I have some nasty clipping on the snare drum of some tracks I created awhile ago. I was reading into depopping tools and wonder if any plugins were available to do this in Cubase SL.

the solo button in the mixer. Sometimes when I press it it sets the recorded enable button. I then have to disable recording and press the overall solo button to unsolo the track. Sometimes it works as expected. Any advice? I imagine it is a mode problem or something. Also, I am thinking...

My mixer has a Pre Fader, Pre EQ insert send/recieve TRS 1/4" connector. Can I take a TS patch cord and connect that connector to my recorder (Delta 44) if I just wanted to use the Pre-Amps on my mixer?

I really need to buy some monitors and am confused about what I need to look for. What are the characteristics of good monitors? What things do I end up sacrificing when I buy cheaper monitors? The ultimate characteristic of a transducer is its frequency response, but what tangible attributes...

I was wondering if someone could help me find so speakers, specifically for mixing multi-tracked recording. What type of frequency response is acceptable? Can I buy a decent pair for under $500? Thanks Courtney

I have recorded some material using Cubase VST 5.0. I later used Cool Edit Pro to do some Wave file editing on some of the same wave files. Somehow my sampling rate got messed up and the songs are playing back too fast in Cubase. Everything was set to 44.1 kHz but now it won't let me have the...

I just record a demo for the first time at home and have a couple questions for the mixdown. I recorded with all Cardiod mikes and as a consequence (frequency response) am missing a lot of "highs". Should I try to compensate this by equilization? If so what type of filter (band pass, high...

I am having trouble mixing in some minor tamborine parts that I added. I can't find the right level and effects. I want the tamborine to be present but not a "part" of the song, just an embellishment. Any suggestions? Thanks Courtney

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good resource about effects? I am trying to mix some songs and want to know more about what each know, etc.... does.

I have record several songs with Cubase VST 5.0. I tried to organize such that all the .WAV (all audio, no midi) files for a certain song were in the same file however, some where along the line I messed up. Now all the files are spread out in different subdirectories, this is especially...

What is the best way to punch in on Cubase Vst if I am recording Analog? I get a pop when I try to just press record. Should I use the locators? If so, I thought they were used only for Midi. Thanks Courtney

I am recording through a Delta 44 audio card into Cubase VST. Currently I am hearing a unwanted high pitch noise through the output of cubase. For instance, when recording drums, I am recording through 4 mikes into an analog mixer into the Delta 44 and Cubase. Out of the Mixer the drums sound...

When you have recorded something you usually try to match levels during mixdown, right? Why do you need to master? Is it because you need to apply mechanisms like compression to keep the levels matched? I have recorded at several studios but have never mastered. As a consequence my recordings...

I am trying to record my band with Cubase VST, an 8 channel mixer and a Delta 44 (4in, 4out) audio card. Here are our problems: 1.) We are limited to recording at my friends office. We tried recording in different rooms but were unhappy. The drums sound uninteresting and there was to much...

I want to record my bands album with Cubase. I am confused on how Cubase VST 5 saves my files. What is a song? What is an arrangement. How do I record multiple songs (I mean literal songs) and keep the same mixer settings. Thanks Courtney
