running pro tools 7.1 with an mbox2 pro, The monitor knob on the mbox no longer changes the output to the speakers. the faders/volume controls still work in pro tools though. thoughts? thanks.

running PT 7 with an Mbox 2 pro. Every time I launch pro tools, I have to close it out and restart my computer to get sound. it kills all sound, even windows media player, reason, soundforge..everything. no sound will come from my computer until I restart it. anybody know why this is...

hola. Running PT 7.4 with an Mbox 2 Pro. that drum program BFD Lite came with it. I was trying to use it as a plug-in. It worked, I was able to record it, but every time I hit play on the PT transport it plays 2 bars of some random pattern. It doesn't matter where I start playing the PT session...

I'm buying a Motif rack. I don't have a rack, but this is the only rack-mountable piece of gear I own and the only one for some time. I don't really like the idea of just leaving the thing on the table. any clever solutions? I found a 3 unit rack, which i suppose would work alright but it's $$...

I recognize some of the names here. been a minute. I've exhausted everything I've learned since starting this home recording thing (which aint much, ha). I own a lot more and a lot better equipment now, so I imagine I'll be back around here quite a bit trying to really understand wtf im doing in...

Haven't been around these parts in a while. hello again to people I never knew. I'm starting to suspect I don't know what i'm doing. heres what i'm doing.. I'm running protools with an Mbox 2 Pro. Anything I record, is going into a mixer (little Tapco. upgrading soon) and then from the mixer...

I've always used the factory drum sounds in Reason. and am really tired of them. I got a neptunes drum kit a while back, it had some decent sounds, but some of them I recognized directly from reason. so It wasn't a very legit kit. I also started using vynil breaks recently, and am going to...

I recently bought some new equipment, including a new studio computer. and it seems I may have lost the Pro Tools CD. I have the version for Mac OSX, but im running a PC... If I can't find it, and it turns out I did make the shame worthy mistake of losing it, can I call them and have them send...

I have this coming in the mail... im geeked. trying to slowly phase Reason out. want hardware and outboard gear.

Im working on an instrumental album. I plan to incorperate vocals in weird ways.. One idea im playing with, is recording vocals, and then thru effects automation etc... finding a way to transform the vocals into a synth type sound, which will perform a melody, and then break back down into...

Anyone here ever gotten tv placement for their music? how'd you go about doing it? how'd it work out? Theres a few channels, that I catch playing beats similar to the shit i make during their shows. (discovery channel etc...) any info on how I would go about trying to get those stations to...

I'm upgrading my studio, and was thinking of buying one of these, however.. I've heard they're over-rated, and don't have the bang for the buck. Wanted to hear opinions from people who own, or have used them. If there are better preamps, in the same ball park price wise, as the Avalon M5, i'd...

Im one emcee in a two man group. We just finished our first project. A 9 song EP titled "How to kill shadows". Im pretty geeked about it. It's being mastered right now, and were getting it pressed on Monday. Have a big release party booked and ready to go. It's a good feeling, I've made a lot...
