    Using Ipad as guitar effects processor

    this is such a hard question to get an answer to. basically i have garageband on the ipad, i don't mind using those effects as my guitar effects and i want to know how to connect my guitar to my ipad - use the guitar effects from garageband or amplitube apps - and then connect my ipad to an amp...

    Good VST Parametric EQ

    Spectrum Analysis is certainly a useful tool for someone like myself, i'm into making music not engineering it. i don't need to worry about any badge of honor just cause i need a visual aide to show me things that are over my head. perhaps for people who make a living out of this its another way...

    Wish My Friend Wasn't Such A Slacker

    i don't even think Autotune can help me. hahaha in all seriousness when it comes to music i'm the type that holds true to a simple mantra: know what you do well, then do it. know what you don't do well, and have someone else do that thing.

    Wish My Friend Wasn't Such A Slacker

    i think i heard of that site too. i know its rather presumptuous of me to think i have a song that people would wanna copy off of or steal, but this one is big time. ideally i'd like to comfort of just sharing with my friend knowing he won't screw me, but the sophistication of someone who's...

    Wish My Friend Wasn't Such A Slacker

    i write music, i don't express myself lyrically nor can i sing. i got a whopper of a song here and i excitedly sent it to my friend to write words and sing. this was 3 days ago. not that i expect him to have something created in a matter of 3 days or so but he hasn't even responded that he's...

    Finally It Makes Sense

    yeah, it was kinda weird they put that in until version 5. that's like Ford Edge, which debuted in 2006, not having the option to drive in reverse until 4 years later. lol since i have firestudio mobile that's also by presonus i think i read S1 is optimized for their interfaces. i don't know if...

    Finally It Makes Sense

    you know what i mean, like all drum instruments going to a drum bus, drum bus has a send routed to an FX channel that has reverb/compression on it so instead of having to put FX on each individual drum track i can do it just to drum bus. if that doesn't make sense then insert whatever it is you...

    Choosing monitors

    someone inevitably says "for just a little more money you can get ...". that's great. and if i spent a little more money in my car budget i can drive a mercedes. i'm not railing against the OP but its just the mentality us hobbyists share. you get so paralyzed and afraid to make a...

    Choosing monitors

    every hobbyist always thinks they're one set of better gear away from great sounding mixes. i just plunked down $300 on Rockit 5's. they won't make anyone's list of best monitors ever but the 5's a are big and take up a lot of room on my desk and since i'm a family man i can't blast my monitors...

    Finally It Makes Sense

    $200. thank god i realized i had Studio One Artist (their lite version) for free when i got my audio interface, so that's the price to upgrade to the Pro version. don't know how much Pro is outright by itself, don't know and don't care. lol worth every penny. i didn't mean for this thread to be...

    Finally It Makes Sense

    yeah i have Pro version so i can utilize any VST/3rd party plugin. i just recorded the greatest song i ever wrote on this thing. once i learned signal routing (and i'm kicking myself over how easy it is in hindsight) and was using busses and equally sending reverb and compression to multiple...

    Which monitors?!

    i picked up KRK5's on sunday as a fathers day treat to myself. prior to that i was using computer speakers to mix so anything above that would've been great. $300 was right about at my budget and i needed to buy them at Best Buy since i have their credit card. since this is for home recording...

    Finally It Makes Sense

    i've upgraded from Mixcraft to Studio One Pro and coming from a DAW that didn't utilize a mixer (Mixcraft) to one that does it certainly was a steep learning curve. couldn't grasp signal routing, sends, aux channels, busses, etc. but i kept plugging at it cuz i'm writing a song that i'm psyched...

    What is Mastering?

    People should check the title of this website. its called Home Recording. this is a hobbyist site - Dr Dre or Chris Lord Alge don't come here. ok so he didn't post in the newbie forum, whoop de do. moderators should just move it to the newbie forum for him.

    Templates

    I'm new to Cubase (5), I know how to set up and save a template but as I try to figure out how to set up signal routing with FX sends and busses and whatnot (also new to using a mixer and midi) i realized i don't want to ever worry about these connections and ins and outs again. i want to set it...
