Hey guys, I just joined a rock band as the bass player (I've been playing guitar for 9 years, started bass last year), and now I need to buy equipment. I was initially planning on getting just a Sansamp Bass Driver to play live and run it through the PA, but apparently most places have shit...

Hey guys! This is a cover I recorded last week. I got into doing a lot of this type of stuff recently, and do about one or two each week, clean/acoustic stuff like Oasis, Porcupine Tree, Blackfield, Silversun Pickups (working on a cover of Melatonin atm). Here's my shot at the title song from...

After about a year with my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra, I've decided to switch to something else. I really like this interface, but the lack of sleep/hibernate support has become a problem for me. I've been checking out the Tascam US-2000, there doesn't seem to have any huge issues with it, but...

"That's right! Opeth will start the recording of their 10th album on the 31st January 2011. The band has picked the legendary Atlantis studios (ex Metronome studios) in Stockholm and will once again work with Jens Bogren engineering. Mixing duties will be handled by Steven Wilson (Porcupine...

Hey, just testing the waters here. My friend has been writing these ridiculous "folkgrind" songs and we actually made a joke album out of it. It's all midi guitars and programmed drums right now, but we thought it would actually be pretty cool to record it for real. The only problem is that...

...with Reaper! I got my new laptop this week and while setting up everything for audio work, I figured I'd give Reaper a shot. I've been a Sonar user since I started and wow. Reaper has everything I thought Sonar was lacking or just stuff I was annoyed about. There's even a quick-start PDF on...

This is a cover of Devin Townsend's Hyperdrive I tracked and mixed two weeks ago. I wanted to wait for my friend vocalist to lay down some tracks before posting it here, but we're both pretty busy these days, so it'll have to wait. However, if anyone's interested in giving it a shot, it would be...

Well... it's a start at least =) I've been trying to reamp my Mesa without success for a while now. I had Solo C set up initially for this song, but it was too fizzy no matter what I did. I figured I might as well just mic up a real amp to get a real sound and I managed to get something decent...

Hey, this got posted a couple of weeks ago on the DT forums. I couldn't find anything using the search bar, so I guess I'll share it with you guys! It's not much, and not really that useful, but fun to know nonetheless. What Frequencies are you rolling off with your High Pass & Low Pass...

fuck me. please delete this :S

I just got into this bad this week, spinning both their records non-stop. The production on Monolith is really amazing, the guitars have this nice analog feel and everything is so organic and dark.The atmosphere is just perfect. The drums are pretty much flawless too. Does anyone have any...

Hey guys! I know this isn't generally the style that gets posted here, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I had a friend who wanted to record this song, so I figured it might be the occasion to try out my new toys (M-Audio interface, new AT2035 microphone and reamp box). The guitars are done...

Hey guys! I'm looking around for a new interface and I stumbled on this. I thought some of you might find it useful too =) http://www.rainrecording.com/windows-watch/

Okay so I was in a music store today, and I figured that I might as well ask one of the clerks about something that's been bugging my about my interface. Basically, when I record stuff with my SM57 (the only mic I've had up until now), everything is fine. When I plug in my guitar directly in...

Hey all, This is my take on the Storm King song posted in the songs to mix thread. It's also my first mix with all real instrument tracks to start with. I can say it was a LOT more fun/fulfilling to do than amp sims like I always do and drum samples. Learning to cope with mic bleed and snare...

Hey guys, I wanted to get the Audio Technica AT2035 with the headphones package from Musicians Friend, but unfortunately, they don't ship over here. So I have around 150$ to spend on a good condenser microphone to do mostly clean vocals and acoustic guitars (the only other microphone I...

Hello hello, This is the song Hands of Despair - Athena Will Sing that was posted in the "songs for mixing practice" thread. It's the first mix I've done in a while, since my computer hard drive crashed and had to reinstall everything. Every mix I was working on before was my band's stuff and I...

Hey guys, I'd like your comments/tips for this mix. It's pretty much a demo quality thing for a new project my friend started called Xenith. Most of the material is heavier prog-metal but this particular song has more of an alt rock vibe. I've mixed a few things here and there but I'd say...

I recorded an awesome singer yesterday, and did the whole thing in pretty much less than an hour. I'm still new at this, but I'm kinda happy at the way it turned out. It's mostly for some friends to hear, so no profesionnal stuff. http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1648192/What%20Have%20You%20Done.mp3

Hey everyone, I've been lurking here for a while, trying to swallow the most information possible :P Anyways, here's my first mix ever of one of my friend's compositions. It's still a work in progress, but I'm pretty much clueless as to where to go next. The drums are from a GP file, and...
