OK, so I'm learning about the home recording process and on Tuesday I will be doing my first session. I believe I have the recording equipment side of things right. Now, the issue of the listening device comes up. The store I've been buying equipment has lots of different headphone brands and so on. Headphones seem to be the standard for recording purposes. Why? What's wrong with earphones?

Well, the new version is out after a five year wait. As Audition is my main DAW I went ahead and purchased the upgrade and standalone while it was cheap. Academic pricing is pretty decent too.

So I'm working on the birth of a record label that will be releasing old field recordings of local heritage type music. A decade or two ago my boss gave some of those recordings to County Records and they used some of them in a compilation. My boss has the original masters and nothing was signed when he handed over copies of the recordings.

i am beginning to think that you have waaay more stems in vocals then the instruments in the song. is this true or i am not focusing on the sound of the instruments more?

OK, this is a crazy busy week for me. Graduation ceremonies Friday and Saturday, remote recording yesterday, live gig on Sunday, taking Alice to check out a grad school next week. And of course, the UFX arrives yesterday.

I have a matched pair of Mojave MA-100's that I am giving away to some worthy member.

This is a $1595.00 value that is very sweet!

Stay tuned for contest details!

Alright heres the deal, my band has started the recording process, and we are new to this, but not new to the point where we dont know anything were doing. Were recording with an Audio-Technica condeser special edition mic and a digital interface so that we have a good sound card, and we are using adobe audition.

So, I've got a dude coming over to play some sitar for a recording. I will be using an AKG Perception 420. Bare in mind that P420 mic has three modes: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure 8. I will be recording at my small house. The problem is that I have wooden floors and not much stuff in the hoiuse to soak up reverb. Any tips on how to record here?

Is there a good 3rd party AU RMS Meter plugin out there for Mac or are the ones supplied with Logic accurate enough? Looking for a plugin that might be better/ more accurate (if that is needed).

Just a heads-up for anyone who has ever thought about going to Recording Workshop...

Fairly major changes to their 2011 curriculum.

Going to a recording school is not the best path for all, but it is a good path for some.

Recording Workshop has been doing it for years... has a pretty good, world-wide reputation...

Not crazy expensive either.
