Easy, isn't it? ;)

Personally for me writing songs is all about dicking around. I can't sit down and go 'ok I'm going to write a song'. Load up a virtual instrument you like and just muck around with it, make cool sounds. Record this whilst you're dicking around (being a virtual instrument it won't take up hardly...

I'm quite sure they both are but I'll double check. My 'studio' is in a separate shed behind my house so I doubt they ran two circuits there.

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...

Bigger if you can.

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...

Boxy sound, hmm. Maybe it's got something to do with the fact she's actually singing in a box? Sounds like your 'treatment' is uneven and has such created an uneven, unnatural sound.

Wow that actually sounds really good. I'm impressed.

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...

Depends on the sound you're going for. The cardiod will result in the most 'direct' sound and not much of a room sound. Figure 8 will start to involve the room a little more, and omni will capture the entire room as much as the amp. It's a matter of how it sounds, try it out, that's what this...

8 (simultaneous) channels on your interface should be plenty. No, they don't count as far as your interface goes. Virtual instruments are as you said - virtual. They exist within the computer only and you can run as many as you would like (limited only by your CPU power). You don't even need...

Most of my gripes are with lead guitarists. The way they tend to overplay, play when the band is talking and how their master volume always seems to creep up over the course of a session.

That probably wasn't clear but yeah you simply assign certain inputs/outputs to buses in the input/output section of that dialogue and it becomes pretty easy. For example, I have Eight mono inputs assigned to each of my ins on the interface. In the output section I have the main stereo bus...

Dunno if you worked it out or not but if you go to the VST Connections menu (Its in one of the drop-down menus from up the top right hand side) you can assign them all there.

Yeah that's how I'd do it too.

Cheers. How do you mean improve the instruments? The playing I'm not really focused on to be honest. If you mean the recording of the instruments then yeah I definitely agree. Any suggestions on how to improve those things mentioned in the mix or the instruments? Thanks! Aye the drums are a...

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...

It really depends on your equipment. Obviously the longer the cable run the bigger gains are to be had from running balanced cables but even with that said you should use balanced cables every chance you get. My rationale is that they aren't really any more expensive and if you balance...

Haha where the bloody hell were you when I originally asked? :P

Just in case anybody is wondering how to solve the problem I found out how. Basically the easiest way is to: a) Set your L-R markers b) Right click on the audio somewhere, click Export-OMF c) In that screen select the tracks to output as well as choosing NOT to reference the original audio...
