recording

I'm using M-Audio Hammer 88 controller, Focusrite 2i2 (latest one), studio monitors. When I'm messing around in Logic I can hear sound from my monitors when I'm using Albion Neo, Cineharp, etc... but when I record it nothing. When I record it I see everything I'm playing on the screen but when I...

Hey all, I've posted another mix walkthrough, this time on a cue from Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard that I recorded and mixed. Enjoy!

Hello everyone. I thought about having a thread to share and collect knowledge, tips and tricks for upright piano recording. Not meaning I will be the moderator nor “professor”, Im a newbie to recording and trying to learn by doing and reading, Youtube etc. Here are some audio files and...

I want to make a high-quality playable library for a stringed instrument. It doesn't not have to feature heavy, but would like to play high quality melodies and strummed chords. Currently, my asset list for recording consists of: - All notes (in this case, 42 notes), at 3 different velocities...

Just got some good studio monitors and Sennheiser HD 400 Pros so I figured I should get an audio interface... right? Do I actually need one? I'm just producing with virtual instruments, so really the sound isn't leaving my computer except to go to my monitors... but every one I've seen uses one...

Can I automate my recording process through for instance a midi note? I would like to automatically record several clips on one track while each clip will be different because of a midi note that is changing. So, I can't use loop recording to create playlists, because that way I would have the...

I'm having trouble finding this option. Can anyone point me to it?

We are very excited to announce the launch of our new service for producing orchestral stems. Our method is similar to conventional hybrid stem production (musician + ‘mock-up’), except you don’t need to spend hours manually adding expression. Instead, our intelligent software captures the...

Hello Everyone, I'm a composer who is learning how to score for media. I've been in studios a lot in the past, but as a performer and not at all on the tech side. I recently got Logic Pro X and a Mac Mini M1. For now will be using free sample libraries like LABS, etc. I had an issue...

Hi there, As the title says, I'm curious to hear your experiences of this. Thanks, Fab

I've made a video about how to record hardware synths using Ableton Live's magical "External Instrument" device.

Hi all, hope everyone's well! I want to start recording the instruments in my home studio (namely violin, viola, cello, acoustic guitar and acoustic upright piano) for potential library tracks. I'm pretty inexperienced in home recording but want to get the best quality production I can. I've...

(I had a hard time choosing which sub forum to post this in, it's about gear and workflow, but I think mainly gear) TLDR I'm looking to put together my first dedicated (literally, tiny!) music production space. It will mostly be focused on composition, arrangement, recording and mixing...

I'm searching for simple, long room tone recordings to lay under my orchestral tracks for quite moments. Nothing too fancy. Ideas where to find something like that? Thank you!

This might be a silly question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Hope this question fits this section, didn't know where else to ask it. Have you recorded with your phone mic? I mean I'm currently not able to access my DAW and stuff. Let's say the only gear available is my laptop (that's not...

So this is where the yellow brick road has led me... I am in my young 20’s, am lured in by the nostalgia that wafts from the memories of the roaring 20’s, Madagascar, ancient Egypt, and Tibetan mountains home to zen monasteries, I live in Colorado USA, I am fascinated with eastern culture and...

Composed and orchestrated this short piece with the goal of having it recorded with an orchestra. Just recorded it with a 56 piece ensemble via "Musiversal" (aka: 99 dollar orchestra) I think it turned out decently, though there are many intonation issues in the high registers. But, you get...

I know nothing about mixing and am trying to find resources to teach me how to record better and finally learn how to start mixing tracks. But I have a general question. Most VST synth patches are enhanced with internal effects built into the synth that give the patches their...

Hello, I do not know if someone has already asked, but since I should record an acoustic guitar I wanted to know if any of you have ever tried to use the SM58 without the capsule above (that unscrewing it can be disassembled.) Honestly, I'm a little afraid that using the microphone without the...

I just want to share with you my orchestral Reel with Recordings in New Zealand with the NZSO and the Park Road production Team, and also in Skopje Macedonia. I've learned a lot in this forum and It's a pleasure to show you what I do.

What would you suggest how to record a harp in a home studio environment for a solo production? Pickups seem to not work well (sound tends to get muddy), and I wonder if a pair of dedicated stereo microphones would be best, or separate ones? What would you recommend for placement and how to...

Hi Everyone, Wondering if anyone has any advice for keeping the noise floor on recordings low when sampling. Specially if you have loads of mics I've noticed noise can build up. Thanks! Jimmy

Hi all, Curious which reference tracks you guys (media/film composers) use when mixing your own work. I know these threads do exist in forums like Sound on Sound and Gearslutz, but it's less spoken about in orchestral or other soundtrack genres. I really liked the mixing and recording of...

A fair number of people on this forum have built studios for composing and recording. I'd love to hear from some of you about those things that you included in your studio builds that :thumbsup: have proven very helpful to your workflow, :thumbsup: you didn't think you'd use, but are now happy...

This seems like it'll be a useful resource for those here who want to learn a bit more about orchestration, and hear how it practically works. Vlad has written specific examples to demonstrate the techniques and arrangements he talks about, which have all been recorded by a real orchestra for...

Hi guys, last year, I had the great pleasure to conduct the LSO during the recording of "L'Hypothèse de la Reine Rouge" at Abbey Road Studios. A wonderful experience with this legendary orchestra and with the great Simon Rhodes who recorded it.

Hi! When recording MIDI Strings and Winds we end up with a performance that have lots of modulation. I often want to quantize this performance, resulting in the MIDI notes being on the grid but the modulation left unaffected (see attached picture). How do you guys go about this procedure? Is...

Is anyone here running a large template in Pro Tools for composing and mixing? That is to say, in addition to instruments and midi, do you have a fair amount of processing, plugins, bussing, etc going on? I'm guessing VEP is essential to making this happen. I'm just wondering if, through your...

Interested to hear any thoughts on this - mix, arrangement, recording etc. I'm still very much a rookie. Live violin live acoustic Una Corda Tina Guo Albion One & Una Corda stuff for ambience + reverbs and reversed reverb tails

Someone posting in another section asked for details on recording solo instruments. I gave his some advice as a long time recording engineer and thought a thread on recording different types of live instruments might be helpful to some composers interested in adding live recordings to their...

We have a tempered glass shower door that makes a really cool deep bass "BoOoOoOoOoM" sound that lasts for about 3 seconds. I currently only have a Tascam DR-40 with only the built in mics. Trying to sample it with this I just end up with a "Thunk" sound that is only about 1/4 second long. So...
