Are all men's workspace that messy? Hubby desk is covered with all sorts as well, he just bought a new table last week to make an L shape workspace, I'm going to see how long it takes him to cover that with his stuff...

I would argue that my other half can be messier. Stuff just builds up and I don't find time to tidy, but I will attempt that this week.

So we're going to get to see a tidy studio and listen to some new songs next week? Look forward to it.

Some might just say it was messy. I should use some of this free time to tidy up a bit.

Congratulations on the setup and good luck. I feel you with the need to improve the set up. I'm working on the very basic camera/audio for my silly little youtube videos, but since starting the endeavour I find it all fascinating. And I also find myself researching so much more the technical things, which is also sort of fun.

I can't wait to see and hear your next phase of this! I feel like 2020 is going to be a good year for we Steemians, it's like we're all upping our games :)

There is so much to learn about audio. I just have to try and get the basics right. Getting a good recorded sound is key as you can play with it in the PC.

I have so many things I want to achieve and just getting started is the main thing. The years are going by so quickly.

You should check out some of the software from propellerhead. It is kind of expensive I think but they have some really good drum synth's if I remember right. It has been a while since I looked at it all actually. The one I used to use was called Rebirth, but I think they had a product called HammerHead too.

Some of that stuff is not available on Linux, but I have some synth and drum apps. I decided to play my own drums on this. I prefer real instruments where possible.

Cool good luck with the recording and mixing/mastering - the mixing and mastering process is really where a lot of the magic happens, a good original recording is important of course but the difference between a well mixed and mastered track and something more raw is pretty incredible at times. I am sure there will be a learning curve but it will be fun to follow along with you as you go! Cheers

Cheers. I got some ideas back from my friends. Just have to work out how to implement them. I think I have all the tools I need, but things like EQ and compression are tricky.

Just get adobe audition and you can remove room noise from recordings. My setup is similar to yours where the mic picks up reflections from the room. With audition there is no need for a proper room treatment.

Foam pads are really cheap to pick up from amazon though, if echo is the issue. :-) You could even use used egg-cartons like in the ooold days. And free vst plugins such as the Reaper ones also help a lot.

Yeah i tried it all as well from foam to vsts and every little bit helps, but without the noise print remover in audition there is always a lingering of the room noise. Also if an external noise accidentally happens you can remove specific noises ie a phone ring, or a car driving by or even a chair creak.
