Godaddy will be no help whatsoever, they're the definitive cheap and nasty webhost.
Use a Soundcloud embed. Anything else is far more hassle than it's worth. Soundcloud Pro is €29 a year, it's reliable, a doddle to set up and it confers the cachet of having done it "the right way".

Re: BBC Specialist Charts - Hyped or accurate?
I can't think of anything genuinely popular that has been completely missed by the BBC genre charts, but the actual rankings can't be any better than an informed guess. There are myriad problems with compiling charts these days, the most obvious being that sales are no longer representative of a ...

Re: "Silent" Mac Pro?
The Mac Pro isn't a particularly quiet machine by modern standards. The standard fans are small in diameter and relatively fast-revving, the hard drives aren't suspended in any way, the aluminium chassis is fairly resonant and there's a straight path for noise through those perforated end panels ...

Re: Neumann KH120 V Focal CMS65 Monitors
The Neumann KH120s are better than the old K&H O110s, but considerably cheaper. In what possible universe does that constitute "paying for the name"?

Re: Soundtrack percussion
Spitfire have been working with the man himself and are about to release Cinematic Percussion by Hans Zimmer . Heavyocity's 'Damage' includes plenty of suitable samples. If you're doing it yourself, I'd suggest layering several taiko, timpani and orchestral bass drum samples, possibly with a ...

Re: Waves Silver Dated?
They're perfectly fine plugins, but they're not markedly better than most bundled DAW plugins. The user interface of a lot of Waves products are decidedly old-fashioned looking, but they do the job. Waves periodically offer very large discounts on their entry-level bundles - I've seen Silver offered ...

Re: Neumann KH120 V Focal CMS65 Monitors
They're both fantastic monitors. The differences between them are slight and largely subjective, so our opinion isn't going to help you a lot - you really need to demo them. Some distributors and dealers offer a loan service on request and it's worth enquiring, but you can demo any kit you like at ...

Re: Studio isolation headphones for recording
NB. The 770Pro as recommended above is semi open-back. it's isolation figure is only 18dB so I don't think it's the horse for this particular course. There's a helpful FAQ on the Beyer website about the difference between the two and their intended applications. The 770 pro are effectively closed ...

Re: Studio isolation headphones for recording
DT770 pros. They're standard at the BBC, for good reason - they have all the virtues of the classic DT100 (comfort, ruggedness, ease of maintenance, isolation) with none of the vices. They're nearly accurate enough to mix on, but with enough isolation for tracking. The DT770M has more isolation than ...

Re: NI KA6 or Roland UA55?
KA6, easy. In terms of audio quality, latency performance and driver stability, it's competitive with interfaces costing twice as much.

Re: Self-promoting electronic music
I largely disagree with TheRedBladder. Most dance music isn't gigged - dance music has a completely different commercial infrastructure and there just isn't a useful performance circuit for unsigned acts. So how do people get to dance to dance music, if it is not being played anywhere? If I go to ...

Re: Why are we guitarists so conservative?
Marketing, plain and simple. A rational electric guitarist owns one guitar and a DSP unit. They understand that there is no magic to any part of the signal chain and that in blind tests, nobody can tell the difference between the sound of a '54 Les Paul and a £300 Tokai, or a vintage Mesa Boogie and ...

Re: Mackie MR5MK2 or Yamaha HS80M's?
So in regards to the flat response, how do the Yamaha's compare to the Mackies? It's completely and absolutely irrelevant. Studio monitors of even mediocre quality have significantly flatter frequency response than even a well treated domestic room. Both the Mackie and Yamaha monitors are flat ...

Re: Mackie MR5MK2 or Yamaha HS80M's?
There are an enormous number of ported nearfields available for that sort of money. The Yamaha HS80m is perfectly competent, but not outstanding. It's a bit better than what you've already got, but I wouldn't expect a tremendous difference and I think you'll find the upgrade to be relatively poor ...

Re: Mackie MR5MK2 or Yamaha HS80M's?
How well behaved is your room? 8" woofers are invariably bad news in a small room, as the extra energy is just going to worsen the inherent problems in the room - even more so if you like to monitor at high volumes. The Mackie MR5 is a perfectly competent budget monitor and I wouldn't expect to ...

Re: Audio Interface recommendation, prioritising output quality over inputs
The Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 could well have been MADE for you! I doubt you will better the converter quality under £250, certainly not the latency. You get two very good preamps as a bonus and four outputs...But the cherry on the cake is a nice big black knob on top to control those ...

Re: Genelec 8020b or Focal CMS40 ?
The Focals are subtly better in all sorts of ways. The most important for me is that they're less fatiguing than Genelecs while still being very revealing. The Genelec sound is very forward and something of an acquired taste. The Focals are front ported, which makes them much easier to place in a ...

Re: Sirius radio audio is getting too bad to listen to. What's up?
Right, so that is 82 KHz available per channel. See what I mean. So if they used 44.1 KHz source material from a CD they should have enough bandwidth to not compress much. You've misunderstood what's going on. 44.1 KHz is a typical sample rate for digital audio, but that's something entirely ...

Re: The "RIGHT" studio monitors????
The KRK VXTs are the best monitors on your list. Focal CMS 40s are within your budget, CMS 50s a bit over, both fantastic monitors. You could just about run to a pair of passive AE22s and a second-hand amp - the AE22s are superb and in the right hands will give a better mix than anything under a ...

TBH for a starter/novice I'd strongly advise them to ignore anything beyond the basic plugs included with their DAW.
