For what you're going to be recording Rick, I think you're going a little over-kill. First, I would make sure your monitor listening triangle is away from any wall. Bass traps in room corners, yes. (remember that bass frequencies are low to the floors and omni-directional) High frequencies love...

You're obviously not interested in monitoring professional audio where you're looking at bottom-feeder prices. Why not save up for some good, "average" monitors like the Yamaha HS 5's or HS 8's? Very practical. Very affordable. Very well made and extremely dependable. Save your allowance money...

If you listen to the sequence of songs that are to go on the album-as, a fan or unknown person might like to hear the sequence unfold, just imagine the impact space or no space would have between songs. Here, you must engage your own sense of mature objectivity. Especially if it's your songs...

This is actually a very good point. I think the old analog guys need the mix window because of the familiarity factor. I know I did. Nothing wrong with that. But these days I prefer not having to toggle between both screens, stretch or minimize windows when I'm focused in an edit mode. And, for...

CaliGal, If you're planing to be professionally competitive, you're going to need to invest in reliable hardware and software. This of course includes an OS that won't choke. If you're a musician first and an engineer/producer 2ND, you could always pick up a copy of Cubase 6 on Amazon...

Hi CaliGal, Why OS X? Maybe I'm the wrong guy to resp to your thread here. But you mentioned Cubase LE. Don't go there. My experience with Cubase goes back 7, 8 years. I stopped upgrading Steinberg's Cubase at 6.5. C-8 is out now but offers me no more than I can use with C-6.5. The highest...

Yes. The left channel acoustic. The one the song can work with without any other instruments. Tip; Don't change the settings of the guitars during the length of the song. These are important instruments that EQing and panning would be noticed by the average listener. This is a production NO NO...

Lotta nice subtle chord changes in here. Kinda Beatley..Very good song. I might suggest soloing the vox with the LC guitar and EQing more definition in the frequencies between the two. Tom rolls sound a little "programmed". Maybe give the snare a tweak up in the upper mid range and add a little...

Check your main output volume. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6SD0tTuseY Hope this helps.

This piece kicks *** Very musical and lots of energy. Great job Raz.

Still, as a beginner, I'd go with Cubase because even if you invest in the full version for about $500., Cubase 8 has the basics laid out and simple to understand features for the novice user. I can see Cubase eliminating it's lessor sophisticated versions in the near future and offering only...

Thanks for this Cal. But I was actually looking for someone who has this software and can tell me what their experiences were/are with the two. I own the software and it might be helpful to share some pros and cons with it as well as to receive some user feedback.

The one that brings you closer to the money?

Are you sure it doesn't mean "PROcrastination"? Or, PROmotion? Or, PROlific? Or, PROprietary? Or, PROhibitive?

especially where the programmer is actually a really great drummer with seasoned chops. Ya left this part out bongoboy.

MIDI and digital recording is the standard today. Deal with it or get left behind. What do you think Beethoven or Mozart would have done with the quality of samples and how they can be utilized in practical terms? While there's much to be said for musicians working together recording, mixing...

Has anyone had any experience with Halion sonic 2 and Halion 5 they would like to share? Pros and cons... Thanks.

It's like asking., "what's the best car on the road?". Or, What's the best detergent? The best petrol, the best carpentry tools etc..etc.... At the end of the day, and as always, you get what you pay for 98% of the time. Who has the time and money to use every DAW out there to it's fullest...

Is it possible to record a rock record using midi/as a one man band? I prefer it anyway.

Is it possible to record a rock record using midi/as a one man band? Right. De-perfecting is an art in itself. The quick answer to the question is yes. Of course you can. If you're a MIDI keyboard composer/song writer, your DAW and all the VSTs and plugins are your tools of the trade. Learn...
