    Risers & Impacts

    I'm looking for riser and impact libraries--preferably free, otherwise as cheap as possible (under $50 would be great). For those who might be wondering what I'm referring to: "risers" create a "rising" sound, and "impacts" create an "impact" sound. (Totally counterintuitive, I know!) ;) These...

    Panning different string articulations: how do you do it?

    I'm working on a project that features several different articulations of cellos: sustained, staccato, tremolando, etc. with a dedicated track for each articulation. My question is about panning these cellos: should the different tracks be panned to different places, to spread out the...

    Backing vox plug-ins?

    I’ve encountered a few “choir” libraries: Soundiron Olympus, Vocalise, etc. Kontakt has a rudimentary choir. Are there libraries that simulate backup vocals for rock, pop, etc.? Not looking for the “sacred” sounding choirs, but more contemporary voices, that I could use to bolster my backing...

    How to effectively simulate bass guitar with MIDI keyboard?

    [EDIT: If you're going to say "why not just get a real bass guitar?", please don't: I understand that's the ideal goal, but it's just not a solution I can implement right now. I'm looking for ONLY MIDI tips here, not real instruments. Thanks!] (Preface: I’m a bit of a noob at home recording, so...

    Techniques for getting vocal levels even?

    Basic newbie question here. I'm laying down some vocals, but in some parts of the song they're a little too loud--louder than in other parts. So my question is: what are some ways to even out the vocal levels?

    Sound cut out...any idea why?

    First of all, sorry for posting this question in Recording Techniques: I couldn't find an appropriate forum to post it in. (Is there a "troubleshooting" forum or something?) Here's my problem: I was listening to one of my songs recently, when suddenly the sound just cut out. I don't know why it...
