    monitoring set-up advice wanted

    I'll start this off by letting you know that I currently use Yorkville ysm1's, the passive version (I got them long before they made active ones), and yes, they are excellent monitors. This post is in NO way a bash on my wonderful yorkies... My problem is this: Whenever I do mixes at home...

    Input monitoring isn't working right

    Hi there, Recently, when I start up Cubase, my input monitoring goes mute. I can hear what's going into the inputs any other time my computer is on. They only go mute when Cubase is the active program. Any ideas on what's causing this, or what the cure is? Thanks! Cubase vst/32 5.1 r1 Win...

    system stuttering problem

    Hi there fellow Cubase users! My playback (audio AND midi) stutters when I activate 6 audio inputs. Everything's just fine when I only have 2 or 4 activated, but with 6 audio inputs activated, stuttering occurs during playback. It's easy to de-activate the inputs when I don't need that many...

    Getting a Good Rhodes sound?

    Anyone have good suggestions on how to get Killer Rhodes sounds? I have an old "seventy-three" and not the suitcase model. For most of my tune demos I plugged into a tube pre, cranked in a little distortion and went straight into the 'puter. Not a bad sound, but not a great one either. Now...

    Anyone use a Mackie SR 24-4? Opinions?

    Hi everyone! So here's where I'm at... I've been using the original CR1604 for many many flawless years in my midi/audio setup. It's followed me through the years as I went from 4-track tape to DA-88 and now to Cubase. I'm at a point where I could use more inputs but don't have a lot of...

    Synchronizing VST32 to SMPTE/MTC??

    Does anyone here have any success sync-ing Cubase to SMPTE/MTC? For some reason I'm not able to get it slave properly. I'm running SMPTE into an old JL Cooper PPS-2 which then generates Midi Time Code and then sends it into my computer via midi. Cubase recognizes a midi signal, but won't lock...

    CD-RW problems... HELP!

    Hi there, I have a Yamaha 8/4/24 CD-RW (scsi-internal) that has worked flawlessly for over a year. However, now it's only making coasters. I don't use it that much so I don't remeber the last time I burned an audio CD successfully. Could something have gone wrong with the drive, software, or...

    quieter cabling

    Okay this is more of a question than anything (and it has nothing to do with monster cable!). Is there any benfit to using twisted 2 conductor wire for unbalanced connections? ...If star quad cable rejects more interference for balanced lines, does it follow that 2 conductors (twisted) rejects...

    Does anyone here use MOTU 1224?

    I just did a search on this and found very little on it. Is the 1224 not common here cuz it's expensive? Or some other reason? I have a GadgetLabs 824 that I like but I missed the chance to add the digital i/o. NOW I want that digital capability! Oh well, so much for my timing. Assuming I...

    What happens when you plug a 16 bit digital output into a 24 bit digital input? Does this work at all? Or does it get all messed up? Does it work ok as long as the sample rate is the same?
