    Making loops (not sure where to put this)

    I use a lot of samples for making my music, from others but I have gear to make my own samples. In particular I wanted to know how to make a kick drum loop from my jomox x base. I tried recording straight to my mixer to the computer and found that looping the 4 bar phrase was impossible. I came...

    Tc electronic M-One

    Are these any good? I see the new M-One XL seems pretty good. What is the difference between the new M-One XL and the older M-One? Anyone have a Tc Electronic M-One or M-One XL and prefer to comment on the unit?

    ART CS2 or DBX 266XL compressor?

    I was thinking about both these compressors. I have a RNC and love it and was going to get a joe meek dual channel, but those are sorta $$$. I was wondering if either of these compressors is any good or has any character. The RNC is sorta just functional and boring, but it does its job well of...

    something fun for $80

    Hi, well its christmas and we do this secret santa thing, me and my sisters. The price is $80 and I was thinking of what to ask for. So what do you think is the coolest item to pump sound through for $80 (used I am guessing) I a jomox and roland tb-303 that I love to pump through the aux sends...

    Better Sound Card, Signal Chain Upgrade

    I currently have a Delta 2496 audiophile, runs to a mackie 1604 VLZ Pro out to Genelec 1031 a's. I don't really need tons of inputs for the recording, since I generally only record a stereo track at a time anyways. I only record in 24 bit, 44.1 since I feel the difference between 96 and 44.1 is...

    Using Nord Lead 3 as controller octave question

    So I am using my Nord Lead 3 to control my Albino Softsynth. I am playing a bass patch and I press octave lower on the Nord Lead 3, but it doesn't respond in Albino and only plays so high or low. Is there something I am missing here?

    Recording Vsti's to audio

    Ok so I have cubase running and I program a line for absynth and its good to go. Right now I have the output of the computer goto my mackie mixer and then I select subout 1 and 2 and I sent those outs back into the computers inputs while muting the input to avoid a loop. Whatever it works fine...

    New midi controllers remote 25, microkontrol, etc.

    So I am looking into getting a little one of these for right at my mixing desk. I have a nord lead 3, but that is to big so it is on a rack. I am looking into these microkontrol by korg and the novation remote 25 or extreme. I like the idea both have joysticks that I can use to program panning...

    Programming Panning Sweeps Cubase Sx

    I use Cubase Sx 2, the effect I am going for is panning. Exactly what I am looking for; A way to create the effect of a sound that sweeps the phrase of the sound (for instance 600ms) and go from left to right with the sound(being smooth might I add). Possibly there are just limits to Cubase's...

    What the hell is wrong with my Cubase Sx 2

    I don't understand what the probelm is. I have a nice legit copy of Cubase Sx 2.0 Some projects I load have 0% cpu, ie small ones with no effects yet. Other projects I do have 15-20 tracks with no effects yet and boom, 40-50% cpu gone on my 2.4ghz p4. What the hell is the probelm?

    Control Surface vs. Analog Board for Mixing

    I am seeking the need to mix my levels live. I used to mix on my mackie board 1604 vlz pro, but it has no compression. It was alright for basic mixing to two tracks, but using the Daw in Cubase Sx 2 is much better. So my mackie mixer is pretty maxed out, aux sends and all. I have a patchbay...

    Sequence of Mixing Reverb Question

    When I record my tracks some have reverb on them. While I find it is nessary to compress these before entering my daw, still probelms persist. I find it super annoying if I compress the track again, or during mix down and the reverb sounds that were low come up and sound like shit. Should you...

    Sound Acoustic Tiles, not glueing to a wall.

    I have a bedroom in my studio that I rent. I need some sound acoustics pretty bad, but I don't beleive gluing the pads is really an option for me. I could possibly see myself stapling them into the walls and then filling up the holes when I leave and painting them over. I guess another option...

    Cleaning music gear

    I normally tend to vacume everything then after whipe it down with a rag with a little water and slight bit of soap sometimes to get of grime. What would you use to clean dust of a speaker cone? What would be safe?

    Guitar Pedals running in series, gain drop from mixer...

    I find that when I run a aux out from my mixer to a single guitar pedal it sounds far more raw and loud than if I run pedals in series. I am meaning I link mutliple guitar pedals from a single aux out to a aux return. I assume this is because the pedals need that extra juice that comes from the...
