I am reconsidering mastering my own mixes, at least for the time being. However I will need a mastering plug in. I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the Kjaerhus MPL-1 Pro SE.

Hey everyone, i recently set up a home studio in a spare room in my house. When i record everything sound so good.
The problem is when i change it into an mp3 to put it on my bands myspace account the quality drops drastically.
Theres has to be someway i can get it on to the page without it losing so much quality.

I am looking for a good bus compressor plug for my new UAD-2. My #1 purpose will be a drum bus, #2 for rough masters. Anyone have any thoughts on these 2 and which they like better for what? I know its highly subjective (as are most posts), but that's the point! As always, I'd greatly appreciate any input. Thanks guys!

Hey,
Im looking to buy a drum plugin (ideal VST as I use cubase). I currently use EZDrummer but ive been told several times that the drum sounds are letting me down.

I really want whatever I buy to last me a while so I'm willing to spend quite a bit, id rather spend a bit on a good package to last me a while.

I have a fire wire 16 channel mixing/recording board and all was working well with Cakewalk Home Studio 2004 except I cannot get home studio to record to my external drive and it appears it will not allow me to save to a new folder when doing different songs it wants to put all wav files on the C drive. I have a 1.8 GHz 512 MB computer with external 7200 rpm 16 MB cache.

Which do you choose?

I'm debating on working with Pro Tools and using a Digidesign C|24 as a control surface, and a 003 rack... Or going a cheaper route and using Cubase with a Tascam DM4800, and a MOTU interface

I have had a little more experience with cubase, a little easier for me to work with, but what do you guys think?
Is it that big of a difference?

Can a good sound be created without good software? I have been using Audacity and continually get some sort of hissing type noise in the background. Is that the mic or the software? I know there are not as many advanced mixing options with audactiy, but does the sound actually change when using higher end software or do i just have a crappy mic?

OLD Gear List:
-Console- Digidesign C|24-$9000

-Mic- (Thinking Neumann)-$2000
-Monitors-(Thinking Dynaudio) -$1000
-Preamp- Digidesign PRE- $2000

Hi
Ive been recording my own stuff at home for a few years now and I'm just starting to get a bit more serious with it. I use Adobe Audition 3.0 and I have just began using the Antares Auto Tune 4 plug in. My question is, is this an effect i should apply pre recording or can it be applied post very well?

Thanks
