    reverb settings

    Assuming you are trying to fit the vox in a mix, regardless of if you overcome the send amount to bus while verb fully wet: - The most important thing is to EQ the reverb. Preferably an EQ before the reverb instance (on the verb bus) and hipass around 500 Hz or so, while lowpassing @ around...

    Which VST?

    For reverb there really is only one must-have, which obviously is Altiverb. If not convoluted, then Slate Verbsuite is quite nice.

    With the death of Sonar and Cakewalk, what are people moving to?

    Will continue to be on SONAR (has been since -99), but will still use REAPER regardless. If I suddenly stop dancing the Cakewalk, it will be all REAPER. Since their staff implementation there really isn't any other valid option.

    Automation of Wah-wah's on/off in Amplitube 3?

    Yeah, I figured that was a possibility, but a very cumbersome one. I can't believe IKMM fucked up on this one.

    Automation of Wah-wah's on/off in Amplitube 3?

    As per title: Guitar recordings are finished. Full-length PM-album. The guitarist is going to add some wah-wah to the solos afterwards, utilizing my stellar Roland FC-300. I know how to set things up and routing the midi track with the fc300 to the, configured-as-synth-amplitube sitting on...

    Recording drum with 9 microphones and a Zoom R16

    Well - I also occasionally record progressive metal with my Zoom R24, but I only utilize 7 inputs, since I only have three toms. In your case you could perhaps get a mic with 8-characteristics sticking up right between two toms, to share one input? Or you skip one of the toms all together, but...

    Would anyone care to post up their stereo drum tracks?

    OK - I play along too. Background: One of the current guitarists I play with toured in Japan with a progmetal-act a decade ago, then he wrote his own album, but recorded it with programmed drums (mouse/keyboard I assume). That's the version with the vox below. I had no part in that one. Now we...

    Should I get EZdrummer or Addictive Drums?

    I actually also like both Supraphonics (400+402) and the Pearl Reference Snare. But then I'm more of a groove/funk/zep drummer, so preferences may vary.

    I take it you understood the irony of it all.

    Mix in Cubase 5

    ^^Most likely yes. Anyways - I have Cubase as well (even if I mainly work in SONAR). Normally I lay down drum tracks to clients world-wide, but I can shoot you a mix for no more than 50 USD.

    Anyone tried Sonar X3?

    Still waiting for the bug reports. But it looks more attractive than X2 at least - and should also be more stable.

    Are real drummers "extinct?"

    Somehow it always comes down to the "real drummer" playing a "real kit" or someone who is programming drums. Has this thread even touched the subject of a "real drummer" playing the samples on an e-kit(like myself)? I believe it's the performance alone that is the most important thing - i.e the...

    smartphone audio apps

    Well - I have this one: https://www.akaipro.com/synthstation25 ...which I use with, in my view, the best iphone/ipad-DAW available at the moment: Music Studio - Overview Of course there are limits to how much you can do, but there are plenty of instruments, monitoring through your...

    RME UCX - is it worth it?

    Just that - thinking of getting myself an RME UCX. Being a drummer and recording quite a lot via SOFTWARE VST's mind you, I "need" low latency. My current is fairly low, but can't get those 64strokerolls to sit tightly enough. The question is if getting this RME-card will lower my latency...

    Mixing an Electronic Drum Kit

    No easy way really, and not a mixing issue. The sounds in a drum module are rarely any good, even in Yamaha's or Roland's top of the line products, so basically you need to either record an acoustic kit, or play the VST's (like I do) to have it sound realistic enough. Then the drummer comes into...

    Overwhelming number of Cakewalk users here at homerecording...

    My first DAW was some shit on an Amiga 500 back in -92. Then I heard of Cakewalk Pro audio 9 around 2002 or something. Continued down the Cakewalk/SONAR path. I strayed for a while trying Cubase, and have also tried Samplitude and Reaper. But SONAR has always been the most intuitive for me - and...

    mixing drums

    I would also go with the overheads first, cranking them up, and then place the other drums in the stereofield where they seem to be in the OH's. Kick, snare, hats, then toms. On the other hand Iäve heard of some that do OH last, so...

    promoting my music lessons? need some ideaz

    The thing that worked for me at least - which you already tried probably - is having contact with other music teacher's around who teaches kids, and other minors. Parents roam around that school with their kids anyway and there's always some kids that wants to try my instrument, and then my...
