Hobbyist here. I have been using a PC (with an Audigy sound card) for years and recording with Cubase. I have a MacBook Pro and was considering switching my setup over to that. However, I can't seem to find reliable information on a hardware. I already have a preamp that I like (Studio Projects...

Hello all. I finally upgraded to a Core Duo Quad with 4gb of RAM. Very excited to record at 96k 24bit in Cubase SX. So, things were going well until I add some plugins to the mix (mostly instances of Amplitube 2), and it started stuttering. I fediddled with my latency and other settings, made...

I have an Audigy (I know, I know - they upsample), with a single 1/4 input in the front (along with MIDI, optical, etc.). I would like to record 2 tracks at once (acoustic guitar, 2 mics). Any ideas? Can I use an adapter to go from the second mic into an 1/8 male, plug that into the Audigy mic...

Thanks guys, I've been using Cubase for some time, but am only now going about recording a full record. I have 2 GB of RAM in a 2.6 GhZ PC - what bitrate, etc. (project settings) should I record at to get the best possible sound without "overdoing it" (as in, "any higher and I won't notice a...

I apologize. This thread posted twice. I always have problems with this messageboard. ADMIN, please delete.

Given my needs, would it be silly to pay more for the better kit? I live in a residential area and have to do most of my recording after 1 AM. I'm a perfectly capable, experienced drummer who hates hand-programming MIDI drums. So, my intention is to MIDI-out from a V-Kit, run the info through...

Hey all, I am recording guitars direct into my interface, boosting the signal and adding a bit of tube warmth with a Studio Projects VTB1 Preamp. I use Amplitube 2 for post-recording guitar modeling. I need advice on exactly how loud the "raw" guitars should be recorded. When I record guitars...

Hello friends, I need another SM57, and figured, since I'm here all day anyway, I'd try this before going out to buy one. I'm willing to trade, and have a TON of guitar gear - electric, acoustic, bass, accessories, gig bags, novelty items (like a Danelectro HoneyTone battery-powered...

I tried to post this with more content but I kept getting an error... Attempting to record midi tracks with a Roland V-Kit and run it thru DKFH/EZDrummer I'm about to try this for the first time today. Should I expect any sort of problems with this? Will the MIDI assignments from the V-Drums...

Hey there, I've always used my home setup for jotting down ideas, etc. and recently bought some better gear - I am about to attempt some real recordings. I did a lot of research into bit rates/sample rates, and did a search on here that resulted in my doing about 2 hours of straight reading. So...

:confused: I have a Roland XP-30 and Cubase SX 3. I managed to get Cubase to recognise the XP30 through downloading a 3rd party XML file, and my MIDI-in works fine. However, when I pull down my track's MIDI-out, it gives me XP-30 [NOT CONNECTED]. In the MIDI device manager, the XP-30 isn't in...

I've gotten some of my best gear through trades. I'm looking to get rid of some of my guitar gear, and am attempting to build up my home recording setup. Here's a list of some things off the top of my head I'm willing to trade. If you want history, pics or details, let me know! For Trade...

Hypothetically, for someone on a serious budget, primarily for powering a condenser mic. I know there's a lot of experience on this board and a lot of knowledge to be gained by a noob like me before I go out and waste money. ...and by "hypothetically," I mean "me" :p

Obviously if you buy crap cables, you get crap results. On the other hand, mogami/monster is through-the-roof expensive. Do you find that there is enough difference between middleground $ and top $ cable to justify the spending?

As you can see from my first thread, I'm relatively new to this, and am only now building a small home studio. I have a few questions that I can't seem to find the answers to by poking around. 1.) What exactly does "balanced" cable do/what's the difference between unbalanced?/when is it...

Hey! My name is Matt, I'm 26 and from Philly, and I've been a professional musician since I was about 21. I've spent a good deal of time in the studio, but am only now attempting to build a somewhat-decent home studio with a limited budget. This is what I currently have. - AKG Perception 200...
