What's the weirdest thing you've ever recorded? I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. Lol 🤣. Mine was flies buzzing around a dog turd. It was for background sound effects at a Halloween party.

Is there anyone making their own drum samples? I am making my own by recording the sound of each drum, each cymbal, each rim shot, hi hats open, closed, each shaker (I have lots of them), each cowbell, rattler, soon to be also a Cabasa, and all the notes on the glockenspiel as well as the double-row chimes. Once done with recording, I'll go through and do all the editing and all that other fun stuff that the samples need. This is gonna be a fun project to do. It's an 8 piece set of DW Concept Maple with all new Evans heads along with a 9 piece set of Zildjian Avedis cymbals and other various percussion instruments. Any suggestions on how to make dis happen? Should I bake in the panning information for each track or should I leave them in mono? What would you do? I'd love to hear your opinion. 🤠

Hey everyone - I'm currently in the process of mixing an EP for a local band, they're great musicians but sent me very limited takes of their guitars. I've got two rhythms & one lead to work with. To get a big "wall of sound" I'm trying a few different methods - copy/pasting from second chorus take to layer onto first chorus, etc. but I'm wondering... Do you have any go-to tricks to "thicken" guitars or build bigger stacks with limited takes? Trying to avoid phasing issues & also stay true to the artistic vision, but I'd love a bigger sound.

can you also vote on this form, so I can have a pie chart maybe to share results😎 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJCzLr7l8FkPiAvibjFXVwgfvu8lkHMwlh6WBuf8kXlLUv1Q/viewform

I was born in 1962 on Halloween at exactly 12 midnight on a U.S. Air Force base in Greenville South Carolina. My age and the year I was born coincide with each other. I am 62 born in 62!!
