Hi. Have just bought this tascam and have yet to unbox. Have just seen the windows operating systems in the side and windows 10 isn't specifically mentioned to sync it to. Is this a problem? It also says use usb 2 but my surface laptop 2 has only one usb 3 port. >Really want to use and...

HI. i want to use my Panasonic HD TV as a second screen that copies what i see on my VGA. I have only 1 VGA port on my PC and to buy a splitter and converter would be £75. Does anyone out there know how i can use my Xbox 360 to recieve the VGA data and then pass it on to my TV. I do this...

Hi all. I'm using Altiverb 6 for the first time and I'm trying to use it on a send channel so I can route audio from other tracks to that channel so I get a 'blend' / impression that all the guitar tracks were recorded in the one 'space'. I'm using this technique to 'glue' the tracks together...

Hi, I've just tried to master my own song using Izotope 4 and as it is running, it seems to work ok. When I export to an .mp3 to get a final track, it is clipping quite badly even though it is not when it is a running live project. I've got Izotope 4 on the master bus and the limiter section...

Hi all. I have got to to the point where I think I have a fairly stable mix. This is my first home recording called Invisible Ghosts and I've really enjoyed doing it. I'm approaching the point where I don't know what else to do to make it better. I'm gonna run it through Izotope 4 and see if I...

Hi all, just a quick question. I'm currently using FL Studio to get my songs down. It might not be the best DAW but I know it now and am happy with it. I am coming into trouble at the mo though. I've got a very heavy heavy project going on at the mo and my computer iws starting to show signs...

Hi all! :) I've been working on my first self recorded song for about a month now learning a lot of stuff as I go. I'm coming up against a problem that when I'm using a lot of audio clips plus many instances of different plugins I'm beginning to get stuttering in the sound as it plays. I...

Hi, I would love to be able to record live drums but I can't so I am using Ezdrummer. I'm pretty pleased with it so far but am wondering if anyone has some seasoned tips and tricks for a noob like myself? All ideas would be welcome, cheers, Ste. :D

Hi, I am currently using a pair of KRK Rokit 5's as my main monitors and have read an article by Mike Senior that says you should have a pair of grotbox's. Do you think that there is a big enough difference between what I am using now and the Avantone MixCubes? Are they useful? Cheers, Ste.

Hi, I've asked loads of questions here before as I too am really only just getting going. It's an ace site an I gonna keep using it to ask questions as and when they come. I've finally got something solid to contribute although it's been said one hundred times before. The thing that I've found...

Hi all. I'm still a noob to home recording so I'd like to ask a question if that's ok. I've just got a Solenksis SV-315 Compressor and the read-out (the box on the left) has values going from -50 to 0db. The thing I don't understand is that the values go both horizontal and vertical. Why are...

Hi. I'm still very new to home recording, can you get near commercial level results at home? I'm having trouble with getting my drums to cut through amongst other things, it seems every time I get a level for the drums right on one part, on the chorus, they don't seem loud enough. When I...

Hi, I'm looking to get hold of Sonalksis FreeG but don't seem to be able. It's on their site here: Sonalksis Ltd. but as soon as you try and download it, you get this page: Sonalksis Ltd. Which tells you that you have to be a registered user / you can download demo's. I can't find a place...

Hello. Just one more question for today. Thanks for all replies, this is a great site with loads of helpful people. If I am going to cut some freq from a guitar say, so that it allows more space for the vocals, which 'bit' should you cut? As far as I can tell the vocals have a lot of...

Hi. Can I ask another question regarding drums and how they are recorded and how they should be. If you are doing a rock song where you want there to be a big impact going from the verse to the chorus, is it right that you should have the drums louder on the chorus than you do on the verse...

Hi :) This is my first song that I have recorded. It's taken me a lot of time as I've had to learn so much, from FL Studio to EQ, compression(although I haven't used many effects really, as I still need to learn the right situations for each one). It would be great if you guys could give me...

Hello :-) I'm writing rock music mostly and am wondering what people think of Ezdrummer as compared to a well recorded and played real drum-kit. I've got together a really nice styled track on ezdrummer but am just wondering if it's my mixing in the fact that it doesn't really seem to have it...

Hi. I've just built several bass traps following this standard build type: http://www.basstraps.net/DIY-BASS-TRAPS-MADE-EASY.pdf The builds have gone well but I need to find something suitable to hang them with. I have bought hooks and raw plugs that will go into the wall buy do not know what...

Hi. I am wondering about my Saffire 6. I would like to have a second set of monitors(cheap PC ones) as a different viewpoint from my Rokit KRK 5's. Being new to this, I don't know how and where I should plug my PC speakers in, and how to use the Saffire 6 to send the music to the PC...

Hi. I recently read a quote by Geoff Emerick that said 'Mixing in stereo is the easy way out'. He was referring to the fact that when you mix in mono you can't get clarity of an instrument by shifting it to one side of the mix or the other. I'm still quite new to this but it seems to make...
