I will be making a soundtrack eventually for a friend of mines novel and hope to connect with a few people to help me a little with the mixing processes. I have recorded and made mixes that sound good to me but I wasn't taking the mixing/mastering process seriously.

Hello everyone,

I'm building a new little glorified low budget home studio in my basement.
This thread is to document the process and to get advice from you pro's when I'm not sure on something.

Hi,

I've only noticed recently that the Studiotips Acoustics forum seems to be permanently offline.

The studiotips website is still up though. link removed

Does anyone know if there are plans to bring it back as I know many of you here took part there?

I want to add a few different styles for us. Maybe 3. This one, a dark one and a different one. Oh, and a special one just for the festive season.:)

NOTE: We are using XenForo so if you find a theme (style/skin) one that you particularly like, let us know by posting a link to it.
If enough people like a particular skin, I may add it to the choices.

Newbie here. Apologies if this is in the wrong section or it's been asked a million times.

I sell vinyls for a living but used to make a point of MP3'ing every vinyl before posting it to the customer. I had a terrabyte external and literally had around 2 thousand vinyl rips - yup, you guessed it, the hard drive blew and I lost the lot.

I would like you to post a link to a high quality audio clip of a drum recording that you have recorded, engineered, and mixed on your own for the purpose of all of us learning from one another.

Here is my recording

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about leasing an audio server for a dedicated mix forum.

We have enough members here that would support this. I would charge a monthly or yearly fee for those wanting to take part. On top of using it to share tracks for problem based learning (PBL), we could run mix contests every so often to really step it up. I know sponsors will support this.

Hi everyone,
Well first off...this forum moved me away from the MXL 990 to the Shure SM58 for recording R&B and Jazz vocals over instrumental tracks. I think I'll be happy with that. I'll get the 990 next month. So this is what I have in my GC basket...

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!
