Hello everyone! Please help us to welcome our newest moderator, Big_D, to the DAW's and Computing forum. Don, you've been a valuable asset to RO since you first started posting here, and on behalf of the entire RO team...

i understand the principles, but what is the best way to do this?

when i want to record a fairly heavy rock song with many distorted rhythm guitars. i want the song to get louder and fuller in the pre-chorus, and louder and fuller still during the chorus

1. how many guitar tracks should i layer for each part of the song?

I've got a big label band coming to my home studio to record a track for my Pantera/Damageplan tribute project I'm putting together. I told them over and over that this is a small format DAW setup, but they keep saying they don't care and they want in on the project.

Hi! in a previous topic (see "upgrading PC to serial ATA standard") Big_D suggested me to consider building a P4 pc on my own - instead of going to buy an assembled one in a pc store. I would upgrade my recording station from P3 1Ghz ATA to a P4 3 Ghz serial ATA.

Hey all,

Since I'm switching to spinning CD's from vinyl, I've been thinking that it would be really convenient to import all my CD's as AAC files (into itunes) so that I can burn my own playlists, and burn doubles for beat juggling.

Ok now here is the deal, i was reading the reviews of the songs from this group project and it seems that the ones that recieved the best reviews were the ones whiich lacked a 20-450 section. This made the song very brittle and clean. Is that what clients want in a song? This brittle and clean and powerles music? Just listen to those which recieved high reviews and you'll see what i mean.

Does the rosetta have the same clock chip as the Big Ben? Does anyone know if there is a difference?

Hi everyone, I've been scanning these boards for a few weeks and found some great tips from other peoples posts, but up until now I haven't posted anything. I'm hoping some of the more intermediate to advanced audio guys out there (specifically those who mix well) could help me out with this one.

I have always been a fan of that Texas Blues sound started by Albert Collins and later by Billy Gibbons and Stevie Ray Vaughan. SRV's engineer on his early work really captured that sound perfectly. It sounds like your at a live show with big guitar all around. I'm not looking to copy it, just get some of that big guitar sound into our recordings.

I was interested in this device:

Great for routing (including balanced signals), great to have a turntable input, and great to have a monitor volume control closely at hand but, not so great at $895 Australian Dollars (my guess is about $US640).
