So I've been thinking about reverb a lot lately and was curious about different techniques in general so I decided to run some experiments. It's common to advise producers and engineers to send tracks to one reverb instantiated on an aux tracks for the sake of CPU but I was curious if this...

So I'm trying to put together a little cheap digital guitar practice rig. I'll have a iPad running some guitar emulation software and I'll be getting to that via an audio interface with monitor outs. I'm trying to figure out a way to have a speaker setup without having to buy a pair of studio...

I’m looking to find a design that I can pass off to a contractor for a sound proof door that will separate my home studio from the hallway that leads down toward the bedrooms. It can get pretty loud in the studio and I’d like for anyone looking to rest or do anything else in their bedrooms to be...

I'm looking to build a soundproof wall. I'm searching around for a design and I'm not sure what will work best. Can you guys point me to a good one if you have any experience? Right now I'm leaning toward the Double Leaf design.

Does anyone know of professional service that does sound proof walls in South Jersey?

Hey guys, Its that time again. I just made a move into a new space and I really need some advice on treating it. Its quite the awkward room for a studio but its really all I have to work with. I'll try to be as detailed as possible with the description. So the first couple things to note are...

I was reading about impedance (still confused) but from what I gathered it is preferred that the input impedance of the preamp be about ten times the output impedance of the mic. I'm running a Telefunken u47 which has an output of 400 ohms into a Neve 1073. According to the manual, the Neve is...

I've been hearing more and more about mixers using compression and eq on their mix bus and I gave it a try. It definitely boosted my confidence as it brought me a lot closer to the material I was A/Bing during my process. My question is, should I leave the compressor and eq on when I send it...

So I've been thinking about ways to better achieve front to back separation using reverb. I would assume that generally most mixers want to produce the illusion that everything in the production is sitting in a 3D space. I've been experimenting with the use of predelay and found there is quite a...

So I don't normally do much high gain stuff. Crunchy rhythms is my usual. A song I'm working on called for a lead tone during the hook. I cranked up some pedals and laid something I'm pretty satisfied with. The only problem is that there is a pretty loud feedback in it. I managed to EQ it out...

I'm going to have to apologize for yet another Compressor Question but I'm attempting to make leeway in my understanding these things. I understand that the attack time is the time it which it takes the compressor from the point the threshold is passed to finish clamping down on the audio. It...

I'm coming back from a mixing hiatus and I'm planning on doing a lot more live drum sounds in the future. Please feel free to tear this apart. Even the smallest critique is highly encouraged. Thank you. https://soundcloud.com/bdam123/drum-test

So I have a number of keyboards that I want to hook up into my PTHD setup. I previously had plans to route all of them into directly into my interface after they hit a Coleman MS6 Aux Switcher (I have 6 keyboards that will be routed into a pair of inputs). Then it dawned on me, would the...

Money not being and issue. What are your dream pair of near field studio monitors?

I have a room that I want to use as a vocal booth and maybe also do some guitar cab recording. The room is 7' 4" x 11' 4" x 10' 2". How should I treat this room to optimize it for recording?

So I just moved into a new place. I have a room that will designated as the studio that has some unique features. I was on here a few months ago asking question about my last work space so I have a basic grasp on how I should be treating the room. I have a few questions that hopefully you guys...

So for the past week I've been trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can about treating room acoustics. Unfortunately, the more I read and learn the more I feel like I know nothing. I was hoping some of you guys could help guide me in the right direction and answer a few minor questions. The...

I've had my Mackie Big Knob for a few years now and I think its finally conking out. I was wondering if there were any high end companies producing the same kind of controller. If I'm going to have to replace it soon, might as well upgrade. Thanks

Own a pair of Mackie HR824s but one of my speaker cones got damaged during a move. I was planning on replacing the speaker but decided to look around a little bit. What are you guys using? How much do you like them? Heard anything you really liked lately?

Hey guys, I own a Telefunken AK47 and its been giving me some problems lately. Sometimes I'll turn it on and its super quiet, sometimes its at correct volume but it filters the sound, and sometimes its fine. Usually when its not working correctly, I'll fiddle with the power supply or cable and...
