK Rokit 5 for that price. Even that isn't a great monitor, but a lot of people will say they are decent. I use the Rokit 8's and I like them. You could also get M-Audio BXA5 for about the same price as...

    Rhythmikinesis!

    Looks like you are the first and I appreciate your comments. There is no rapping though, so I'm not sure what you were hearing. Anyone else? Or is it sooo good that no one has any criticism?

    My Final Last Post

    I gotta agree with this. And I'm also wondering, is it music that is not working in your favor? Or rap music? I can EASILY see where someone would get bored doing rap. Maybe try something new, it can be rejuvenating and inspirational. Start a punk band or something.

    Just made a V.I.P. soundclick...what do you think?

    Overall the stuff sounds good but some of it is a little simple/repetitive. And I think you should make a new tag, the one you have is kinda hard to understand, like the guy has a thick accent or something. Also you have it happening too often, like every 4 bars of every song it's in there and...

    Please Critique My Mix

    I'm listening on shitty speakers so I can't say much about the mix but it sounds good on here. It's got a nice creepin' vibe. I wish that main piano riff would change up sometimes though. keep it up

    "Slow Dance" New R&B influenced beat. Check it out.

    Listened to Slow Dance and Platinum. As always, nice stuff man. Love the jazzy samples, real smooth. But, like I always say, I'd like to hear the beats change up some more.
