I am setting up to record a bass guitar track and working with the eq. This bass - which admittedly isn't THE greatest bass - has an odd tone thing happening. Any note I play anywhere on the neck has this great punchy clarity to it EXCEPT for any A note - especially open A and the A on the 7th fret of the d-string.

Hi everyone, needs some help choosing my next pair of studio monitors, these will be my main monitors.

The Room is 19X15, bass traps in every corner from floor to ceiling, wood floors, the entire ceiling has floating fire-bat clouds and absorption on the walls.
Needless to say, the room is very quiet and doesn't exaggerate any low end or high-endfrequencies.

Through my research, people say that core i5 is good enough for what I plan to do. I don't have all the money for it yet, but what I plan to buy is a $750 HP laptop with these specs: Intel core i5, 6 gigs of ram and a 750GB 7200 RPM HDD. I also plan to buy a $150 external hard drive.

Hey I got Pro Tools 8 LE--M box mini, and I'm comping vocals but I want to get a little mixer so muting and everything is so much easier.

Went to guitar center and the guy tells me none of their mixers will work with pro tools--only pro tools 9 and 10 offer that option.

Hello, I am sorry this may sound like a crazy question, I have no experiencia and I found myself in a critical situation

I am financing recording of a solo flamenco guitar album. The guitarrist is really good but he is going through serious health problems and I am starting to think he is not going to be able to finish the recording.

Hi all - -

Hello, I am new to the world of sound recording. I just found a used Tascam DR-05 that I put on lay away for mainly recording nature and live stuff. Any one use this? What would be a good, inexpensive mike for nature recording. I am thinking of a shotgun type.

so i just bought one of these the other day. its a piano with 8 beat pads. ive been trying to set it up through studio one artist for a couple days and have had 0 luck. Ive added the instrument and everytime i play a key the sound bar goes up. i record with it and it even shows what keys I'm pressing but i cant hear it.

Is it all good (Legal) if i go round my town getting sponsors for my album (I need £200 to upgrade my home studio to record my first bedroom album)

If people sign the sponsor form and give some money in return i'll give a 'Thank you pack' which includes a copy of my album, and also have there name on a 'Thank you' leaflet inside the album

DOES THIS SOUND GOOD?

So, there are two major subjects thats I'm trying to wrap my brain around. In this case (as it very well may be in general) they are closely related:

1. Signal path, especially related to FX's (pre-fade & post-fade)
2. Using a noise-gate for optimum recording
