Hello all! Can you take a look at this... http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?maincategory=754&category=754&product=2209 ...and tell me if the analogue outputs would be ok to use as outputs to a set of powered active monitors? Thanks!

I've acheived some pretty funky panning feats using manually drawn automation in Cubase SX. You can draw the automation for panning using a "pencil" tool as if you were drawing a picture. It's very simple to match up the panning path you are drawing to the wave image because you can view one...

I use Cubase SX, and it's amazing. There definitely is a learning curve, but it is a program I have been able to grow into as time goes on and my needs/interests change and I want to try new things. I started with VST 3.6, and have upgraded all the way through SX. Though I still haven't...

Hey, thanks for that info! My local Long and McQuade (Regina) is a nightmare - they have a really small selection (which is never anything I want), and it's way cheaper to order from the States than to get them to special order for me, so I've gotten out of the habit of shopping there at all...

Whoaa.... OK, I was just reading some posts about Alesis monitors, and the ones in question are the M1 Active MK2 model - possibly different from Monitor One's. Here is the link: http://www.americanmusical.com/item.asp?UID=2003120817343948&menu=&keyword=&item=ALE+M1AMK2...

Well, hear's the deal: Pretty much nobody sells those Yorkville monitors, and the few who do sell it won't ship to Canada. And if I want these monitors soon, I need to go with AMS because of the Easy Pay option. I hate saving up... So I've narrowed it down to either the Event TR6, or the...

Cabase SX kicks ass! It's expensive but very worth it. http://www.steinberg.net/en/index.php

And I just checked the back of that amp and it seems to have 2 sets of RCA jack outputs. So the proper connectivity is there... (even if I have to use RCA to 1/4" cables).

Thanks for the suggestions so far! Here is a thought: I have a Pioneer home theatre amp. Can I use it and Passive monitors? Or would that be defeating the purpose? It has a "direct" mode that bypasses the DSP processing. Just a thought that might save me some $$/let me get better quality...

If I may expand on that, the same principal holds true for mics. Most mics are chosen because of how they alter the sound with the capsule used and sometimes with internal eq circuitry. The preamp then changes the sound further. The aim should be to pick a combination of mic and preamp that...

Jotosuds, based on your previous comments I think you were already aware that a high noisefloor is bad and you are trying to remedy it (with the new drivers). :) My comments were for Savoy (sdsi). BTW: until the noisefloors on the Creative soundcards in question are as low as the...

I need to purchase a pair of powered near-field monitors. I read a massive post (that spanned 3 years!) and I'm still unsure. I can't go over $500 US. Suggestions?

There is a very high noise floor on the SB Live. It is a huge problem, particularly as multiple tracks that have all been recorded with that noise get layered together... I would know. I upgraded to a sound card with a noise floor of around -100db, and the difference is phenominal! Even just...

I have a Seasound Soloist, and I want to get some studio monitors. Does the "control room" output have an amp like the headphone output does? If it does, is it high-powered enough that can I can get passive monitors, or should I get active ones? I don't currently have anything to test this...

sorry - duplicate post

It's best to record pre-computer, so you are recording at the highest gain possible. Getting a better preamp can vastly improve your sound. However, the same can be said about getting a better microphone. Having said that, there are several great mics that will give you a professional sound...

And goddamnit I'm tired of being called a Newbie every time I post!:p

What exactly don't you like about your sound? In order to sound like a professional (commercial) vocal recording, you WILL need to compress, equalize, and probably add spatial FX like reverb/delay. If you don't compress, your recording may sound "thin" or "weak." If you don't equalize, your...

You need a plugin that will transpose your voice? You could try Steinberg VoiceMachine/VoiceGenerator, but it sure isn't free. http://www.8thstreet.com/product.asp?ProductCode=11175&Category=Software
