Hi everyone, I'm a psychology researcher working at Queen's University Belfast, and I'm an experienced musician and longtime recording enthusiast/small time producer. I've worked with Irish and UK artists like Two Door Cinema Club, Kowalski, General Fiasco, Rams' Pocket Radio, Panama Kings...

Hi, does anyone know of a preferably cheap or free program that will allow you to add the artist name and song title to a track so it will come up in media player, winamp, I-tunes etc? Thanks :)

Will it damage any of my microphones if I store them in close proximity to one another? Some are condensers, some are dynamics. Obviously I would pad out the box, but I'm just wondering as there are all those magnets in there, would they damage each other?

I can't decide whether to buy 2 Heil PR30s or a Heil PR40 and a PR30. I have some nice sdcs, ldcs and dynamics, but I'd like a pair of large diaphragm dynamics like these for utility use. Mainly I'm thinking of using them on toms and amps, but I hear the PR40 is good for kick and might be...

Virtually every singer I ever record wobbles a little and makes odd pitch variations, even the good ones. Obviously retracking until they get it right is the best option, but some singers just cant get it perfect. Is there a plugin (preferably free or cheap) that allows you to draw a pitch in...

I have the acoustics in my recording room beginning to take shape and now I need to find a solution to the hum of the fridge. I'll mainly be recording drums so a small level of hum is tolerable. The fridge can't be turned off or taken out of the room, so i was thinking, build a box with no...

My garage is about 15ft by 25ft with a 7ft ceiling, concrete walls and a concrete floor. It sounds fairly crap. I put in 12 RW5 3ftx2ft 50mm thick rockwool slabs and it still sounds fairly duff. I'm pretty sure its the ceiling thats the problem. It makes that really annoying pingy, fluttery...

because I made 6 of these :) I used Andyhix's design from this thread https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=228169 but altered it a little due to lack of materials/skills Instead of using a nut and bolt I used a large drill hole and a smaller drill hole side by side so the shaft of...

I'm going to purchase drumagog after using the demo for a bit and finding it much better than the free replacer I was using. I've had the steven slate samples for a while and they're great, but I'm not getting the most out of them with the free program. I have a new macbook which I don't have...

Im thinking of buying cubase studio 4 after using SX2 for a long time. Is it worth changing? Is Studio 4 a step down from SX2? Are the main advantages of Cubase 4 over studio 4 purely in its midi capabilities? I mostly work with audio so this isn't a problem if so. Just looking for user...

Im trying to buy a new portable DAW and i was wondering if anyone successfully uses a macbook and firepod? Its such a minefield trying to choose, Ideally i will use cubase studio 4 with a firepod and a macbook. Does anyone else use a firepod with a laptop succesfully without drop outs or...

sorry, mistake

I'm a bit confused after long hours of googling and forum searching as to what will work with my new laptop. Im going to buy a new laptop with a core 2 duo and i want to record 8 channels of audio simultaneously. I currently have a multimix firewire 8 which lets me do this but i hear that they...

A thought occured to me today and I'm sure its probably come up before, but if Steinberg charged about 30 or 40 quid for Cubase do you think they might actually make more money? Every kid who wants to record his/her band goes and grabs a dodgy copy of cubase because realistically, only people...

Will phantom power damage my Rode NTK tube mic? I was intending to use it as a room mic for drums and the phantom power will be switched on for the overheads. Is this safe for the Rode?

I'm getting a laptop soon for mobile recording and I would like it to perform better than my current desktop setup. My desktop pc has 1gb of ram and a 3ghz pentium 4. What core 2 duo processor would I need to be more powerful than this machine? Is there anything to specifically avoid with...

I have an unusual question and its hard to place but I felt here was probably most appropriate. I record drums with an Alesis multimix firewire 8 interface which has 4 mic preamps. I use four condensers (2 OH, room, high tom) and 3 or 4 dynamics (kick, snare, floor tom, underside snare...

Hi there, For months I've been using my alesis multimix firewire 8 into cubase sx for recording with no problems at all, but recently, when i turn on my pc and my soundcard, cubase works fine, but i cant get any other media sound to play eg winamp, media player etc. Has anyone else...

Hey there, after extensive searching i can only find small pieces of info on the d1 and d6. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of an audix d3 as i notice theyre going cheap at www.dv247.com Im pretty much looking for something with a tight pattern thats a bit brighter than an sm57 for...

Does anyone have experience using one of these? I'm tempted to buy 1 to try on my rack tom and snare and some opinions would be handy:) http://www.nusystems.co.uk/product/Beyerdynamic.OPUS.87 Thanks
