I am thinking of buying a wireless guitar rig. I've seen rack mounted units like the Line6 G90, stomp boxes like the Line6 G50 and then units like the Shure's that are neither stomp nor rack mount. Sound, features, etc. aside...what are your opinions on stomp vs. rack vs. shelf units?

Hey all...last night, I upgraded from 8.5.2 to 8.5.3 (Producer). Now when I open a file, or save a file, the file status bar comes up at the bottom of the screen...and no kidding each file operation lasts about 5 minutes. This is killing me. Anyone else seeing this with 8.5.3? Is it possible to...

Another new track from Shoebucket. We are ready to release this, but I wanted to get your feedback before I did so. Shoebucket - Time to Make a Choice

Hey all, here is a track for some critique. I think the tune is done, I just wanted to get your feedback to see what you thought, before we upload to tunecore.com. Shoebucket - Start a War

Hey all...I am working in Sonar 8.5. I am looking for a nice megaphone effect for a vocal track. Does anyone know of a good, quick and dirty VST (preferably free of course), or better yet, a recommendation on EQ, Compression, et. al that could accomplish this without any fancy tools? JD.

I bought a refurb from Buy.com last year, here is another, http://www.buy.com/prod/dell-inspiron-570-desktop--amd-athlon-ii-x4-quad-core-630-2-8ghz-6gb/q/loc/101/219026924.html. Great power. Great price. Add a second drive, and this is a perfect DAW.

Hey Battlestar Galactica fans...here is a bit of tribute music to Baltar. Yes, I am a geek. This tune is called Time to Make a Choice by Shoebucket. This is a rough mix, I am working on, and would love to hear feedback. http://shoebucketband.com/media/mp3/Shoebucket_Demo_Time_To_Make_A_Choice.mp3

Has anyone compared the new SM27 with the discontinued KSM27? I love the KSM, but can't find one anywhere, so I am considering the SM, which according to Shure is the replacement.

OK, if you are a purest...stop reading now. If you have a limited budget like me, keep reading. A friend of mine told me about the Dayton B652 shelf speakers. Apparently some people on some home audio forums were raving about the sound of these things compared to their cost. I found them on...

I have a conflict...I am working on completing a rough mix of a track before I send it to the guy that is doing the final mix. I've noticed a few things that stand out to me, so I have begun solo'ing various tracks, and I've noticed the vocals tracks are a wreck. Some clipping from the pre-amps...

I recently fell into a free kit, and have it sitting in my studio/home office. They don't sound great, but they look nice. I was thinking, I could put some sort of practice heads on them, so they are quiet, and then add triggers and store MIDI data to be used to trigger samples in Sonar. Has...

Hey everyone, here's one for critique. This is not the final mix, we are aware of a few things we need to tweak, and a few things we want to tweak, but I thought this was close enough to post for feedback. I am very happy with the overall sound quality for nearly the first time in my...

I keep seeing "treat your corners, make them at least 4'' thick". Lucy, some splainin' to do please?

I am in the process of making my home "studio" more studio-ish so I've been paying a lot of attention to threads on this topic. One thing that I have noticed is that everyone seems to have a keyboard on their desk. I don't meant QERTY, I mean like MIDI/Piano. I am guessing everyone is not...

Simple question with a complex answer...do you guys always use a click? Setup tempo maps...or just go at it live?

Here is new tune, my band Shoebucket, is working on. We tracked drums, guitar and bass. I am hopefully going to get vocals done this weekend. http://bit.ly/ahcn0U I am interested in your feedback on the mix. I am pretty happy with it, but I am always open to hear opinions on how it can be...

A few weeks back, the drummer and I were in the rehearsal studio. After a few hours of practice, we were just sitting there with the lights low, talking about the days work. We started diddling around with some chords, and forgot that we had the DAW in record mode. I was super happy to hear...

I have a Q about triggers. Do you need to have some sort of drum module to use triggers? I thought I read somewhere that they could be used like microphones, and then then transients can be converted into midi data. Am I dreaming or is this possible?

Oy. I am really getting frustrated. I have Sonar 8.5 Producer running on a Quad Core machine with 7GB of RAM. I am connected to a MOTU 8pre. To say I am getting drop outs, is an understatement. I am new to the 64bit world, so maybe this is a configuration issue, but I can't get anything done...

Hey guys, I bought one of these on black Friday, and the deal is back, so I thought I'd let you all know. This box has... 7GB of RAM 750GB HDD Quad Core Processor DVD burner with lightscribe It's a home studio dream machine, for $399.99. It's refurb, but that doesn't bother me...
