Hi, got a bit of an odd one here that I'm not sure I trust my ears on. I'm working with a band right now, and since their drummer's feet are all over the place in regard to velocity (pretty typical metal drumming, light on the fast stuff hard on the slower) I've been experimenting with a new technique.

Whats up everybody? I been checking out this site for some months now and trying to improve my engineering skills but I feel as of now, i'm not improving anymore. I was just wondering if anyone could help me a little bit as of which direction to go in, on improving the quality of my hip hop songs.

How are iPods for recording music, or for me in particular, singing from a lavalier mic?

I certainly get my best musical inspiration while I’m on the move, and since I’m backpacking across the country this summer, I thought I would wear a lavalier connected to a recorder for fast capture.

Hi! I'm new here and as of now am primarily here looking for advice on new gear.

Hi,

I recently bought a Win7 laptop for home use. I'm going to try to re-purpose it for use as a 'Rompler'... to replace my Korg and Ensoniq Keyboard WS which are getting ready to die.

I don't need a lot of sequencing... I just need to switch patches quickly. So this is meant to be not much more than a glorified multi-preset keyboard.

Hi! I just got a permanent paid gig with a very well-known and established band. It's my first permanent gig since the 90's. I expect the band to be touring again constantly within a year. Yay for me!

I've been using Ableton 8 and an Axiom 25 controller on a Mac Mini with Native Instruments Razor for a couple of weeks now. It works really well on Mac. However, it was a CPU monster so I literally bought a new PC for the express purpose of running many channels with the Razor plugin . Now I'm getting midi latency.

I've been struggling for a long time to find the right vocal mic. I own an AT 4047, 4033, and Shure sm7b. The problem I have is that I'm a male tenor who can get somewhat piercing when singing in the upper registers of my range. The unpleasantness is very close to the siblance area...in the 5-7 khz range.

Hello. I am new to this forum and waiting for my registration to come through. I have been enjoying making purist recordings in DSD with my Korg MR-1000 with simple stereo mics of live unamplified acoustic performances. It is amazing how good these can be when things are just right. But, my opportunity to capture such things is rare.

I've been loading my EastWest Gold XP Pro Symphonic Orchestra onto a new Windows 7 laptop. I'm finally moving off of my trusty XP desktop. Anyone have any recommendations? Should I take this opportunity (and spend $99) to upgrade to NI's newest "Play" platform?
