Hey there. I'm playing drums and bass and guitar on here. This is the first mix I've ever done using outboard compression in the mix phase. I enjoyed it and learned a lot. I know you don't really need anything that's not ITB these days but for me this was a great learning experience. Recommend...

I use logic remote. It is a really cool feature. I link my iphone to the macbook pro and am able to hit start and stop record etc while I am sitting at the drum set on the pother side of the room from my DAW. The dang thing worked properly for about a week. Then it stopped linking up and I was...

I know very little about live sound let alone live vocal processing, so any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance. I have two EV ETX35s (powered 3 way speakers). I am happy with them, they are super loud and sound good. Right now I am running sound into them with a Mackie 1604 VLZ. It's mostly...

Hey there. This is a classic rock band I recorded in my basement. We recorded the drums, bass and rhythm guitars live and then overdubbed vocals and lead guitar. I don't play on this one, which is kind of neat - I got to just run around setting levels. I don't have anything in particular to...

I use Yamaha HS80s 3 feet from the back wall on acoustic pads on my desk facing long-ways in a rectangle room that is 16.5 x 35.5 with 9 foot ceilings. I have wood floors and superchunk bass traps floor to ceiling in 3 of the corners and OC703 4 inch thick 2x4 traps all over the walls and...

OK this is my friend's band. We recorded the guitar, drums, and bass live at my house and then overdubbed the vocals. All comments welcome. Most of my music is instrumental so mixing vocals is kind of a new thing for me. Thanks! Edit 1: I tried to do all the suggestions. It's less loud and less...

OK this is my first mix in Logic - been a PT guy for a long time but I never upgraded. Needless to say Logic X is better than PT 6.9. I am not familiar with the plug-ins at all. I did a lot of experimentation with this one. First time recording new drum set. First time playing drums in a long...

So I was experimenting with this method the other day with some changes. I have a pair of Naiant SDCs that I've been using as overheads. Lately I've been feeling like they were a bit thin sounding and considering an upgrade. Then I was reading about the Glyn Johns technique. Someone on a forum...

I have limited experience with Alesis (I had an ADAT and played a DM6 this weekend) but it hasn't been good. The ADAT functioned properly for about 2 weeks. I sent it back to them twice for repairs. Each time they sent it back to me without fixing it. I ultimately used it purely for the A/D...

Hey there. I am using PT 6.9. I recorded some tracks in Logic (must be a new version, I got it in the past year) that I would like to import into pro tools. I have done this before but with garage band - which is Logic lite. For some reason PT is telling me it can't read the files. I've tried...

Hey there. This a little song I wrote after being inspired by a bunch of surf rock. I was listening to the Mermen and Shark Quest and decided I wanted to mess around with that genre. This was recorded live in my basement and then I added keys and acoustic guitar plus I had the other guy...

Is there a fundamental difference between the two? I have an ancient version of Pro Tools with the stock plug-ins for my main recording computer (I also run a new version of logic on my laptop). For some reason if I boost the gain using the compressor or EQ whatever I am boosting starts to...

Hey there. I am a midi n00b. My first forray into MIDI was using Garageband and a USB keyboard. I like it because it is simple. I plug in the keyboard, pick my sound, and go. The problem is I recorded the album for my band using all sorts of random garageband sounds (lol) but I would like to...

I am not having any luck finding these things. I would like to have some more options for sounds. Please tell me where and how to look. I already tried the ap store. I don't mind paying for decent quality. All I'm finding on the app store are chord helpers and tutorials and some doohickey that...

I have a question about noise and interference. Background: I'm trying to record my band live. My original plan was to have my keyboard player run line outs to the PA and Audient ASP008 simultaneously. If we plug him into the PA (Mackie 1604 VLZ ---> a pair of E/V ETX 35Ps) there is no problem...

Hey there. My band plays alternative rock/blues/punk. My bass player is looking for a new bass amp. Sweetwater has a sale for the Orange 500w terror 2 x 12 for $988 (usually $1450). This strikes me as a decent deal but I've never played that particular amp before. I have an Orange Rockerverb 50...

I have a Mackie 1400i amplifier that I would like to use for a PA. It's actually for my second PA because my band has two practice spaces. I am trying to cobble together a "B" PA using stuff I already have except for speakers. I am planning to run a Mackie 1604 vlz into the 1400i. Mostly...

I am considering buying a B rig. -One that I can travel with or use at other people's houses. I am considering a an RME babyface or focusrite scarlett 18i8 to use with my Audient ASP008 via ADAT. I've been using pro tools for the last 10 years so I know almost nothing about other software and...

Hey, I am thinking about getting another interface as my B rig - something that is reasonably portable. Right now I'm using a digi 002 with desk top. I want that to stay in my basement. Lately we've practicing at my bass player's house and I would like to be able to record there and have it...

Haha most of you guys are probably surprised I did this seeing as how I mostly cave dwell and lurk elsewhere. Anyway, this is an album I had a lot of fun making with some some old friends. This is a band that is based around having fun. We all write in different styles. The keyboard player...
