I have a Soundcraft Spirit Folio F1 (16-channel) mixer that I use mainly for routing inputs. The main outputs which respond to the Master Mix faders (xlr) are starting to short. I'd say the right channel works about 60% of the time, and today, the left channel started to crackle. If you really...

Hello all, As you'll see in the photos, I have two separate desks on which I have my essential gear set up: one for the computer, monitor speakers, mixer, MIDI controller, etc; and the other for my turntables and dj mixer. I have the rack positioned between the desks, which puts it at the ideal...

Good day. I'm considering picking up Native Instruments' Kompakt sampler around the holidays, but while checking out the spec sheet, it says 'No' to 'Assignable external CCs (continuous controllers such as MIDI controllers, velocity, pitchbend…) per Group'. Does this mean I couldn't automate or...

Hi there- I'm interested in making the jump to Cubase for my sequencing purposes, in hopes that its quantitizing features will help me swing/groove my drum tracks better. But I'm not really sure whether my current problem is my own lack of knowledge, my currect sequencer, or the nature of...

Hello all. I'm interested in adding a spring reverb to my rack, but don't know where to start. I can't imagine too many manufacturers are still producing them in today's digital era, but Im wishing for my tracks to have the feel of those days gone by. I'm interested in Surf, Motown-esque...

Lately, when I switch performance mode on my Nord Rack 2- usually from program/layer to manual, the manual mode retains some of the character of the preset sounds. If I go from layer to manual, one of the slots from the layer will be entirely present, and if I go from program to manual, its...

I'm looking for a chromatic tuner for tuning various stringed instruments, as well as the occasional orchestral instruments. It looks like the price range goes from $20-$40 to a new level around $85. Obviously I'd like a more expensive model, but do the cheaper ones cut it? What's the biggest...

I've got several toy & cheap keyboards I'd like to sample for a quirky idea I've got. I'm a FruityLoops user, and have VSampler, which I think is rather hard to assign keys to, and DR-005, which is a designed for drums, but works as well. However, both of these take up alot of CPU. I have the...

I've got a brand new Audio-Technica 4040 LD condensor mic for sale. I bought the microphone a week ago for a audacious recording project that I've since put on the shelf. Everything is included and in absolute mint condition. The mic has only been out of its protective case for about 10...

I have a Beta-52 kick drum/bass instrument microphone for sale. Includes the original box, manuals, bag, and even a couple promotions. I bought the mic last summer to record one song for a drummer with two kick drums. It was only used for about 3 hours, and has no scratches or wear. I still...

I haven't recorded anything in a long time, and upon trying to record a couple guide tracks, I found all sorts of crackles and pops in my audio files. At first I thought it was a buffer issue, but I tried every combination of buffers in my soundcard and my apps, and I get the same results. I...

I've spent the last few months working on songwriting and preproduction (arranging, sequencing, etc) and honestly haven't touched the red record button in a long long time. (six months or more) So, this afternoon I try to test out some of my new tunes and I tried to lay down some basic guide...

I installed the CEP 2.1 update about a month ago over my 2.0 cd installation. Now its telling me my trial time is up, and I can't save or burn cds. Do I have to just uninstall and reinstall 2.0 from my cd and lose the benefits of 2.1?:( Thanks Chris

Hello Everyone: I have a 15'x13 1/2' bedroom studio (i.e. it actually has my bed and whatnot in it). The ceiling is lowered about a foot for about a forth of the way into the room (over the front wall) I use the room mostly for mixing, as well as recording acoustic guitar, auxiliary...
