Hi Guys, Well this is my 1st post here. I truly find this website and its collaborators to be a true godsend! Its good to see such a great vibe between fellow recording mates. Ok To my dilemma!

Need someone that have skills on the talkbox for a serious project!

I have heard a lot about BMI and ASCAP, and that I need to sign up with them, but could somebody give me the exact definition of what these companies do? Why do I need to sign up with them? Is it easy? Is it free? Also which one is best? :D :D :D

I'm an 18 year old singersongwriter and I'd like to know at least the basics of recording so that I can start getting my material together.

I have no idea if this is a hobby or what I want to do with my life, I just know it interests me more then what I'm doing at community college.

I'm looking for a free set of string (violin, cello, etc) samples with a similar format as the ns_kit set. Does anyone know of where I might be able to find those. Quality isn't an issue as they will be low in a project mix. Thanks a bunch.

How do i get that effect where the vocal sounds doubled on hooks of rap songs? when a voice is panned to the left as to the right and you can tell it is. I've tried panning the vocals hard left+hard right, but it just appears as a "whole" vocal. Any plugins that'll do the job? vst preferbly.

Hey guys/girls.

I'm recording guitar through a dual rectifier head, Micing up a 4x12 cabinet. I'm using a variety of sounds, from clean to fairly overdriven, mostly standard rock tones.

Hi everyone.

I am a fairly experienced home studio producer, but I have moved recently into a new genre of music whereby the production quality demands the best possible. . .

For all you BR-1600CD users that are interested:

My company purchased a BR-1600CD not long ago, and we were EXTREMELY dissapointed with the USB functionality and how incredibly slow and limited the entire "Export to WAV" functionality was.

With GC offering the Mixwizard 16:2 for $800, my credit card is getting the urge to buy something - even though new mics are next on my "list", that mixer is tempting.

I currently have a pair of Mackie 1402s - a VLZ and a VLZ Pro. I use them primarily as a banks of mic preamps for on-site recording, coming out of the inserts into a MOTU 24i.
