Jerberson, you have fundamental misconceptions about how audio works. Your interface does not "import" anything. If someone sends you any sort of audio file, it doesn't go through the interface at any point in time. As I said, you don't even need an interface to import or export anything...

Thanks for responding fellas. That's my guess too. What I'm trying to find out is if there are any established "rules" about it i.e. a certain percentage or ratio. My guess is that anything past 10% will create this effect. The interface isn't even used, the samples are already inside the...

Hey kids, I'm finding that some of the samples I use (piano, drums) are too wide in the mix. Some I can't change in the vst software. I bounce all vsts to audio. When I try to narrow them, they seem to lose some luster and perhaps high end. Why is that? Also, is there a preferred way to...

That's correct, but it doesn't matter: I'm out of my element and am beginning to embrace that. My instrument is the orchestra, not midi. For the past 3 years I've been writing symphony charts, I've had 19 performed since January 1st alone. It's the only musical language I am 100% fluent in and...

As well you should be, as it's catchy and well-produced. My suggestion would be to add some more bottom (i.e. lower frequencies) at about 1 minute in. The treble aspect of the production is cool but it's tiring,l so maybe start like that and have a little more bass as it goes, it will balance...

100% serious: I've been in my car at LEAST 100 times, and into my head pops "Steerin the boat like Captain Stubing....pops a doob in..Rick Rubin...Cold Cubin.:guitar:

Thanks for the comments, fellers. Yeah, the bass was a bad idea.:D It started as a normal bass patch. I got over-zealous and ran it through Guitar Rig 4 and things went downhill from there. I'll try to make this track a lil more organic, all the other ones are. 10 real fiddles on this. Needs a...

... after taking a few years off to concentrate on symphony charts. This one is a Christmas track: Angels Prelude by David Kempers on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free If ya have a minute, have a listen. Thanks.

B) Doing OK, how bout yourself? I'm doing a little recording for the first time in several years so I thought I'd read a bit at this dump.:laughings: I'd have to say , I stumbled upon one of the funniest posts right away. "Recomposition"? That's rich!

Dude, you are completely full of shit.:laughings:

Here's a recording I made recently. Walking in the Air I used: 1. Crap mic (less than $100) 2. M audio interface ($199) 3. Sonar 8.5 ($400) 4. Noisy apt living room 5. Samples and effects (I won't lie, that shit was pretty expensive:D) 6. Me (cheap date) 7. Violin (super expensive) 8...

Thanks for the comments. Sorry, I should have clarified that this is a cover of a well known christmas/winter song. Perhaps it's not as popular in the US, people in the UK would know it. It's from a cartoon called "The Snowman". The drums are there primarily to mask. Without them, it sounds...

Howdy kids, long time. Walking in the air Any mix comments would be appreciated. Thanx!

Lemme 'splain: Some gigs are union, most classical gigs are. I'm a classical player, so I have to be in the union, I've been in for 25 years. If I am not in, I can't do union gigs. I can do non-union gigs as long as I don't make a lot of noise about it, everyone does. You join the union if you...

OK Slick.:confused:

Talent is 99% hard work.

The UK union is much different than the American one.

Thats not what I said. What I said (or at least meant:D) was home gear of the 2000s will get you a sound comparable if not much better than the sound of pop recordings of the 60s.

There's a certain amount of semantics involved in that. I would phrase it this way: Can one achieve Beatles-level fidelity with home gear? Yes. . I dont think there is an average. If the average is a cracked copy of Fruity Loops and an mxl mic, then sure. But a decent setup with a DAW, some...

HR member Rami has covered several Beatles tunes and posted them in the mp3 clinic. Here's a link to some clips of a few: http://www.ramirami.com/?mpf=frame& AFAIK he's using home recording stuff. It's probably a little higher on the food chain than your M-audio/MXL crowd, but I don't think...
