My daughter is taking her jazz degree at Humber College out in Ontario and they're getting into studio production. She just got a MacBook Pro (she got the little 13" screen so she can haul it around). She needs an interface to start recording. I've given her a small Behringer mixer with effects...

I step-wrote one measure of a drum beat. I then copied and pasted the same measure 1oo repetitions. Doing this as a alternative to a metronome. When I try to adjust the tempo only the first measure is affected by the change, the other measures zoom along like they are locked into the original...

I have a Behringer 1604 and it seems like the recorded sounds are real tinny. I also have an old Radio Shack DJ type mixer/fader that has no eq. This old POS mixer actually sounds way better/warmer than the Behringer. Can I plug a mic into the Radio Shack mixer then into the Behringer? Or...

Scenario: I make a song using Band-in-the-box, then save as a midi file type 1, open it in Sonar 1.3, I end up with all drums on one track. One track for each instrument and one track for ALL drums. This is no good because I can't change any one of the drum sounds individually. Any ideas?

I realize I'm about to get flamed real bad for buying a Behringer mixer but I bought it barely used from a friend. I'ts an MX1604A and I have two soundcards in my PC (Audiophile 2496 and SB Lve for midi), what's the best way(s) to hook up? I have a manual but it's useless and there's no dealer...

I recorded an audio bass track then thought I'd like to try and prop up the performance by doing some copy and paste . It's blues material so I'm trying to copy one 12 bar section to another. Problem= the new section sounds weak and at half the volume. I've tried doing it over and over and it...

I'm kinda interested in the Yorkville YSM 1 monitors, so I emailed their site to ask if they were sheided or not. This was the response: Hi Warren. The YSM1i's do, but not the YSM1's. However bucking magnets are available for them as YSM1MAG from your dealer. Msrp is $6.00 ea. and you install...

If a person has no choice but to resort to useing bookshelf speakers as monitors, why is it neccesary that they are magnetically shielded?

I've heard a bit about phase cancellation, like when you use 2 mics, say one in front of a guitar amp and one from behind. How does one go about reversing the phase? Also, I heard at one time that you would not encounter a phase cancelletion problem if the 2 mics are of the exact same make and...

I'm having serious dropouts with just one audio track, one midi track and no effects. This file used to play fine. I've tried all the recommended fixes and compacted the audio but still have the same problem. I get dropouts on playback and when I record it stops and tells me the audio disc is...

When I open a song with midi, occasionally I'll hear the strangest noises sort of like random sound effects. Whare are they coming from or have I entered the Twighlight Zone?

I just bought a PC with Athlon 1400, 60 G. Maxtor 7200, 256 mg. SDRam, W98SE, and Audio phile 2496 along with SB live Value for midi...... I bought what I could afford at the time and it included a PC CHIPS Socket A with a lot of onboard crap. I've been having crash problems and the company will...

When I record a track how do I keep from recording the click track and the other channels over again. I had it working perfectly and I think I reset something but I can't figure out what. Can someone help?

I have SB Live and today purchased Audiophile 2496. I'd like to use SBLive for midi and Audiophile for audio, of course. I've got outs from both soundcards. Does this mean I have to go out from each soundcard to amp/speakers? I've just installed the hardware(card) and am about to install the...

I am looking at aquiring a small mixer for recording and also to use for live sound. What do I need or what do I have to do to get the computer screen to show the mixer settings?
