I would like some feedback. I just finished an iso room in my studio to track in. I’m a drummer and I will never have the square foot or height to track ambient drums. I’m ok with that and I’m fine with adding room post tracking. I guess the biggest challenge I face is getting the drums sound big enough for hard rock/metal projects.

I was mucking around today playing along with a track from the Antelope Zen demo stems from Sweetwater.

I liked the room they originally recorded in and the original drummer was amazing.

My room is 15 by 30 but has a low ceiling about 6 ft 3 I've made my room dead as the original surfaces are Cinderblocks and concrete. As a result it can sound boxy.

Hello there,
It's my first post here but I've been around for couple of weeks now just reading and gaining knowledge from this great forum as well as other places and books I found.
I'm planning to move my composers workshop to a dedicated room which is rectangular and very small (2,59mH x 2,1mW x 2,9mL = 8ft 6in H x 6ft 10ft W x 9ft 6in L). All plastered concrete.

Small waveforms for keyboard tracks

Greetings. I was asked to play guitar and help record a band that's like Lacuna Coil. Always up for a challenge, I agreed. Mostly, we are working remotely. I received the keyboard parts recently, and when I imported them into Studio One, I noticed that the wave forms are nearly invisible. I can hear the tracks, but I am wondering why this would be.

Hey Ya'll,
so i made an impulsive decision to purchase Logic Pro X;
and i have to say, ***i'm truly impressed!***;

although the operating performance seems a little slow (although it could be my computer!), and of course some of the usual functions seem a slight bit glitchy, which is expected in the early days of any released software.
