I need a P4 Motherboard with onboard Firewire with a Texas Instruments Chipset. My last MOBO was such a piece of junk, have had problems with it for years. This time, I want to find out what a good brand/model of MOBO is, one that will last at least 5 years or more if possible. Anyone have...

What's the best Jazz Horn VST or Multisample Library? I've listened to some Jazz Horn VSTs, and most sound very cheesy.. like those corny 80's synthesizer imitations of acoustic instruments.

I've used Ableton Live, and I love it. But I've heard of people tracking their Ableton tracks into Protools or Logic for mastering. Is there any reason for doing this, other than simply liking Protools and Logic's exclusive plugins? Is there some mastering feature other than exclusive plugins...

I want to run scratching from my turntable through a compressor with zero latency. Since all of the plugins have noticeable latency, it seems like i need a compressor hardware unit. I also want to use this compressor for recording vocals into my computer (recording @ 24bit) and live use. I...

When I'm playing a synth and twisting knobs, I want to record the knob twists as VST Automation Data (not MIDI data) and I want to record the keyboard press data as MIDI data. However, if I try to do this, Cubase SX 3 records the knob twists as both VST Automation Data in the Automation track...

When I control virtual faders using my BCF2000, the virtual faders don't keep up with fast Fader Controller movements. If the Controller fader movements are fast enough, sometimes most of the movement is missed by the virtual faders. This seems to have something do with Nyquist's sampling...

Certain VST Automation ID #'s don't appear on the automation parameter list... For example, I'll assign a knob on a VST to Automation ID #80. Then, when I scroll through the Automation Parameter List, I don't see that knob's name on the list. However, if I use certain other Automation ID...

In Cubase, is there any way to sort the automation parameters list for a given VST? By default, it doesn't seem to be sorted alphabetically, nor by automation ID number.

Can Cubase, or any other app in conjunction with Cubase, do the following?: I have a MIDI fader on CC#0, and MIDI drum pads transmitting various note #'s. I want to make the MIDI data from CC#0 be routed to the CC# that matches the last played note #. For example, let's say I play MIDI note...

In Cubase SX 3, my VST plugins receive key commands even if "Plugins Receive Key Commands" is unchecked in the Preferences Menu. Only the VST plugin that is the topmost window receives key commands. If no VST plugin is the topmost window, then no VST plugin recieves key commands. Is there...

In the article below, an awesome technique for controlling Cubase is described, which involves using an Electrone KM128A keyboard in combination with the software "Quickeys." Does anyone know if there exists a cheaper alternative to the Electrone KM128A on the market? If not, does anyone know...

I'm trying to find a computer program that will let me input a set of notes, and which will then produce a list of the scales that contain those notes. Hopefully the set of scales that the program searches through will be very comprehensive. Does anyone know of a program that can do this? For...

I have tried running fruity loops 6 xxl as a VST inside of the latest version of Cubase SX 3, and I have also tried rewiring FL6 into Cubase. I am having all kinds of synchronization issues, either way. When I press "Play" or "Record" from the zero time position in Cubase, Cubase plays through...

Is it possible to assign "step event display window right/left" to a key command? Is it possible to assign "step event display window right/left" to a key command? I have zoom in/out assigned to the up/down arrow keys, so it would be perfect to have "step event display window right/left"...

I have been using a Vestax 07 Pro DJ mixer as a microphone preamp for recording in my studio. I'm using the microphone inputs. I've been using it, just b/c it was lying around here. Is it going to make my recording sound much better if I get a preamp that is designed specifically for...

I am running fruity loops 6 xxl as a VST inside of the latest version of Cubase SX 3. The problem is that the little light that follows the tempo under the drum machine buttons in Fruity is off time from the timing of the audio coming out of the speakers, and from the visual representation of...

Can anyone recommend a good boom mic stand in the $30 price range? (Or a lower price range if a good quality stand can be had at a cheaper price)

OK, when I'm EQ'ing, what bugs me is that when I apply boost to any region, the overall volume (mathematically speaking, this is the power of the signal, right?) increases. So, when I apply boost to a region, and it sounds better, it's hard to tell whether the improvement in the way it sounds...

I have a few questions about mixing audio, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good tutorial(s). For example, one question that I have is: Consider two different sets of mixer volume settings for a given project. Assume that there are no effects being used, and that we're only working with...
