    vst instruments & effects

    Well, I've been Messing with Halion lately - (which until now I've only used for an exact instrument I was looking for. say, cello - double bass - flute and what not) but just started exploring all the other sounds on there and I have to say there are some awesome sounds on there! I just blew...

    cutting (splitting?) midi and loss of info

    Well, I'm trying to clean up my playing and make sure that I come in exactly at the seventh bar (simple bass line) So, It seems I've come in a little bit early - and decide I can just snap to grid (or even without) and just snip away the tiny bit that was early. When I cut it though, it...

    midi drums

    So, I've had "Home Recording for dummies" for a while now, and got some good info on midi drums from there. I have some friends that do it in different ways, But I'm wondering how all of you do it? Actually creating the beats I should say. I've found I like the drum editor in cubase, (as well...

    computer help sound device

    Okay, this in general is a question for anyone computer savvy- But this problem started after I've started getting back into recording. Randomly, my sound will stop working - and when I check in my control panel, it says no sound device. Now, this happens occasionally when I unplug my...

    track sizes?

    So, I have enlarge selected track on - and I like it - so I can keep tracks small . But I'm not understanding the sizes on some of these - I end up with mixed up sizes - for example one project I'm working on - the guitar track is Tiny, not even half an inch from top to bottom. Clicking on it...

    midi drums - Ezdrummer?

    So, I've been having a lot of fun playing with the midi "Drum editor" as it seems simplest to me - But if it was possible to add some swing into a beat I create on here? secondly I've only recently got ezdrummer, and started dragging and dropping some beats I like - But continued to remove...

    mixing levels

    So, been searching and can't quite find exactly the answer i'm looking for - Although I've found and bookmarked many threads that are a little over my head for right now. One of my friends told me, that the main output fader should never be put above 0db. The only reason I can think of is...

    send to reverb

    So, my next venture in my quest is to learn how to use reverb properly. I've read, and been told that it's best not to insert it onto a track - as you want to control how much of the signal actually gets mixed in (although I like how it sounds through my headphones when I'm singing. makes me...

    VST EQ? Izotope? T-Racks? Mastering?

    Sorry for the incredibly hard to understand thread name - but it's keywords ;). Really, I just want to learn to make a good mix before even trying to understand the mastering process - but I'm not understanding the difference between the EQ I'm using built in my DAW (Cubase 5) and ones that can...

    internal soundcard/interface

    So, Got my fast track pro - but now I don't have any sound through my computer =0 I'm under the impression I need to buy one of these http://www.fullcompass.com/product/282357.html and connect my speakers through the interface itself. Until then, is there a way I can still run sound through...

    midi questions

    Soo, I'm new to this midi stuff - and seem to be having trouble comprehending certain concepts. I've been making a drum beat with "groove agent one" in Cubase with the drum editor - and ended up with it being too loud along with the rest of my tracks. So I open up my mixer, and see 3 different...

    fast track pro drivers

    So, I'm gonna head out and finally splurge on this guy. But i've been reading on some forums and it seems people have bad things to say about the drivers. I read on here that there is a different driver on the net to d/l for free that will work with the fast track pro - Does that mean I...

    impossible to record audio?

    So, Funny story - but please excuse any ignorance on my part, I'm a complete no0b in recording generally. I've had some sound problems for quite a while. My sound will randomly stop working, and when I open my "Control panel - sound devices" everything will be grey, and it will say "No sound...

    Good USB interface, low budget

    Alright guys - trying to decide what interface to get. (My alesis USB 8 which I liked very much is pretty much broken) Over on gearslutz, I've been advised against the Lexicon omega, and the M-box. After reading the under 100 dollar microphone sticky in the mic forum, I think I'm going to go...

    cubase records midi early

    I've seen this issue addressed on a lot of forums, but no one has any kind of solution. I've seen one person say it's only m-audio controllers that do this - anyone have any knowledge of this? I'd hate to have to get a new keyboard... Ofcourse I could always just record, and slide the file...
