    Harrison Mixbus initial impression

    So over the holidays the temptation was too strong and I had to give in: I bit the bullet on Harrison Mixbus 10. Been poking around with project setup (see this thread for more details) and the process is pretty smooth if you're both well-versed with typical DAW workflows AND aware of...

    Recording... with limitations

    Greetings all! A group/band that I lead (to put it simply) is thinking of doing a proper recording of an acoustic folk-ish song later this spring -- around April probably. We are hoping to make a studio video at the same time and capture as much of it live as possible. Problem is, we have no...

    a New Year's resolution

    This subforum gets too little use… So I resolved to write at least some lyric every single day this year. Therapy + skill building, ya know? Might be very random, might end up writing some actual songs — we'll see! I'm hoping to post an update every so often. Open to comments & suggestions, but...

    Sidechain compression on reverb... how to?

    I was researching the production techniques used by one of my favorite artists, and I came across a post (on a different site) that mentioned something that intrigued me... "...it sounds like a plate reverb, high-passed, and a fairly wide eq cut at around 2.5k so that none of the harsh sounds...

    How do I "learn" my new monitors...

    Hi guys, Taking a break from politics to ask for help regarding my new studio monitors. They sound great and I know they have great frequency response, etc., but I'm having trouble making mixing decisions on them -- I've only used headphones until now. So I've been listening to a lot of music...

    MIDI input issues in Cubase LE

    Hi all, I'm not a big Cubase man but today I found myself in need of a means for recording my keyboard via MIDI. I have a USB MIDI from my keyboard into my MacBook Pro and the signal is getting to Cubase fine (there's a meter at the bottom right corner that clearly shows it gets the signal)...

    Heresy: How to make a realistic VSTi drum part

    Came across this today; general tips and tricks for making virtual drums sound realistic. I know, it's heretical! And believe me, if I had the money I'd be investing in a physical kit ASAP. But for us who dream on... Any other contributions?

    ...favorite drummers?

    As far as I'm concerned, these two can hold the fort by themselves: Simon Philips The Professor Metal drummers don't really do anything for me... I just find them to be bashers more than musicians (with the usual IMHO disclaimer) Of course, there is also that new fella Greyson Nekrutman, who's...

    Anybody use SDCs for vox?

    I've found the results to be quite satisfactory. Those I use are Shure SM81-LCs, they have an ok foam cap which is obviously vital for plosives/sibilance.

    How do you find my lyrics?

    Kinda bluesy; fuzzy guitar, e-piano, B3, drums, bass. Composition basically finished, want to hear your thoughts on the lyrics before I record them :) Verse 1 That morning star ain’t my lucky star Shining bright, it’s cold and far Another night of oblivion Shatters, I wake to hallucination...

    Best budget monitoring options

    So here's the deal. So far, my band and I have managed to play without any monitors. This is somewhat easy, considering our instruments are generally acoustic and our stages are small (not to say cramped). But coming up we may be playing a significantly larger stage (or two) where we'll have...
