Hey everyone, I was curious if anyone has any experience with the Roland Octa-Capture interface with Pro-Tools 10, Adobe Audition or just in general? I currently have an M-Audio Profire 2626, but it is firewire only and I would like to get away from firewire into USB which is slightly more...

So, Like a newb I went and upgraded my laptop and was looking at all the specs except for one, interfaces. I ended up buying a laptop and realized that it did not have any firewire port. FML. Now I am unable to connect my Profire 2626. I still can connect it to a desktop, but I need an option on...

Hey All, I am just curious if you find certain speaker configurations better for recording than others? If you had the exact same amp head for recording, but had the option between identical speakers in the cab, but between 1x12, 2x12, 4x12 configurations... what would you choose? Just curious...

I know that this question is fairly generalized and that what plugins you use will vary depending on projects, needs, desired sound, etc.... But I was just curious what some of your "favorite" and "go-to" Plugins (VST,RTAS, etc) are. What do you prefer for compression, EQ, reverb, etc... Also...

Hey All, I was just curious if anyone uses or has used guitar rig 4 for recording purposes. I have a fairly crappy Crate 1x12 (50 watt I think) amp (sorry for the vagueness, can't remember the specific model as I am not at my house). I am not a fan of the tone I get from the amp and was...

I've been using Adobe Audition for quite some time now. However, I have been getting fed up with some of its limited VST support and also am forced to use Pro Tools at school. I am thinking about switching from Audition to either Sonar, Cubase, or Pro Tools. I was leaning towards Sonar or...

Hey everyone, I was just curious if you guys reuse choruses when recording a full song. Basically, after you record the first chorus, do you use the exact same material for the second chorus (sure you may add different harmony or something), but do you reuse the same instrumental recording...

Hey Everyone, I am in need of a mic for studio purposes for recording electric. I have heard much talk between SM-57's and Sennheiser e906's, but I have always considered those to be more for live than studio. Is this true? What mics do you prefer, do you have examples? I am willing to spend...

Hey Everyone, I have worked on recording some of my tunes in my home studio and was wondering if I could get your impressions of the songs. One thing I do know I have to do is redo vocals on "Coffee and Confusion". Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! You can here them at...

Hey everyone, I have started building a isolation booth in my basement in the hopes to get a room with little to no outside noise (i.e. furnace, computer noise, other random electronic buzzing, humming and whatever other ambient room noises one can think of) The basement is a cement floor with...

Hey Everyone, I am a music industry/Audio Engineering student right now and am hoping to eventually with my degree do audio for games or film in some way. I was wondering if anyone does any of that. I am interested in learning sound effects and design and constructing my own sound effects. Does...

Hey Everyone, I am going to be recording some electric guitar coming up and I am exploring the best techniques and methods for doing this. To my understanding, the best method is still to mic your cab. I was curious as to the best techniques for doing this? what volumes should you have your...

Hey everyone. I am not sure what section to put this in so I am putting it here, but I am working on creating my own midi tracks with EZDrummer. Right now I am using Reaper to run EZDrummer. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew how to track each part of the drumset (or mic used by EZDrummer)...

Hey Everyone, I have been normally a Adobe Audition kind of guy, but got Sonar 7 cause I have heard alot of good things about it. Its VERY different from Audition and I was curious if anyone know of videos or documentation on it. I am not looking for how to record/mix docs, but more so product...

Hey Everyone, I am using Adobe Audition and trying to use EZDrummer. I have installed EZDrummer and then launched Adobe and set my VST path the the EZDrummer.dll and then created a midi track, launched my sequencer and then tried to use the EZDrummer VST. Right when I select EZDrummer, Adobe...

Hey Everyone, I am sure this is the wrong thread to place this in, so if anyone knows which one to put it in, feel free to move it... Anyway, I am using a M-Audio Profire 2626 Audio Interface with Adobe Audition 3.0 and a SM57 Beta and KSM27 for my mics... I am receiving some random clicking...

Hey Everyone, I am looking at getting a new interface (fast track ultra or profire 2626) and was wondering if a preamp would also be a good purchase? I have read that with the fast track, you can have quite recordings and need to crank the gain up to get good levels (but adds noise) so I was...

Hey everyone, I have been looking at audio interfaces lately and have been looking at the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r. I would like to stay with a Pro-Tools compatible interface (though I am using Audition right now, I want the availability to upgrade) and want the 8 inputs to record drums...

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if someone of you guys could give me the basic functions and need for some of the equipment found in a studio rack? My first purchase I am doing is going to be for a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R Rack Audio Interface. However, I was curious if you could give me some...

Hey Everyone, I have been trying to get the best acoustic sound I can in my recordings, I was curious if anyone knew the techniques used to get GOOD stereo sounding acoustic guitar. In a lot of the acoustic songs I hear it sounds like certain strums take place in certain ears and you only hear...
