So is phantom power the only consideration when deciding between 1/4" and XLR?

Hmm.. yeah I've seen those around.. Really cool looking, and I have no idea how to use them or what they do, but I agree I definitely need one.

Hi there. I have a Tascam M-2524 mixer which is coupled with a TSR-8 1/2" deck. Up to now, I've been tracking in Reaper using an audio interface (MOTU 8pre). Switching from the Tascam to the MOTU and back requires plugging and unplugging a whole buncha XLRs. I would like to keep them both set...

This might sound evasive but I've kinda always written songs. I started before I could play an instrument, listening to my folks' records with the volume turned down and pretending I was listening to something I made. Every song I write is an attempt to improve upon the last one, and that's why...

As the existence of our entire species doesn't even register a blip in the cosmos, in the carving of canyons and evolution of species, the indifference of space and the endless millennia that grind all known and unknown universes into dust gazillions of times over, you will be pleased to know...

If your song was rejected by "the whole country," then you're in pretty good shape. This means you are on the map. BUT... you're pimping a lot of dead links, and your Youtube has about 16 views. This paints a picture of someone who's not sure whether they want to put themselves out there or not...

Lol, so if I express an opinion different than yours, must be because I was insulted? That's pretty myopic dude.

It's funny to hear someone say that, because I *do* listen to *some* folk related stuff, and one of my favorite things about it is the dense and nuanced approach to instrumentation.. but I suppose if you're not a fan, what would even motivate you to dig deeper than the caricature of a "folk type...

Weird. I'm self-taught and do things a little differently, but I would never compare my hands against each other as weakest/strongest because they take on different roles. I'd feel just as weird tapping the ride with my left hand as I would playing the snare with my right. But neither hand is...

Well, I'm not marketing my music, but if I was, it would be for US, which is the set of me and everyone who thinks the same way I do about music.

Easiest thing is to start a thread here: https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/mp3-mixing-clinic/ And in it just copy and paste the link from your browser's address bar (the little thingy at the top that shows what page you are looking at) when you are on the Soundcloud page...

Believe it or not, there's software out there that makes it possible to program entire drum performances that never happened. I'd say correcting a few wonky notes in a real performance must sit at a somewhat lower level of deception, no?

Depends on who's home and the time of day when I start it.

50 isn't that much. Plenty of older recordings used close to that afa discreet inputs, but submixed them together, I think the "musical vision" you speak of is more: a)) There were financial barriers to recording, so it was more limited to people who were otherwise persistent/productive in...

Well for starters you could try getting rock musicians to play it.. With, ya know, guitars n drums n stuff. But it's not really a rock song is the problem you'll prolly run into.

People "release" all kinds of stuff. What kind of failure are you worried about? The stakes in this game aren't too high. Basically if you're happy with it, you're good.

That you even manage to get your shoes tied is nothing short of a miracle. ;)

There are a million ways to mix something in mono, there are a million ways to mix it in stereo. When you say it sounds better in mono, what you mean is that the ways you've tried to mix it in mono sound better than the ways you've tried in stereo, which of course says nothing conclusive about...

And a Merry Christmas to you as well. I like it. :) I hear what others are saying about the frequencies on the opening synth.. My synth has a lot of patches that do that also, and it can be frustrating with so many available sounds that are otherwise exactly what I'm looking for, but have...
