    Recommended Mastering Engineer

    I want to recommend Arthur Winer at www.canaveralskies.com. He did a great job sprucing up my homerecorded project, turned it around in a few days, listens to what you say, and is very reasonably priced. He used to be a mastering engineer at Sony and is now on his own. You can tell him I sent...

    basic mic positioning question

    If I want to try positioning two small condensor mics in an XY configuration to record acoustic guitar, what's a good way to hold them in place? Do you just use two mic stands or it there a better way?

    "waiting for incoming sync"

    To make a long and painful story short, I have had to reconfigure my hard drive and reconnect and reload everything. The first thing I tried to do to test whether N-track was working was to attempt to play a .wav file. I am getting the message "waiting for incoming sync". I don't know what...

    problem with Sjoko

    I am about to go totally ballistic about this and am asking for help. I responded to Sjoko's offer (on this forum) to master songs for a low price. I originally sent him my stuff more than six months ago. He promptly cashed my checks for more than $200. Since then, it has been one excuse...

    New tune from Slim

    This reflects part of my journey in the aftermath of the Attack. And it has four instruments, a record (if you will excuse the expression) for me. Please listen and feed back! Sweet Uncertainty. www.artistlaunch.com/LarryKolker

    headphone amplifier distortion

    I got a headphone amp (Rolls) since I have nice studio headphones with the wrong impedence for my Aardvark Direct Pro. There's nothing wrong with the headphone amp; it worked fine with my stereo. I plugged the amp into the headphone out on the Direct Pro, using a TRS plug like I'm supposed...

    Best CD duplication

    I will soon be releasing my first almost-full-length cd (all homerecorded, BTW). I am looking at a "full service" duplication, including printing, cover. Is Oasis the undisputed champ? My concern is that I'd rather start with only 100, and Oasis makes more sense if you're doing at least 500...

    Help describe Slim

    I'm trying to come up with the best way to very briefly describe my music, a way that will make people curious to listen to it. It is not necessary that you listen to my stuff in order to give me advice about this, in fact, it might be better if you don't! You should know at least that this is...

    Best Electric Guitar under $400

    I'm taking my 14-year-old daughter shopping for an electric guitar. Guitar is not her main instrument; it's basically just to goof around with. She is a good beginner acoustic guitarist already. Her favorite group is Bare Naked Ladies. I see that Sam Ash has some strats for sale in the 3-400...

    speaker cable for live sound

    I need to get a couple speaker cables for connecting powered mixer to speakers, small venue, 200W system, 20' or so length. I figure there's no reason to pay for Monster in this situation. Does 12 gauge v. 14 v. 16 matter? Copper v. Nickel plated v. gold matter? Is CBI okay? Horizon? Radio...

    too basic to figure out! Help!

    I tried to select a particular section of one of the .wav files in a song I'm working on. I left-clicked, held it down and slid the cursor over -- and nothing happened! It won't highlight the section. What could this be???

    PA Speakers for gigs

    I am looking for a pair of speakers to be used with a powered mixer for small venues. Probably 15" speakers. Mackie, Yamaha, JBL, Carvin -- they all have candidates. Does it matter? Which is best? Also, I came across Avatar speakers, a small company from San Francisco, is anyone familiar...

    Suburban Blues...

    ...is the name of my new song. Although it was written before Sept. 11, I find it is helping me express and get past this malaise. Anyway please listen and tell me what you think about the mix, song, whatever. Thanks. www.mp3.com/LarryKolker "Suburban Blues"

    You won't believe your ears-LI Slim goes electric

    A couple months ago I spent an evening jamming with a group called The Nose, and one result was a full-band recording of my song, "I Hate You Spring". This particular process had some limitations, which I will later disclose, but I think it's worth considering anyway. Please tell me what you...

    acoustic guitar preamp for live sound

    I have a Martin Thin Line Gold Plus (active) pickup (a ribbon tranducer under the saddle pickup). I don't need a preamp as such since it's built in, and I usually use an amp or PA that has at least some eq and effects. So it (Martin classical) sounds pretty good already. But I'd like to get...

    demo strategy

    So you really want this gig. They get many demos. How do you get them to listen to yours? Do you send them a complete CD, or are you better off picking your three "best" songs? Five best? 30-second excerpts instead? What do you think?

    n-track not finding freeverb

    I've downloaded freeverb (which I am told is much better than n-track reverb), but N-track is not finding it when I access the effects. Do I have to do something with the .zip file that freeverb came in? Am I missing something?
