Hi all.
Ive just signed with this forum and looking forward to becoming an active member.
I live in London UK and have been recording for around 5 years now and have nearly 200 original tracks on my youtube site. I have a question. How do I create a thread in the forums? I can't see a thread starter button anywhere. Thanks.

Hey everyone,
nice to see a community for producers/musicians, I study art and pretty much just make music instead of painting or anything. Hoping to get better at all of this music stuff, see you all soon!

Hello Anne and welcome. I am a Reaper man myself along with many members of this community. This is a great video resource for Reaper and best of all, it's free. I visit the video locker often as things are updated. There is no doubt that any questions you may have, can and will be answered by this community. You made a great choice going with Reaper.

Hey, my name is Lilla and I am a member of a creative group. I'm sure many of you used crowdfunding for your projects. Can I have some comments on this campaign?:
No Man's King | Indiegogo

Does it sound intersting to you? (Not asking for money, I am asking for help.) Thank you!

It took less than 3 sec for me to sign off. I don't play games.

Hello, my name is Tony, I just joined the forum. Was wondering if I could get some help with the new Steinberg U22 interface I just bought. I downloaded Cubase and am finding it extremely complicated to set up. I am slowly beginning to figure it out, the main problem I have now is after I record a track I can't hear the playback. I can hear the music in my headphones while I am recording it, however, when I play it back I can't hear anything. I can see that it is playing as the lights go up and down with the music, but I can't hear anything. Any ideas on what is going on?

Thanks

 

[JimmyS1969]

Howdy Tony.

Sounds like you just need to click the monitor button on the track. It looks like the side view of a speaker.

I myself prefer that to be automatic when record button off. You will set this in your preferences:

File>Preferences...>VST. From drop down menu for 'Auto Monitoring', select Tapemachine Style.

Hope that helps.

 

[Mack Caster]

Hello Tony. Sweet interface! If Jimmys suggestion does not work, try going into your preferences and make sure you have your desk top speakers selected as the "Output Device". If you have your interface as the selected output device than you will need to use the headphone jack on the interface. If you look at the picture below, this is what it looks like in Reaper.

Hi I'm Joe, I used to be a guitarist/singer but had a stroke so now it's a bit hard. I'm stillplaying though and trying to get decent sounding youtube videos, it seems impossible to me to get that sound that some others have, I was listening to a girl earlier and she had a real pro sound, says she records at home! This one: YouTube



and if you listen to any of my videos you'll see I'm light years away from that sound! Here's mine: YouTube

Nice to be here, hoping to learn a lot! Thanks!

 

[Mack Caster]

Welcome Joe. Your YT link is broken. I have seen Elles videos before. She is very talented IMHO.

 

[SmalltownJoe]

Hi Mack! Another of those sites where you have to waste time posting crap before you can post your own link....sigh...

They do this to cut down on spam Joe. If not, people would just sign up and place link after link without adding anything of value to the community, other than to promote their own agenda. Just add one of your vids like you did for Elle and it will give people a way to see your work. Is this you? If it is Brother, I am DIGGIN IT!

99% will boil down to room treatment when it comes to recording at home. I watched a few of your vids and as far as I can see, you have none at all, or at least that's what the cam is showing.

Thanks Mack!
Yes Joe, it's true.
The link limitation only came in last week because we're being targeted by sports-stream spammers.
Unfortunately they're still doing it, somehow, so I guess we'll probably roll back on restricting all users.

Welcome to HR! I replied on your thread, btw, although it's pretty much the same reply Mack gave.

 

[SmalltownJoe]

Yes that's me in the video!! Thanks man!!

Yeah it seems I need to ttreat my room, a couple of others have just told me the same...... oh and get closer to the mics, although I'm not sure about tht...
