The best part about doing everything within the band = Complete control over every aspect of the music. The worst part is that things take much longer because its really hard to reach a finishing point when the project is at your fingertips every day. My band has a pretty good system going...

To be honest (if your PC can handle it) I would recommend having 3 different superiors open. If you want to achieve a serious sound It works real well to use say the Cymbals and Toms from the avatar kit in your first superior, than the Kick from TMF in your second superior and the snare from...

I always like to throw Sound Toys Decapitator in my bass chain for some dirt

Hey everyone.. I joined this forum not too long ago to get some good info on recording/mixing for my bands new EP and fell in love with it. We decided to take a DIY approach so here is the mix I rigged up for the band. The mix lowdown for anyone whos curious. Tone from AXE-FX's...

Yes.. I would recommend Roxul brand.. I have heard its safer.. If you plan on placing these in an area that you spend a lot of time in Its good to wrap them well. Make sure you wear breathing protection when handling them.

I know that the Texas Instruments firewire chips are very good.. This card has one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124050&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3640931&SID=skim690X1299X3073b8f22825c195e788080619ff30bf...

Eh.. You aren't missing out on much.. Aside from playing smoothly blackmachines sound super thin and frail. With that kind of money there are plenty of choices that sound and play much better

Its hard to find a "practical" book on mastering.. They usually speak in generalities. I have yet to find an up to date mastering book that is catered to the digital era.

B.Katz's 'Mastering Audio' also.. Great book. Covers almost every topic

Ill send you a clip in an hour or so

Howdy! I love my unit also. The preamps are really nice. Haven't had any problems with it so far aside from latency problems and driver issues. I think as time goes on we will see more adequate vista x64 and Win7 drivers come out.

Sorry, but the only big sound I am hearing is the 808 hits every few seconds.

Just want to see if a lot of you get your mixes at a good volume during the mixing stage or more when you apply the limiter/maximizer and other master bus goodies during the end of the process. Also.. What part of the mix usually sets the standard as far as the loudness.. My latest mix has...
