I am pondering of upgrading... Do you think this machine would be a good choice for what we are doing??? ARMOURY PC Intel Core i7-14700, 32GB DDR5, 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 11 Home

Last night, my band had a rehearsal and I wanted to record it with just 1 mic in the room. I set up the project correctly, placed the mic in a good spot, checked the level. Everything looked good. I hit the record button and we started going down the playlist. Then after the rehearsal I took a good ear break and then listened back and all I got was the batter head of the kick drum. Lol 🤣 Turns out that I had forgotten to repatch the room mic cable to the interface. Have any of you ever done this? I have decided to make myself a checklist and go through it step by step every time I record anything to prevent this problem from happening again in the future. What are your thoughts? Hope this helps. 🤠

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. 🤠

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.

Welcome to decision 2024– It’s Election Day in the United States! Music plays an important part in elections, such as at rallies and to introduce candidates to the voting public. Modern presidents have even shared their playlists and instrument skills! Mindful of our global community — this question is for everyone for whatever country in which you cast your ballot. Do you listen to anything in particular musicwise to pump you up to vote? Or on the other hand—perhaps something musical is calming or even a distraction? Maybe silence is your jam? Do you have any stories or traditions tying music and elections together? Please share thoughts, ideas, input and perspectives!
