    Running unbalanced outs into guitar amp.

    Hey, I'm experimenting with re-amping and such and find that if I run a cable out from my digi001 and into my guitar amp that I get a lot of hum/noise. I take it this is because the output is a -10 low impedance and the guitar amp input is a high impedance, right? How do I correct this? Is...

    Remixing - Where to find sources?

    Hey guys, I've taken a bit of a liking to remixing other peoples songs. It's fun changing a song around into a new style as well as improving my general mixing. I have a hard time finding source audio files though. ie. Free songs to remix. Does anybody know where to find some? I'm not fussed...

    Ambient + Cheeserock = Win.

    Hey guys, Just give you a rundown of my gear: -Digi001 -Monitoring on a Hifi -Yamaha MG10/2 Preamps (patched the inserts) -Naint(?) MSH1O overheads. -Rode NTK -Miced the bass cab and went DI. $200 bass and $100 bass amp. Results in a slightly nicer sound than just going straight DI though. I...

    Virgin Submission

    Hey guys, I've been around this place for a while but I've never actually submitted anything. This one is a track I wrote a while back but I finally got around to recording it. I'm not much of a song-writer but it's my mixing I'm interested in! Just give you a rundown of my gear: -Digi001...

    Cutting up audio?

    Hey guys, I recently recorded a 2 hour long multi-track session (5 separate tracks) of our band jamming. Now I want to cut this big clip into several smaller clips which I want to put in new projects. I thought it would be as simple as selecting the regions I want to copy and pasting them into...

    Loop the Loop?

    Hey guys, I've been using Cubase SX 3 (I think theres a new version out?) for a while now and I'm comfortable using it. Something that has always irked me however is I can't for the life of me figure out how to loop a part when playing it. I've read the manual but I just can't work it out...

    Overheads & Stereo Acoustic Guitar

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a pair of condensors that would find themselves equally at home on a kit as well as acoustic guitar. Something available in Australia would be lovely too, so I'm restricted to shures/rode etc etc. I had a search around but the search tool doesn't seem to like...

    4 Track Cassette Recorder

    Hey guys, I'm now the proud owner of a Yamaha MTX4 4 Track Cassette Recorder, and hand me down from a cousin who moved away. Now I'm pretty damned familiar with most aspects of PC based recording but have never used a 4 track before. I think it would be good experience to play around with it...

    Analogue-Digital 0?

    Hey, I use a dinky little mixer as pre-amp basically. I plug my mic/source into the mixer and then run the -10 outs into my line in. Now I try to keep my signals around 0 on my mixer (maximum +5, then clip) in order to stop clipping/distortion. I assume this is the right thing to do. However...

    DI Box the solution?

    Hey, I have my electric guitar running into the line in on my mixer (acting as a preamp) (Yamaha MG10/2) then out of my rec.outs into my PC. Now I am using an amp simulator on my pc to get some effects going. My problem is however that to get a hot enough signal I have to turn the gain on the...

    Long Cable Runs

    Hi, I have a little home studio with a few condensers/dynamics etc etc running into a yamaha mg10/2 mixer which I use simply as a glorified preamp. I then run the -10 outs from the mixer into a live card (running kx for asio) with good results. My only comlpaint with this system is that my PC...

    Send/Returns not working on guitar?

    Hi, I have a rackmount DSP128 Effects unit hooked up through my mixers post-send and is returning through the left return. I choose to send my SM58 (xlr) to the unit and the effects work properly. However if I choose to run my guitar (straight to mixer) I don't get any effects even though...

    What happens if you run phantom through mics that don't need it (ie. Dynamics)?

    What happens? I am looking at buying the small Yamaha 10/2 and it has 4 mic pre-amps with switchable phantom. I am looking at getting condensors but only have dynamics at the moment. The switchable power is for all channels - you cannot set it individually. So yeah what would happen if I ran...

    Looking for a relatively cheap recording soundcard.

    Hi, I'm new here, its good to see a forum dedicated to home recording! I am looking to buy a soundcard to record with. Now I am going to be using a mixer and then recording track by track into my pc and then multi-tracking on my pc. I am not interested in a direct multitracking on the PC. Now...
