I Got A Way Cheaper Studio. It Sounds Good.

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@PrettyPisces98 Where can we hear something you've done? And what do you have in your studio? People love hearing cheap alternatives!

[iAmRyet]

What exactly are the monitors used for? I still haven't really found them necessary

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@iAmRyet The purpose of monitors is to give you a high quality, yet FLAT response to mix on. That way when you take your mix out to your car, or play it through your stereo you get a similar sound.

Consumer level speakers are heavily colored and NOT good for mixing. Most consumer speakers are "bass heavy" so if you mix on them and then take it to another sound source you will find that there is a LACK of bass in the mix. Monitors are an essential part of any recording studio.

Hey Lewin, can the Samson CO1U be placed in front of a high gain, tube amplifier (for electric guitar) and get a semi decent quality sound, at least for demo recordings? Thanks heaps! :D

[GaragebandandBeyond]

@VampolkaXL HIgh gain yes, high volume... I'd be careful, but yes you could use it for that. Keep it a little farther away than a SM57 and keep the master volume on the amp at a decent level.

i use audition & nuendo.

used to use Roland e-09 & nw Roland Juno Gi.

whn i wanted to make my little home studio, i dint get any studio monitors, so i'm using my homemade Sony x-plod + tweeters speaker. still sounds good, hi-mid-low frequencies. bt nw willing to get a gud proffesional monitors.

If you have the samson mic how can you hook it to a mixer?

I Personally Love Fl Studio

[gibsonrobb]

Mixcraft 5 is really really good for PC!!!

[DiamondDimebagDarrel]

@GaragebandandBeyond I don't have a "studio" and it sounds good... and i would love to give further informations... and there is a sample of mine music...although, since i use (i only have) dynamic mic i can't record acoustic guitar to sound proffesional...

[mrsamerrygold18]

can i use iphone headphones on my computer as i have no money to spend?

[mrsamerrygold18]

How can i make beats on the garageband app on my iphone 4? (RAP BEATS) And i want a cheap studio so i can record of my windows computer any ideas?

[mixband]

your thoughts on the TASCAM US-144 interface as well as mixing on SAMSON Studio Dock USB monitors .. I'm having the toughest time getting a good Final Mix .. what I hear sounds much different once I burn to a disk or export to an ipod and play it in the car

that's my system

imac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

GarageBand

SAMSON StudioDock USB Monitors

TASCAM US-144

MXI V63M - mic

Roland TD-4 V drums

you get the idea ..
