Hey everyone, I had a problem this past weekend during a recording session. For reference, our set up is as such: Win XP Delta 1010 Sonar 4 Producer Mackie 1642 VLZPRO Presonus Mic Pre Various Mics, I'll list if needed. We've got all of the drums and bass finished for all 4 songs. We...

I have a thread in the Cakewalk section, thinking that my main issue was going to be concerning my software. It's come up, however, that there might be more of an issue with the way that the hardware is configured. Here is a link to that thread...

I really need some help here from you guys. I’m hopefully posting this in the correct forums. If someone thinks that it will work better in a different forum, please let me know, and I’ll post it there, instead. My band made a happy upgrade this past weekend, and bought a Delta 1010...

First, I apologize for starting ANOTHER thread about which multitrack card/interface to use. I have read through a ton of them, but still have some questions. Here's my situation: I have been running Cakewalk PA9 on a P2 300mhz with win 98. I have a Lexicon Core2 card on the computer. (I'm...

My drummer has an Akai DPS12i. I just joined the band a couple of months ago, and haven't really seen anything about it. They've used it in the past to record a CD for the former band, and they just didn't like it's ease of use. It doesn't have a CD burner upgrade in it, so they said that after...

Hi there, everyone. I need some help with recording my band. We’re really just looking for recording our practices right now. Hopefully we’ll get a really good take, and be able to post a song on a website, however, so we’re going for as good as we can get. Here is what we have running right...

Heya everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted, whew! My band is going to be doing some recording of our practices. We have the stuff, and want to use it, so we're going to go more than the 1 mic in the room set up. My question is, that I have 1 mic pre to use, and want to know where...

Here's what I have going. I'm going to be taking my gear to a band rehearsal so that they can have some live recordings. Probably only about 4 songs. It's in a basement, and the room is fairly small. Here's my mic locker: SP-B1 2 MXL 603's 2 SM 57's 1 SM 58 1 Peavey Diamond V22 I think...

I've spent a little time now looking for answers to my question here, and I've gotten some, but I'd like a bit more, so I've decided to ask a question. How does one go about triggering a drum kit? This is a potentially long answer, but that's what I'm looking for. I know that I can buy parts...

Hello all... I am looking into becoming an ASCAP member. I have 2 options, writer or publisher. Right now, I'm looking at the writer application, as that's a more obtainable goal than the publisher one, until the studio starts doing some business. My question, is what do I need for proof of...

First of all, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but I thought here would be as good a place as any for the question. I have come to realize that programmed drums will never sound as good as a good drummer playing a nice kit when mic'd properly. However, I am very limited with gear...

Hey there, all... I have FINALLY upgraded from my old Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. I'm having a problem in Sonar, that I haven't had in PA 9, and I can't seem to figure out what the issue is. I have a drum sequence that I programmed using Fruity Loops. I exported the drum instruments to individual...

I've searched the boards here, and found little on the subject, so I'm going to ask in this forum, as I hope this is the correct one to do so... My band is looking into expanding our PA setup, and one of the options is going to be building our own speakers. Well, cabinets, anyway. Is there a...

I asked this question over in the recpit, and just thought I'd ask it over here to, in order to get a good variety of answers. I'm curious as to how everyone handles the organization of their tracking procedures for a song. Do you keep a track sheet at all? Just scribbles on some paper...

I have a behringer 1204-FX PRO, and I'm wondering if the pre-amps in it will work for direct recording of bass. I'm only looking for a rehearsal recording. Just for the purposes of learning, music wise, nothing for a real recording at this point. I may have a matchbox to use, but I'm not...

See the attached drawing of my bands current set up. I'm planning on mic'ing the guitar players amp with a 57, run the vocals and bass direct, and have an SP B1 sitting where it's shown by the drummer in the corner. The double lines surrounding the drummer, and near the bar at the bottom of...

Does anybody know if Analog X DX typ plugins will work with PA9? I've got to tear a computer down, and put another one together to check it out, and if it won't work, I don't want to take the effort for that right now. ;) Lazy as can be, I guess. I hear alot about VST plugins, but the...

I'm going to be looking for a pair of overheads and I looked into buying a drum kit pack from Audix that uses their Fusion series mics. I got a couple of SM 57's for Christmas, so I thought that instead of getting the pack, that I'd just look for a pair of overheads, and then a kick mic, or use...

(I didn't want to over-run your thread, RE, so I started my own here.) A lot is being discussed about gates in the thread that Recording Engineer has started, and I have a question about them. First of all, I'm the typical low budget home reccer, so please keep that in mind. The only thing...
