    What's this audio view called?

    I'm trying to find a freeware VST that shows multiple kinds of audio views, but mainly this kind. What's the name of this view? https://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5971/audiol.jpg

    Ugh... My brainnnn...

    So I'm purchasing a guitar today, and the past few days I've been looking at learning the basics of playing through online stuff I've found. My god, do I have to learn all this stuff? Dozens of chords, Scales, and then translating guitar notes to keyboard notes, ETC. This is making me not wanna...

    Do these synths cover all grounds?

    I'm planning to create electronic music in the genres of... 'Drum and Bass, Aggro-Industrial, and Ambient.' Not all together of course. I've demoed over 100 synthesizers in the past 6 months, watched hundreds of reviews, and I've decided on the following for my studio. Komplete from NI. -...

    I need a good, reliable (About 1 TB, 7200 RPM) Hard Drive. Firewire of course. Price, I would prefer under $200. Thanks.

    External HDs and Firewire

    So, I finally decided on my Audio Interface. The Presonus Firestudio Mobile. It connects through firewire. Only problem is, I already ordered a PCI firewire card with one 6pin firewire input, and one 4pin. I jumped the gun, and I realized that I'm going to need an external HD that's also...

    Help picking a main DAW

    I'm down to 3 options. Over the wintertime I'm going to be extensively learning how to create music, messing with things, etc. The question is, which DAW should I devote all of my time into? 1. Cubase SX 3 2. FL Studio 8 XXL 3. Ableton Live 8 Of course, pro-tools would probably go to top...

    Computer specs - Mediocre, great, bad?

    Just recently bought a Desktop from Dell primarily to be used for music production, video editing, and graphic design. Now, I'm not a newbie when it comes to knowing about computers and computer specs, but when it comes to knowing how good specs you need for music production I'm sort of lost...

    Is FL Studio capable of producing scores for movies?

    I know this forum is more geared towards Pro-Tools, Logic, and Cubase users, but for some reason I just keep going back to FL Studio. I was just wondering whether or not the program would be able to make professional sounding scores for movies and such? FL Studio gets alot of crap, and that's...

    No firewire input in my new computer...

    So, I was on this forum a while ago asking whether or not I should buy a new laptop or desktop. I went with people's suggestions that a desktop would suit music production and video editing better than a laptop, so I bought a desktop. So I got it, and when I looked at the back and front, there...

    Should I buy a new laptop?

    I've saved up some money on the side for my at home studio. Currently I have $600. The thing is, I've taken a look at my current laptop and I'm wondering whether or not I should buy a better one before I start buying my equipment. The only problem is, if I did it would set me back to about $50...

    Completely reconstructing samples?

    What's a good program besides Pro Tools that can disassemble and overhaul a sample sound? For example, turning a kick drum into an unrecognizable sound that you would never guess was its former. Or changing a vocal line into a distorted robotic type of sound that a machine would make.

    Good headphones for under $30?

    I need to buy a good pair of headphones to be able to mix and master a song with. I purchased a Sony MDR-v150 and well... It was $20, and had amazing reviews on every site I went on. They're very weird. When connected to my iPod (no EQ set), they sound TERRIBLE. The bass is far too loud, and...

    How can I achieve this sound?

    Guitar Sample 1.mp3 - 0.30MB Guitar Sample 2.mp3 - 0.28MB I love this type of distortion or whatever effects this guy is using. I have no clue what it is though. I don't like recording guitar through conventional amps to mics, so I'm going along a more 'simulated' route. Plugging the guitar...

    Fruity Loops

    What do you experienced musicians think of the Fruity Loops program? I've only toyed around with it and made small snippets of songs. It seems VERY powerful. Although, I haven't really seen it used by anyone except generic rap and hiphop garage artists on Myspace. Everyone seems to use pro tools...

    2 Firewire interfaces? HD and Recording Interface

    So, I haven't actually bought the equipment, but I see a problem could occur. I want to save raw audio data after recording with the interface on a second hardrive, an external specially set for my audio recordings. BUT, the interface itself is a firewire. So, what are my options since my...

    First studio setup

    Well, I've been looking around the site for about a week learning about all the different recording methods, as well as on the musician selling sites looking up reviews of products. I think I'm finished choosing my equipment. 1. My Laptop - Pavilion dv4307cl (Already own) - 1 GIG of RAM - 1.73...

    Really mean sounding guitar

    How do you get a normal guitar to sound like it does in this song...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNhbJNSsvAM Would it be some expensive distortion pedal or do you do it in the mixing stages? Also, can anyone identify the guitar being used? That's sort of the sound I'm trying to go for.

    Cheap guitars in retail stores

    You guys ever come across those cheap guitar "sets" in retail stores? I usually see them going at around $100, with a small amp and strings and such. Are those ANY good? I usually hear alot of people that play guitar say "It's 99% about the amp you use." So my question is, if I bought one of...
