I was supposed to have my demo done & ready for release by tomorrow. This is just so sad for me because I've only written ONE song, when I'm supposed to have 4 more. I'm self-recording all of this, just so you know. I've been so low on motivation & inspiration..pathetic, right? I've got some...

Ok, I've never saw anyone bring up this question before, so excuse me if it's already been answered... Is it redundant to put a whole cd that (that you recorded DIGITALLY) on a vinyl record? Just to clarify...If I record my whole cd digitally and then go get it pressed in vinyl, am I making an...

Is it OK to use a regular solid state amp for my acoustic electric guitar? What's the point in buying an acoustic amp, if I can just use the one I have?

I've got a Tascam DP-02 and a Peavey Escort 2000 (pictures are attached below). The Tascam only has 2 XLR inputs...is it possible for me to hook the PA & the Tascam up together, so that I'll have more inputs? I hope I'm making sense here! If not, feel free to ask me to explain more. thanks a lot :)

I'm kinda new to mixing, but I want to record a demo for myself (guitar & vocals). I've got a portastudio (Tascam DP-02) & I'm only using this to record. Could I have some opinions/advice on setting my levels correctly? I want every instrument to have an even sound & I don't want too many...

I really want to know how do I get a clean sound on my recordings? Sometimes, they sound kind of amateurish, you know. Then other times, I like how it all turns out (but that's rare). I'm not looking for major label quality. We all know that there's a ton of indie bands who don't have much...

Okay, you'll have to excuse me if this is a dumb question, but anyway... What's the point of a musician recording with a cassette tape, but only to transfer it to an MP3 (and then eventually on a cd)? Won't you lose "quality" by doing that? I don't get it. There's a musician (that I can't...

Hey, I'm sure this is a question that's been asked over and over again...How do producers/ audio engineers get that clear slick sound on records? Obviously, you need to have excellent equipment, but what settings do they use in terms of bitrates and things like that? I normally use a 160...

Does anyone know where I can find a website that has royalty-free sound effects and sound samples? I'm looking for things like crows cawing outside, sleigh bells, ticking clocks...you know, stuff like that. Where do people find that kind of stuff?

How do I hook up a mixer like this up to my digital Tascam Portastudio DP-02? Link to mixer: http://cgi.ebay.com/Tapco-6000-mixer_W0QQitemZ280481717303QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item414e035c37 Also, how would I hook that same mixer up to a regular 4-track cassette recorder...

Okay, well I really want to get back to my lo-fi sound. Although this is probably a dumb question to some people on here....Since I'm recording with my 4-track cassette recorder, if I put all the songs on a cd, wouldn't that be defeating the whole purpose of recording via analog? I hope I'm...

Okay, I recorded some guitars and drums today, but one of the guitars isn't quite matching up exactly with the rhythm of the other 2 guitars. Is there a way to fix this problem? It's making everyone else sound offbeat and that IS NOT good! Please help me out and be as specific as possible (I'm...

Is it possible to hook up my interface (that I use for my Sonar 7) to my digital Tascam portastudio? I'm trying to get more inputs by doing this. Is there any way that I can hook this up together?

Okay, I have a Tascam Dp-02 Portastudio and it has 2 inputs (input A and input B). I'm trying to record with 2 dynamic microphones at the same time, but it won't let me. For example, I hooked one mic into Input A and assigned it to Track 1. Then I hooked up the other mic to into Input B and...

Really, I desperately need some advice on how to look more professional. I don't have any friends in my city that know about web design and graphic design, so I've really had to do things myself. Please tell me if my page looks bad or not. What kind of stuff could it use? Here's the link...

Hey I already recorded a song, but it doesn't have any didn't have any drums to it. Now, I just recorded the drums, and I've opened up my Sonar DAW, but I can't figure out how to match the beat of the drums to the overall song I recorded. I hope I'm making sense here.:confused: I recorded the...

Okay, so here it is a song I've been working on for about a year now. Opinion/sugesstions/advice?? thanks Take about a full second to load. Don't worry, nothing is gonna move slow. I know how freakin annoying that is. http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/bigcheese_1989/music/all/play637829

I'm too broke to go out and get more mics, so would it be a good idea to just use one. All I have is a large diaphragm condenser (AT2020). Can I mic the kick with that condenser or will that ruin the mic?? If I wanna go "all out" I can use two extra dynamic mics that I have lol. What do you guys...
