I'm trying to figure out what in the world is going on with the snare drum at about 4:00. Tt sounds like something else is being triggered with it, or its being treated with some kinda filter, any ideas what it is? The snare drums kinda sounds like a whip cracking, its pretty cool. Thanks in...

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anybody knew any techniques for minimizing the sound of drumsticks on a cymbal. Generally for ride hits I like it cause it needs that rhythm of the hti, but for crashes I just want the sizzle of the cymbal without the hit. Agressive compression with a fast...

Hi Everyone, This is the first time I've recorded and mixed somebody else's music. I would love to hear what you guys think of the recording and mixing. My friend wrote the song as far as vocals, lyrics, and chords, but I play all instruments (including acoustic guitar, cause his takes were a...

Hi everyone, So I've been recording for a while now but its always been solo acoustic or electric guitar, never a whole band or even a drum kit. So a couple of days ago I got a drummer buddy of mine to come in and play and made my first drum recording ever! Anyway, I think I have a pretty...

HI everyone, I posted this on the MIDImania forum but nobody there even responded, so I'd like first to say sorry for the double post, but hopefully one of you guys in the cubse forum can be of help. I'd really appreciate it. So I got an M-audio Axiom 61 MIDI controller/keyboard. I've been...

Hi everyone, So today I got an M-audio Axiom 61 MIDI controller/keyboard. I've been fiddling with it all day and slowly setting it up in cubase. I can use all my vstis without a problem and am in the process of configuring the keyboard to control a lot of my cubase parameters. I basically have...

Hey guys, There's a local dude on craigslist selling a vintage Hammond Aurora organ. He says he basically just wants to get rid of it and to make an offer. Thing is, I dont really know a whole lot about these so I'm not sure what to offer him. Any suggestions? I'm really short on cash right...

Hi all! So Im looking for a soft synth that works more as a filter for audio rather than something triggered by midi. (or it can be both) Im really looking to do synth treatments on some recorded guitar parts to make them really stand out and to create all sorts of crazyness. Im really very...
