Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but it seemed the closest...

I have been reading about how to record and master music. I played all instruments and recorded a song in my little 14' x 14' studio. I have been using Sonar 8.5 for 3 months. I posted this song last week, but everyone here said that it was very muddy, so I have been working on it this week.

My question is:

How loud should it be, or should it not be?

I record to a Radar 24 that replaced our 2" tape machine 12 years ago. I am having the radar upgraded to write in wave files, putting in an ethernet card, and eventually ADAT light pipe. I have a macbook pro.

Im going to be recording a Symphony Orchestra on Friday in a 1400 seat room. They will be playing with a band. The band will be smushed right in the middle of the stage with the Orchestra around them. Good thing is the drums are roland v-drums so that eliminates the drummer destroying the orchestras sound in the recording.

Hello there,

I recently have gotten a new computer and it has been a nightmare trying to get things working. I have had it for about a month and have yet to record a single track because nothing is working properly. I will try to be as detailed as possible and hopefully can find solutions.

The comp specs are:

Brand: Dell Studio XPS

Hi
I am new here, and need some advise on reverbs that can reproduce large hall effects with very natural sound. What 2 channel reverb or sterio reverb on the market is best suited for this? I am still using the Yamaha REV 7, and just purchased two TC M350's which I don't care for, I still find the Rev 7 better and more natural.

I am in a couple of bands. I do the sound. Rehearsals and jams are at my house. The main band is five-piece rock n roll. Right now there is only vocals through the mixing beard. All I have to record with is a laptop. Oh, and I have a Tascam 22-4 reel-to-reel that I may or may not use.

hey peeps, need sum advice, in process of buying a new pc which is quite powerfull, probs gna be a quad core so power should be caple for many progs.

n e ways currently using

DUAL DIAPHRAGM CONDENSER MICROPHONE B-2 PRO running into
Behringer Eurorack UB1204FX Pro (although bigger version cant remember model)
then into a standard on board soundcard.

Me and my friend are trying to get a basic home studio thrown together. however due to the fact of both of us being fairly new to recording tequnique, equipment, software etc, we need a bit of help. i need advise on a mic. we play any genre type from death metal to rock and punk and need a vocal studio mic to get a real good, clean, clear sound.

We are a not for profit spiritual organization and cannot offered to go for professional mastering. We record strictly male vocals in a semi-studio setup (sound proof & acoustic treated). We have only one speaker and we don't even add music. We are able to record fairly well.
