Hey HR.com, I recently built a DIY pedal from a kit and I'm happy with it but I feel like I don't understand enough of what's actually going on electronically. Could someone give me a little outline on exactly WHAT all of these pieces are doing? I know that I used various resistors and...

Hey all, I think the last time I posted as song up here was 2003 or something...I remembred how much fun it was to get input on a mix from random people and so here I am. This song was recorded almost entirely on the MacBook Pro built in mic into Logic. Drums and guitars were built in mic...

Perhaps this is the wrong place for this, but I thought I'd try. I've got a Powerbook from August of 05 that I don't use anymore since I got a Macbook Pro a few months ago. Is the RAM from my old computer at all compatible? I get the sense it's not but I'd like to see what you guys have to say...

http://home.comcast.net/~treefingers/French_Song_Version_2_Mix_3.mp3 Hi...I haven't posted anything here in a long time but I've been lurking...I've decided to come back out to post this song that I recorded with my friend Spencer. We're both freshmen at NYU and we've been working on an album...

Hi, I've recently been looking for an inexpensive keyboard (oxymoron) to add some flavor to my rock based recordings and I was checking out two synths: the Microkorg and the Alesis Micron....They're simiarly priced and I'm sure people have opinions on what's better, I'd like to hear them! Also...

I'm a 17 year old from Boston and I am applying early to the Steinhardt school at NYU and I'm making up a demo CD and this is the newest song I've recorded. I'm planning on leading off the album with it and I wanted to get some feedback. Anything would be helpful....song structure-wise or...

Okay so I am a high school senior, and I've been very much into recording for a few years now, I feel like this song is the best thing I have accomplished as of yet...I play everything on it and I'm pretty proud but I want to know what sounds wrong to more experienced ears. As far as equipment...

Hi, my MOTU 896 has recently been acting up pertaining to when I turn it on. I turn it on and the red, orange, and green lights (the ones that normally blink on the LED meters during startup) won't stop blinking and my computer refuses to recognize that the MOTU is plugged in. A few days ago, it...

Questions about MOTU! First of all, I was wondering how to record 8 seperate tracks at a time in Cool Edit 2.0. The MOTU can do 8 at a time but how do I arm the tracks correctly? I'm having no trouble recording but i can only do left and right, not 1-8. Also, the motu I have is a MOTU 896...

Hey, I just got my MOTU 896 and I was wondering what the AES/EBU inputs were? What's the purpose??

Hey I've never tried mics out at guitar center and I had a few questions: First of all, do all guitar centers have this capability to try mics out? I go to the one in Boston, which is a pretty large store, but I've never seen any room where you can test out the mics. Secondly, what should I...

Hi, lately I've been having trouble keeping the bleed from the drums out of the mics for the guitars, is there any way to possibly avoid or reduce this problem with one of those drum shields? I've seen them in various stores, including musicians friend, and they seem a bit steep at 200-400...

I've been real close to purchasing a motu 896 for a while now but I'm still not completely sure: how many tracks at a time can I record with it (taking my cpu, which is more than adequate, out of the picture)? In otherwards, I know it has the 8 pres but as a soundcard of sorts, how many tracks...

Just a quick question here, if I want to add firewire compatibility to my computer, will buying a firewire port that plugs into a PCI slot work for fairly heavy recording (most likely using all 8 inputs on an 896). Is there any discernible difference between recording into a direct firewire...

How are the preamps on the 896HD compared to say the Sytek MPX-4A? From what I've read on this board through searching, people seem to like the Motu preamps but are they alright as my primary and only source for preamps? What about compared to some of the cheaper standalone preamps on...

I was wondering if the HD is different or just a newer model?? The 896: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=031202171558024060138009976704/g=rec/search/detail/base_pid/240116/ The 896HD...

Not sure whether this belongs in this forum but I wanted to get a general opinion... The Strokes' new single that's been all over radio and such is 12:51. I've been a strokes fan since around when they started getting all that hype, and while I've never loved them, I've always been a casual...

Hi, I've been lurking on these boards for quite some time now listening to various other people's music and I thought I'd throw my song out there for some advice. I'm only 16 years old and I play every instrument but (to me) this doesn't sound so bad all things considered: Behringer MX1604A...

Why is it not working for me, they suspended my two old accounts and I registered a new one under a totally different email and it was suspended from the second I started it! I never broke any rules (at least I don't think so)...has anyone else had these issues? Where can I host these?
