Just got a pair of used MSP5, love them already but I now hate my room :)

Hi all- recently moved into a new place in Manhattan and I'm looking to start recording a demo on my own as the acoustics in here are great and my neighbors don't seem to mind so far (been playing electric guitar, singing, etc. fairly loud) but just to be sure that no one kicks my ass I want to be able to isolate the noise from my room and from my kit as much as possible.

Hi

I wonder if someone can help or give me a tip.
I've just been working on our bands Cd using Logic audio and its actually beeter than any demo we've had done at a top studio, but there are a few flaws.

As a general rule, when adding a vocal track to an existing musical accompanyment track prior to mixdown, would one slightly adjust the volume levels on the musical track for balance, or adjust the volume levels on the vocal track for balance? Methinks the musical track should be subtly adjusted for balance whilst leaving the vocal track alone for the most part.

Hey...

I'm using SONAR XL 2 and a MOTU 2048 mkii for my recording. I'm monitoring through a set of medium quality headphones. Typically, I record everything into SONAR and mix the tracks down to a WAV file.

Can you draw in volume changes directly on regions in the arrange window in 4.8? If so, can it be done on both MIDI and audio tracks, and how do you do it?

Thanks
Gary

How do you master a CD to take to the radio so it can be played.. How do keep the volume of a CD the same level as the rest of them.. I have been having this problem for quite some time...

I recently mastered a project that a guy recorded at home in Cubase and he said he wanted it the level raised but not totally slammed. I ran it through an analog path for EQ and a little compression and did the limiting with L1. However I hit it he wasn't all that happy with the result and said it sounded smooshed.

Ok I'm not looking for RHCP volume or anything but my mixes are ridiculously low in volume, even when I compress and limit like crazy. If the new weezer is on 3 then I have to turn up to about 8 for the same volume on my stereo. Someone have any advice for limiting and compression? I have the Wavesc4 multiband and the maxI'm limiter from digidesign.

Hi everyone...
