The lady and I did this last night on a whim. What do you guys think of this recording and mix? Something bothering me: I've been having a hard time getting proper volume on tracks...when I try to use a limiter on tracks they sound much worse to me, so I've just been trying to get max volume...

Thanks for the feedback!

All good thanks!

Hey guys. I'm wondering is there a way to correct a few notes in the vocal, and then lock that correction in so no further corrections are done? The problem I am having is that I correct say 5 notes in the vocal, but then when I replay the song and listen to the mix the plugin is running in...

Hey guys. I see the music sites want -14 LUFS. What if the ending of a song is naturally louder and goes to -12 LUFS? Will it be compressed by the music site? Are you better off setting the earlier, quieter section at -16 LUFS to compensate? Thanks!

All good!

Can anyone share the letter they use to get gigs? My band is trying to do this, but we have no idea what to write and are bad at selling ourselves. Thanks!

Hey guys. I am using Yamaha HS5 because I'm in a small room. They're great, btw. But my main question is can I use TS cables with these? The manual says: Balanced connections: These effectively cancel noise picked up from external sources. Balanced connections allow for longer cable runs that...

Wow just realized no black friday deal thread. Has anyone come across a good deal on mid-tier monitors? I need some that are shallow with like 7' depth because I'm in a small space if anyone has recommendations!

Hey all, I purchased a house. Unfortunately I live in a super expensive area so it's a very small house. The master bedroom isn't an option. So there are two spare rooms, so these are my options. My options for a music room are: 1. 12.6 x 9 2. 11.5 x 9.6 Which of these rooms do you think...

Hey guys, I came into this mic from a guy locally on CL. I paid $50. Can you tell me about it? It's in excellent condition and sounds amazing (more dry and focused than SM57 or even the 545SD Unidyne III (which to my understanding is the predecessor of the SM57). Where does the 548 UniDyne IV...

Right now they're $29 and you can get them for $26 if you use coupon YNY23.

Say it has a model number like 500 and S is at the end. 500s What does the S stand for? Thanks!

Hey all. I really don't like the "crack" in sampled snares. They sound abrasive. Is there any precedent of an engineer lowering the crack? All I can find online are articles how to increase it. I don't want to make my mix objectively bad by lowering it (i.e. everyone wants to hear the crack...

Hey guys. I stepped away from recording for a while and built a guitar (except for the raw body and neck). Here it is: Imgur: The magic of the Internet The sunburst is hand rubbed using water dyes, and the finish is shellac (flakes mixed with everclear) since I needed safe products in my small...

But she doesn't want to learn all the "boring" stuff like rudiments and stuff. She's more into learning songs. I want to encourage her to play and just learn songs, but I know the fundamentals are really important. Any ideas how to approach this?

Hey guys. I finally bought a house, but it's a small one (where I live is super expensive) with only a 11x10 spare room for recording. Can you recommend the best set of small monitors? Something very high quality in terms of the audio frequency range and sound quality, but also somewhat compact...

hey guys. I'm going to be playing live soon, and I worry about noise since I play all single coil guitars and venues are all different. What are my best options? I've read that noiseless pickups suck tone. Is there truth to this? What would the logic be? Seems they're just wired with a dummy...

Hey guys. I don't like my stock Jazzmaster pickups, so I bought some SD Antiquities (version 1) used. I took both out of the box to look at them, and then when I went to put them back I realized I have no idea which is the neck and which is the bridge. How would I figure this out? Thanks!

Can you guys point me to the best place to buy capacitors and resistors? Like J quality/5% tolerance or higher. And maybe a kit that has an assortment of values. I'm doing some modifications tone/volume knobs and swapping some pickups -- just started getting into this so I'm a newb and not sure...
