    What can Daisy Chain to MOTU 896?

    Personally I've never had any outboard gear to use that will test this out so I can't help with you that. But, there is an ADAT in/out that you could use to support an extra 8 channels of 24bit @ 44.1/48kHz audio from another digital source. The only thing you'll have to watch out for is that...

    What can Daisy Chain to MOTU 896?

    Yes, it is possible to chain MOTU FW Devices to your current 896. I am currently running 2xMOTU 896's devices with no problems. You can even run the 896HD with an 896 as well. In theory this should work with 2 devices, but the are some hardware issues with the MOTU FW's. Are you looking to...

    What is Sidechain Compression?

    kylen, What are you using for your DAW? I'm in the midst of looking for a new station and would like as much input as possible. I've read a bit that AMD opeteron (I think that's how you spell it) are fairly good, but I can't remember what chipset to use it with. Thanks, Timmy J

    What is Sidechain Compression?

    Are you kidding??? Compressors are probably one of the best tools you can use for mixing. And you can get compressors that act on certain bands of frequencies. Of course with some over lap since a 10th order filter might tear your system apart (or maybe my system since it isn't strong enough)...

    why doesn't the GROUNDLIFT button get rid of the hum?

    Well, if there isn't a ground then how would there be any difference between switching the ground switch on and off??? I would recommend to fix the wiring in your house/studio/basement/loft/bedroom/etc.... Timmy J

    Backing Vocals

    Depends on the song I guess. I like to do Backups just as I would do Lead. Have the backup singer sing just as he/she would be if it was lead so that the it still sounds as strong. If your aren't getting 'smooth' sounding backups, try compressing the *** out of it and hitting a lot of reverb...

    mix in cubase, 8 songs, new project per song or not?

    Ear worm, Either way is fine I think. It all depends on prefence. I prefer to do each song in seperate projects just because it is a little cleaner and my PC tends to bog down if there are too many tracks. If you do one project for each song then just save the effects that you use to presets...

    Nuendo/Cubase: Applying Inserts Permantly

    Halion, trogdor is talking about the Offline Process History, not the the UNDO option. You can come back to a session weeks later and modify effects parameters that have been processed already. So nobody knows how to apply the insert effects permanently without having to save a preset...

    Nuendo/Cubase: Applying Inserts Permantly

    Halion, Yes, I know you can do this, but I don't want to preview a certain section of the clip. I want to use the ineserts with whatever plugins that apply there and then process the whole clip. Actually, you can change a parameter of the plugins that you apply by the method that you have...

    Nuendo/Cubase: Applying Inserts Permantly

    Yes, that is what I am talking about. However the freeze edit function seems to only apply to audio clips that you have already processed. The freeze edit option is grayed out when you have an insert applied to a track. When do you use the freeze edit ? Thanks, Tim

    Nuendo/Cubase: Applying Inserts Permantly

    After you have applied some insert plug-ins, how do you make the change permanent without having to save the preset, and then applying the plugin again to each audio clip on the channel? Basically after applying about 20 insert plugins throughout my project, the machine started to crash, so I...

    Motu896 output noise during reamping???

    I have the same unit but I have not tried reamping from the Outputs of the MOTU. Have you tried changing the switch on the back of the output that your using on the MOTU? They can be configured for +4/-10 and since your guitar amp is NOT a balanced input, you should have it set to -10. Give it...

    Flange effect when tracking vocals

    problem solved After doing some more debugging, I realized it was a latency problem so I reduced my buffer size on the MOTU firewire console. THanks guys! hehe. TIm

    Flange effect when tracking vocals

    Okay, bear with me on this one. I'm having a strange problem at my studio when recording vocals. Basically when the singer sings through the mic, he hears a flange effect on his headphones, to which I'm pretty sure is caused by a delay that's occuring or 2 of the same monitor signals being...

    speakers

    Very true, I guess you would prolly get some phase problems if they were different on each speaker. Tim

    speakers

    Get a 1.5 battery, hook it up to the 2 terminals of the speaker and if the speaker moves out then you know which is positive and which is negative. If the speaker moves in then you have the postive terminal connected to the negative. Hope that helps. Tim

    Hit song Forumal

    Very True. Critical for the success of most tunes! hah. I also find that most songs are about one of 3 things: 1. Love/Sex 2. Hate/Death 3. God And as you mentioned, there's also #4. 4. I win/You lose/I hate the world Songwriters should veer away from these ideas. Although, that also...
