Hi there. I’ve been reading/lurking in the forum for the past year or so, and have learned a TON over that time. Thanks to everyone for all the info.

I play guitar and sing, mostly as a hobby, but I do make a bit of money performing and streaming music online. I’ve bought some entry level gear over the past 2 years, and have also started recording using a DAW system.

Hey everyone,

I'm mostly a sort of bedroom studio for learning but have come across a song which I thought would be nice for me to try and replicate for a mix.

Hey everyone, I want to turn my room into a mini studio since making and recording music is pretty much my passion. Right now here is what I have...

Hardware:
PreSonus Firepod
Shure Sm58
Shure Sm57
At2020

Software:
Fruity Loops
Adobe Audition 1.5

Hi, I've been to guitar center recently and had a chance to listen to krk rp8 and Yamaha NS80m I liked Yamahas more, but I think both of them are so LOUD for my small room (9x9x8), so I was thinking may be it will be better just to get something like ns50m, or krk rp5, and than add sub to them if I move to another room.

Hey! I am looking to purchase a PA system for house parties, bands, etc., but I am not quite sure where to start. The room I will be using the system in is roughly 10ft by 25ft with an 8ft ceiling, but I would like to have a bit of flexibility so the system would be sufficient in a slightly larger room if necessary.

so what are your thoughts? who here gets good drum sounds in a small room and what is your set up? i have an okay sized room for drums.. its like 10x10 with a 7.5 foot ceiling. i know small rooms are not typically ideal but since that is what i am working with...what do you suggest for getting a big sound out of a little room?

I can't play loud music outside where I live and I usually hang out in my Garage which is detached from the house. Soundproofing is not an option because of the way the Garage is built and it is a small 1-car garage [L16'xW10'x8'].

Most of my friends who have Home Studio's have their garage converted into something very nice and costly that looks like a Star Wars space ship with lights off their racks glowing in the room with a computer that could probably run a space ship. I don't have that pleasure or that kinda cash . But each year I record at least 4 CD's and I have yet to hear 1 finished song from them.

Anyone have any sort of luck? I've read Julian's posts on other boards about the distressed mic outside the door. How big is your room and is it really dead? Is a somewhat triangular shaped room really bad? I'm just trying to get some sort of ideas, I'm sick of just having one big room for everything.
