    Noob - What should i be doing?

    I would start as simple as a live recording of your guitar or singing performance (if you can sing). Recording as what miroslav says, is a very important skill to any home-based musician. Once you learn the art and science of proper tracking/recording, mixing will look easier. It is because you...

    Ever had a song that just fell together perfectly with no/little tweaking?

    One time before I try to record a little acoustic band. I advise them to tweak everything until they are happy with their sound. So they went tuning everything correctly , drums, guitars, rehearse a lot etc. Guitar gears too and amps are well adjusted to the best sound they can produce. The...

    Installing Sonar x1 producer on a 3 storage drive system

    Unless you are running a stand alone version of the program. I am not sure if Sonar has one. Most of the time, you would be installing that to your Drive C where most programs should be. Installation in that method would introduce some changes to your registry and that you cannot simply copy and...

    How do you get vocals to sit in the middle of the mix ?

    One issue probably that your studio/nearfield monitor are not properly configured or you are not listening in the "sweet spot" ruining the stereo image. Since you panned it already in the center, you should take a look at re-calibrating your studio monitors by running some standard audio test...

    Some Questions concerning techno music and some basics

    Most people I meet in that genre are using Fruity loops as their DAW. I think DAW should not be a strong factor when it comes to specializing a specific genre. IF that is the case, then you would heard DAW companies advertising or marketing that their DAW is inclined to rock, pop or techno...

    DIY Mastering: the DEFINITIVE way to go!

    Definitely you are right that DIY mastering is not for everyone. In my experience, I tend to learn instead of avoiding it. For example, if after one year it still does not sound right, I tend to ask why? Then I tend to check my workflow, my monitoring, my techniques, etc. I then come up with...
