For the last few years I've been mainly using amp sims, recently I have realised that, although they are good they don't really inspire the creation of new tones/effects (for me anyway) My style is kinda headed towards a Coldplay kinda, slightly distorted crazy delays kinda thing, although I...

I have always used VI's for bass, but now I want to get my self a real bass to help bring the music to life a bit more. I have been looking at basses for about a month now and have narrowed it down to this: Squier Vintage Modified FSR 70's Jazz Bass | DV247 and this: Squier Vintage Modified...

Hi, I have an SE2200T and I have just been recording some vocals for a colab project. I got half way through a take and the mic just cut out. . . just stopped recording. I then realised that the PSU for the mic had cut out, I assumed that the fuse had gone on the electric cable. . . no such...

Hey, was wondering if you could shine some light on this. Before I start I don't have a clue about how the inner workings of a computer work. I think I'm at a stage where I really need to think about getting separate drives to record onto, keep OS and plugs etc, and Vi sample libraries. Here...

I hope this is kinda the right place. It's money time again, and I want to buy a Virtual Piano! I was going to get east west pianos for free along with symphonic orchestra. . . but my student money didn't come through in time for the offer. I have narrowed it down to: East west Pianos (full)...

Just recently moved from cubase to Pro Tools for workflow reasons. For those of you who are running 6, am I missing anything good?.

For those of you who use/ have used logic, you know in the bottom transport pannel where when you play a note (MIDI) it tells you the note your playing, but more importantly when you play a chord it tells you what chord your playing. is there a plugin that will do that job? preferably for Pro...

I really dont have te spare cash to be spending on this: Inspiron duo Laptop Details | Dell UK But hell, I was thinking the other day how Id like a machine that I could just throw in my bag and would be a good all rounder. I could put cubase and protools on it and use it to lay down some...

Thourght this may be a useful thread for not only myself but a few people who want to delve into acoustic treatment. Its well enough knowing about bass traps, diffusers etc. How different matrials absorp different frequencies and by how much. But how does one go about making the most out of...

I noticed the other day when I was getting some guitar down that my setup is really noisy!!! Using a Marshall DFX50 as my recording amp, Gibson LP as my recording guitar, and a couple of pedals and cheapo Multi FX, which Im running through the Fx send and return not direct through the guitars...

Hey guys. Just been recording some piano as we speak. Just wanted to see if this is all alright, So im recording the piano, (its actually of a VI which im recording onto 2 tracks) Its a rather dynamic piece, the meters are peaking around -5, avrage -10 with the odd clip at 0 and the quieter...

Hey, Just minimised the mix window by accident and I cant get it back. I have used the ctrl = shortcut, the windows menu, and taken a look in configurations, also restarted my comp to see if that would make any difference. lol where has it gone? how do I get it back. Also, you know when you...

Hey, Ive just had some problems with my PC, and Ive had to re install everything. I have just bought a external hard drive (WD essential 1tb USB2), And before I start anything stupid, I would like to know it is is worth keeping all my VI samples stored on it, would it be alot slower than...

Just got a briliant desk to create a more professional, comfier environment, a better mixing space. But I now have nowhere to put anything. I cant begin to arange anything there is so little space! I dont even have much gear. Its pissing me off now. Why must good things be so hard? Why cant I...

. . . for acoustic treatment to make a difference? Just a general question. I know there are probably a lot of veriables to take in to account. Lets take foam pannels and bass traps for instance. How much coverage would it take for you to notice the room to begin to deaden? The reason im...

A pair of Rode NT5's A pair Se electronics SE1's A pair of Avantone CK1's The NT5's and SE1's are about the same price have some solid reviews, if choosing out of eaither I would probably pick the NT5's as they seem to come of a little better. The Avantone CK1's are the choice I want to...

Hi there. I could do with some suggestions picking out some new microphones. First of all, my budget is rather small but quite flexible, Aka not looking for high end mics but not too cheap either. First of all and most importantly, I have recently aquired an upright piano which I will get in...

Ok, so I understand the use of panning, effects an dynamic processing and have a good grip on them. My current trail of thourght lies with the simple leveling/balancing of the mix. To help you help me im going to try and paint a picture of a scenario in which my question exists: Lets take a...

Hey guys, pleased to say that im slowly but surely getting my protools system up and running, I just have one small question, I come from Cubase and a while ago I read this article in the cuubase forum...
