Woah, tutorials are great!:thumb:
I'm downloading Fruity Loops as I speak, I've been meaning to get a decent drum program, I've had LeafDrums, that was too unrealistic sounding, and Hammerhead is ok.
I'm also gonna download Cubase after that, I have ProTools free version (which I can't figure out how to use!), and Krystal Wave Audio, which ain't bad.

Hey dude, i'm setting up my own recording studio in my home
i'm getting my computer soon with all the programs and **** and a bit later after that a 6 or 8 channel mixer.
I don't really know much about mixing **** at all and this has been very helpful but any advice you have for me?
The first song i'll probably record will be Sin by Nine Inch Nails, a MIDI file with guitar and vocals put over it, or Wish by Nine Inch Nails which would be played by me and some mates.
Also the cost of anything else i'd need would be great, in Australian dollars would be even better

Does anyone else have a terratec EWS88 MT soundcard? Im having trouble configuring it!

Trent Hatfeild mason. for all the prices of stuff in aus. go to [url]www.venuemusic.com.au[/url] their really cheap.

once youve started recording, send me an email with any problems your having

k someone wanted to hear a song recorded in the studio. Heres a song that I used to test the MP3.com.au system. It's not one that was recorded in my real studio, but one I recorded with my band (the same one I'm still with) when I was like 14 or 15, so i thought you guys might find it interesting cause your doing home studio stuff. hopefully I'll get some stuff from my real studio on the net soon, but don't hold your breath, I'm not a real computer wizz, just when it comes to recording. I'm playing guitar and singing, check it out...

i like it, good quality...

yeah the qualities ok considering wot we were using!

Can u post some music that you have done with your actual studio please. I'm curious to how it sounds. Thanks

Wow just listened to your song, the quality's pretty good but the song's amazing! Very Chili-Peppers like (who im going to see in like 6 days!!!:D:D:D)
I love the bass it sounds well cool and guitar and drums everything also there is some nice effects. Sounds like something of By The Way but has some funky parts too.

Thanks lickedysplit, yeah i'm gunna post somethin real soon, I just waiting for it to clear with mp3.com!

hey does ne1 kno a really good drum loop program?

fruity loops or acid pro

hey... i record with an audigy 2... a small behringer eurorack 8 chan mixer... a midi interfase ... etc etc... i use cakewalk sonar and propellerheads reason...
i would like an update ... what should i get... a bunch of mics... or a better soundcard and mixer?? (i got an sm58 and a sm57)... i use them for everything...

i would also like some advice... i am very into recording, producing and all those things... the thing that i do not know... is if making a minor dipoloma or the whole major... keep in mind that im not from the US... nor Canada (mexico :) ) ...

btw...

listen to the first song.... (the rest sound like crap)

That sounds pretty lush. The recording is good as well. :thumb: actually wait the first minute kinda sounds like the outro to Sir Psycho Sexy by the Chili Peppers. Which is a good thing

hey thanks for the comments... hehe...

[QUOTE=theabstract]fruity loops or acid pro[/QUOTE]
No, no, no, not Fruityloops, it sounds too techno-music like. Hammerhead is a good program, look for it on [url]www.download.com[/url].
I am gonna try and mic my practice amp today, I only have a rubbishy uni-directional mic, so I don't know what it'll sound like.

yes, yes, yes fruity loops, just get some good samples you idiot, if it sounds techno, then your using techno samples

Where do you get good samples from? record them yourself??

you could record them yourself, or you can buy them, or I'm pretty sure if you type it in kazaa you'de probebly find some

[QUOTE=theabstract]yes, yes, yes fruity loops, just get some good samples you idiot, if it sounds techno, then your using techno samples[/QUOTE]
fruityloops is great..anyway im also an engineer in the making and i only have one thing to say about the monitor thing..and that is just make sure it sounds good through your monitors, your headphones and a little radio and you car radio...just check it on more than one place because it might sound awesome on one..but like you said it can sound crap on others..other wise everything else sounds awesome :thumb:

How well does the MR-8 work for home recording? me and my friend have a few songs and we'd like to make a demo, with me on drums and him playing bass and guitar, so we were gonna buy that to record plus several mikes, most likely the one you suggested for snares , the one you suggested for the bass drum, and then one or two for cymbals. We were thinking of micing up the drums and recording them first. Then plug the guitar directly into it and record that. and do the same with the bass. that way i can drum along with him while he records...does this sound reasonable? Also do those things(the MR8) require special tapes to record?

the MR-8 records onto compact flash, and apparently the one supplied with it cant hold much data onit.

Is the Digidesign M-Box, an 8 track mixer and a few mics good enough to record good quality stuff?

What sort of mic should I get for mic-ing my amp? I have a crappy Goodmans Uni-Directional ACC 2011, but you have to have the amp as high as hell to pick anything up. Recommend me a good mic that could also be used for vocals. Not one that's too expensive either.

shure sm-57
the classic..theabstract mentionted it on here..the model that has a built in pop-filter is the sm58 but the 57 works fine

the sm-58 is actually a completely different mic to the 57.

Can someone explain what compression does?

I lied everyone. I'm only 15. I'm not really a producer, well I do record bands, but it's not my main priority. sorry for deciving you but i wanted u to take me seriously.

PS I did still write this whole thing, and the stuff in it is all correct.

Good you came clean dude, but lieing isnt the way to get respect. anyway.

whats your opinion on Isolation Bozs, im thinking of making one... should i?
