    For Sale: Daking MicPre One Preamp - $600 OBO

    This is an awesome preamp. It is VERY lightly used and works perfectly. This unit usually retails for about $760 (Buy Daking Mic-Pre One Preamp | Microphone Preamps | Musician's Friend), but I just graduated from college and have not found work, so I need cash now! If you have been looking at...

    Rough mix, please critique.

    Hey guys, I have had this band in the studio for about 2 months, slowly knocking out their demo. This track is just guitars and drums with scratch vocals(which were recorded with a 57 so there are a few plosives). So don't pay any attention to the vocals, as they were just for reference. I...

    Drum problems

    Hey guys, I recorded these drums and didn't get the source sound I wanted on the snare because these guys were in such a rush. I had to cut huge amounts in eq (18dB in some places) to get rid of an awful ring in the snare. Take a listen and let me know if you think the snare can be salvaged...

    Parody Rap Song

    Hey Guys, Me and a couple of my drunk friends decided to create a rap song. Keep in mind we are the whitest of white. Have a laugh if you are into that kind of thing. We went all out with the autotune and added some radio edit filthy, violent gangster rap towards the end...
