Hey gang, (very) long time no post. I've been out of the game for quite some time because of the hours my career consumes. I mostly doodle time-to-time with the acoustic. Recently, I've been itching to get my creative side flowing again, and thus seek some up to date advice from you guys -...

I'm currently using a 10ft firewire cable to connect my CPU with my Firepod. It's just a tad too short (i.e. 1-2 feet) to connect comfortably. So, I've speculated at purchasing, say, a 15ft cable. At what point should I be concerned about signal degradation/latency with firewire cables? Thanks.

I'm curious if there is a definative answer or any strong opinions out there about the CPU intensity of the same plugin ran in VST versus in DirectX. I haven't ran any tests, personally; also, no good posts or articles I've found, yet. I'd imagine there's variability between plugins (if any)...

I use AA 2.0, but have never used a MIDI controller for it. I decided to assign a few sliders/knobs of my MIDI keyboard to control panning and gain. I have 2 questions: 1) What trigger name am I looking for to do this in the assignment configuration? I can't seem to locate them. 2) Is there...

I typically write my lyrics straight-forward to paper. I was curious if there is a standard set of notation used when writing lyrics to illustrate tempo change, emphasis, etc.? I've not found what I'm looking for after some quick searching, but have a feeling this exists. Excuse my ignorance...

This question may not have a clear answer, but thought I'd seek opinions. Currently I use Adobe Audition 1.5, and while doing a typical mix, I use a ton of effects. Over time, the number of tracks, and subsequently the number of effects has increased further. Needless to say, my creativity...

99% of my recording and mixing experience has been with Audition. I have very little experience with analog or other software programs. So, I'm curious about the way effects are routed with other programs. In Audition, I use the FX section to run plugin effects for each channel, and then I...

Hey gang. I've played electric and acoustic guitar for over 8 years now. When recording tracks, I typically either borrow a bass from a friend or do some MIDI work. Both typically turn out pretty good, with my passable bass work. I don't have a bass and am thinking of purchasing one, just...

I've got this rack unit just sitting in my rack doing nothing. I don't need it since I purchased a Firepod a while back. Basically, this thing allows you to take 2 digital inputs (or just 1) from optical, coaxial, or XLR at 32-48kHz and output it at a different rate through optical, coaxial...

This isn't purely music related, but thought it could be of benefit for your music programs at some point in time. I've been in the situation many times where I would like to move a program from one HDD to another. As most know, moving the folder itself is inadequate, as there are several...

Okay, so I'm working on some recording a few hours ago. I realize that there are storms in the area, but not directly on me yet. I continue working. Shortly after, the storm is upon me. I finish up a few loose ends before saving, and within no time... boom. Everything shuts down before I...

Okay, I just picked up my Les Paul to lay down a few tracks and nada. I'm running into a Firepod through my PodXT. I checked everything and finally realized it's something inside my guitar. Basically, when I run it through a regular amp, I have to turn it up rather high to get a modest...

Okay, I realize this another "what's the best" thread, but here it goes... With a max budget of $4500 to spend on an acoustic guitar, what would you get? Some things I'm looking for: cutaway body, sound is most important, plays well strummed and finger-picked, and is excellent for recording...

I'm sure many have visited this site before, but I just found it. Great site with informative reviews on hundreds of headphones. They include selection guides to help you find what's best for your situation. Check it out. http://www.headphone.com/ <-- fitting url

I just received an email from Presonus about this new Firewire recording device. 4 inputs - seems like a good budget setup with a great price ($199) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/search/detail/base_pid/241483/src=01340

I feel somewhat, well, stupid for admitting this, but...I had one of my EV CO4 "Cobalt" mics in my hand today and walked by the window (i.e. sunlight). Me: Huh? I thought this thing was black. Oh, that's why it's called "Cobalt." :rolleyes: The lighting I've always had them in made...

http://presonus.com/firepodFWupdater.html Windows XP 2.14 Driver/Firmware Updater Instructions: The 2.14 driver version is a replacement for all other Firepod driver versions before it. The firmware should be updated on all Firepods using the new Firmware Updater included with the driver...

What you are about to read is long and changes tenses several times. This is about the hell I have gone through with my computer and getting my Firepod to work. No hate to my Firepod - I want this thing to work. Since Friday, I have spent approximately 50 hours on the problem described below...

Just a heads up to all DFH Superior users here. This update is huge and has a major effect on your RAM usage. Best of all, it's free. Enjoy (btw, it's not on the site yet, but should be within hours). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Superior 1.5 to...

I'm looking at getting a new pop filter. I think I'll be going the metal route, as most people I've talked to seem to prefer them over the cloth or similar material. Currently the following are on my list: Stedman Proscreen XL...
