Sounds like a grounding issue. Try plugging it into a different socket, or maybe a different house all together and see if it still makes the noise. Try getting a power conditioner, that may help too, but I'm not sure if that will fix a grounding issue.

I just upgrade my interface from a Firepod to a Saffire Pro 26 (the older emerald coloured one) and I'm a little bummed out. I never had bit loss problems with my firepod, but now about every 20-30 minutes I start hearing clicks and pops in my speakers and if I'm recording something, it will...

I'm super pumped to announce that February Album Writing Month (FAWM) has began today! This will be my first time participating in the annual month of intentional creativity as the last two years I've wanted to do it I was too busy with school, but now I just have a lame job to deal with! If...

Thanks again guys :) It's a stand up bass, and that's what the singer plays (it's her band) so I thought it should be up front. I agree it does sound a little overly compressed, and I think it was in an effort to get it louder. I'd like to remix it sometime. One thing I realized I did was put...

Ya man, I've been doing my research as well, and I think I'm going to go for it for sure. I've been bouncing back and forth between the 16 and the 32 tho. I really don't care much for the screen, I'll be looking at my monitor when using it mostly anyways, but the things I want are the extra...

Hey thanks guys :) It just has a little amateur feel to me. I've just found myself having to turn my speakers up after listening to other music and switching to this, but then again, most of what I listen to is rock, so maybe i'm not taking into consideration the genre. I also find a lot of my...

So I've put this song up on the MP3 Mixing boards before, and I was given a lot of great feedback, but unfortunately none of it really helped the matter at hand. I'm having a really hard time getting my mixes up to volume, even after I run it through some basic mastering (WaveBurner). I was...

Hey man, this thing looks great! Give me hope for my future (looking to buy a house in the next year!). I'm wondering if you can go into a little detail on the diffusers you made for the plug. What material did you fill it with and did you measure it all our or just randomly fill it?

Just reading back over it again, this line stuck out to me. I know this is true, but when the instruments are in action, it's swimming in just the right amount to me. I'm still unsure what kind of verb I want to get this sound that's of the medium or small sizes. I guess I'll just have to go...

Yeah, I think I'm realizing that too. I wish I knew how to pick out a good verb! A lot of my favourite records use long verbs, but for some reason they just don't seem to be swimming in it. I guess I'll have to try to start with something of the small and medium variety before I make my way to...

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I don't think this is the problem, I think it's more of using a super wet reverb that sounds good in the mix when everything (drums, bass, guitar) is playing (because it's mostly getting covered up) but when things start to drop down on the instrumental front, the...

Thanks for replying Glen. I actually wasn't sure if anyone would because I was pretty much resurrecting a 3 week old thread! I will definitely try getting my verb levels in the quieter parts of the song. Do you set your verbs when you solo the track or while it's in the mix? Here's a perfect...

Devoted Logic user here gonna give a +1 for Logic. I like not being tied to specific hardware, and especially for someone starting out it's nice to be able to explore a bit. You can buy cheaper things in small amounts, rather than having to save up a grand before you can even get started. If...

So I tried to post a reply to this about 3 weeks ago, but the server went down after I hit submit, and I didn't want to retype it all because I was at work, so I'm just now responding! I agree with you Glen, automating reverb wouldn't feel natural for me to do, because in a proper environment...

I've been thinking a large part of my workflow that's slowed down is dialing in my EQs and Compressors on each channel. I was thinking of getting a behringer bcr2000 to use just for my plugins, but then I saw that the Focusrite Liquid Mix 16 was only 200 dollars. Putting aside the fact that I'm...

What's the black stuff they're putting up on the walls inbetween layers of drywall?

I've been mixing using the built in reverbs that came with Logic Pro, and they get the job done, but I'm struggling to find the right volume for my reverbs. The problem is, I don't like my verbs to be super noticable, so i'll keep them back in the mix, or find one that isn't so obvious, but then...

I just recorded some acoustic using an SDC at the sound hole about an inch away coming in from the neck side, and an LCD about 3 inches away. It gave a good sound, but I'd probably try something different next time just because I think I can get a better result. I didn't really have much time to...

http://benrosenbach.com/choons/SunnyDayLoveMast2.mp3 So here's what I did. I turned the kit down quite a bit and also turned just the kick down and did some EQ tweaking on the overheads, I think they sound quite better. I switched the compressor on the snare from the "Platinum" setting in...

Hey thanks Jeff. This is actually the tamest kit I've mixed, I usually have my kit WAY too loud, but I guess it's still too loud. I recorded the drums with LDCs so they would sound more open, but it does pick up a bit more of the brassiness, I guess I'll have to try filtering out some higher...
