Hi guys,
I'm newbie to this forum. Got my Tascam 1082 for a two weeks. Right now I'm just warming up for some „real work“ and of course there are problems from time to time.

So, I know a general idea is to keep your mixes peaking at around -3dB on mixes ITB. Some people told me to keep drums peaking at -12dB so there's enough room to put all the other instruments in.

hello guys!

it's me again :)

well, i can't finalize my mixes. I can't mix the vocal and instrument in harmony. Somehow the vocal sounds louder than the instruments or vice versa...

ahhh...i'm going crazy now...maybe something's wrong with my ears.

I'm using a pair of Tannoy Passive Monitors and AKG K44 Stereo Headphones.

Help me please!

I was looking into getting passive monitors. I would need an amp for them. Does the quality of amp have any effect on the monitors?

I am currently recording on a Fostex MR-8HD and transferring my (rather large) .wav files to my computer and ACID Music 3.0 (I know it's old!) for mixing, EQing, etc.

Hi,
For Windows DAW install...>

I notice that some Plugins can install both DX and VST version of the same plugin .
Which version is "better" to use for recording, and for mixing?
Better=less system resource intensive, memory CPU, etc...
Do I need both versions?

Thanx

I've heard that it's better to mix every channel in a digital mix in a low volume so that the master output channel doesn't clip, instead of lowering the master volume 3,4,5dB to avoid master output mixing, is this necessarilly true? why?

Sooooo... we have a recently formed unit that's starting out as a Queensryche tribute then using that set as the basis to proceed with original music. Our drummer had never listened to QR until I turned him onto them, but he's 50ish with a very nice kit, and has gone through the years playing Zappa, Rush, Police, Yes etc. There's no doubt he can play the stuff.

Your comments ?
Lately I've listened to some dangerously brilliant recordings for reference.
Guess what ? NO REVERB !
Or at least so little of it, that it just doesn't matter.
The approach it would seem :
Take the best mic preamp amps money can buy, the right mics, and get the performance tracks so that they just dont get any beter,
