I'm going over there right now to subscribe. Here's why: 1. You don't come on here and pick fights. 2. You give straightforward advice without preaching or talking down to people. 3. You write with a helpful, friendly attitude. 4. You know what you're talking about (I'm fairly new to music...

You disagree with the advice given by Jperieda, Ralis, and Rod Norman? Keep in mind, they all said something to the effect of "There are no answers, you've gotta figure it out for yourself, but here's what I do". I found that really helpful and gave them all rep points.

Hah, with this interface stuff you guys are starting to remind me of my mom when I was a kid: Mom: "You need to go do X!" Me: "Okay, I'll go do it." Mom: "You need to go do X!" Me: "Uh...didn't I just say I would?" One might almost get the impression you thought an interface was important or...

Good to know, thanks. I think I read elsewhere too that it's better to mix at low volume.

Yep. I went on there and voted for the "I don't expect my music to sound professional" option. I can't emphasize enough that I'm not expecting a professional result. I'm just trying to get the best result with what I've got. My limited experience has shown me that with care, patience, and by...

Is there an English translation of that link somewhere? Nothing against Boris Mikhaylov, but when he writes stuff like "A typical stereo records are being made to listen by speakers" I have trouble understanding him.

I hear that. Like I said, I'm going to sell my mixer to buy an interface (you guys convinced me on that one) and I'll try and borrow anything else I can. As for monitors, I really don't know yet. Even if I could afford some, I mostly never get the opportunity to play music above a whisper in my...

Yep, I hear ya. So, I decided to sell my mixer to buy an interface. That's step 1. Then I know I can probably borrow some other gear from friends.

I see how you might have gotten that impression, but it's not really accurate. I've done a tiny bit of recording before, not knowing anything really, and I was already impressed with what I got. (I don't know what I was expecting...cell phone quality recording maybe.) Then I started listening to...

Junkiest maybe, but I am willing to put in effort and as much time as I can. So, I think the "easiest, most halfassed" part of your criticism is unfair. As for cutting back somewhere else, that once was easier to do back when I was single and had no kids. I don't know if you're the sole...

That answers another question I was wondering about.

FOR FUTURE READERS: I just found an imperfect but optimal solution. The speaker system in my car was able to bluetooth-sync with my laptop. Others may be able to hook into their car audio via other means. The car audio is stereo, it's reasonably good quality (certainly better than computer...

My little brother is Mat Zo. He was using KRK monitors in his studio for a while, but then I think he switched to something else for the same reason, though I can't remember what he switched to. You could probably ask him on Twitter. He might be relieved to have a technical question.

Good question. They certainly won't be using professional sound systems...I guess it'd be either of the 3 you listed.

I know I shouldn't mix using headphones, and I understand why I shouldn't use them. But here are two reasons why I probably will anyway: -Recording music is just something I do for fun in my very limited free time--hopefully I can do it well enough to create something that will impress my...

Why, is there something funny in the water?

Thanks, that's all great advice!

Well, I had some confusion initially, but once I understood why I needed a good interface that whole line of discussion got kinda moot. Now you can assume that I'll do my best to get the best signal going in, so the focus of the thread can go back to guitar layering tips.

Awesome advice, thanks.

Wow, that is surprising. Not because it's the NY Times (which is a joke publication) but because even while making this thread I thought it was kinda silly.
