Many moons ago, I won a contest from recording.org for a copy of Sonar 8.5 Producer's edition. I have been happily running the software on a Windows 7 desktop.

That machine has gone on to a better place so now I am putting together a new desktop. I am looking into running a Linux system (but may just do a dual OS install for audio).

We asked renowned Aussie garage rock producer Owen Penglis (also plays in garage rock band Straight Arrows) to talk about his favourite mics, how he uses them and why he can't live without them - http://enmoreaudio.com/owen-penglis-favourite-mics-of-all-time/

What are your fav mics ever?

Hey everybody,

I'm a producer of various genres of electronic music, but I mainly focus on progressive and electro house.

Hey Guys! I recently started producing music for a couple artists and am wondering what the best way to go about getting contracts is.

Hi guys,

Hey guys. I've decided to try and make a name for myself as a producer. I've been fortunate enough to get a lot of help from you guys and a lot of encouragement to and I've decided to really go for it. I'm going to write and produce my own album and get a bunch of people to guest on it.

Help, please! :)

Hey all

I am new here. I am getting mixed answers on a few questions.

I am a heavy metal singer and I sort of know 1 composer/producer who writes stuff not only for his band but for side projects.
How would I approach him to find out if he could use my voice? What do I need to do? Get a demo? I know they will come down here by end of the year.

I need some cheap studio monitors that are best for producing hip hop (heavy bass) and edm.

Any recommendations?

Hello experts. I want to know what bands/artists/producers ask to recording studio owners (or in-house producers) during negotiations to hire recording services. What do they ask you?
