My friend and I have between us, a Miktek MK300 condenser, an SM57, and an SM58. We record acoustic guitars as well as mic electric guitar amps. I'm wondering what might be a good buy going forward. We mainly use the Miktek MK300 for lead vocals, and acoustic guitar, mandolin, etc. Any ideas are...

I can't seem to find out if you need to be on a label to join Bandcamp. Do a lot of people use Bandcamp? My friend and I have over 60 songs we would like to sell, or get paid for downloads. Any thoughts?

Hi all! I used to have an Alesis SR16, and I found it difficult to program. Is there an option out there for a drum machine that is a little easier to program? Money isn't an option, but I'd like to keep it at $500 USD or less. Thanks!

Hey all. I used to have a Focusrite 4i4 interface and then sold it eventually. Now I am picking up another one. Will it install drivers ok when I plug the new one in, or will I have to uninstall something first in order to use the new 4i4? Thanks in advance. I have Windows 11 by the way.

I have a Behringer Q1204 USB connected to my laptop via the included USB cable, and am not sure how to enable the mixer to record into Reaper. Such as the USB/2-tr button. Should that be in or out. I'm missing something. I got it to work with the Scarlet, but if I take the interface out, and...

Can I use two 1/4" speaker cables in place of TRS cables, for the output of the drum module. I want to go from the drum module to my Focusrite Scarlet 4i4. Thanks!

Does Reaper have any guitar plugins/ amp models built in? If not, where can I find some good ones to try?

I am seriously considering buying some drums, instead of using my drum machine. If I bought say a 5-piece kit, how many mikes should I have? An overhead condenser, and 5 SM-57s do the trick? One for kick, one for snare, two for riding toms (one each), one for floor tom. Condenser for overhead...

I have come across several videos on You Tube that discuss checking mono vs stereo, to make sure the mix sounds good in both. In Reaper, how would I do such a thing? Would I toggle this button on and off?

I have some experience with Reaper, and I know right up front Ableton is not Reaper....that said, I have set up Ableton to use with my Scarlett 4i4 audio interface and am able to record. I thought I would start with my drum machine to test everything. I can hear audio AFTER I record, but not...

I changed the tempo on my song in Reaper to half speed, I can't find how to bring it back to the correct tempo. Help please ! And thank you.

I wrote a song but my partner in music hated it. So I'm keeping it for my own project now. lol I ended up rewriting it to be MUCH less angry.................. this was an exercise in anger restraint. Notice no anger in it? To Find A Reason Lyrics by Eric V.M. I wake up with a sickening...

Is it possible to render more than one song and burn the songs to CD all at once ? Or do I render each individual song to a CD RW ? Not sure how this works.

Not sure if this will take off at all, maybe like a lead balloon. In Reaper, where is the Keys on the computer (read computer) keyboard that plays back a track or loop? I keep having to push the little grey arrow in Reaper to make it play back. Is there a key(s) combo on the computer keyboard...

Two days ago I was panning mono tracks with no problem. The next time I went to work I noticed I couldn't pan any tracks at all. This is all in the same song. Is there some option I selected or deselected to make panning impossible? I tried taking FX off, to see if it got lost between two tracks...

Now I know NOTHING replaces experience, and I will have plenty of experience in time. I am very dedicated to learning. But are there some websites that you know of, and/or some books that you would recommend for learning the fundamentals of mixing? I know I could Google it, or browse Amazon, but...

I would like to connect my Yamaha DGX-230 which has a USB - type B connector to the Focusrite 4i4 which has MIDI IN and MIDI OUT connectors. Is there a cable out there somewhere that does that, or is there a MIDI hub that will do this?

Are there some good apps or plugins that do a good job simulating older synths such as an ARP Odyssey or a Prophet, an old Moog etc. I love the sounds of those old synths.
