I know this is a basic question to some of you but I'm still working on the basics. What is a simple explanation of Mixing vs Mastering songs towards producing a CD?

You really should spend time on VSPlanet. Wealth of information in between the crap. Need to figure something out? Don't know what that button does? Just post a question. You'll get lots of good advice, seriously. There's a guy in TX (Rich Knepper) that I remember from way back in the early...

Optimizing a song essentially discards all the FX, scene, undo and other settings that are not currently used in the song's current configuration. I had the same anxiety a while back. I found that whatever Optimize cleans up/out had no effect on what I was doing with the song. Depending on what...

I had the same dillema. I got a midiman midisport 2x2 interface. USB to my PC and two sets of midi in/out. I can connect the PC to my VS and synth at the same time. I have Cakewalk but it should work the same with Logic VS.

HELP!!!! Got an LX20 with 108 hours on the drum and version 1.03 firmware. I can format tapes but get an Error 07 every time I try to record. I've run a Black Watch cleaning tape several times but no good. I'm using new Quantegy 489 tapes that I put through a tape rewinder several times first...

ADAT tape Misterque, where do you find them for 8$ and change?

Just got an LX20 and need tape! Where can I get the best deals? What brands should I stay away from? Are the dry head cleaners any good?

I'm looking for ideas and advice. I've got a home studio with an expanded VS880 but the small 540m hard drive. I back up to 100m Zips via the SCSI interface and mix down to either minidisc on a portable Sharp minidisc recorder or direct into my laptop/Cakewalk Pro 9. I burn CDs using Adaptec...

I've tried to sync my Vexpanded 880 to my PC with ProAudio 9, Logic, and a VSPlanet user's creation called Virtualizer. I have never gotten any of them to work right. Sometimes I can get basic transport control and quite often everything locks up. I can get my QS6 synth to work like a charm but...
