I don't think it sounds out of tune. The tuning sounds fine. The only thing I hear is it may be SLIGHTLY off timing. If it's a synth, it sounds like you might have a delay on it. Try adjusting some of the settings in your synthesizer. If it's a real piano, just keep playing it until you get the...

I was under the impression that having a 24bit interface vs. a 16bit interface would affect the quality of mixdowns, this isn't the case? I've read that there is less latency while recording with a firewire interface vs. usb, and also that it allows you to work with more tracks, plugins, and...

Bump, anyone?

I'm currently running an M-Audio Mobile Pre USB preamp, I don't record drums, and really only need 2 inputs...I don't have a firewire interface in my PC so I'd also need to buy one of those. The only thing I really actually record, is guitar (impulse / ampsim) and vocals. My question is, will...

I'm looking around at some of the Black Friday deals, and I'm trying to find a decent sound system (could be speakers, a CD Player with Aux in, whatever you can think of) that could be used to play music in a small house for a party or something. All I really care about, is that it has an Aux...

The guitars are ampsim + catharsis impulses. Thanks for the EQing tips, I'll give that a shot. I'll cut some of the lower end on the kick, I also thought it sounded a bit bassy, wasn't sure if maybe it was just my speakers though. This mix is actually kind of a humorous thing I made to go...

Just checking on guitar / bass tone, and tightness. not too worried about how the drums sound, I put no effort into them for this example except the kick. I'm thinking the low end may be a little loud, and the guitars may be a little tinny. What do you guys think though...

So, aside from the awful song choice, which I'm fully aware of, trust me, how did I do production wise? Equipment used for instruments: m-audio MobilePre, some headphones, and my LTD Viper. Vocals were recorded elsewhere, I tried to mix them. Big thanks for any tips...

I'm trying to figure out how the producer got the machine gun effect you hear in this song at 3:23, as well as the glitchy effect at 3:32. Is this done with the glitch plugin often mentioned here? If so, is there a particular sound it's being applied to to create that effect...

Did you use a tapestop plugin on the very last scream? Or did you just do a drop in the pitch as it was cutting out?

Uh, essentially, yes. People bash on them every day for their music. My post was simply a defense in that they claim they write what they want to write, regardless of what people say. Period.

Hey man, you might want to consider using Dropbox for your uploads to make it more convenient for everyone here. You're more likely to get a response, and tips on how you can improve your mix. Also, maybe start with explaining what your current guitar chain is, that way we can work with you...

Good god. Kick drum info?

I did a bit of further researching and found the while Tunecore promises 100% of profit, what I was worried about was how much is that 'profit', because iTunes has to take a chunk from it to make their money. From what I was able to find, iTunes gives 70% of profits back to the artists, which...

Man, this is SO good. Just like Chasing Dreams Without Sleep, I could listen to this all day long. Edit: In the breakdown section at the end, specifically on the first four held palm mutes, there's a little rattle going on that bugged me a bit. Nothing serious though. Love it.
