    Bass Techniques

    I've got a song that has tons of bass and it's just annihilating the mix. I run in to this frequently actually b/c I don't have many good bass sounds in my keyboard nor good samples and I can't play the bass guitar that well. I like deep sub bass sounds the best and I tried to use the Maserati...

    waves hcompressor

    I just tested a demo version of this out and it makes every track I put it on sound better. However, I run out of power. My laptop just crawls. besides the digidesign stock plugins I just have autotune; so I guess my question is: besides getting a new computer, is there a way to get more than...

    Mic Sensitivity to Temperature

    well I do my tracking in a storage unit in Utah and it get's down to about as low as 0 degrees F though rarely. And it get's up to 100 degrees in the Summer. Anyways, it'd be nice to just leave my sm7b on the stand all hooked up and ready to go but I worry about these temperatures ruining it...

    new drive no spyware/virus

    I'm getting a new external hard drive and was wondering if there was a way to make sure that I don't transfer any spyware/malware/virus/etc. to it via my other external hard drive or any flash discs. I was thinking, to be safe, that I should reinstall my operating system and format a new flash...

    anybody have one of these for your laptop that you know works w/ PTLE? the ones with TI chipsets should be compatible. But I don't think Digi has tested any.

    sibilance?

    OK something I'm doing is making the hihats sound really harsh but I only hear it that bad when I put it up on myspace.

    1394 stopped working

    I connect my external hard drive via 1394 firewire and it suddenly stopped working. my hard drive does work via USB still. So it's not the hard drive. not sure if it's the cable yet. But, how do I know if it's my laptop?

    Adobe programs

    would you install photoshop, dreamweaver, flash and fireworks on the same laptop as your DAW? I heard that if those programs are not running, then it won't compete for RAM. Is this true? will it compete for cpu power?
