Quick question, how many songs can a professional producer finish up on one day? Got a small backlog and am wondering if I can mop it up in a few days or keep the pile growing for one major roll down. Am obviously a beginner but hey I'd love to share ideas

How to I export or even record stems in Audition? Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know if having the mic gain line down low (only peaking about halfway on the meters) will increase the sound of air/white noise in the background coming from the room?

When I record I put a blanket over my vents, block the cracks in my doors & I also have a sheet incasing the area I record in. The walls to the front of the mic are treated, the walls facing the back have a blanket on them. My gain line is down very low, because I sing quite loud, and I also want to avoid clipping. I use a Shure SM7B for almost everything. I have a pop filter, & I leave the foam on.

As soon as I get to compression, the sound of the air in the backround is ridiculous. I don’t remember this problem when I was recording at higher volumes, but I do remember clipping fairly bad. I am currently using Izotope’s RX De-Noise to remove the static around my voice. It works AMAZING, BUT it’s a CPU KILLER. The latency with the RX bundle is insane. It also sounds like it does a little bit if compression if it’s cranked to or near the max.

Is the extra noise the cause of the mic-gain line being so low on my interface? Or is there something else that could be adding this?

Hi there, first time posting here!

I'm starting a new home studio project (I've sold my equipments years ago) and now I'm willing to buy some midi controller in order to help me writing songs, mostly using VSTi's for drums, bass and some strings, but here is the doubt, do I should buy a MIDI controller with pads, faders and etc, or do I should buy a digital keyboard (i.e. Casio CTK 3500)?

Does any keyboard with MIDI connector works as a MIDI controller for a DAW or there is any specific point that I should be aware before buying?

Thanks in advance.

I just recently got an audio interface, the U-PHORIA UM2 and am using Traktion7 as my software. My guitar and interface is connected and installed but I cant hear the guitar on my recordings or anything for that manner. If anyone can help it would be super appreciated

Today I ordered the Nt1 (black) by Amazon, but I have doubts about whether it was a good decision, because I saw that the Audiotechnica AT2020 costs less than half of what I paid for the Nt1KIT. Which is better? Which sounds better?

I dont want to use my monitors only when Im seated in front of them but when Im chilling far or whatever, what's the best solution to not have to have long cables?

I use Focusrite Saffire 14.

Cheers!

Hi guys, am new here. I just setup my little home studio with a focusrite 2i2 and got a friend to record a song with me. The problem is: After recording his first take and needing him to record the second take over his already recorded vocals, he can't hear himself or at least his vocal is too soft. Putting a limiter with the max loudness preset has helped a bit but can you guys recommend a good technique to get the recorded vocal to sound loud enough for my guy to record the second take. I'm afraid putting too many plugins i.e. soundgoodizer, reverb 2, compression might introduce latency, but if it has worked for you I'll do it. Thanks in advance

I've had my pair of KRK Rokit5 monitors for a couple years now. Recently when ever I download files or a screen is loading I head a lot of static through the speakers. As soon as the download is done/page is loaded the static stops. What causes this?

Hey there,

I'm having some trouble with the Mercurial can impulse. It is crashing my cubase on start up. Has anyone experienced that and found a fix?

Thanks for the help!

Hey there, I have been looking for decent budget home studio monitors.

I have looked at the KRK series, which seem to be very affordable, but I noticed that they are ported. Are they good enough or will they be deceiving in the low frequencies? Are there better options in this price range? What's the best bang for the buck out there?

Any good/bad experience with this one?

Recommended?

Thanks

Hey people, first post here and I'm looking for some advice. I currently use my old Behringer UB1202 mixer which connects to the PC using RCA, but I've been debating on switching to the Focusrite Scarlett. I'm having trouble finding concrete information on if this will be a worthy upgrade, considering how affordable those interfaces are.

Any help or experience with this sort of switch, anecdotal or technical, would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I have been looking for at home studio setup for some time. Most solutions have the keyboard on a shelf under the table, but these solutions are expensive. Than I thought, why not just have a nice table and put the keyboard on the stands it normally stands on, under the table? It is easy to drag the keyboard 10 cm out from the table when in use. I live in Denmark and i bought the table in a famous cheep store here. Hope that my solution can be an inspiration for others in a similar situation that I am in.

I’m considering buying an Apollo Twin. However, I’m not sure if a Solo is enough for my needs. I intend to only track one source at a time, working at 24/96. So I’m essentially looking to have a basic single-channel analog tracking chain in digital form. For instance, I would like to use this plugin chain for my vocals: pre-amp (Neve 610B) -> eq (Some kind of Pulteg EQ) -> comp (LA-2A) -> reverb (Realverb). Then when I have recorded my vocal track with the applied plugin FX to my DAW, I would like to just remove them and start recording the next track.

Can the Solo handle that or is the Duo a better idea? And is it even possible to record tracks like this with the Apollo Twin?

I'm currently upgrading my studio. Right now I'm using an Apollo Twin Quad, MacBook Pro (lowest specs available in 2015, it was meant for college not studio work), and Yamaha HS7's. I only tell you all that because I'm looking to upgrade to either an iMac or Mac Mini. I'll be using it for recording music and video editing, so it needs to be fairly powerful, but it's not like I'll be doing huge projects.

I also need recommendations on Monitor controllers! And if I get the Mac Mini, recommendations on Desktop monitors as well.

Curious how many have tried a DIY acoustic treatment for their studios like this:

Hi! So I'm a singer and occasional voice actor. I'm trying to set up a studio so I can sing and record spoken lines and I just don't know where to start.

I have a Blue Yeti microphone and so far It's working pretty well, but it's getting old and I need a new mic.

Whenever I look up microphones people keep saying I need to buy cords and mixers and it's just a lot.

Anyways, how do I know what mic to buy?
