I'm a little confused on how to go about this in the correct way. I have A 24 bit mixdown, ready to be premastered so I can burn it. I use soundforge, apply any effects and fades - then process with the L2. Do I use the 16 bit dither option, or 24? I'm assuming I use the 16 bit dither...

I've been having some problems with cpu spikes, and on one of these threads someone was talking about setting the audio priority to high. Where would I find this setting?

I've been told that for best results I should have 2 hard drives on my pc - one with all my programs, and one with all the recorded audio. Is this true? I only have one 80 gig hard drive on my pc; a dell 8200 with a 2.2 ghz processor and 512 mb of ram. If I do go ahead and put in a second...

Would love to know what the majority of sx users are using by way of effects, specifically reverb. I really dont like the sx reverbs, or the sound forge either. I can use my outboard gear, but then I have to record with it (IthinK?). Any brilliant fx packages out there? Vst or direct x. Do...

I recorded drum tracks with my midi controller and Battery, a vst plugin. I recorded synth tracks with the controller and the built in a1 synth in SX. I'm ready to start automating tracks for mixdown, but I have to create audio tracks for these midi tracks, and I don't think the manual really...

I have a bunch of songs recorded with my old fostex fd-8. I want to dump the tracks into cubase so i can record more and mix them down. I can record 2 tracks at a time, but when I go and try and record the rest of the 8 tracks it is impossible to sync them up. I think I read that cubase wont...

I replaced my old alesis drum machine with a vst drum sampler - battery. I was told I could program, pop/rock oriented songs using cubase as a sequencer. I don't understand how to do this. I can play/record live with my midi controller - but that's all I can do. I recorded 2 measures of my...

Because I do not own a midi controller, I downloaded this thing called Trollo, which allows you to use your computer keyboard to play the vst synthisizer. The ony problem is there are certain keys that control actual functions in sx, like key "r" for record. Can these be disabled? thanks guys.

I have programmed a song on my boss dr-770 drum machine and would like to have it played by the drum machine in cubase sx. hookup is as follows: midi out boss 770. midi in to my sound card. In the midi track I have selected the sound card as the in, and the lm-7 as the out. Doesnt seem to...

I have two vocal tracks with various takes on each. I like a couple of the takes on track one for the verses, while track two has the choruses I like. How do I put this all together into one track? I understand how to do this with multiple takes one one track (i think), but not multiple takes...

So I Buy this new card so i can record my final mixes from my dat, and when I record in cakewalk express, or sondforge 6 demo, sometimes the playback is too fast(like the chipmunks, or too slow(like an old 45 at 33 rpm). Has anyone ever heard of this? Even the voice of my att connection is...

Anyone ever heard anything about this product? You can input digital sound(DAT,MD) through a USB port. It sounds perfect for me, but I don't understand how I would record through a USB and not the soundcard. Can a P.C recognize both the soundcard and a USB as input devices and not have a...

I'm buying a new cpu, and I have a choice between windows xp pro, or home edition. I want to start sending my final mixes into my computer to burn them, and maybe down the road, begin to actually record on the computer instead of my fostex fd-8. Which OS is the safer bet? I also realize I...

Iwas just given an Audio Technica AT 825 microphone. What is the best application for this mic? I think it is a condenser mic, but, as ignorant as it may seem, I'm not really sure what that means, or how it differs from my sure 57 or 58. It also has a switch that could either be set pointing...

I've been saving up for a burner for my pc so I can burn my music from a dat. But my roomate is buying a new G4 mac with a DVD burner. My question is, does the mac come with a soundcard with a digital coaxial or optical in? Would I have to buy a ne soundcard for the mac? Someone told me the...
