    Elektron Machinedrum Samples

    Does anyone know where I can buy samples from the Elektron Machinedrum? I definitely cannot afford the unit, but I like some of the sounds. I was thinking that I could load them all into a software sampler. Does anyone know if such samples exist? I do know that M-Audio makes a loop library...

    8 Channel Preamp: How does one decide?

    So this topic has been beaten to death, but I am still left wondering which 8 channel preamp is the best for me. I have basically narrowed it down to the M-Audio Octane vs. the PreSonus Digimax FS. They are both the same price, very similar features. I think I am only leaning toward the...

    Presonus Digimax FS vs. Digimax LT

    What's the difference between the two? zZounds.com is selling the Digimax FS, but I looked on the Presonus website and that unit isn't even aknowleged- only the Digimax LT. Thanks, Scott

    Firewire vs. PCI Interfaces

    What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Right now I am using the M-Audio Delta 1010 and it works great, but I am thinking about getting a firewire interface to allow for more mobility. Smart move? Or are the PCI interfaces much more stable? Thanks, Scott

    How do busses work?

    Hello everyone, Say I have a bus with a stereo reverb effect on it and a hypothetical snare track. If I want reverb on the snare, I set the wet/dry setting on the effect to 100%, and send some of the snare signal to the bus. If both the track (with the dry snare track) and the bus are routed to...

    Integrating Delta 1010, monitors, preamps, and a headphone amp

    I have a question about how to integrate a Delta 1010, a headphone amp (Behringer HA4700), a monitoring system, and a few preamps. I’m hoping I’ll be able to describe this thoroughly enough so that you all understand it, but I may end up attaching a drawing if all does not go well. This is the...

    Pre-amps for M-Audio Delta 1010

    Hello All.... It's about that time for a soundcard upgrade, and I think I have decided on the M-Audio Delta 1010. I'm currently using an Audiophile 2496 card from M-Audio alongside an SBLive. The SBLive is noisy as hell, and I need a way to record at least 4 inputs at once. If I were to buy...

    SBLive Noise

    I have a SBLive and an Audiophile 2496. I try to use the audiophile for everything, but when recording drums I have to use the SBLive too. I've noticed that the SBLive has seemed to have gotten noisier. Is this possible? It used to be pretty quiet...but recently it seems as though the noise...

    Dither 24 bit down to 16

    I am running a bunch of tracks in SONAR 2 that are 24 bit and I'm getting dropouts when I start running a lot of plug-ins. How do I dither these 24 bit tracks down to 16 bits? Does SONAR have some built in function to do this? Thanks, Scott

    SM57 vs SP-B1

    How different would the Studio Projects B1 mics sound as drum overheads compared to Shure SM57s or 58s (which is what i am currently using). I would also be using these B1s for vocals and acoustic guitar if I end up getting 'em. I've heard nothing but good things about this mic and for 80...

    Mixed Sample Rates In One Project

    Will this work in SONAR? I have some drum tracks that were recorded at 24bit 44.1k and wanted to know if I would be able to record audio at 24bit 96k in the same project? Thanks, Scott P.S. - Also...I don't think I would ever do this...but...can you mix bit rates in the same project?

    Using the waveform to trigger a sample

    Hello, Is it possible to use my existing kick and snare tracks to trigger samples when the track reaches a certain decible level? Has anyone here tried this before? Is there some kind of plugin out there that would allow me to do this? Or is there some other technique? I am using SONAR XL...
