Just looking to update my acoustic drum samples. My selection is pretty limited. Unfortunately when I search this on Google, I find a lot of articles with expired links. Any suggestions out there for current resources?

Heya. I have a song and I want it to cut out in a certain way, kinda like a tape reel broke or something. It's hard to explain, but you can kinda hear it on this song at about 32 seconds in... Lyrics :. Metallica - I Disappear - YouTube. I'd like it to be more pronounced though... anyone have...

Hey there. I'm switching to Mac for my DAW needs. Previously I've used Fruity Loops on Windows and with that, I can sequence drum sounds from my library and import them into my multitracking software, each with their own channel for individual eq, reverb, etc. Messing with Logic, I see that...

Hello there. I've been an Audition 3 user for a long time. I bought a retina Macbook (16GB RAM, i7 2.3) that smokes my PC, so I retired the PC for DAW use. I've been using boot camp to go to Audition 3, but it's just starting to become a pain, and Audition is starting to show it's age. Since I'd...

Hey there. Ok, I realize this isn't a recording question, but I enjoy this forum much so I figured I'd ask here. I have an acoustic song with vocals that I'm going to perform at my college. I'm just using a acoustic combo amp to run the acoustic and a vocal mic into. If I have some soft parts...

Heya. I used to have an EMU 0404 PCI card. I have a laptop that's a zillion times faster, so I ditched my computer and decided to go the USB route. 1. Latency. This was non-existant with PCI, so I have a bit to learn. I'm curious, as I turn down the latency, audio distorts... is this distortion...

Heya. So let's say you've got all your tracks laid out and mixed to your liking. And let's say it's rather quiet... like it never goes higher than -15db on the master fader. What do you do? My buddy let me borrow his TRacks suite, and if I recall correctly, you want a little bit of headroom, but...

Hey, I just picked up a new Presonus 22VSL and could use some pointers. I am looking to record vocals with a condenser mic, electric guitar with an active pickup, and bass with a passive pickup. I was thinking about the following path for all three: Presonus TubePre > Presonus 22VSL > computer...

Hey there. Embarrassing question here. I've been using a tube preamp to warm up vocals, bass and guitar, and running it straight into an audio interface. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the whole "line-level out into an instrument-level in" factor. D'oh! So, my question, what exactly does this...

Hello there. I've been using a PC for my DAW. I have two internal drives (one for Windows + DAW software, the other for audio library). I just bought a new fancy shmancy 15" Mac retina laptop that blows the pants off of my PC (in terms of hardware specs), but I'm limited to a single internal...

Ok, this is my first song for review. Let me start by explaining a couple things. One, I'm buzzed as hell but it's really the only way I can get the nerve to post a song, so forgive any typos. Two, I'm a guitarist that is ok at bass and drums. Three, I suck at vocals. I have a deep voice and I'm...

Hi there. Just sorta starting to use my new recording setup. I'd really be thankful if someone could critique my mixing levels / tone of intruments and any other pointers (besides tearing me a new one for my smills, or lack thereof!). Would this be the proper subforum to do so? And also, any...

Hi there. So this may be a question with no solution so long as I'm recording in my bedroom. I'm recording vocals and pick up a decent amount of background noise (surprise surprise). My computer is in the same room, and I imagine the fans are a decent portion of the noise. When I delete the...

Hi there. I'm trying to figure out if there's any good secrets about how to make guitars sound big and hiss-free. Clean guitar seems to be cake, and I'm pleased with the tones I'm getting relative to drum and bass. However, distorted guitar is another beast. I'm going fairly light on the guitar...

Hi there. I'm using real drum kit samples and have all the drums broken out into separate tracks. I'm curious if anyone has any advice on which drums they recommend reverb on, if not all tracks to varying degrees? I imagine the biggest one is reverb on the snare. I also imagine that reverb...

This freaking patchmix software is driving me nuts. I know it bugs other people, as the consensus is that patchmix totally sucks ass. At any rate, I'm stuck with it for now until I can buy something better. I'm using the PCI E-MU 0404 with Adobe Audition 3.0 and could use some serious pointers...

Hello there. I have an EMU 0404 PCI sound card that has two 1/4" ins and two 1/4" outs. I run the outs to a channel on my four channel mixer. It might even be this mixer shown on someone else's photobucket: https://img693.imageshack.us/i/behringer802.jpg/ . Anyways, I have connected my monitors...

Hi there, Let me start by acknowledging I have some older software. However, I'm comfortable with both, though I'm happy to receive suggestions if they aren't too pricey (broke college kid here!). I use Fruity Loops 6 with drum kit samples to arrange realistic sounding rock drums sequences. I...
