The world's fastest computer is some supercomputer that runs environmental simulations of the Earth. I think it's in Japan although they might have topped the speed in the U.S. by now.

Laptops aren't the greatest for recording because of their slow hard drive speeds and your limitations on how much ram or what kinds of audio cards you put in. I was using a MOTU 828 and Sonar with a firewire PC card and had a lot of issues with stability, odd clicks and pops, and latency. I...

I think the test tone might be a good idea. A technique that the mp3 world uses is releasing the song with small parts garbled or cut out. Instead of the tone you could edit in yourself saying that this is an upaid for copy and only to be used by your client to listen to any other use is in...

OK, I already found one, the MOTU 24 I/O. That's a pretty sweet unit.

So I've actually been thinking about getting a HD recorder because of their reliability and the number of analog inputs available. I've been thinking about the Alesis HD and and the Mackie SDR. Can anybody think of some computer solutions to this problem? I'm looking for something with 16-24...

Some strange ideas: Have a 2 or 3 year old sing your vocal track and mix it into yours for a weird effect. Have someone with a resonant low voice to "be your bass guitar" singing the bass parts through a microphone with a little or a lot of distortion/fuzz. My friends and I recorded some...

Hi all, I was talking to a equipment dealer just the other day and they said the Mackie MDR was discontinued (which I knew) and that the Mackie SDR was soon to be discontinued (which I didn't know). As I was looking to buy one of these I was kind of disappointed. Does anybody know about the...

That PAIA website is pretty cool. I like the whole hands on aspect, I think I might have to try out some of their projects. Too bad they don't have plans for multitrack hard disk recorders.

Thanks for the link. I was actually looking at these but was confused because I thought Roland originally made the VF-11 and I had never heard of MAM.

Does anybody know of any good analog vocoders? I'm looking for one to play around with but have no clue what models to look for information on and what to look for in used instrument stores.

I really like sonomic.com because they have such a wide array of samples and you can preview them all. I haven't really checked prices recently but I believe you can pay by the sample or for a time period to access the whole library. http://www.sonomic.com/

search for Cher or vocal effects on this board. I believe there have been a few posts that have discussed/debated how these effects were done.

I think that most of you who are posting probably write better lyrics than a lot of the bands on the radio. I mean, some of their lyrics are really, really bad (like Blink 182's most recent album). It's very easy to look at your own lyrics and think that they suck. Most singers think their...

are you recording everything at once? Are the vocals recorded after everything else is laid down? You might want to play around with isolating your different instruments if things don't sound as good because other instruments are bleeding onto that track.

Use your diaphragm for more support. When you breathe in relax your stomach muscles out and when you sing a note suppot by slowly tightning these muscles and bringing them in. To get more resonance say the word "Hi" and support it with your diaphragm, when you say the word start up high in...

yeah, duct tape works great! I only have two mike stands but I can duct tape overheads so they hang from the ceiling and I've got an extra cymbal stand from my drum kit that doubles as a mike stand when duct tape is applied. Old desk lamps with those movable arms work well too, as long as you...

If you're a student all the big name softwares have academic discounts. I got SONAR at a significantly lower price with my student ID.

Hi all, I'm seriously thinking about buying an SDR 24/96. I'm still not clear on one thing. I would like to be able to import whole multitrackprojects into my PC from the SDR and work with them in SONAR. I read that .bwl format, which the SDR supports allows you to do this. Does anybody...

Wow, I learned a lot from that. I had no idea that it was a headroom issue and that all that data squashing was going on. Cool.
