    My Song with Guitar Rig

    yeah sounds great, reminds me of radiohead, I wouldn't say it's tuneless, it's got a tune, just a different style. I agree about the kick though, a bit floppy.

    Apex 460 vs Neumann U87ai hear for yourself

    yeah, they just put stuff like that in videos because it looks cool or because someone said it was the best of the best. Every detail is about awing the audience. They don't put honda accords in videos, they're in bentleys, drinkin cristal, singin into a U87. Plus everyone knows they record the...

    yo check out my new beattape and mixtape

    watch your input levels, sounds like your vocals are clipping sometimes and sometimes adlibs don't line up right. Vocals also need lots of eq and maybe some other effects. A better mic would probably help a lot, sounds like you're using a built in computer mic or something. Also listen to your...

    Scary Moves Together - Chick Track...

    the beat's pretty chill and the vocal layering would be nice, but all that autotune ruins it. and I've posted some rather profane stuff before as long as it's not some stupid look at my chain, murder murder type shit then it's cool.

    Should I be Mastering?

    yeah, all those mastering plug-ins are just collections of the same plug-ins you probably already have but they give you presets which are a quick and easy way to get an over-processed mix.

    Beats by kohie

    pretty nice, i'm loving that first joint and the rapper in the video is pretty sick on it, some of them are a little choppy but sampling is hard. keep bangin

    HELP!: Mixing vocals to fit in track.......

    Yes, your SM57 records a mono track, you would need more than 1 mic to make something stereo. You gotta do some mixing to get the vocals to sit in there properly. Maybe some compression on the master track. You probably will have to do some adjusting to the instruments to make space for the...

    FL Studio For Mixing

    I love FL, it's what I do most of my mixing on, it is much different than other DAW's but I have never felt hindered by it. I feel like I know how to do everything I want it to do, but if you've got some tutorials maybe I can learn something new, or an easier way of doing something.

    ESP Productions / ESP Beats

    pretty laid back and mellow, I can see some underground type hip-hop on these but I wish they would pick up or have some changes in them so it doesn't get boring.

    Screeching sound from Tascam US-122 mkII

    Yeah Tascam drivers suck, keep checking their website for updates. I've got windows 7 and a US-144 and I had a similar problem until they updated the driver(now i have different, but less annoying problems)

    Da Movement Quarantine The Vocal Booth 1st album

    sounds like you need a better mic mostly, but it's good for whatever you're using. Vocals are a little loud sometimes, turn them down and put a little compression on the master track to gel them in there a little better. also someone sounds too much like lil wayne, gotta find your own style...

    NEW Beat ive made with jeezy hook

    pretty bangin, I love that clap that sets it off and those drums thump, but maybe im not in the mood for it right now because it gets tiring being so intense in the midrange the whole time. Let it chill out more during the verses. like what if it is just bass and drums and some instrumental...

    NEW* Extraordinary (Beat by RapidBeatz)

    you need way more stuff happenin in that beat, give it some changes, layers, just make it more dynamic and give something to drive that melody. play some chords behind it, add a bassline, get some hi-hats in there at some point, change instruments, drum fills, pads, builds, whatever, just give...

    Constructive Criticism ~ My First Beat

    play with the velocity of those piano notes too, to make it sound more natural.

    using more than one DAW on projects

    For midi stuff, it's all Reason for me, but when it comes to recording and mixing I choose FL Studio, maybe only because I learned on it and am most comfortable with it, but I also like a lot of the stock fx. I've tried Ableton, which I would have liked to add as a 3rd daw to my system, but it...
