    Sibelius and Cubase 8.5 battling for audio driver....

    My son likes to compose on Sibelius, but for some reason the sound does not work in Sibelius after I've been using Cubase. When I go back to Cubase from Sibelius, I sometimes need to switch ASIO drivers and things will work after a re-start or two. The reverse is not true of Sibelius. I...

    What are people using to host photos these days?

    Take me back to the good old days when photobucket wasn’t trash and homerecording.com was the funniest place on the Internet

    Audio Process "Prieview" not audible? CUBASE 8

    I've just gotten my studio up and mostly running again and have found that none of my Audio Plugins seem to pass audio through when I hit "preview." The preview button changes and I can stop it, but no sound of (for example, the fade-in or fade-out) is audible. I'm fairly certain this was...

    Focusrite Scarlett 1820 vs. MOTU 828x -- Preamps?

    A Sweetwater review said that the new MOTU had better preamps than the Presonus. I always liked the Presonus pres in my Firepod and my Firestudio 26x26, and so am not automatically convinced by the review. I'm looking at going USB 2.0 now that my Old presonus is a bit fried. Anyone have...

    Is my Presonus Firestudio 26x26 dead?

    Edit: Meh. I got it to work, but not until after I bought a new interface. But it's a pretty sweet interface!

    Obi-Wan Just got Vegas.

    Sold a guitar today and turned it into an investment into Vegas 13. My church's minister of music wanted to record our Holtkamp organ for the AGO and we set up a camcorder and a DSLR and got some film. The organ blew away the DSLR's mics, but I got listenable audio from the little camcorder...

    Burning Audio CD's: Cubase 8 Pro and Win 7

    Had a heck of a time trying to burn copies of a family Christmas album we recorded with the kids and my sister to CD on my windows machine. The only thing I could eventually get to work was to export audio mix down as mp3, and then burn them to the CD using windows media player to re convert...

    Zero Latency Monitoring Heaven - Firestudio 26x26

    Zero Latency Monitoring Setup - Firestudio 26x26 My monitoring needs outgrew my Firepod -- which never otherwise let me down -- and picked up a Firestudio 26x26 on craigslist. The control software allows me to set up all the routing within the rack unit itself. The settings get stored in...

    Long Firewire + HDMI cables and cordless keyboard/mouse = snake / wiring replacement

    I realized that I could move my cpu tower away from my desk and create a sort of secondary mix position / digital mixer control position. This way, the main stage piano/ midi setup can remain in the back of the studio where everything else is set up in a basic band arrangement! The computer is...

    An "invention:" ...shifting pitch to check mix?

    I was reading the old SOS review of the powered avantone mix cubes and it occurred to me that a sufficiently accurate pitch shift applied to a mix might help identify mixing and balance errors due to nodes and other gremlins in the room and the monitors, etc. You would be, in effect, altering...

    Cool ways to use SPDIF I/O on my Firepod? (Cheap SPDIF stuff?)

    I've only used them once, as an input for my former band's guitar player's multi effects pedal. It was nice to have 10 inputs to record live. We had a lot of success in those sessions. SPDIF seems to be a bit outdated now, so I'm sure there are some cool things out there that I could snap up...

    Firepod FP10 Outputs 1-8

    I want to have my cake and eat it, too. Just got a Behringer XR 12 X Air. It's the best $250 I've ever spent on a new piece of kit. My research told me that the outputs of my Firepod could be run directly into inputs 5-12 on the XR12. Some sources said that it should work all the time, some...

    Mackie 32x8x2 with meterbridge and power supply -- wonky left channel - Connecticut

    Old mackie board. My son stepped on the mic cable to the amp and shorted the L channel. Repair would probably involve replacing one of the circuit boards, or maybe I'm missing something obvious. Anyway, it's for sale for the value of the power supply (which gets listed on ebay for $200-400...

    Obi's studio, ten years after...

    I quit my band two years ago or so. Back to school for a doctorate in education and some new certifications for the next phase in my professional life. But now my boys are playing music, both naturals in their own way, and it was time to restore the studio to working order. The desk left...

    Need a Windows 7 Desktop. A quiet one.

    Got Sibelius 7 for my wife, and need to upgrade the old desktop I guess. Current desktop has such a loud fan that I haven't really even been using it for serious recording. Cubase LE user. Firepod (so I need an expansion slot to put in my firewire card, or better yet a machine that is already...
