just reinstalled cubase and plugins (liquidmix for example) it seems that cubase is having difficulty understanding that the plugins on existing sessions with the plugins that are currently installed. upon opening a session cubase will say that it is missing (for example) the liquid mix plugin...

has anyone ever tried using a domestic tape cassette deck as a saturation/distortion effect?

There used to be an interesting plugin called Antares Microphone Modeller. I was wondering if anyone has come across any newer plugins based on convolution technology? Something along the lines of Speakerphone or Altiverb, but with mic convolutions. I'm not trying to turn an SM58 into a...

what is the best pitch shifter in your experience? for pitching monophonic and polyphonic material. for example if you wanted to pitch a bounced track down a couple of semitones, record backing vocals or chords, then pitch them up to fit the original tune. we're running cubase 4. otherwise...

does anyone know of any VST plugins that can convert notes played on guitar (or sung) into synth sounds? we're currently using the Korg MS20 successfully but would like to branch out to some different sounds. thanks in advance!

sorry if this is a duplicate post, my computer is weirding out. i've been mixing on the same monitors with the same amp for 15 odd years from listening to music to 4 tracks to 16 tracks to protools and i know their curve so well it's completely normal to me. i've mixed commercial releases on...

just a little fun competition for you. here are most of the component parts of our free download single, mash them up, reverse them, chop them into pieces, rap over them, set fire to them etc. then email me when you are done and then i'll tell you where to send the remix mp3. remix files...

My band is in some sort of thingy in The Sun Online (the website for Britain's largest newspaper) where you have to vote and we probably win something or whatever. Anyway, please can you spare a few minutes to vote lots of times in a desperate attempt to make us look popular? I will forever be...

Hello. Can you help me with a question re: pa systems? This is a long-winded question, sorry... In my band's rehearsal room we have a pa system and one of the speakers died. I have managed to locate two new speakers. The PA is 4 ohm and has two jack outputs. The two new speakers are 8 ohm and...

My first recording on my new Pro Tools LE system. This was recorded in a bedroom with a pair of overhears on the drums and a mic each on the kick and snare. I don't have an amp of any sort so the bass and guitars are going through amp simulators. I'm not a very good guitarist I'm afraid but my...

The other thread got me thinking that I should really know how to get a half decent recording of a gig. Since my most portable bit of gear is my Yamaha AW16G (8 inputs, 2 of which are xlr with phantom power) I was thinking that a pair of condensers mixed with a feed from the sound desk might...

I've got a gig tomorrow night and for some reason we have to kit share. Something about saving time and space or whatever. Anyway, the drummer apparently doesn't use a rack tom. He only uses a floor. So I have to bring my tom and tom arm but I don't know if they are going to be compatable with...

Since I'm charging my mates' bands to record (not much but they are still parting with money) I need to be doing the best job I possibly can. I would therefore appreciate your honest opinion of these mixes. Are they too compressed, too dry, too effected, drums too quiet/loud etc? Here are...

I wonder if you could help. I live in a rented house and probably will do for another one or two years. I'm planning on using a room in my house as a live room for drums, guitar amps etc while I use my current room purely as a control room. I'm worried about my neighbours and girlfriend...

Which should I get? a great PC with a digi 002 rack & pro tools & an ADAT interface or a great PC with two 1010LTs, Cubase and a decent studio mixer Let's have your votes please ladies and gentlemen. :)

I'm contemplating getting a digi 002 rack and a fast PC. I'm just trying to get in my head what the system actually is. Is the rack just an A/D converter or does it actually run pro tools? I mean does the actual processing take place in the rack while the computer just runs the visual and...

I've been planning to sort myself out a nice PC, a couple of soundcards and a 24 track mixer. But today I was producing a band in a fully Pro Tools studio. This was the first time I've worked with Pro Tools and it just shits on everything else from a great height. It's amazing and a total idiot...

Hi, I've got a few sci-fi trip-hoppy type beats that are crying out for a Dr Octagon style MC. Anyone up for it? Got any examples? Here's a link to one of my tracks called "Dr Deathray". http://www.loudmedicine.net/mp3/drdeath.mp3

I'm looking to buy some rigid fibreglass in the UK but "rigid fibreglass" seems to mean something else over here if you put it into search engines. Has anyone located a cheap source over here?
