    Saffire pro 40 repair

    My interface decided to stop connecting to firewire yesterday. It's not a problem with my mac or pc it's the unit itself. It powers up just won't connect, I was wondering if anyone would know what component failure would cause this? I bought it used so no warranties and I really don't want to...

    Recording Vocals into Cubase

    When In Cubase hit F4 this will prompt a new window that has tabs labeled "input" and "output". You have the inputs selected correctly as you have recorded audio thus meaning it must be your output. For example I run a Delta 1010 soundcard, so I must change my output settings to my monitors...

    Ezdrummer midi files can be used within SSD 4 Platinum right?... Needing some help.

    I have both, ezdrummer and SSD, and I was wanting to add the ezdrummer beats to play within SSD but they don't want to show up. I understand I'll have to edit some mapping and what not but would anyone know why they won't appear in SSD? Ezdrummer has fills that I favor over SSD which is why I'd...

    Vintage Shure 55SW the good, the bad, and in between?

    There's a guy who is closing his store due to retirement and he is selling the Shure 55SW (original) and wants $150. It's in very good condition, but I'm uneasy about the price. What do you guys think, is it worth it? I understand that is has the odd 3 pin design, which I believe can be swapped...

    Since your replies have been so helpful, could anyone specify what these do? Also here's what the vocal wave looks like when it was clipping occasionally on the vocal take.

    Clipping sound card but no digital distortion? I'm confused please someone eleobrate.

    How would -12 translate to the Maudio panel? I would assume 10 or so? Haha this makes me feel like a fool :facepalm: nice, simple suggestion!

    Clipping sound card but no digital distortion? I'm confused please someone eleobrate.

    Hey guys, I have a Delta 1010lt in which I really do enjoy but I would like to know why my maudio sound panel shows my input clipping every once in awhile but produces no digital distortion in my DAW? I've been recording vocals and occasionally I'll see it clip in the maudio panel but my DAW...

    Subwoofer works for awhile then stops... any reasons why?

    Hey guys, I've been trying to find a solution to this problem but to no avail. I have an Ikey M-10Sv2 active sub and it sounds nice when it works, but I've been wondering why it would stop working for a few minutes then come back on? Perhaps overheating but I'm not pushing it hard at all. I've...

    Midi mapping in Cubase 6, needing to get a better explanation on creating drum fill

    I'm a proud owner of Cubase 6, dongle in all :D Anyhow I program my drums and easily make beats but I was wondering how to make drum fills? I see that there are 1/32, 1/64, 1/128 triplets which seems appropriate to use for the fills I'm after, however when I select those options the grid doesn't...

    Is it necessary to double track your guitar if you're micing your amp?

    I've been experimenting a bit with micing my setup rather then using sims. I must say the sound, to me anyways, is more realistic in a sense. I'll just get to the point, is double tracking something you should do if you're micing or will the sound be BIG enough with one track in the mix? Also...

    DI Box and bass guitar buzz

    So when I record with my bass or acoustic through my DI box I get this buzz. Here's the thing, I've noticed that when I keep my fingers on my bass strings it stops, same happens when I actually touch the input on my acoustic. I've read some things online about how the actual person holding the...

    What to record 1st?

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, but have known about it for a very long time. Glad to be apart of it finally! I was just wondering if it was necessary to record drum tracks 1st? I know most people record this way, but I'm not most people. I guess I view it differently because I'm the one who...
