    Edirol UA-5 Audio Interface

    I'm thinking of getting one of these - can anyone vouch for their performance (I'm thinking about the preamps in particular). I want to record vocals, guitar into my PC AND also into my G4 Powerbook Mac. I figure this can do both from reading the blurb, anyone here know otherwise?

    Missing MIDI port on my motherboard !!

    I have an Asus Nforce motherboard, which I bought to replace an older one that got fried by freak fan failure. The old one had a fully working midi port, worked with all my software straight out of the box. The new one (same board except mini ATX) only seems to have a Midi out driver. Under...

    Is there a visual aid to mixing?

    I don't have great monitors or good room acoustics so I was thinking is there a plugin or someting I can get that will show me graphically exactly what my mix is doing across the frequency spectrum. For example, I might SUSPECT that my bass guitar and kick drum are overlapping and creating mud...

    pc too noisy - extension cable for mic?

    I want to record vocals into my PC, but the fan/power supply noise is too great. Can I get an extension cable for my mic and run, say, 15f in to the next room and record from there? Are there any issues with signal degradation etc? Thanks

    Virus C or Supernova II...

    After literally months of patient research, I have wittled down my choice of a new synth to EITHER an Access Virus C (the latest version) OR the Novation Supernova II Rack. It will be used for sample based, beat oriented electronica of varying tempos - from Portishead/Massive Attack all the way...

    Korg Kaoss Pad as synth controller?

    Has anyone used one of these - I'm really keen to find new ways to control synth sounds to find new and exciting sounds. I thought maybe a Kaoss pad would let you get sounds from a MIDI synth that would be impossible with just knobs and faders. If anyone knows anything about these things I'd...

    Trakmaster for recording bass?

    Greets to all from sunny London, I have a Nuendo DAW and want to record bass guitar into it via my Hammerfall soundcard. I read that the Focusrite Trakmaster is a perfect channel strip for this, anyone know otherwise before I go and blow 200 sheckles? My main worry is not being able to do...

    MIDI effects for Nuendo????

    Cubase SX apparently has all these cool Midi plugion effects (panners, arpeggiatiors etc.) What about Nuendo users (Steinberg's 'flagship' prog). Can we get hold of these midi plugins too? Or do we have to go buy Cubase?

    Midi arpeggiator for VSTi's???

    I use Nuendo and I really need a plug-in Midi arpeggiator so I can get the best out of my Vst instruments (Pro-52, EVP73). Does anyone know one? Apparently Cubase SX comes with Midi Effects plugins that work just like regular inserts. Can Nuendo users also get hold of these, or do we have to...

    My Hammerfall don't wanna play!

    Just installed a brand new Hammerfall. Under Cubase, I select ASIO Digi9632 driver as instructed, but then I hear nothing during playback. If I switch to the ASIO Multimedia driver I can hear everything fine. Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong here?

    Help! Is my SB Live faulty?

    I just installed an SB Live and now all my Sound Forge recordings are accompanied by a chorus of loud crackles and distortion. I can't even sample off my CD drive cleanly! Anyone have a clue what's up here? In Nuendo, the recordings of my electric guitar are better, though still full of quiet...

    A Hammer Falls on my Midi plans

    I've about to buy an RME Hammerfall - I need MIDI to sync up my sequencer to my keyboard. SO should I buy a standalone Midi interface or a cheap SBLIVE Value or similar?

    Low and Inaudible frequencies....

    I record (mostly synths) directly into Cubase - however I read somewhere recently that instruments like basses and kicks carry a sweep of very low frequencies which, though inaudible, can push your mix into the red and therefore cause a reduction in volume when you lower your levels to...

    Best Motherboard for 1Ghz Athlon T-Bird?

    I'm about to put together a DAW based around Nuendo, I know the 1gig Athlon is the chip for me, but which board is best? I've heard that the Gigabyte7ZX owns (AMD shipped their demo T-Birds on it) but other people seem to think the Abit K7 is the board-of-choice for a DAW. Are there really big...

    Film - do i compress dialogue?

    I'm about to do my first sound mix for film - a 15minute short. I'm really confused about the best way to proceed. Should I run the dialogue and FX tracks through compressors and limiters? Or just the music? How much etc? Should I master the music completely, THEN bring it into the mix before...

    NUENDO - which PCI card???

    I'm looking at buying Nuendo VERY closely BUT I just ordered a Yamaha DSP Factory soundcard. According to the posts I've read, Nuendo can give 50+ audio channels on a fast PC, however the DSP Factory's onboard O2R mixer gives just 16! So am I wasting time/money on this card if I'm planning...

    Sound Forge: Cubase killer????!!!!!

    Hi, Having a bottom end system, I usually record my Roland XP80 workstation into my Soundblaster AWE64 Gold soundcard using Sound Forge, then trim the 'dead wood' from the beginning and end of the sample before importing it into Cubase VST 3.6. The results from Sound Forge are reasonable, the...
