Dove into the DIY pedals world today. First up was a booster i got from BYOC.com to practice. Worked first try! I got a octave fuzz and tube screamer clone I'm going to be putting together as well over the next few days. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I finish:D

Hey guys, I was just recently approached by a local production company and got to talking with the owner and found out they really didn't have a "sound engineer" on their team. I got to talking with them and told them I was more than capable of doing anything from voice overs or recording sound...

I have a good friend who recently recorded a song at home, got good results and a solid mix and sent it off to a person he found for it to be mastered and from what he said for it to be formatted to work with Itunes? It was a "website" mastering company, they never directly met with the person...

anyone want to slap me into getting these. I've been looking for cymbals on craigslist for months, and now that I find some I'm dragging my feet:facepalm: Just spent enough on upgrading to PT10 and a new mic, and of course that's why I'm just freaking out! Just don't know when the next time...

They just announced the tour a little while ago, just thought I'd share if anyone else is a Maiden fan on here. Maiden on the Charge More dates are going to be added soon apparently, luckily I get to see them at their first stop in Charlotte! Have never had a chance to see them, so I'm stoked...

Was just surfing youtube and found this video of what's called a flexifuser from prime acoustics. Can any of the more seasoned people here comment on the possible effectiveness of a design like this??? Essentially it's a two in one absorber/diffuser panel. Thought it was a kind cool idea, and...

Well I went to dinner to tonight at my local Outback Steak House and they had recently renovated the building and got all new everything and had all the old everything sitting out in pods in the parking lot. Well I spotted these: The booth seats. Now, yes they are foam, but this isn't...

Ok not really!:p But...we were talking about a lot of different types of sound treatment in one of my classes and the uses of rock wool, 703/5, and your other standard acoustic insulation that everybody uses. Somebody spoke up though and said that there was a "denim" insulation that he had...

Didn't want to hijack a thread in the microphone section but I had a question for you guys who use the sm7b and other mics needing a lot of gain..and I've seen it in quite a few threads...pretty simple question I guess. How much gain in the pre's are we talking here? Are we talking 30db, 40...

Anyone have any experience with these? I have a chance to pick up a matched pair for $450. Just need a little reassurance that these would make a good addition. I've been looking to find something to use as drum overheads, I've just been using sm57s with modest results. From prices new...

I feel like I'll posting in the newbie section for quite a while lol. Too much to learn :o EQ rack equipment...why have it? Because you record through this outboard equipment first correct? It's towards the beginning of your "signal flow" chain. Which means you be "pre-eqing" signals, not...

Hey people, I picked up the drums about 8 months ago and got myself a used ludwig kit with some shizzy zbt cymbals to learn on. Now almost a year later and a lot of time and work put behind learning my rudiments and techniques I'm looking for some new cymbals to add to the kit. Don't even know...

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the recording world and I'm currently apprenticing at a local studio. And I asked all the guys there this same question, and found the wide answers pretty interesting. Besides a SM57 ;)...What mic would you always grab and make sure you have on you when going into a...

(new question check 4th page) Ok I'm kind of confused on this and seems like these are going to be some really "dumb" questions:facepalm: So prepare yourself:o What is the difference here? you have a audio interface like a Presonus firestudio that has your xlr inputs, gain controls, built in...

I have a few of my friends in bands mention to me they would be interested in getting some live demos done. In most of the venues around my area, everything is mic'd up, drums, amps, and vocals and then run to a in house mixing board, then outed to the PA system and the monitors on stage...

Not quite sure if this belongs here or in recording techniques, but any who. How many tracks does it really take to get a true fullness of the guitar parts? I've been messing around a lot and am finding I need 4 tracks to get the fullness that I'm looking for. Comparing them to most...

So something that has been really puzzling me lately is how to record the individual tracks into my DAW. I'm new to recording in general and the site and trying to figure out the best most time effective way to go about my recordings. I honestly have no clue if professional musicians actually...

Ok I was given a Pearl P-122tw Double bass pedal recently from one of my friends. It however is missing the drive shaft, he lost it when he was moving. Is there any site out there that carries replacement parts for this. I've googled the hell out of this but just can't find a definitive...

I'm just getting into AE, new to the site, and just got my first little rig set up this week. I have the Tascam US-1641 so I can have 8 xlr mic inputs going at a given time and am running cubase 5. So far I have the MXL 990 and 991 combo set. I actually really like these I've got some great...

WELL THEN...I recently purchased the Tascam US-1641 and it came with Cubase LE5. I actually got everything working perfectly last night, but I go to start it up this morning and it's not working correctly. The problem is that when i click the record track button in cubase it doesn't record...
