Hey guys, I'm using a 30ft 16/4 XLR snake to my console. It seems that the four return XLR's have a huge amount of radio noise on them, each one actually has a different radio channel! Is there any specific reason this is happening? I don't get it on the 16 coming in, just the sends! The desk...

Hey guys, I've worked out how to do side-chain compression in Sonar 8. I'm trying to work out how to do the reverse of what normal sidechain compression does, instead of the audio dropping when a level comes in, it matching its peak. A bit like a gate, but not on/off. It's driving me crazy, I...

Hey guys! I've done a ton of research into this, but i'm hoping someone will tell me a way other than the way I have come up with. I basically have a PC, which i've been using for a very long time as my SECONDARY machine. I just bought a mac but would still like to use a ton of the software I...

I'm looking to buy a pair of studio headphones to use about three times a week for three years to do some media work. I'm looking for the flattest response, as I may mix on them now and again. I'm looking for something comfortable and that cause as less ear fatigue as possible. I am looking...

Does anyone know if you can remove the processor on Mac Pro's to upgrade them? I would like to buy one but would be a little annoyed if you were stuck with processor it comes with? - TM

Hey guys. I'm looking to replace my Fostex PM2 monitors with something much more high-end. I've been recommended some Dynaudio BM5a's for around £850, as well as some KRK VXT8's at the same price. I've also managed to find some Mackie HR824's for a very decent £500. So i'm a little stuck. I...

Just a quick message to let you know I run a recording studio in London, UK. As we only opened this week, were doing a HUGE deal of £50 for 6 hours if you book in the next month! E-mail: studio at utopianmusic.co.uk to book!

I just moved house and now have tons more room for my studio! Here are pictures of the control room, we also have a drum room which I will work on and get pictures up as soon as possible :) Time to make some music! :D

Some regulars on this forum may remember a while back when I was completing my studio build I built a desk to house my Mixer and control surfaces. It has served me very well although unfortunately my crappy behringer MX 2442a wouldn't last me as long as the desk would. I managed to grab myself...

Nothing else to say, A musical genius is dead. Gutted :(

I'm about to move into a new place where for the first time ever, I will have a separate live room! I want to be able to have either 16 connections in the live room to feed back to my desk. I have looked at stage boxes, multi-cores & also using 16 single cables all tied but i'm not sure which...

At last my crappy Behringer MX2442a 24 Channel desk has finally decided to give up on me, which gives me the great pleasure of replacing the thing. I mainly used it for pre's when I would record drums. I have a Layla24 and an ADA8000 which I use to get 16 inputs. The ADA has some remotely...

A friend of mine wants to take his recordings a little more seriously... so as of his next birthday i'l be building him a 2.5ghz quad core machine for him to start using for audio. I want to get him a little something to get his signal chain working better. At the moment he is using a terrible...

I just invested in a Nord Stage EX.. ( which by the way is a BEAST).. but i was wondering if any of you guys have ever re-created an electric guitar sound using a synthesizer. The nord has a pretty decent on-board synth, but I was wondering what kind of waveforms people use and any other...

Will all be a matter of the past once this guy's technology becomes more available: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/woody_norris_invents_amazing_things.html I personally can't wait :D And imagine the reverse effects... being able to mic up and instrument without ANY bleed. Oh wow oh wow...
