I just got a Samson Graphite MF8 control surface that I'll be using with Cubase 5. Samson — Graphite MF8 I got it to work pretty well by using the generic Mackie option in cubase along with the manufactures first preset that has basic stuff like the fader controls volume on a channel, knob...

I usually don't do full albums. It's mostly just do one song at a time that I attempt to "master". I like to wait a few days and not listen to the mix, then pull it up as if it wasn't mine and maybe a touch of EQ if it needs it, see what kind of effect some compression might have and then a...

I thought it would be really fun to try to build one of these modules. I like working with my hands but never thought about it for audio. Colour – DIYRE Anyway, if i were to make one of these 500 series modules, how would I power it? I know there are things like the API lunchbox, but I'm...

The band I'm working with has lots of tempo and signature changes throughout about 6 tracks we'll be doing. Luckily the drummer is a math and beat wiz so he's able to tell me things like "these 3 bars are 4/4, then the next 4 are 3/4" and so on, so I can map them in Cubase 5 so the click track...

Hey guys, I'm looking to get started on some DIY wall hanging panels. Does anyone live around Portland, or at least in the NW that know where to get some OC703 for a good price, or other materials that would be equivalent? Shipping would probably be fine if need be.. Thanks in advance!

I'm in need of a new computer.. I haven't been able to make music now for over a month because the old machine went to hell on me. That one was Vista, and even though it's old and clunky, I know it inside and out and never had any troubles. I know Win 7 is very similar in terms of look and...

I tend to reach for a stereo delay more often than not for chorus sections of vocals. I like it over reverb because I feel that I have more control and it's a bit simpler in terms of taken space. When listening to music, especially modern metal and rock (August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying, the...

You should all check out this video series. I got some good inspiration. I wanna try recording some random stuff and see what sounds I can get. Diego Stocco: Sound Magician Part I "Intro" - YouTube

I had no part in recording, producing, or anything for this track. I'm just mixing for practice. Track found @ The 'Mixing Secrets' Free Multitrack Download Library (Cambridge Music Technology) This is the first country track I've attempted so far. I wanted to mix something other than rock for...

Hey friends, quick question for ya.. I listen to a lot of modern metal where there are some pretty intense drums happening, and a few times I've tried to mix a song or two in that style. When it comes to the 'machine gun' crazy fast double kick, I hit a wall in setting up the compressor...

I'm out of the country for a while, otherwise I'd probably snatch some of these. I thought I'd share the link in case anyone has a use for em. They're listed as "WENGER SOUND MODULE SYSTEM (10' X 10') SOUNDPROOF ROOM" I haven't done any research about them, but I'm sure a google search will...

Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some people to listen to this on some monitors and let me know how it sounds. As I listen back now, I think the kick is too loud :mad:. That'll be the first tweak I guess. I didn't do any tracking for this, just mixing someone else's work for fun. Anyway...

I see pictures tracking sessions where the engineer places a speaker in front of the kick drum and uses that in some fashion. Can anyone explain why they do it and how to hook it up? Can it be any speaker, or are they from subs, or...? I often mix other people's tracks from places like...

A bit old now, but explains wtf an MP3 really is. I wasn't exactly sure how it worked, so I checked it out. Very informative and worth the read if you haven't researched the topic yet.. Perceptual Coding: How Mp3 Compression Works Edit: 400th post :D

Hey everyone, I'm not sure if you know of this guy and his website, the recording revolution, but if not you should totally check it out. In the past he's done 2 month long sets of "5 minutes to a better mix" and starting today he'll being going on to round three. I've learned a massive...

When using a stereo delay plug on the vox, and that plug has the option to pan both sides of the delay, do you go full 100% to both sides, or someplace in the middle? If I pan them out wide, which I tend to do, the "walls" of my space feel a bit odd, and I feel that the delay can never be turned...

Out of all the kit, the toms are always giving me a hard time. I can make them sound nice and full with some stick attack when the drums are soloed, but within the rest of the mix they tend to disappear some and lose power that I thought they had. I notice in pro records that the toms are often...

I got this in an email this morning. I thought some of you might like to know. I hear great things about Q10 and Axx.. Seems tempting! Year End Blowout! $9 Plugins

Hey friends, Was hoping to get a little feedback on this mix. I didn't record it and played no instruments, just mixed. Thanks!

Hey friends, I first mixed this song about 3 or 4 months ago but was never satisfied with it. I decided to start from scratch and see what I could do with a bit more experience. I'd love to hear your thoughts! This is someone else's track from Mixoff.org. Lost by bornofsound on SoundCloud -...
