Here are my questions: [First of all I'm using Reason adapted for digidesign (Pro Tools 6 LE on G5)] * Is it possible to import a .mid file into Reason adapted for digi? * And more importantly: is there a software tone generator for general MIDI? Is there a sort of softsynth I can access for...

I’m thinking about making a Shure KSM44, KSM32, AT4050 or an AKG C414-BULS my next purchase. Since these mics seem to get good reviews, I’m wondering why people choose one over the other. For example, does the KSM44 in cardiod sound like the KSM32? What are the differences between the different...

So I have this mixdown @ 16 bit and 48K right now. I need to get it to 44.1 without changing the pitch, using only Soundforge and a basic version Samplitude. What is a semi-exceptable way to do this? Thanks for the help in advance.

Hello I have an ADAT XT-20 that’s in need of some minor repair. I was using the Studio Maintenance Center in San Rafael CA, but they seem to not be around anymore given that: * they have no answering service on their phone line * no one answers their phone * their website has been “suspended” *...

So I finaly thought I’d try the track copy fuction to bounce some stuff but... It's not working. So am I doing this wrong? Can't get input monitor light to show TRK COPY! I'm holding it down and everything. using a low-hour XT20 Whats the dilly' yo?

I’d like a Really Nice Parametric EQ. Oh, and a Really Nice Mixer!

I’m selling my C1000S, because I don’t really like the sound for overheads, or anything else besides guitar amps and acoustic guitars. I’m looking for a condenser in the same price range, I know there is no real reason to care too much about cheap condensers, but I <b>don’t</b> want something...

Well, I have about $1000 that I have set aside for new gear, it's been a while since any new gear has been purchased, so I'm really open to ideas. I've been out of the loop so to speak. My set up: Behringer Eurorack Mx 1604a Alesis ADAT XT-20 Electrix Filterfactory & Mo-FX Event Project Studio...

I've seen 'like-new' M8's around used for about 400-430$ usd. I guess I'm looking to pay around $430, depending on condition. I'm also looking for SP VTB-1, M Audio DPM3, 57's, 58's, SP B1, SP C1, analog echo or reverb outboard.

So here is the deal, I just got a Big Muff, a Russian one. So my question is…………… Someone told me that when the battery is disconnected, it still runs through chain to the amp. I tried this, and it works. This does not happen with Boss, DOD or any other pedals I have tried. So my question is...

I have been thinking of buying a new mixer. My problem is that I don’t really understand them at all! I have been recording with one ADAT and a Behringer 1604a. I use the main stereo outs to record (and monitoring on ALT 3-4), but I am sick of creating stereo mixdowns each time I record… so to...

On my 1/2 return channel, the signal is much stronger on one side. Not on any-other channels. My ADAT (XT-20) says the output is equal (say if the same thing is on both tracks) but on my mixer I need to pan hard right to get equal. It would not be much of a problem, but I use 1/2 A LOT, with my...

The mics I’m using are an AKG C1000S, Shure SM57 and some unmentionables. I am just a novice, but after a year or so of recording with one C1000S I find it is harsh on vocals. Anyway, I am looking to get a new mic, I was planning on buying another C1000S but I want to change it up a bit, maybe a...

I'm looking to get a mic pre, I have been using a MTI "tubes" guitar pedal (ha ha) for a while, it sounds pretty good to tell you the truth, it's just noisy and dirty. Well, I'm looking to get something between $0-400 but more in terms of $100-200. I'm using a Behringer 1604A which is just...

First of all I'm using SoundForge and Ozone. I have done albums before, but I'm really trying to make this one -pause, gulp- good. How the hell do I boost the mix above 0db? I'm looking to get around 2db in peaks. I cant even change anything (like the play meters to even show things above a...
