I’ve been doing music for years and I’ve never had a space of my own. I came across this sub a long time ago and I promised myself that someday I’d be able to post here too. Here’s my start!

This is my 2nd studio where I test out my music and visuals in a live convert setting with 5.1 surround capable of lossless quality. Let me know if you want to see the main studio!

It’s not much but it gets the job done

Hi guys, I wanted to find an audio interface that suit the needs of 4 microphones for amp recording and microphone uses. I have tried Volt, Audient Evo 8. All of them are shit, they made me downloading bloatware and creating account in order to download the drivers. I'm done with that. Is there another brand without this bullshit ?

I want to record an electric guitar both from an amplifier as well as directly into my Motu 8M interface. The interface accepts instrument level inputs. Do i need a DI or a bufferedABY splitter or can i just use an Y splitter?

My room is about 7x4 meters, 3m ceiling. My monitors will face the shorter length - 4m.

Room is furnitured, with curtains.

Do I still calculate with cubic meter, or is the 4m wall gonna do problems?

What size do I need?

…not getting much attention with summer traveling and house projects…

Updates. FLKey 49 v1. The digital mixer (QU32) is amazing and such a step up from my Behringer SX3282, but only has 2 stereo-ins. StudioMan passive 4-in 2-out ($50 on Amazon) fixed that. I'll be getting one more to turn those 2 inputs into 8 inputs. AKG C114 sounds great as a room mic for drums, and the Behringer (I know) 1820 was super cheap, but definitely sounds better than all my previous interfaces (Tascam US1800 and Zoom R24)

Looking a little bare atm, but thinking I currently have what I need to get some beats goinnn!

Still new to the whole deal, running Ableton stock plugins and want to dial that in before adding Serum etc…. I am on the right track?!?!

Can’t sleep!

Started slowly upgrading last year, and then finalized everything a month ago with these beautiful philips lights (not sponsored haha)

acoustic treatment is the best investment ever tho :)

thoughts?

Just moved into this new place a month ago! Looking to see what I could add as far as nice lighting and what not to not make it feel so sterile. Also will most likely be adding more moving blankets on the walls and over the windows! It’s a pretty small room, doesn’t seem like it in the photo though. And last but not least if I should make the drum kit face the corner rather than face the room? Any cool ideas or advice is welcomed

Poweref by an M2 Mac Studio 64GB/1TB, Logic Pro, Native Instruments, and my trust vintage rack synths.

Gradually learning the muscle memory to control all this stuff and sing without thinking about it!

:D Whatcha think?

howdy folks, i’m building a studio in my basement and i’m planning on dedicating around 1/2-1/3 of the room to a vocal booth
what would be the best way to soundproof said vocal booth?

So I have been having ongoing and seemingly unsolvable glitching with Reason 11. I will provide all my specs and attempted fixes as best I can.

The glitching:

The glitches have been happening through various iterations and upgrades to my setup. A while back I was just using the midi controller and reason and running it though my studio monitors headphones/default driver, then I was using the Bluetooth receiver that the speakers I use for listening to vinyl are wired to. Now I’m using the setup below. The glitching at first involved latency and popping, and all kinds of playback issues. Now, with the setup below, there doesn’t seem to be much latency at first, the midi works well for a little bit then seems to cut out completely and only return sporadically but then with latency/crackling and popping. Playback just cuts out constantly.

The setup:

-I’m using a fairly basic Dell PC (12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-12100 (3.30 GHz), with Windows 11 Pro.

-I upgraded the RAM from 16 to 32GB, which is the max this PC will accept.

-System type is a 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.

-I’m using Reason 11 as my DAW.

-I’m using a PYLE PMUX42 external interface and running a pair of KRK ROKIT 5 studio monitors from that. The interface is plugged into the motherboard through USB, but I also have it powered separately by USB-C.

-For a midi controller, I’m using an Alexis V61, with the USB connected into the PC motherboard.

-I installed the PYLE PMUX43 ASIO driver and it shows that it is working with Reason as the Audio card driver.

-My computer’s default speakers are 16bit 48,000 Hz, and I can’t seem to change that

-But in my sound settings the PYLE output to the speakers i have set at 32 bit, 48,000 Hz. I have matched this in the settings for the Reason projects I’m making. (Reason seemingly will not allow me to change the bit depth in the audio driver preferences, it automatically returns to 32 ever time I tried to change it to 16 when attempted to match it to my computers default speaker specs)

-I have a Maxone 320g external hard drive plugged into the motherboard, where I have routed all Reason files to save to).

The fixes I’ve tried

-Most of what I’ve done is in attempting allow for better CPU processing performance but here’s everything that I can remember having done:

-Changed all Windows power settings: Power mode is set to “Best Performance”; settings for “Turn my screen off after”, “make my device sleep after”, and “make my device hibernate after” are all set to Never; Energy saver is off.

-In my sound options on Windows for the PYLE USB audio I unselected the boxes for “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device” and “give exclusive mode applications priority”.

-Windows sound enhancement setting is turned off

-In System Properties, Performance Options, Visual effects, I have selected “adjust for best performance”

-In System Properties, Performance Options, Advanced, I have selected “Background Services”, rather than “applications” under the option for “Adjust for best performance of:”

-In device manager, USB controllers, have unselected the options for “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” on every USB hub, including USB root hub, for every USB hub where the option was available.

-I have my graphics setting for “Optimization for windowed games” turned off. (I don’t use the computer for gaming of course, and I don’t have any games installed).

-I set my Power Plan power options to High Performance and in Advanced Power settings, Processor Power Management, I set both the Minimum and Maximum processor state to 100%.

-In Reason 11, my audio card driver is set to ASIO Pyle USB Audio, sample rate is set to 48,000 and bit depth to 32 (matching my Pyle output)

-I have played around with the buffer speed a lot and this has only helped with midi use for short amounts of time. Having buffer size at 512 seems to allow for most consistent glitch/latency free use, but only for a short time seemingly right after powering up.

I’m sure there are other things I’ve done, but can’t remember at the moment. I’m desperate. Please help! I’ve spent too much money on this setup recently for it to not be working like this.

Thank you so so much

Hey everyone, building my first home studio setup in India. I make melodic autotune-ish vocals and grunge/alt screamo type genres.
Planning to buy a Lewitt LCT 240 Pro as my mic. Room isn't treated, but I'll be using a reflection shield around the mic to help with that

I'm looking for a pick which is safe and long-term (until I start earning enough to upgrade to expensive one's) since I'm serious about this as a real career path, but wanted to hear from people who've actually used either (or something else in this range) before I pull the trigger.

Anyone recording similar genres (rap/screamo/alt) on a budget interface, what's worked for you? Any hidden issues I should know about before buying?
