Snooping around for deals and I got curious about other people's setups, what kind of music do you make and why is this piece of gear essential for you? I only have a scarlett and a few mics, I'm hoping to better prepare for the next couple months as I want to release my music this time for sure next year, and if you can would you link your music to give me an idea of what you're doing with the gear?

Looking for something for the kids and I to record on when we are jamming. Would like something relatively inexpensive (i know get what you pay for) and something that a non sound engineer can understand. Usually its 2 guitars and vocals or guitar and bass. Keys. Etc Thanks in advance

Hello so i want to record my band and a couple of tracks. im gonna have audio interface and mics. what program would you recommend (cheap or free is preffered)? and do you have any good learning resources that i could use? thanks!

I want to record some songs. Guitar, drum, bass. In 1993 I would have bought a ‘cheap’ cassette Tascam 4 track portastudio. What is the lo-fi, budget machine today?

Maybe it's me.... I'm playing with some of the Bloom series VSTs, like the Palette Objects but can't really make any musical sense from it. I get it - it's samples, loops, parts, patterns, sequencer....

Is it just me? I can't see using these in any type of song. They don't really fit into hip hop or electronic and they're not practical enough for indie, rock or pop.

Does anyone know of a site where I can easily create unique background music by selecting the genre, theme, and mood?

I'm trying to record audio on my iPhone via my PreSonus Studio 24c audio interface and keep my phone charged while doing so. I did it successfully with my old iPhone 11 Pro using an Apple Lightning to USB 3 adapter, but Apple's switch to USB C has thrown me for a loop.

What do I need to connect my audio interface to my USB C iPhone and charge it at the same time?

My band has slowly been creating a space to write and record music. The room is about 12 x 15. Looking for suggestions to improve the functionality, ambience, and, most importantly, the sound diffusing properties of the space. I am installing a few 2x4 acoustic panels somewhere on the along the walls soon. Any new ideas / discussion would be appreciated.

Was looking at getting two AOC - CU34G2XP 34" VA Curved monitors. Thing is, I never do any gaming, just recording with Cubase. I did have a Samsung monitor that looked great, but one shut down for no reason and never powered up again. It was crisp compared to my LG which always has a little odd blur to the graphics and drives me insane. Would the AOC be overkill for what I do? Do I need a TV monitor like this? Would a PC monitor be cheaper yet have the same crisp quality? Can I ask any more questions???

It's a Focus Workstation from the Mittzon line. I'm wondering if this might work as a voice booth. They've also got acoustic screens for existing desks. Probably a little expensive for some of you, but I'm curious if this is the kind of thing you'd find handy.

I record singer songwriter stuff via a Scarlett Solo with two audio inputs - one XLR and one 1/4 TRS. I have a Shure mic I like for capturing my voice that is plugged into the XLR. I’m looking for a recommendation for a decent mic for capturing acoustic guitar that I can plug into the TRS jack. Depending on the time of day I am recording, I deal with a fair amount of traffic noise, so having something with a unidirectional recording pattern is important. Thanks for the advice.

just got my Tascam DR 05 to record singing bowls. It's picking up the singing bowl sounds much better than the Rode microphone I have but when I listen to the recording there's still some low noise and static behind. How do I remove it in post or what settings would I have to use to improve the sound? https://youtu.be/aOJvzoFPP0Q

Thanks

I record using Logic Pro and find myself constantly going into settings to switch the output from my interface (headphones) to my studio monitors. Does anyone have a quicker & easier solve for this, or good recommendations for hardware to easily switch between the two?

I'm hoping for some advice.
My son is 10 going on 25... A naturally gifted musician and loves to play and tinker with some web based production tools.

I'd really like to find a relatively simple to use portable, digital multitrack recording / device.

Imagine the modern equivalent of the 4 track cassette recorders.

Something easy to use, maybe a few onboard effects and that sort of thing. the ability to plug into our computer would be a bonus but I'd prefer something that can run standalone would be ideal.

Bonus points for budget friendliness, simplicity of use and durability.

It didn't need to knock out studio albums or be perfect. Just something to give him the ability to start to learn some creative techniques and find his groove..

Many thanks!

i wanna ask for a mic for christmas. ideally one that’d work well for recording acoustic guitar, vocals, and be usable to perform live with but if it just records well, i’d be happy with that. basically the most versatile mic in the $80-$120 price range.

What would be the best USB mic for home recording?

I recently liquidated 95% of my studio gear to include my audio interface. I’m just not tracking any more, mostly mixing, sometimes recording my own drumkit. I really like what the Apollo x4 offers but the price tag is more than I want to spend on a small desktop interface. Can anyone recommend something of similar quality and specs for under $1k?
