    Tracking at home then mixing in a Pro-Studio

    Hello guys. I always appreciate the knowledge shared on this forum. I'm gearing up to record an album and I don't have a huge budget. I have a home recording set-up, including a drum kit, drum mic kit, 16-channel Audio Interface and various other inexpensive mics. I use an older version of...

    Mixing board or no mixing board?

    I'm building my studio slowly but surely. I have a space I am happy with, Sonar as my DAW, a Tascam US-1800 input device. So, basically I do everything "in-the-box". But I used to record at analog studios back in the day, and kind of miss the days of the 16-channel mixing board. I see all...

    Getting past a two-chord roadblock

    Costs and licenses for renting a building for a studio.

    I'm not quite at the point where I'm ready to rent/buy my own stand alone studio building. (Only doing the home studio thing at this point.) But for the sake of daydreaming, what do you guys think the average monthly cost to rent and operate a small building would be with the intent on building...

    MIDI & Sonar & Roland Juno Gi

    I realize the world of MIDI is vast and complicated. However, I am stuck at one little problem. I use Sonar Studio DAW, a brand new Roland Juno Gi and a USB cable for the MIDI connection. All I am looking to do is record electronic drums played by hand (from the Juno Gi) onto Sonar in a MIDI...
