    Fadeout? I didnt want one...

    I recently switched from ProTools LE to Sonar 7, and so far I love it. However I'm having a few problems getting used to the program. My current issue: I copied a piece of audio from a track and tried to paste it earlier in the song (on the same track) The pasted version comes with a diagonal...

    How can I make my cymbals decay faster?

    I have been setting up a drumset I plan to record a few tunes on. Everything sounds great, but the cymbals ring on forever (especially the ride). Is there any TEMPORARY remedy to this problem that won't damage the cymbal? If not, what can I do to my Overhead tracks to hide the ring? The...

    whishing and whooshing plugin?

    I'm to the point in my project where I'm throwing in some background effects. I have this sweet idea for a phaser'ed wind whoosing thing over an intro of one tune... do you guys know of any good plug-in's that generate such effects? I use ProTools LE, so RTAS is preferable.. but I can find a...

    Drum edits... noticeable?

    Recently, my friend and I recorded lots of drum takes for an EP we are working on. In order to get the best possible arrangement I had to fuse together different bars of different takes and different fills. (etc) The adjustments are not painfully obvious, but they are noticeable. My question...

    When I record a rhythm guitar track with a hard overdriven tone I would normally use live, the sound wave comes out looking like a big solid wall.. (not clipping, it just feels solid and lifeless) Any tips for getting great sounding overdriven/distorted that has some life to it? By the way...

My set up is: [Guitar] --> [Line 6 POD XT Live] --> [Fostex MR8] In my (overdriven) rythmn playing I use lots of 16th note lines with accents in weird spots, but when playing them back all...

    need MR8 advice: using "song" files

    I have a question for users of the product: Do you use one "song" as an actual song? or do you use a "song" to record a specific part or section. For example, I might try to use a "song" to record a Chorus or a verse and then later combine all the 'songs' on my computer. The reason I would go...
