Hey my name's Luke and I'm a 17 year old doing my A2 levels and hopefully going to do a degree in Music Technology at University next September.

As I read more and more on this forum I find that people stress having a well treated room to record vocals in. My question is this: What would you consider to be a "well treated room" for hip hop vocals and a bit of singing? As far as my limited understanding goes I would want to deaden as much reflections etc. in my booth as possible as a means of making my recordings sound better.

hi guys,
i'm new at this so all your help will be appreciated
i'm an indonesian so forgive me if my english is bad :D

my krks have two knobs one is called hf level adjustment and the other is the volume. what does the hf adjustment do ? and how do i know what to set it on ? ( it goes from -2 db to +1db ) and my volume goes from -30 db to +6db what is a good level to put this on ? when people say never put your volume all the way up are they talking about your computers volume or the speakers volume?

The difference expressed in dB between the nominal operating level of a device, and the maximum level that can pass through the device without being distorted.

or

The distance (in decibels) between the nominal level of a piece of audio equipment ("0" on the meter) and the clipping level, at which point it distorts.

I've got a potential recording session coming up with a heavy a-la SevenDust band. I recorded them years ago when I didn't know what I was doing at all. Now I certainly know enough to be dangerous. My actual studio space is small. 7 foot ceiling and only 13 x 22.

Hello everyone,

I'm pretty new to this forum and I need some help on how to deaden a room for ADR.

I basically have a 13 by 10 foot room and about a 10 foot ceiling.

I understand that the recording has to be dead as I can get it in order to match either outside or inside set-sound recordings of voice for ADR.

Hey guys, Right now I'm trying to record drums, but I just cant get the sound I'm looking for. My kit is in a 10x11 room with heavy foam and blankets. The rest of my house is completely open. I was thinking of moving my drums to the living room. OK, so heres my question, does the room really have a big effect on a close miked drum kit? Should I move my kit to record?

Hello all,
