Or not? Usually when I start a new project, I call up a template that has EZDrummer in it, then I find a tempo with a simple drum pattern to use as a click track. Yesterday, instead I started a blank new project and recorded an audio rhythm track from my Casio keyboard set at 104 bpm. The grid...

Anyone know any free AI video-production apps for the computer (not phone)?

Before I ask my questions ... At almost-67 years old, I acknowledge my hearing loss (and tinnitus), just did another frequency test and verified anything over about 12.5KHz I can't hear. Funny thing, though, is that recently I've noticed some higher frequency stuff that I CAN hear, where I...

My new single is out now on streaming services! Project Amplify is a national campaign launched to establish legal protections for children in government care so that the brutality discovered on the border in June never happens again. How? We are sharing the children’s stories themselves in...

It's that time of the New Year again, folks! For a creative and zany escape from the winter doldrums, be sure to check out FAWM (February Album Writing Month). This annual songwriting challenge begins on 1 February and finishes on 1 March. The site has been revamped and is now open. Here's the...

Anyone here ever play one? At $1300 they are the cheapest LPs in Gibson's lineup ($400 less than a Studio), and with the usual 15% GC coupon, that's about $1100 out the door (with a soft case). VIP Black Friday sale starts tomorrow, so might even be a bigger discount, too. I always wanted an...

Can't find my original thread on this mic.... I got this mic on ebay around 2013 for $90, so I've already got my money's worth out of it! Some time along the way, the boom stand it was on tilted over and the mic hit something, and the ceramic (?) piece that holds the capsule broke. I was...

Easy, right? Make a time area selection for the length needed, click on the insert place, select 'Insert empty space at time selection' from either the 'Insert' menu, or by right clicking. Except that the ''Insert empty space at time selection'' is grayed out and not available to me! Didn't...

Windows 10 did an update this past week. Today, when using Reaper, I found the mouse clicking way too 'sensitive' - clicking once, and it was acting as if I clicked twice on many things, and other times clicking didn't do anything. Maybe the latest Reaper update will fix? I haven't bothered...

Recently had a friend in my studio to record his originals. He's the type who HAS to play and sing at the same time, and because of a bad back (at the time), he had to sit down while tracking. I had one condensor mic aimed slightly down towards the floor that worked well picking up the guitar...

Well, of course there is! With the recent discussion of using 2 different SDCs for recording guitar, I thought I would try out my usual 2-mic method (Rode NT1 at 12th fret, angled toward soundhole. MXL LDC at lower bout) with different guitars to hear the difference in them that isn't always...

My live set up: 2 guitars with balanced line outs to XLR-1/4" line transformers into the 2 inputs on my Radial PZ-Pre. I could use standard TS-TS cable for my Taylor, but the 1/4" output on my 12 string is crackly, so I use the XLR output. So 2 songs into my 12-string set of songs yesterday...

Today's the day! Available on all streaming services or from my Bandcamp site! Order a CD and get a free MP3 + lyrics download! The songs on ‘Into the Vortex … and Out the Other Side’ were written and recorded from late 2018 through early 2021 and document my personal voyage through this time...

PRE-RELEASE SALE! ‘Into the Vortex … and Out the Other Side’, a collection of 18 new original songs will be released December 3. The songs on ‘Into the Vortex … and Out the Other Side’ were written and recorded from late 2018 through early 2021 and document my personal voyage through this time...

Wasn't sure what area of the forum to put this, but figured more people look at this section! It's been discussed before that the rear line inputs on Focusrite Scarlet series are very low volume. One of the reason I chose the 8i6 was the extra inputs, so I could keep my keyboard plugged in all...

I've had my Mackie PRO FX-12 mixer for 8 years now, gets used at least a couple of dozen times a year. Never had any issues with it, but I do know someone who had a newer model Mackie and had issues with a bad channel and non-working reverb. So a few weeks ago, at the open mic I host, the...

Everything has a shelf life... why does everything start failing at once? 1) Shure SM58 - the 'workhorse' of live mics, had mine for 11 years, got free from someone here It's taken a few drops, but never hiccupped. Brought it to a backyard open mic, plug it in, no sound. Go to remove the...

Slate offers this 'Exciter' free (you need either an iLok, or set up a free iLok cloud account). I'm impressed with what this does to my overall sound, but noticed that when I put it on a self-mastered track, I get some peaks in the red now, so have to reduce any volume boost on the track ( I...
