    AKAI DPS16 multitrack

    I'm asking $500. It's a great unit. has built in effects (including pitch correction) and capability of transferring audio to computer for further editing or mastering. The preamps on this are great. You get 99 virtual tracks to play with. I have the manual as well. I paid $1800 for this...

    All mixed up

    This is my first attempt at writing and mixing my own stuff in nearly 4 years. That's right - I had a 4 year writer's block. 4 years! Let me know what you think. http://www.petessportshop.com/files/replaceable.mp3 I wrote and performed everything except drums.

    First mix in Cubase

    I have been a PT user for years and recently bought a Cubase rig (3 months ago). After endless fiddling, I think I have gotten the hang of the interface....I think. haha. I was unsure as to whether this should be posted here or in the MP3 forum, so here it is...

    Crash Boom Bang

    Ok. So here's the deal. I am running Cubase LE4 and every time I try to apply a fade to the audio or normalize the program crashes on me. What is going on? Any ideas? thanks

    New to Cubase

    Got a question for you guys....I just bought a PreSonus Firestudio rig with Cubase LE 4. My problem is that I can't get my Yamaha keyboard to work properly. It has USB midi output. I loaded the drivers for it (XP) but can't figure out the routing in Cubase. It'll work fine in FruityLoops but...

    First mix with monitors

    This is my first mix on actual monitors not computer speakers. It's pre-production before my band hits a real studio. However, I was thinking about maybe recording other bands for a little side money, so I'd like to get the best results possible. Please help. My gear right now is pretty sparce...

    Repainting an Electric gitar

    I was thinking of having my very road-worn Ibanez Talman repainted. The present paint is very thick, almost like it's lamenated. A guy I know has offered to do it for free. He does custum paint for cars that have been published in Lowrider magazine. I want to go with a 3-color chameleon paint...

    New band/new music

    Progress with my old band was very slow and I was very frustrated. I didn't feel I was good enough to "make it". So I quit playing music. That was last winter, and now I have a new band. I guess I'm not very good at quiting either. It's been a while since I've been on this board and I have...

    Expanding Akai DPS16...

    I'm trying to figure out a cheap way to use the digital inputs on my DPS16. Musiciansfriend has a Fostex VM08 8-Channel Digital Mixer on sale for $200. I figure I can use it to take advantage of the SPIF input on my recorder to record 10 tracks at once. 10 tracks at once would be sooo nice...

    First "paying" customer

    I say "paying" because I'm only charging $100 for four songs. These kids are the first band I've recorded that I wasn't in. This is their first band and their first time recording (they're still in high school). I'm trying to make this experience as nice as I possibly can for them. My first...

    1st mix on a Roland VS-2480

    This is the most complicated piece of equipment I have encountered so far since I started recording. Every button has three functions(piece of shit) and they aren't in any logical place. Anyways, this is my first attempt to mix on a Roland VS-2480...

    Suggestions on my mediocre mix

    Can someone please help me with my mix. I am really not happy with this mix, but I'm not sure what I need to tweak to fix it. Everytime I've posted a mix nobody responds. Please help, I don't want my mixes to suck forever. http://www.maderainfo.com/slowcrush/dick.mp3

    Help!

    I recorded a band a few months ago when I first got my DPS16. It's a live recording and was only meant for my own use, just for practice with my new toy. I did a rough mix to CD and trashed the tracks (they hogged my HD) Now they want a copy and I really don't want to give it to them the way...

    Behringer T1950 Magician

    Anyone have a Behringer T1950 Magician? Or at least used one in an actual recording environment. I was think about buying one. Would this work as a pre? Or is it merely rack-mountable shit. If it's cool I could get my HR-824's too. If not, I'm an in either/or situation between an Avalon Vt 737sp...

    I'm new to recording and need help with setting up my compressor. I'm using a cheap 5 piece Nady drum mic kit with a SM57 on the snare going into an Alesis 3630 compr. then in an Akai DPS16. I don't have a preamp. I've been using this setup for 3 months and can't figure the damn thing (compr)...
