    Hearing loss

    Not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this, but it seems the closest. I have taken the SoundGym hearing test and the highest frequency I can hear in both ears is just above 11kHz. I guess one good thing is that both ears have roughly the same range. I was just wondering if anyone else...

    Long Way Down

    Hi all. Long time since I've been here, so a bit cheeky asking for feedback. Will give some soon though, promise. Main thing I'm interested in is sibilance, or over compensating for it at the start of the first verse. I think I sound like Sylvester the Cat. My girlfriend can't tell now as she...

    Separate Log In for Recording

    Hi folks Apologies if this had been answered elsewhere (I've looked and can't find anything) I was just wondering if it was possible with Windows 10, to set up a separate user login which did not load McAfee, had wireless enabled etc. for recording. If possible I want to avoid a dual boot and...

    Audio glitch at media item joins

    upgrading advice

    Hi Guys I am currently using a Roland VS880EX. Would like more tracks, what do you guys suggest. Have considered a second hand VS1680 or a Zoom R24. Thing that puts me off Zoom 24 is lack of midi, would sometimes like to sync my Yahmaha SY85 seqencer with the recorder. I also read that with the...

    Acousticy Thing

    Please have a listen to my acousticy thing and let me know what you think. I know there's some timing issues, I'm not going for ana very produced sound, not quite lo-fi but sort of retro and a bit raw. Many thanks. 03 - Moving On (Again) - Cirrus - In The Clouds by Company of Artful Jesters on...

    Trying to improve drum sound

    I'd appreciate you opinions on my drum sound and whether it's better than on my earlier stuff. I've had a go at tuning the drums, this is the first time I've ever tried it. I've tightened the snare wires you suggested Greg. I've also played with the EQ. Someone here suggested boosting the 200hz...

    Attempt at fixing a mix

    From feedback from my last track (Cheeky request post) and listening to a lot of stuff here I realised that my other mixes where muddy and the drums boxy. I've add some EQ to my track on my last post (appreciated if you could take a listen) and have played about with EQ on this other mix and...

    Cheeky Reqest

    I realise it's a bit cheeky asking for you to take the time to listen to this, since I've not been on the board and given anybody else any feedback for a long while; but i just wondered if anyone could have a listen to this excerpt and tell me what they think. I thought I'd get my old school...

    Mono Mixes

    With music released in the 60s, I've noticed that a lot of people say they much prefer the mono mixes of many classic albums. I realise that an element in this is the fact that a lot of the stereo mixes have drums and bass panned far left and all the vocals over to the right, and things like...

    Recording Drums

    I've been experimenting with the Glyn Johns recording method. I've found that If I have the left hand overhead mic (the one above the sanre) higher than the crash cymbal it sounds 'gongy'. If I lower the mic level with the cymbal I get the sound I want from the cymbal, the only thing is that now...

    open method

    I have not been drumming long and have been playing the cross over hand way (left hand snare right hand hi hat). I've just read about the open style, have tried it, but it feels like starting to learn all over again. Just wondered how many of you guys use this method and is it worth 're-learning'.

    Mixing Feedback Please

    Hi folks. I would much appreciate some feedback on my mixing. Please don't judge the songs too harshly (they're some I wrote with a band I was in when I was 16 and had been playing for about 18 months) I just wondered what they'd sound like if I recorded them now to practice my mixing. I'm...

    Hi folks, One of the pins on the plug from my power supply for my cd rw has broken. I've tried contacting QPS and Roland support by e-mail and have had no reply about where to get a new supply unit or the parts to repair mine. Even the shop were I bought it have had no luck. Has anyone any...
