I've been using my old computer (P4 1.6) for years for music production and currently want to purchase a new machine. For my own convenience, I'd like to aquire a laptop for music production (I'm using Reason, Cubase SX and Firepod).

Is anyone using MacBook Pro for recording and mixing purpoase? I'd like to hear some opinion, thanks!

Hi,
I'm a producer of electronic music from Canada, a newbie on this forum.
I have somewhat of a problem when trying to balance individual elements during mixing of a song.
Trance genre requires specific things like a present and strong backbeat with a pronounced kick that doesn't interfere with the rest of the mix.

I'm getting a little ferklempt, I'll give you a topic...

Mixing methodology. How do we normally tackle the mix? Build up a drum mix, followed by bass, and up to guitars and vocals? Or start off with solo vocals / lead element at a certain volume (?), and bring up the other elements around that?

HELLO EVERYONE!

I'm thinking of buying an analog board to use with my Pro Tools setup.
Which is: -Powerbook 15/1.5/2gig
-002R PT 7
-Behringer ADA8000
-Command 8
-Yamaha MSP5's
-Seagate 160 FW HD

Can someone help me out ...I am new to this and I bought a few toys t fiddle with. But from what I am reading in differnt books is that ...Say the drums, base, vocals and Keyboards all have there sounds confined to a certain freq range. Kind of shelving frequencies so as not to step on what is going on around it.

For some reason when i playback the track i recorded through the monitors, it sounds real fat and full, mixed and EQ'd great, but when it gets put to CD so i can hear how it sounds through car speakers or my CD player at home, it always seems off, mixed improperly and EQ'd less as well.

If you recorded all your tracks for your new song(s) in your own studio. And then wanted to mix them down at a real nice studio. With a high dollar console. Which way is the best way to approach the owner so that you will get the best deal.

hello ppl,

i need to master a song, but the bass has many boom sound.

how i remove a boom bass, in a mixed song?

thanks

Hi all. My name is Chris and I've been lurking for some time now just reading, but now I have a question. My band is recoridng a 5 song E.P. (rock music). We'd like the end product to sound as professional as possible in terms of the mix (and master) when were done (wouldn't we all).

hello

i'd like to know how you can bring something up in a mix without making it louder.

i have some rock/metal tracks with some electronic sounds in them. when i make them louder they're too prominent in the mix, when i pull them down, they seem to almost disappear.
