    The Mbox mini (3rd gen) and the PS4

    Lets talk about pre production

    smy1 thanks for the great post, example, and audio file! From what you've described i've done this before with bands/solo acts. But like i said, they come in with their finished product and i have to suggest ways to improve the recording after the fact. At that point its too late

    Lets talk about pre production

    Thanks for the replies! Machinated, i feel as though any answer would be kind of vague, as every band and song would require a different approach. But anything is helpful! Especially the idea of "subconsciously" adding an idea instead of sort of forcing the idea upon them. This was my main...

    Lets talk about pre production

    Lets talk about pre production

    Hey everyone! Normally with bands around my area, we just record at tops an ep, and mostly just singles. So one of the few bands to stick around long enough to write a full length is coming back to me to record a 12 song cd. I've had experience with them when i recorded a 5 song ep about a...

    Home studio room build questions

    haha my home is kind of goofy, this room used to be a one car garage but the old owners changed it, added on, and turned it into a second kitchen (just a stove and a toilet for some reason.) But really i'm limited on funds, it took me forever to save up enough money though this build is...

    fake overheads for drum samples?

    Just a random question here, but everyone knows how to make a "drum room sound" with some verb on a bus, but has anyone tried making "fake overheads"? I've made fake drum bleed in the past, set the drum (say a snare) to a bus, and have the input of that bus on a new track, set the rest of the...

    Drumagog drum replacer?

    Drumagog has always given me problems, lately it has such a high latency that i'll have to print the tracks and move them back to their original location. Though you could turn your drum hits into midi and use superior drummer, though it takes some time and you only have sd sounds.

    cab recommendations for peavey jsx?

    I figured they would'd pair well together, as both are known for their midrange in my opinion. Peavey and orange that is.
