    Need a cheap mixer for live gigs

    We have no money and we need at least 12 channels. Would the Behringer Eurorack UB2222FX Pro be a good choice? http://www.music123.com/Behringer-Eurorack-UB2222FX-Pro-i84237.music Thanks

    Trigger custom sounds?

    I just bought an Alesis D4 drum module for playing live and possibly recording in the future. After I played around with the built in sounds I realized that I have .wav samples on my pc that blow most of these sounds away (drumkit from hell being one source). Is there a cheap and easy way to...

    Cheap or Free Ways to Promote my Metal EP

    My band Forget Forever just released our first EP yesterday. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get some exposure? We're in a couple local shops and signed up to the major music websites (myspace, audiostreet, pure volume etc.), but nothing much beyond that. We're pretty broke after pressing...

    converting records to cd

    I've been hired to convert a 10 track record to disc for someone. I'm a generally competant recordist, but converting from vinyl is new ground for me. Does anyone have experience with this procedure that can give me some essential tips?

    Need help maxing-out tracks!

    I'm going to be sending my bands cd out for pressing this week. The problem is, I'm at the mastering stage and I need help getting the last 1 or 2 db volume I'm shooting for. We need the extra loudness to stack up to other metal bands. Right now I'm using waves linmb and L2 to compress the mix...

    Metal: Help deciding on mix

    I need help deciding on the superior mix for this track. This will be the opening song for an EP my band, Forget Forever, has been working on for about a year now. It's all self recorded and mixed. I've been lurking for a long time on these forums, and I know this is the place I want to go...

    Compressor Advice

    I lurk around on these boards almost every day just to soak up knowledge, but today I'm hoping for some help. My band is in need of a 2-channel vocal compressor for live shows. We've always used software to process vocals until this point, so I wanted to ask what rack compressor would be the...

    Help with clean vocals on a cover

    Our band is recording their first cover to incorporate melodic vocals. The song is called The End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage. The problem is we've tried recording the melodic parts with the back-up vocalist and the primary vocalist, and while they can sing much better than I can, they...

    Tracking metal vocals, underwater sound

    We're tracking metal vocals using an sm58 through a dmp-3 pre (we also use a sp b1). The problem is our lead vocalists tracks keep coming out sounding slighly, well... under water. We were originally tracking in the closet and while bringing him out of it helped, it didn't solve the problem. He...

    This is my first condenser. I just unplugged my sm58 and plugged in the b1, but I'm not geting any sound out of it. Am I missing something here?

    Sound Dampening Blankets

    I saw a link around here somewhere for a shop that sells sound dampening blankets for around $20. They were around 5x6 feet I think. I could use a couple of these. Does anyone know where I can find them online?

    The right mic for the job sm57-58?

    We're going to be putting together a death/grindcore demo in my basement. Since our budget is next to nothing I can't afford the AT3035 that was recommended to me by a few people. So now the decision has come to using either the sm57 or 58 for vocals. I'm leaning towards the 57 but I wanted to...

    Achieving a certain metal bass tone

    I'm trying to find out how bands like Napalm Death and Fear Factory get that brutal bass tone that just chugs and smacks along with the kick drum. A couple of examples would be the intro to Farce and Fiction by ND, and Byte Block by FF. I'm pretty sure they're using some overdrive. Does...

    Midiman DELTA 44

    I was thinking it's about time to upgrade from my $25 creative pci soundcard. Is the Midiman DELTA 44 a good choice value and performance-wise? I'm running win2k and do most recording a track at a time. Also does anyone know if this card has pre's built in? Thanks

    Quick/stupid question from a noob

    I just dropped a wav into a cubase project to use to process it with a special plug-in, now I can't figure out how to save the goddamn thing. I have a headache.

    Mixdown Clipping

    I've used this porgram for a while now and have been trying to figure out how you get the loudest mixdown possible without clipping. It seems like every time I mixdown there's at least one part of the track that's clipping and distorting. I usually end up bringing all tracks down -1 in volume...
