So I've been using the same pair of headphones for the past 25 years. I won't say the make/model as that's not the point. They get used daily. I loved them so much I bought a new spare pair around 16 years ago and put them away for a rainy day. Maybe that was a bad idea. Well it's finally...

After 30 years of recording real instruments, I'm finally diving into the world of MIDI. Here's my gear: TD12 V-Drums with DIN MIDI ROLAND UMC-ONE DIN MIDI to USB adapter Samplitude Pro X4 Suite DAW MT Power DrumKit 2 - Drum Plugin How do I map the drum triggers on my V-Drums to the correct...

So I recently built a guitar isolation box within my closet of my studio (spare bedroom). It works amazingly well. When I play/record all I can hear is the pick hitting the strings. My wife says she can't even hear it in other parts of the house. I would love to make something similar for a...

I recently connected a new piece of outboard gear, but I'm getting slight static in my signal chain. I took a photo of the set up. Any ideas as to why I might be getting static and the occasional signal drop ? I can't for the life of me figure out why this would be happening. Very Frustrating!!

I've had a youtube channel for a while now. I typically record covers. I'm not a singer, so I usually find isloated vocal tracks and record my own music around it and make a video to it. Let me know what you think. Anyhoo. MORE THAN A FEELING was my last video YouTube JESSICA by the Allman...

So I finally decided to pull my FOSTEX R8 out of the closet and transfer all my old 1/4" tapes into DAW. The machine needed a bit of servicing after sitting for so long, but otherwise is working ok. Except for .......... After playing an entire tape through, I'm getting 2 things: - brown tape...

In a post I made a few months ago, I came to the conclusion that my old ADAT XT's are worth less money than ...... well...... anything!. So what have you all done with all your old masters? I have a closet full of 4-track, 1/4", 1", 2" and ADATs goinf back 30+ years, but I don't have the heart...

Hi Folks, Back in the day the ALESiS ADATs had a remote transport panel with a 10 foot cable. Whenever I was recording drums or piano (away from the ADATs) I was able to to use this remote device to punch in and out during tracking. see pic below. Heck, even my old FOSTEX R8 has a detachable...

Anyone having any problems after the most recent Win10 update? I had a major update a couple of nights ago and now I have latency. I have checked all my audio settings (everything is as it was before the update) and even re-installed my AI driver/software. Is anyone else experiencing anything...

My 2 x ALESIS ADAT XT's have been sitting in my rack for the past 15 years since I made the jump to PC/DAW recording. I may transfer my old ADAT tapes to DAW, but after that, what am I supposed to do with them? I see a ton of them on ebay for $150 to $400 but I don't know if people are buying...

So at age 45, I am now suffering from tinnitus. It's very annoying and very depressing. Since I was 12 years old I have always worn industrial hearing protectors whenever I play the drums (even at a gig), so I know it's not from playing drums, but I have always lived in apartments and townhouses...

I recently re-built my PC (fresh install of Win 10) so I know there's a fix for my problem as everything was working fine before the rebuild. The ASIO drivers in my DAW are taking control of my audio. I can't play anything else in Windows Media Player or YouTube, etc with my DAW open. I went...

Hi Folks, I'm new to this forum and I just found this Mixing Clinic Section. I'm not sure if youtube links are ok here, but here is my latest mix, as well as my channel. I've never had anybody critique my mixes so I would love to hear feedback. Maybe there is a common mistake I'm making that I...

Hi Folks, I recently had 2 x SM57s stop working. Not stop working completely. They sound hollow and lower volume, as if someone put on a low cut @ 500hz or something with the gain turned down slightly. I find it strange this happened to 2 mics at relatively the same time. My other 57s still...
