I'm doing my first attempt at a very basic Eq/Mastering of some songs just for learning/fun and using stock PT11 plugins. I realize there are many different thoughts and processes on this, and I seem to have gotten it how I want it to sound but now having some issues bouncing it to disk. I...

I have a Rode NTK and have never recorded with a shockmount. I'm thinking of buying one and have searched this topic, but it seems the reasoning given for having one doesn't really pertain to me. I record my vocals solo, without other instruments playing at the same time (no rumble). Also, I'm...

Hello.....i play through a JCM2000 DSL 50 head and am looking to downsize my rig from the 4x12 Marshall Cab I currently have down to a 1x12 for live purposes (i play rhythm and sparingly). Looking at the Egnater Rebel 112. Seems like it can handle the wattage, the ohm thing confuses me. Will...

I'm trying to downsize my live rig without breaking the bank. Don't really want to haul around my 4x12 Cab, but don't really want to buy a combo or an expensive 2x12 cab, would like to stay playing through the JCM2000. I was thinking of the Egnator 1x12, it says it's rated for 30 Watts. Is this...

Hello....I'm in the process of upgrading my PT setup. Currently using an older MacBook Pro and Firewire 1814. Getting a newer Imac with FW 800 and Thunderbolt ports. I'm assuming I can use my FW1814 interface that I currently have (with a FW800 to 400 adapter) but want to upgrade to an interface...

I made the mistake (long ago) of buying speakers that aren't matched well for my Mackie 808m powered mixer, JBL Sf25. I'm trying to figure out my best move to try and get vocals to cut through more than they are now. To be clear, this isn't for a club or gigs, strictly for rehearsal, but it...

I'm having trouble with overheads being too hot when recording. I'm using a Firewire 1814 interface and 2 ADK Sc-1's powered by an M-Audio DMP3 pre. As I stated, I'm running these into the line level inputs with the gain all the way down on the pre, yet the levels are still clipping. Any ideas...

So out of nowhere tonight I'm going to record some tracks, go back in to do some punching, highlight the area I want to punch in, rewind for pre-roll, and when I hit record instead of playing and then punching in where the highlight starts, it begins recording immediately. Help?!

I'm new at messing around with the HP filter thing....I'm using ADK SC-2 SDC for overheads, running them through an M-Audio DMP3 which has a Low Cut 75 Hz option. Question: My mics also have HP filters, 75 or 150hz. If I engage the Low cut on the pre-amp should I still use the HP on the mics too?

I'm starting this as a new thread but it's really a continuation of "consistent freezing" thread from a few days ago. I've been getting DAE error around the same point in a song when recording drums. 6 tracks (2 oh, 2 tom, snare, kick). Never had any problems before, but changed the room...

Had my drummer down today to redo a drum track and out of the blue am getting the "not getting data fast enough" or whatever message. Every once in awhile this happens but now it's happening every single time. The crazy thing is that it keeps happening within 3 seconds of the same place, about...

Need some serious help here....when I opened my song file I noticed one small punch in track was missing...looked in audio files for it, wasn't there. Went to recovered files, there it was. How do I copy or move that small file back to where I need it? Obviously I can't open the 2 files at once...

I have a Firewire 1814 interface and I need to be able to use 3-4 headphones, the unit only provides 2 outputs. So, if I get a headphone mixer would I connect it by line out from the headphone mixer to one of the output jacks on the interface?

I'm using 2 ADK small condenser mics for overheads but I have a problem. I'm running all of my other mics (snare, kick, toms) into a Mackie mixer, but when I run the overheads through there there isn't enough gain (I guess) in the pre's to push them enough. I tested one through the Mackie with...

Here's my situation.....I have M-Powered Pro Tools with a Firewire 1814. Decent mics (Shure 52, 57's, I-5).....running through a Mackie board and/or UA 610 solo preamp. I have been able to get really good home recordings with this setup, better than some cheaper studios I've been to. I'm...

Tonight I was transferring a song folder from my external hard drive onto my laptop (it's a long story). In the middle of the transfer I decided not to do it tonight so I hit stop. The folder still transferred to my desktop so I put it in the trash and the icon was still on the external hard...

I have a Macbook Pro 10.4.11, using M-Powered Pro Tools and Firewire 1814 interface. All sorts of problems lately to where I basically can't use it anymore and I haven't gotten any answers that have fixed it on here (yet). So....thinking that inevitably I will need to rethink my setup and get...

I've been hearing a lot about Carbonite lately, but haven't heard anything about using it to back up studio stuff. I use Pro Tools and store my files on an external hard drive, but I had a nightmare awhile back when it crashed and I lost all of my files that were on it. Luckily I had the songs...

I have a Macbook Pro that I'm running M Powered PT through with an 1814 interface. The Mac only has one firewire port and I used to get by by daisy-chaining the external hard drive and interface to the computer but for some reason it isn't working anymore. From what I gather I just need to get...

Running M Powered Pro Tools 7.3 with a Firewire 1814 interface and G Drive ext hard drive. I've suddenly began having problems with it freezing up during tracking. I'm only doing 1 track at a time and I'm not even getting the "can't get DAE fast enough etc..." message...just the spinning...
