    Just downloaded the SX Demo and am confused about.... (also an SL question)

    the solo button in the mixer. Sometimes when I press it it sets the recorded enable button. I then have to disable recording and press the overall solo button to unsolo the track. Sometimes it works as expected. Any advice? I imagine it is a mode problem or something. Also, I am thinking...

    TRS Send/Recieve to TS

    My mixer has a Pre Fader, Pre EQ insert send/recieve TRS 1/4" connector. Can I take a TS patch cord and connect that connector to my recorder (Delta 44) if I just wanted to use the Pre-Amps on my mixer?

    What do you look for in monitors?

    I really need to buy some monitors and am confused about what I need to look for. What are the characteristics of good monitors? What things do I end up sacrificing when I buy cheaper monitors? The ultimate characteristic of a transducer is its frequency response, but what tangible attributes...

    Sampling Rate Problem

    I have recorded some material using Cubase VST 5.0. I later used Cool Edit Pro to do some Wave file editing on some of the same wave files. Somehow my sampling rate got messed up and the songs are playing back too fast in Cubase. Everything was set to 44.1 kHz but now it won't let me have the...

    Compensation through Equilization

    I just record a demo for the first time at home and have a couple questions for the mixdown. I recorded with all Cardiod mikes and as a consequence (frequency response) am missing a lot of "highs". Should I try to compensate this by equilization? If so what type of filter (band pass, high...

    Levels and settings for Tamborines

    I am having trouble mixing in some minor tamborine parts that I added. I can't find the right level and effects. I want the tamborine to be present but not a "part" of the song, just an embellishment. Any suggestions? Thanks Courtney

    Cubase VST Files

    I have record several songs with Cubase VST 5.0. I tried to organize such that all the .WAV (all audio, no midi) files for a certain song were in the same file however, some where along the line I messed up. Now all the files are spread out in different subdirectories, this is especially...

    Punching In on Cubase

    What is the best way to punch in on Cubase Vst if I am recording Analog? I get a pop when I try to just press record. Should I use the locators? If so, I thought they were used only for Midi. Thanks Courtney

    Strange "ping" noise

    I am recording through a Delta 44 audio card into Cubase VST. Currently I am hearing a unwanted high pitch noise through the output of cubase. For instance, when recording drums, I am recording through 4 mikes into an analog mixer into the Delta 44 and Cubase. Out of the Mixer the drums sound...

    Mixing vs Mastering .... the Newbie Question

    When you have recorded something you usually try to match levels during mixdown, right? Why do you need to master? Is it because you need to apply mechanisms like compression to keep the levels matched? I have recorded at several studios but have never mastered. As a consequence my recordings...

    First DIY recording session.....not so good.

    I am trying to record my band with Cubase VST, an 8 channel mixer and a Delta 44 (4in, 4out) audio card. Here are our problems: 1.) We are limited to recording at my friends office. We tried recording in different rooms but were unhappy. The drums sound uninteresting and there was to much...

    S/PDIF Questions.

    I just bought a Delta 410 because I thought it had 4 analog inputs. I know no that it has two analog inputs and 2 S/PDIF inputs. If I want to record drums through a mixer on the two analog inputs, what can I do for guitar and bass (through mics) on the S/PDIF? Anything? How cheap can I go...

    Typical Desktop Sound Card

    What is the "Line In" on a typical sound card, for instance a Creative Labs X Gamer? Can I use it for recording? If not, what kind of Sound Card should I buy for recording if I want to stay below $200 dollars? Thanks Courtney
