Writing a production guide - sample inside

[-Loco-]

Doing it mainly as a little pass-time i feel the writing is quite enjoyable and relaxing!

Im quite inexperienced myself but enough to help some of the newbies i think.

Let me know if there's anything fundamentally wrong with my learning in other words

yeah, im going to add some definitions at the introduction...I literally just wrote for an hour straight to get a lot of the junk that had been on my mind out there. Shall refine it today! Will keep you updated

With the exception of some spelling errors, I'd say its a great n00b-guide.

Just one thing

Reaper isn't a freebie

900-1400hz why do you suggest this one as pre fader? out of curiosity

Nice! I'm a noob, and I love the EQ Part! ^-^
Thanks a lot!

on the note of your html code add in heading html code and give it a proper heading!

ie:

<h1></h1>

what i would do:

<h1>The (Metal?) Beginners Guide to creating/recording/mixing within a home-made studio</h1>

Sorry guys i will update all this things i'm just trying to get my plug-ins to work again pretty stretched for time at the moment! I hope to make the guide pretty long over the coming weeks like i said. I will add the trial expiration about Reaper although you can still use it for personal use when the trial has expired you just can't use it for other purposes is that not correct?

 

[Kool Dude]

When you get the chance do a section on compression with examples explaining what it's doing and why, please

That's what I really need help with at the moment!. I know what it all means, but I don't know how to properly use it

900-1400hz why do you suggest this one as pre fader? out of curiosity

how about reading the full sentence?

"this zone I find should always be adjusted pre rather than inside the DAW"

pre as in preamp.

 

[-Loco-]

Yes. Sorry ahj is correct, i apologise if that was not very clear!

Continuation on the guitars will be up tomorrow. Did some more tonight but I want to add just a little bit more and hopefully finish the 'strictly guitars' section. I'll probably keep posting updates even if nobody replies so stay tuned!

but I would still advice to write better grammar, as a non-english native I found it a bit frustrating to read. Also the basic formatting like headers would be a nice touch.
