**Apologies for the crosspost, thought this forum might be more visible** Howyadoin, A client did a bunch of tapes on his Tascam 688 many years ago. He wants to pull them into the computer. I got a Tascam 238 for this purpose. The problem is, no matter what tape I put in the 238's deck, even...

Howyadoin, A client did a bunch of tapes on his Tascam 688 many years ago. He wants to pull them into the computer. I got a Tascam 238 for this purpose. The problem is, no matter what tape I put in the 238's deck, even standard 2-track cassettes, when I press Play, the head extends...

Howyadoin, This is a project I've been working on for a few months, slowly piecing it together. It's a solo project from a wicked guitarist and a cohort of his ridiculously talented buddies. 2-and-a-half minutes of layers upon layers... Whaddya think?

Howyadoin, Looking for the aforementioned part... This is a first-gen Topaz, not the Project series... Anybody got one they wanna part with?

Howyadoin, I've recently had the pleasure of recording a local band called Relentless, who is doing a few demo tracks with us. This is one of the tracks, also called Relentless. I'd appreciate any input regarding the mixdown. We're pretty much ready to put paid to this one, but I thought I'd...

Howyadoin, I've been trying to use MP3 files to send intermediate mixes to clients for comments and whatnot. I find the sound quality on higher-frequency sounds like hi-hat and sibilance in vocals very scratchy, like there's clipping taking place. The CDs that are ripped to MP3 were burned...

I'm looking for a down and dirty setup to record practices that will allow easy playback. My first thought is to use a 1/4" stereo cassette recorder, just patch in the feed from the PA and I'm good to go. The problem is dealing with end-of-tape monitoring. I'm looking for a recorder that will...

Howyadoin, Here's a track I recorded for a local folk trio's demo. Pretty basic gear; AT3035 for vocals, guitars (Taylor and Yamaha) straight in using on-board preamps, all going to the Alesis Studio 24, Delta 1010 downstream of that, running Cubase SX 1.02. Laid in some bass and Wurlitzer...

Howyadoin, I'm presently running 2 Delta 1010s, being fed by the 16 direct outs of my Alesis Studio32 mixer. I'm considering adding a third 1010, which will require a new mixing board with 24 direct outs. My two pet peeves about the Alesis are global phantom power and the lack of individual...

Howyadoin, I've been running my 2 Delta 1010s at 44.1KHz with no problem. Recording and playback, even with all 16 inputs working, is excellent using Cubase SX 1.02 under WinXP. I tried to change the sampling rate to 96KHz, and recording seems OK, but playback sounds like a monster blast of...

Howyadoin, My Alesis Studio32 mixing board has phantom power, but it is a all-or-none kind of thing. I have two condensor mics for drum overheads, there are 5 other dynamics on the snare, toms, etc., and a converted speaker in front of the kick drum.. Will it affect my dynamic mics if I...

Howyadoin, I've had an idea kicking around where I'd get folks with old multitrack analog cassette "garage tapes" to pay me to transcribe their tracks to .wav files and pass them along on a data CD for posterity. After thinking about this, I had some questions... 1. Are there proprietary...

Howyadoin, My studio has reached the point where 8 tracks isn't going to cut it... I'm currently running an Alesis Studio 24 into a Delta 1010 into a P4 2.4 GHz running Cubase SX. I'm looking at buying another Delta 1010, that's pretty much a done deal. My question comes with the mixing...

Howyadoin, Using SX 1.02... I'm getting complaints from players using a click-track about the ping-pong sounds the metronome makes. Is there a particular file I can replace or setting I can change to use something else? Can I at least change the hideous pitches to something a little less...

Howyadoin, I use Cubase SX as my primary tracking and mixing app. For smaller stuff, I use Sound Forge 6. Cubase allows me to use the Sound Forge DirectX plugins within Cubase, and I like some of them. My problem is when I use some plugins (Sonic Foundry pitch shift for example) in Cubase...

Howyadoin, Does anyone know of a Winamp plugin or other thingy that will allow me to pass a live mix as the input to a visualization? Those trippy effects would be wild as a backdrop using an LCD projector.... Also, is there any way to pass MIDI messages to Winamp or WMP, via a keyboard or...

Howyadoin, I was finishing up the signal chain setup on my DAW the other night, and was listening to a CD via Windows Media Player, running analog output from the CD-RW (ASUS 52X) to the CD Audio input of the motherboard's onboard sound hardware. I noticed that I was getting RF-type noise at...

Howyadoin, I was doing some tracking tests and noticed that when running Sound Forge 6, recording would peg the CPU at 100% usage, regardless of bit depth, sampling rate or presence of a signal. This is what I'm used to seeing from both my old DAW and the new one. I'm monitoring temperatures...

Howyadoin, Just thought I'd pass along some system specs that are very promising, and contrast them with my previous DAW PC. Old system: AMD AthlonXP 1800+, over clocked to ~2000+, MSI K7N420 Pro (original nForce chipset), 1GB DDR2700, 2 WD JB series drives, Innovatek water-cooling system...
