I've been lurking around here for awhile, enjoying a lot of your tunes and never really posted a lot of my shit. These are a few songs I recorded last year for an album called "Lunar Ecstasy". I used Cool Edit with a DMP3 preamp and Rode NT1 (but it still sounds ok, hehe). For my new music I've...

Is it better to tackle sibilance right away with mic positioning, or do you like to use de-essers or eq? And if so, do you prefer to de-ess or eq per-"S" or over the entire track? I've not had this problem yet, because my DMP3 only goes up to 10k, but I've got a new pre on the way. Thanks for...

I'm selling my FL Studio Producer Edition (the full $149 version, records live vox, etc.) - including a license for the Sytrus VSTi (http://www.kvr-vst.com/review.php?action=show&user=2892). You can use this version of Sytrus in any host, btw. Sytrus sells for $179. I'm asking $179 for both...

I currently use regular Bose PC speakers for monitors and would like to step it up a notch with real recording monitors. I figure anything's better than what I'm using! Can anyone recommend some halfway decent monitors for under 200 bucks?

I'm considering giving the E-mu 1212m card a go, after using the Audiophile 2496 for a few years. I guess I'm falling for the hype...do you guys agree this is a worthwhile upgrade - or is it just a can of worms? I know the E-mu stuff has a reputation of being new and a little "buggy", while...

Hi - Is it true that a plugin with a large degree of latency will cause a delay when you listen to it in a session, but it doesn't affect mixdown? In other words, if you have a small annoying delay on a track because of a plugin, do you need to move it a few ticks, or will it right itself when...

I own a Rode NT1 - and love it. But that Studio Projects mic has my attention. Any opinions? Thanks!

Hey - I've always used a 4:1 compression on vocals - but I notice a lot of limiter plugins have vocal presets. What's the deal with this? Is it better to compress or limit a lead vocal? Thanks!

Hi - I've been messing with SIR for a few hours with some impulses from Voxengo...it sounds awesome. The thing is - if I'm recording a 24/44 project and use an impulse with 16/44 resolution, will it actually degrade my audio? And where can I get some great 24 bit impulses from? Thanks! Jeff

Hey All -- I've been using pretty much the same settings for my bass tones - Rock amp, bass 10, mid 3, treble 4. Does anyone here have any tips on getting a great Paul McCartney-esque tone with the J-Station, either with plugin effects applied or with the JS alone? Thanks!

I just bought a second internal HS for audio. Which folders should be set to go there by default in Sonar now? Just the Waves and per-project folders? Thanks!

Hey All - I just bought Wavelab Essentials. I notice it's got a pitch correction function...and says nothing about it in its manual. So what's the deal with "semitones" and "cents"? How many "semitones" and "cents" are there in a half step? Thanks!

Hi - I'm having trouble bouncing a track from my VSTi drum synth (Microtonic) to audio. You have to automate changes in an internal sequencer and record onto a track. It doesn't seem to record any audio when I hit record and the VSTi is playing its' beats. It works nicely in FL Studio...
