Does anyone know of any good online documents for recording techniques? I have pretty good equipment (Macbookpro, Firepod, Firestudio Project, GNX4 Pedal, Spider III amp, MICS, good chords, etc...) but my stuff really sounds very sub-par. I'm sure it's my techniques but would love to read up on...

Can someone recommend some good software that has canned Drum Loops. I would like something that I can just import into my software. It needs to work with Logic Express. It would be nice if the software allowed me to build a song from start to finish so the song is not the same pattern all the...

I am using a Firepod for my interface and Logic Express for software. I also use a GNX4 for the guitar effects and normally run my GNX4 directly into input 7 or 8 on the front of the Firepod using normal unbalanced cables. My problem is that I often seem to have issues with crackles, pops and...

What's up guys... I have a question regarding the fast track pro recording interface. I have 2 MACs. 1 G5 Dual Core Power PC and 1 MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo. I want to pick up a smaller, more portable USB/Firewire interface for on the go recording. I want something that comes ready to work...

OK, I have read many posts from this section because I'm trying to come up with a way to put drum tracks into my own recordings and covers. I don't play drums and I'm not in a band with a good enough drummer to record so I need to create this stuff. I currently rely on the drum loops in Garage...

Can someone help with a Battery 3 question??? With this software, can I create beats from scratch to export into my recording software without any external loops or is it just for enhancing samples and imported loops. I have looked all over the internet for the answer to this question :confused...

I hope someone can provide some direction. I use Logic Express for my recording software and normally do my own recording away from the band which means I need software drums. I was looking at adding battery 3 to my MAC but my question is... Will this work with the Logic Express and if so, how...

Whats up all I was hoping that someone could help me with a Firepod question. In the rack I have the Firepod and a Behringer 4 channel headphone AMP and I have a pair of Rokit 5 powered monitors for playback. I have the Cue Mix Line Out going to the headphone AMP and the main CR Output going to...

Much help and advice is needed to make up my mind . I have about $2,800 to spend on a new system and would like to buy another MAC. The problem is Power PC or the new Intel Duo Core. I would like the new Macbook Pro (1.8 w/ 1 GB RAM) but don't want to be a test pilot for the new platform. Plus...

Does anyone know if the latest version of Cubase SX has been re-written to run on the new Intel Duo Core Macs? I want to purchase the new Macbook Pro but I don't want to be tied down to have to purchase Logic Pro as the recording software.

Gotta question regarding Cubase. I have a Firepod and use the version of Cubase that came free with the interface. It dosen't have nearly the functionality but like I said, it was the chopped down free version. When my band uses it to record, the recordings have a fairly good sound with good...

OK, for recording at home, whats better from the standpoint of sound quality, ease of use and overall functionality? Would you say computer-based recording with some form of interface/software or a 16 - 24 track digital workstation recorder? I have tried both and currently use the...

Can someone give me the low-down on the difference between balanced and unbalanced cables. I can tell the difference between the physical cables but would really like to know the overall difference in use. When and why do you use balanced as opposed to unbalanced cable and what are the...

Whats up all I have the following rack setup for home recording and would like some advice on the correct way to hook everything up within the rack itself. My equipment: 1. Presonus Firepod 2. Lexicon MX200 Signal Processor 3. Alesis 3630 Compressor/Limiter 4. Behringer HA4700 Headphone Amp...

I have a Firepod but seem to be having problems with the volume levels during the recording of my acoustic/electric guitar and vocals using my Condensor mic. For the acoustic/electric I use a Lexicon MX200 for effects and for the most part try to record using the condensor mic. I also have a...
