Yo yo!

How's summer doing?? Anyways, this is an older Deep, raw, hypnotic track I made some time ago.

The track has a touch of hardcore vibes. Itt's re due to be released @beatshdrecords458 with a nice remix from Guyel5-SA !

I hope you enjoy the vibe. Tell me if you like more the jam or released version ;)

Njoy!

Jam taken from my track on my release:

I've recently acquired a Hammond T412 and married it to my MIDI station with my Korg MIDI brain and Ewi 4000 and Yamaha MIDI controllers. I got the organ free and her deceased prior owner was named Velma, thus the organs name. Added the Turbo moniker with the MIDI addition. She is too much fun

This is my first Mpc. Switched after many years with Maschine. The learning curve wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Everything makes relative sense for the most part. Also shoutout to YouTube and ChatGPT. We’re so lucky dude lol.

What are you guys working on??

I have this issue and I can't seem to find where it's coming from. Whenever I sit down to play guitar, I get this high pitched noise that's ringing in the background and it's really annoying. I mainly play single coils and know of 60 cycle hum but it's not that. When I'm in humbucker position, it's gone.

I sit in front of my desk where I have two monitors, my PC, my Audient EVO4, my mic which is muted most of the time. Everything is plugged into a power strip which is plugged into a wall outlet. I tried several different power strips and they all have this kind of noise.

I play through HX Stomp XL with 1/4 cable going into an instrumental input in EVO4. HX Stomp has recently been in repair and I mentioned this issue, though it also happened without it when I plugged in directly and used plugins. I tried different guitars and cables, even without a guitar, if I touch the tip of a cable it produces this noise.

If I play through Stomp somewhere else in the apartment using headphones, there is no noise. I would assume it has to do with EMI since I have some lamps around me with smart bulbs and dimmers but I have this noise when they are all turned off and had it before when there were no lamps. Also saw a video that EVO's plastic shell can be problematic because it doesn't isolate from EMI but I'm not sure that's my case. I'm going insane with this noise, just want to play guitar and have fun. Does anyone know how to get rid of it???

Hi all, I'm new to Reddit and wanted to share my home studio.

Please excuse my awful cable management behind the desk!

If you're interested in a full tour, I made a short video too - Watch on YouTube

Thanks for having me!

Noob setting up a sound lab. So far I'm learning how to use soft synths and record. Mainly a guitar player for years I ignored doing this with any seriousness. No think this is a fairly inexpensive way to start.

I'm thinking hydrasynth for its depth of sounds but worry that it's too complex for a beginner.

Anything else come to mind? Not terribly into vintage mono synths as they are aplenty in the vst world

My plan is to use analog guitar with synths. Not necessarily in a cohesive way

Once paint-ready, interior dimensions will be:

27’ length x 23’ width x 8’9” height.

See 2nd img for layout (has AI-suggested receptacles layout, likely not reliable)

I’m trying to determine the best electrical design so I can confidently hire the right electrician to do this best for recording studio use case.

I know studio electricity needs will be higher than existing garage needs. Just not sure how much and what that implies, given existing build and layout.

There’s an existing breaker panel that works great for normal garage needs (see pics). Can I use existing? If not, what is best to replace with?

Additional notes: I bought an 18k BTU mini-split that will be installed after finalizing electrical. Want to future proof this in case even more electrical needs go up. Would like it to be to code, as added square footage. That being said, I’m thinking I’ll keep existing insulated garage door for now. Then hear how that sounds proofed/treated that way. Then go from there if/when we need to remove garage door.

Any help is much much appreciated! Got 2 baby daughters and I need a safe music haven for sanity lol.

TL;DR Turning garage into studio. Have opportunity to update electrical. Want to do this right the 1st time 🙏🏼💙🤘🏼.

I sit at the intersection of fully digital and old school recording artist. This helps me get the most out of a small home studio. The pictures show my current setup.

Actually playing the instruments is important to me, but sometimes it's impractical. I sold the drum set a few years ago and use loops and samples now for most percussion. But of course I shake the tambourine and maracas as needed.

I love how having everything already set up makes it easy to capture musical ideas when they arise. There's nothing that stops the music flow more than an instrument in the closet. Of course I keep a few of my lesser used instruments in the closet and make sure the keys and guitars are always at hand.

The best part of digital is how easy it is to collaborate with people anywhere in the world. These online communities have made it possible for me to record tunes with people all across North America, Europe, and over in Japan. My younger self would never have believed that.

This is my fifth home studio. I have had everything from a four-track, to a full band room with drums, amps and Conn organ; to my current setup that's very lean but powerful.

I record under a few names, Doctor Coffee, B3ND3R, Famous Coffee, and The Latenighters are the most recent.

Tell me why you love your home studio or how it has evolved over the years. Share pics if you can.

So my weekend cleaning turned into a week long cleaning lol.

Pic two is how it was before, from my last post. Pic one is how far I got. Everything that I use, all my outboard gear, interfaces, etc, is connected. I ordered a cable sleeve cover that will go over the bundle but I am quite pleased with the progress. Now I have to test and make sure all my routing is correct and accurate. Last time, I got all but one off. Hoping today I get it perfect!

UPDATE: Just finished testing all my routing. EVERYTHING WAS ROUTED CORRECTLY!! I did however have a few loose cables that I had to put in all the way. But they were in the correct jack!

Hi all, I've put together a little video testing clean and driven tones through my vintage Fender Bassman 50 amp using all 4 of my electric guitars. No pedals or post production, just the raw audio through a Beyerdynamic M160 ribbon mic through a Warm Audio 273 mic pre.

The amp settings for clean and driven remain the same so you can really hear the difference in the guitars! Which guitar is your favourite? https://youtu.be/TjZCsDuO4YI
