    another Cubase LE question

    When i only have one track in the project, and go into the mixer view - I can't get the level meters to show. if I add a second track...I can get them both to go but not at the same time. Shouldn't those level meters show on at least all of the unmuted tracks, anytime something is playing...

    Drawmer DL241

    I bought this thing a couple of years ago because I heard it was good and I found one used at a local shop. It is the TRS version not XLR. Honestly I have no clue what made me buy it esp. considering it was around $400 - but now looking online I see that new they are still like 7-800 bucks so I...

    will latency ever bite me in the ass?

    Ok, I've read all about latency - I understand basically what it is. But there are still some real world things that I just don't get based on my experience. When I first started out I was using an SBLive! card with a radio shack mic plugged into it. I would record a track with my acoustic...

    more word clock confusion

    I almost put this in the computer soundcard forum but it made more sense to me here since it deals somewhat with external clock questions. Basically I understand that word clock is for syncing digital devices more or less? Though I certainly do not understand this fully...but that's ok, I don't...

    hrmm...windows xp sound problem.

    I have an nforce2 soundcard in my PC...has always worked fine. I installed the version of Cubase LE that i got with my Firepod on here just to screw around with it - do not have the firepod hooked up to this machine though. It worked fine but I noticed when I drug an mp3 track into the...

    Aardvark Q10 Sound Card (8 I/O)

    I bought this card in 2002, and never really got to use it to it's full potential. At the time it was a new product and they had driver issues with Windows 2000 - and I refused to run Windows 98. Eventually the drivers came out and I had a lot of fun using the card. It was perfect for me...

    Hercules 16/12

    Anyone seen this? It looks too good to be true for like ~400 USD.... The only thing it seems to be lacking is a dedicated Monitor i/o...but I guess they expect you to be using it in conjunction with a mixer or something... For the money if the converters are good it'd be a cool addition to a...

    Dithering: Where are we?

    The old school of thought on this board was that the best way to record if you were doing a project intended for CD at the current time - was 44.1/24 - (even if you had the resources to do 48, 96, etc.) Becuase often times the downconversion to the 44.1 cd format was damaging to the audio (but...

    Questions about Latency with Aark Q10/Sonar

    So I'm using Sonar 3 and loving it. I finally feel like I found a stable audio program that has some great features for a price I can live with. I've never really understood or took the time to really look into the latency I was getting before - my card has always seemed to work ok, but I want...

    making my gear work for me

    So, it's been a little while since I worked on a recording project...and when I broke everything out again, I remembered part of the reason why I got fed up with it last time. I did a total reworking of my soundcard/software setup...and got the drivers and latency and all that taken care of so...

    Question about 'Waves'

    Just a general question...and maybe if someone is very nice and has some free time, they could go the extra mile on this one... I know there are TDM and Native versions of Waves plugins.. Are there also VST or Directx versions? (I'm assuming that both of those fall into the Native...

    i got a classical! Cordoba 75R

    I was in Guitar Center...with my brother, just browsing, actually he took me down there becuase he wanted to look for a steel string. I've been wanting a nylon on and off for years...but never really looked at them. I happened to know a sales guy down there and asked him what he thought about...

    Motu 896 vs. Aardvark Q10

    I have a Q10, which works ok for me... but there are some features of the Motu 896 that I think are attractive. I'm considering getting one to work on a new project I'm starting.. My question is, the Q10 is often touted as having a very good Word Clock (the AarkSync or something) that (even...

    making my mixer work for me

    well, I got a soundcraft M12 - becuase I heard from a lot of people that even with DAW recording, a mixer can be the center of your studio, etc. Gear I have: Aardvark Q10 RNC Compressor Avalon U5 DI Drawmer DL241 Compressor VTB-1 Mic pre Right now I am basically just using the mixer for it's...

    i think i found my vocal mic...

    it's weird. i keep trying to upgrade vocal mics ever since i did some of my first recordings with a Rode NT3 (i liked the sound). I got a Rode NTK...i got a C1...i got an RE20.... Still, nothing sounds as good for my voice...or...maybe just the way I want to hear it on a record....as my NT3...

    more on digital clipping..

    when that new RHCP album "by the way" came out, i bitched about how bad it sounded and how i could hear clipping all over it. well, that new single has been on the radio some, and I kinda like it...so, I pulled the cd out again..put it on...and again, i was just astounded by how a major label...

    is my equipment ok in the basement (temp/humidity)

    I get concerned about this like, every other season... There is no heat in the basement, I live in Atlanta. The temp down there is like 57 degrees F, I'd say that stays FAIRLY constant throughout the winter. Maybe an abosolute low of 50. The humidity right now is 43%...I'd say that stays pretty...

    Toft ATC-2

    wow, this looks like a sweet piece of gear. Esp. to have a preamp/compressor/eq all in one, dual channel...and Richard Monroe said somewhere it was supposed to be like $1300... Anxious to hear how this thing sounds. At that price it's giving you a lot more than an MP1NV, just a touch less than...
