Warren Huart, producer and engineer for acts like Aerosmith, James Blunt, Korn, and others, has this video on YouTube, where he talks about the 5 Key Things that every home studio should have. He also talks about the things that he feels aren't as important; most notably, pro level mics, pre's, converters and monitors.

So, I like my record rig. But I know it's a matter of time before I'm gonna have to have a forced upgrade.so I'm preemptively asking what direction I should go.

Hello All,

I am new to this forum.

I recently acquired a MOTU 16A. The unit, took a while to get setup and running due to software-based shortcomings from MOTU. Once the unit was setup however; after roughly 48 hours of tweaks, reboots, reinstalls and a myriad of bad words I didn't even know I knew...lol...the unit is proving to be very powerful.

I have been thinking about adding an OB compressor to the rack recently, and, being on a budget I have come across the ART Pro VLA II. This thing seems to get a good wrap for the price, and general concensus in regards to feedback is they sound better when the standard stock chinese-made tubes are replaced with Mullard 12ax7 tubes.

Now the Windows community can join the fun.

I am currently using Studio one as my DAW of choice. ease of work flow. What are some of your choices to make music.

There are at least two Performing Rights Societies who are filing law suites against SC for copyright infringement and illegal distribution, one based in the U.K. and one based in the U.S.

If this litigation does go through, it could very well result in the end of Soundcloud...

I would like some advice from members on the topic of blocking the bass ports on nearfield speakers.

I've recently become a founding member of a group partly formed by Mike Oldfield's own brother, Terry Oldfield. The owner of the group (maybe Mike himself, for all I know) gave me some criticism of my cover of Mike Oldfield's song 'Sentinel' from the Tubular Bells II album. I was told that this recording has virtually no dynamic range.
