just finished mixing a new track for a friend (pop/rock), let me know what you think ... comments, suggestions, feedback welcome thanks http://www.sonicaudio.com/audio/waitandsee.mp3

It would be interesting to see some of your DAW transformations over the years ... post yours. Here's mine in 2002 and in 2007 it was kind of depressing at first looking at these photos seeing what I have accumulated over the past 5 years, but I did aquire a much better mic locker and...

I am planning to upgrade my core system from a P4 3.0 Ghz to a Duo Core 2.4 Ghz, new motherboard & memory. It's been awhile since I've done an upgrade like this and I was wondering if I would have to reinstall Win XP or reformat the hard drive. I'm hoping I dont have to but for optimal...

I just did a cover of Long Way Down by the Goo Goo Dolls (one of their better songs IMO) ... check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks! http://www.sonicaudio.com/audio/long.mp3

I'm trying to get an Eagles vibe out of this tune I am recording with my friend but something about the lead vox does not seem right to me. They sound a little "pitchy" but what i am concerned with is a "harshness". Interesting because I've used the same mic on other tunes and they sound...

I'm currently working on a CD with a musician friend of mine and have almost completed a new tune. I'm just interested in getting some comments about production so far but song feedback is welcome as well. The tune has a mellow STP/Pink Floyd feel to it, which is not my style but fun to record...

I'm looking for a new guitar and basically can have either of these for the same price used. My main concern is versatility ... although I love the tone of a Paul, nothing feels more comfy than a Strat (to me anyway). Unfortunately, I can't have both. I play mostly rock, but a wide variety ...

... where you throw a rough mix together and it just works? I just recorded my bud and I mixed it down in about 15 min. I think it sounds pretty good, needs some tweaking, etc but not bad. Let me know what you think ... I'm going to scrap the EVH solo and have him do a more of a "Santana" feel...

Having the night off from a gig tonight I find myself browsing through these posts as usual, doing some recording, etc when something dawned on me. I have a tough time going between live sounds and the sounds in my project studio. Specifically levels and volume. Let me elaborate: I spend pretty...

ok here's my question ... the clips for the 421 (at least the one I have) are threaded for use with a mic stand post which is about half the diameter of a standard mic stand post. Is there anywhere I can get an adapter to convert from a standard size to the smaller one without buying a whole new...

I need to improvise here and record some guitar tracks with my Marshall JCM800 rig but the guitar player is in a "modern" hard rock band and uses a Mesa rig (which we do not have access to) ... is there any OD pedal you can recommend that could give the Marshall crunch a little kick in the rear...

specifically for tracking Bass Guitar ... anyone using these pre's or any other "transparent/clean" type unit with good results? I need to pick up another clean channel in the $500-$600 range that could serve as a good Bass DI as well ... looking for something punchy and not too sterile. Thanks...

A friend of mine gave me a multitrack version of a song to mix as a favor ... I've spent some time with it trying to get levels, EQ, comp, etc. I still think it needs something or has something funky going on but can't put my finger on it. Maybe I just dont care for the song. Anyway its a pop...

I'm starting to do a few covers for fun, have some new gear, etc... I've been working on this STP song which is one of my favs. Still needs vox & tamborine but I was curious how this sounds to other ears before I continue (EQ, mix). I think it sounds very close to the original........great for...

so I have this Marshall AVTX20 combo and have wanted to swap out the preamp tube because the gain sounded a bit brittle/buzzy to me. I went over to GC to get the Groove Tube Gold Series 12ax7 because I wanted a warmer, more vintage gain. They didnt have any so I picked up a Mesa 12ax7 they had...

I've read through all the Sansamp Bass DI threads and about to pull the trigger on an RBI. It seems some people go into a preamp before the interface (perhaps for additional coloration/hotter signal) and others go directly into the interface out of the RBI. Is this thing technically a preamp as...

Bored today ... mic comparison: Condenser/Ribbon/Dynamic I know this is highly subjective but ... Not much to do today so I ended up screwing around trying different mics on electric guitar. I get frustrated trying to get a good electric sound sometimes and I was curious as to what other...

Has anyone tried one of these yet? They've been out for awhile now and I haven't heard much about them. I was wondering how they would perform as a bass DI or how similar they would be to the GT Brick http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-AMG-SVTMP--m-05_87_359.html

Just in case you were wondering what this might sound like. Just picked up an SM81 and recorded some acoustic to test it out... I think it turned out ok. The only thing I might change are heavier gauge strings. Mic'ed around the 12 fret about 1 foot away into a JoeMeek TwinQ with the iron off...

Just wanted to know if there is any difference between: A) Plugging directly into a DI input on a mic preamp that has one B) Plugging into a standard passive DI box, which is plugged into a mic input on a preamp I am asking this because some of the mic pres I am considering (DAV BG-1, Sytek)...
