Working with synths

I have very little experience with creating synths. I'm talking a nice pad, or interesting sounds that might go into a song to fill out space or create a little hook or fill a section in time etc. Pretty simple. Not too extravagant. If you're working with synths, do you typically start by searching ..

Mixing and mastering for vinyl

I'm just wrapping up an album project that I'm mixing and mastering, which will ship off to Disc Masters in about two weeks. I've now been informed that it will also be released on vinyl in Europe, where I'll have no involvement other than presenting them with the final premaster. This is a new expe..

Recording Live Drum Tracks

Hey Guys, Any tips for recording live drum tracks? I've only got 1 mic, and am going to the drummer's place with my portable rack. Where should I position the mic? Should I get separate tracks of the kick, snare, toms and cymbals so I can play with the panning later? The genre is acoustic: Jack Blac..

Sound Caulculator App

Found a cool app for all you sound and acoustic heads, it's called sound calculator pro and takes out all the guess work when treating your room. For instance the lowest note my room can handle is 48.7Hz. Just punched the room dimesions into the calculator and whamo Neb..

Mastering Tips

I put this in the Coffee House in response to Ben but it may also go un noticed there and others might find some these tips useful. Reference CD's I start by always getting the client to supply me with reference CD's. They will always have CD's that they are into and in the style of the music you ar..

Recording bass through a small speaker

I was struggling with a bass sound from an audio track. Tried a lot of eq and compression/limiting but couldn't really get it to sit in the track. In my old studio days, I would sometimes record a bass played through a 10" speaker with an SM57 just to limit its sonic range. I know that the original ..

File Organization

Hello all, Appreciate your thoughts on this. I received a hard drive with a lot of working tracks from stuff that friends and I had created long ago. Problem is, these working tracks are in various, unorganized folders. As I open a project that I wish to work on (and add tracks), I am forever chasin..

Using a MIDI VST Effect on an audio track

Not sure I phrased that question properly. Anyhow. I have EW Fab Four which has a fairly good ADT effect. Works well if I use it on the instrument loaded within Fab Four but I want to use the ADT effect on a vocal track. I can't seem to figure a way to do that. Fab Four won't load as an Audio FX onl..

Reflexion Filter - DON'T LAUGH!!!

You'll never believe this! So I was tracking vocals today, and I noticed in my headphones the mic was picking up A LOT of the room. I don't know how the heck I've missed this before. I was using a RODE NT1A which I haven't tracked my own vocals with before, so maybe that was part of it. Anyway, I ha..
