We have the necessary tools to compete in the pro arena today. The playing field is level in every technical respect. However, music composition, recording, engineering and production skills take time and experience. You can't buy them or achieve them on a forum kiosk like this. The question is...

Hey Paul., You've got a lot of great melodies happening. Not hard to describe at all. You did that fine. That's actually the first step to achieving your goal in becoming a great composer, engineer and producer for film and video music. And today, you really need to wear each of those hats and a...

Angglxxoo..... Early garage band Pop. They (record companies) used to call it 'Indy" as in "indefinable" or, "independent". You're actually a product of your influences so, who ever was (is) the most impressionable in your music world usually bears the most impact on your music creativity. That...

OK so, Steinberg's Cubase 8 has "Pro" now. https://www.steinberg.net/en/shop/buy_product/product/cubase-pro-8.html Makes me wonder what's more professional in a DAW. But I guess because Cubase soesn't have "tools" you might not be able to fix anything with it...:confused::laughings:

Efficiency comes with time invested. You can't cut corners with experience and expect to be exceptional. You want to be more efficient but not by overlooking important details. I'm speaking from an artist's point of view. Not a production engineer's point of view. If time restraints are imposed...

Using the best technology you can afford for your productions is always a good start. That said, I use both cans and external monitors for recordings and mixes alternating. A lot! I have to make compromises in every mix I do. My DT 880 Pros with my head phone amp boosts all the lower frequencies...

I like the contrasts you make in tonalities. There's some really nice stuff on this album. Nice work. As an instrumentalist, I can appreciate. But I'm listening to MP3's (I believe. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.) I feel like I'm missing about 30 or 40% of the detail and dynamics. Do you...

How do I want my final mixes to sound to anybody who plays back my music on anything? If this forum isn't just about Kid Pop and Rock (and all it's various forms and genres) mastering does two important things. 1, it gives distinction where there might not have been much and separation for...

I guess DAT players/recorders went the way of cassettes. I stopped using my Panasonic SV3700 back in 08 when I transitioned to DAW recording and everything digital. Not that I'm anti-analog, but today everything you wanted in analog sound can be duplicated digitally today so, why be burdened...

Why Reaper? Because it's almost free? If you're just starting out recording on a DAW, go directly to Cubase. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. A few people I know have no issues with Reaper but everyone else I know in this business of DAW recording does...

Let your melody/lyrics/message dictate the band arrangement. Not the other way around. Don't put the cart before the horse. (band track before the lyrical/melodic message.) (I know. Tough choices) Ask., what do you want your audience to focus most upon. The guitars or the lyrical message? Your...
