Hi there, I want to treat a room so it will be adequate for drums... How would I do this? I don't know if a drum room is supposed to be live or dead... The room is roughly 15' x 13'. Ceiling height is 7'2". Any suggestions? Thanks, Chris

Hi guys, I've been lurking for a while and posting sometimes, and have finally bought a house. I was wondering if any of you gurus here could give me some advice? I'm looking to build a studio where I'll be able to record drums. The area I have to work with, though, might be a bit of a...

I've been seriously looking at the Aardvark q10 as a means of computer recording, but I have come across the Roland Studio Package Pro. It has 8 mic pres, faders, a joystick for 5.1 mixing... It looks pretty amazing for those who want to do some budget computer recording, but prefer a hands-on...

Hello all, I'm looking for a little insight on what I should buy for my application. I'm looking to set up a DAW station, but I'm stuck on 1 thing. Vocals, Guitars, Bass, that can all be done on 1 channel, layer on layer... But I am concerned about the drums. I've got a 6pce set with a few...

Man, I'm having problems, problems, problems. My band and I are in the studio, and we're a metal outfit. Our vocals can go from clean to gruff to rap to all-out gutteral screaming in one song, and our engineer is having a hard time making it sound convincing. The clean vocals are pretty easy...

Does anyone have any suggestions for recording along to the Metronome in Cubase 5.1 VST32? Here's what happens: I set the click up to any tempo, and I give it 2 bars of "count-in", or whatever. Then I play on the first beat of when it starts to record. The thing is, it comes through my...

Hey all, my band has a gig on Saturday, and I was planning on renting a cd-burner and hooking it into the board. Do live recordings generally sound alright if the soundman knows what he's doing? If not, can anyone give me any suggestions? Thanks!! Chris

I have a chance to get a 24x4 StudioMaster mixing console... But I've never heard of StudioMaster. I know Track Rat has one, not the 24x4, but another StudioMaster. How are they? Are they any good?

I have a chance to get a hold of a StudioMaster 24x4 mixing console, in good working order, for a really decent price. Are StudioMasters crap? I'm new to the game, and I've heard of the Mackies, the Soundcrafts, the Behringers (shudder), but no StudioMaster. Can anyone give me any indication...

Hello all, When I try installing Cubase SX on my computer, I get an error: "The file E:\Library\Presets\Staff Settings\Piano.xml could not be opened." When I click OK on that, the whole setup program just closes. I am running Win2k on an AMD 1800+, with 512mb f DDR. What could be causing...

I know this is a dumb question, but will a Behringer 2442A be able to power a set of Mains and Monitors? It's all I can afford, and I need all those preamps!! Thanks, Chris

Hey guys, What kind of results can I expect if I purchased an Audiophile 2496 sound card and a Behringer MX2442A Eurodesk Mixer? Has anyone experimented with a combo like this before? How's the sound quality? Thanks in advance guys! Chris

I'm having trouble "getting" the heels up concept, I was wondering if people could help me out here.... Some questions to those how play heels up: *Where are the balls of your feet on the footboard of the pedal? *Do you lift your entire leg, or just give your lower leg a "jerk" using the calf...

Has anyone ever triggered their drums before? I was turned onto the idea by a guy who said a lot of guys do it, most notably, Vinnie Paul of Pantera. What are the advantages and disadvantages? Will triggers still allow me to roll on the snare and toms, and sound good going through the sound...

Hello, When I try to record audio in Cubase 5 VST/32, there is this echo that I cannot get rid of! For instance, if I hit my snare drum once, half a second later, it echoes. What causes this, and how can I fix it? Is it a bug?? Chris

Hello everyone, I'm new here, and I'm also new to the whole home recording thing, so for furure reference, that's why I don't know that I'm talking about much. Anyway, when I try to record multiple tracks in my copy of Sonar 1, I have a problem. The first track goes fine, but the second (and...
