Hi!! I stumbled across some free ear training games. So far, I'm impressed. Maybe this can be useful for others too. Audiodrillz

What’s the best approach (in your experience) to mic placement to help reduce plosives and sibilance when recording vocals? I recently saw @Caleb Loveless mention in a Start to Finish Studio Session that hanging a microphone upside down can help tame sibilant vocals. I’d love to understand more about how that works. Would positioning the mic this way also help with plosives? I’m really trying to get things right at the source so I can minimise editing and plugin work later. I’ve been working on a track that calls for a softer, sometimes whispery vocal delivery. Because I’m singing closer to the mic, plosives have become much more noticeable. I’m recording with a Rode NT1-A in a DIY-treated room (thick blankets, duvets, mattresses, etc.). Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all, is there a way I can tell what level/VIP-or-not of membership I have? I know I signed up for one or the other, I just can't remember which! I looked on my profile and didn't see anything there that would indicate it.

Hey everyone! Is this common that you have to renew and pay for plug ins you have purchased from different providers? I’ve attached a photo of the Paz Analyser that we bought as part of Prod 101.

Hi everyone. Sometimes it can be difficult to finish a song, so I wanted to ask how you usually start recording one. 1. Do you begin with a simple piano arrangement, record the best vocal takes you can, and then build the instrumental arrangement around them? 2. Do you write and arrange the entire song first, and only then record the vocals? 3. Do you start by recording the elements that matter most and define the vibe of the song, and then add other elements that give it color? What is your personal workflow?
