Hello there, I am using logic pro 9 right now and am only learning the basics as I am still really new at this. I have also just bought reason 5 to tinker with and try to make new sounds, songs, samples etc... I still have no idea how to use it yet. I've been doing a bit of research online...

Hey, thanks.. I think I am going to do what everyone is saying and record with the gear I have until I realize more precisely what I want so I wont go out and buy the wrong piece of gear for hundreds (thousands) of dollars lol. I mainly record punk rock stuff, acoustic rock etc. I just...

What gear did you upgrade from and what new stuff did you get?? Thanks for the advise guys, yah I think I'm getting a little more understanding since I posted this from reading everyones posts and reading some books I have. On a different topic, do you guys all use Diffusers and or Foam to...

thanks for the advice guys!!! seems like I just have to buckle down and record until I realize what my current gear can and can't do then figure out the sound I am looking for. As for monitors, I am using KRK rockit 6's and my "control room" doesnt have any foam or blankets to optimize...

Hey guys I have no idea what I am looking for when talking about mics, compressors preamps etc. I currently use sm57's /58's and a blue baby bottle that I got off e-bay for mics, and a few ART preamps. I know this sounds dumb but what differences would I expect to hear if I bought a $2,000...

Thanks, yeah it seems like I am starting to realize the gear I need as I go. As for preamps and the 1641.. to tell you the truth I don't think the 1641 has any preamps. This is another area where I lack in knowledge big time. I don't know what differences I will hear between a $2000 preamp and a...

Sorry, I guess I should have specified what my setup is. Besides the basic recording setup I listed above I have multiple sm57's and 58's.. a Blue baby bottle mic that I got off ebay and a couple of cheap mics from behringer. What differences will my newbie ears hear from a mic like the baby...

I know I said I am new to the site and that my registration is from 2006 haha.. but that was when I bought my 2480.. after my few posts I stopped recording for several years. Forgot I even had an account on this site haha

Hello all, I'm new the site and new to recording. A few years back I bought a Studio in a box system Roland 2480, which was alright to use but over time and talking to people I gradually started to get into computer recording. I have a Mac Pro and use Logic 9, I have a tascam 1641 interface...

Hello again, Thanks for all the input. I posted a few pics of my pedals as was requested, as you will notice in one of the pics I have plastic Beaters instead of the ones that came with it because someone recommended them to try and improve them ( I really haven't noticed too much difference)...

Ok, this may sound stupid to some ppl but I am lookin for some help with this. Here's my scenario: I am an "on/off" drummer for about 7 yrs now and I only live in a small town where I don't have the luxury of trying out a lot of different drum gear. The bass pedal I have on my kit right now is a...

Nice Rack!!!! ha ha ha. Seriously though, that is a nice setup you got there and I have to agree with most ppl on this thread when I say that I am jelous of your gear.

This is just my opinion but I think the motto I have heard about behringer equipment is true. "Behringer will give you the best bang for the buck." I have a behringer Bass guitar amp, Behringer studio Truth monitors and a small mixer... My bass amp is awesome, I have impressed so many ppl with...

I find it goes either way for me. Some days I have written the melody and then the lyrics just fit in perfect (which is awesome when that happens). But sometimes I get some decent lyrics and wont get the melody till sometime after and it works the other way as well, I get the melody and can't...

I got 1 no-name acoustic guitar, 3 electric guitars; (Hamer, Fender, No-name $40 guitar..lol) 4 Bass Guitars; (Squire, Ibanez 6-string, Ernieball Stingray, no-name)

My favorite bass that I have is my Ernieball Stingray but I recently bought a cheaper Ibanez 6-string and Wow!!! that this is pretty sweet, Not as good as the ernieball but still.... I am not much of a guitar player but I love my Fender 50's reissue Strat.

I don't know what you already do, but someone once told me to write down everything. Like if you have a notebook to write your songs/lyrics in then write everything in it regardless if you think it's crappy. If you write it down then the "crappy" lyrics wont linger in your head possibly messing...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. I like hearin how everyone goes about their own home recording. Now, on to another newbie question. I noticed that quite a few ppl use a click or metronome with their songs when recording. As I stated in one of my previous posts, when I wrote my songs I was...

Sorry bout that, I didn't know how detailed everyone wanted me to get. The gear that I am using is: Console: Roland 2480 -DVD Monitors: Behringer Truth B2031A Mics: Shure Sm-57 X 2 Shure Sm-58 X 2 Behringer Ultravoice XM1800S (3 Pack) Behringer B-2 Pro Dual Diaphragm...

Hello there, I am new to this forum and new to recording so I am your definition of newb lol. My first quick question has to do with just plain recording. How do you start? I have about 10 songs I want to lay down, and I want to know how most bands do it. Do you record the drums first, guitar...
