Ok everyone, i am a jack of all trades, master of drums (at least i like to think so). I'm running protools le 8, audix mics on my set and a Digi003R+. Ok, the problem is that i just can't find an overhead setup that i like. The XY doesn't have the width that i want. I really like the sound...

Hey everyone, i have protools 8, new intel iMac and a digi 003R+ which is daisy chained off a Maxtor One Touch 4 Plus (MAC>DRIVE>DIGI). I am getting horrible popping noises when playing back in protools. I have about 14 tracks running with 2 - 4 plugins on each. After all this popping pro...

I have a 003R+ with Protools 8 and im running a casio midi keyboard. I've recently recorded all the guitars for a song. I then went to put midi piano over it using Protools Mini Grand plug in. The Piano sounds sharp and doesn't blend well with the music. I have checked the guitars and they are...

Hi everyone! I have the new intel imac with the FW800, a digi003R+ and I have just added a maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 500GB firewire 400 drive to the setup. It is setup as iMac>drive>003+ Ok, so the drive works fine, BUT, if i havent used the drive for 30 seconds and then i go to hit record, the...

I have a digi 003+R, its brand new out the box, i've plugged it into my brand new Intel Imac (definitely Compatible according to digidesign website) via the appropriate firewire card. I've undergone the installation, but as protools starts up, it says, unable to locate digidesign hardware. Make...

Hi guys, i have a few questions. Last night I recorded at the Music and Audio Institute here where i live in Auckland City. I recorded on a Protools HD setup. The sound engineer did some things which surprised me because I myself usually wouldn't do what he did. 1) He panned the overheads...

Hi there, i just purchased a digi 003+ Rack, M Audio BX5a Deluxe monitors, A Studio Projects C1, the Audix DP7 mic pack and an Imac 20". I am about to set up my home studio. I was wondering if you could offer advice on; 1) Where to set up instruments (ie drums) and the recording gear 2) How...

Hey everyone, i am upgrading my Microphone set. At the moment i have an Shure SM57 and the Shure MGDPK6 pack for recording my drums. I want some microphones of higher quality as i wasn't happy with these microphones. Can anyone suggest some for under 1500 that can also be used for micing...

I have a Phonic Helixboard 18 MKII (firewire) I am running 8 Shure mics (6 dynamic and 2 condensors) through the XLR inputs. I have the gain on each channel at about 1/4 of the way. Any further and both Cubase SX3 and the desk tell me that the signal is clipping. Once i actually record...

I wondered if any of those who are more experienced engineers can guide me on EQing. It would be great if you could include information on Drums (Kick, Snare, Toms, Cymbals), Bass Guitar, Rhythm Guitar and Vocals. I know that different EQing depends on the sound your after, but it would be...

Hi everyone, I have got loads of plug in effects (VST) on my Cubase SX3. I use to be able to preview them before i applied them to my tracks. Now when i press preview, theres no sound. I can play tracks in the normal view window with all the tracks lined up, but i can't preview the effect. Also...

Does anyone know of any good monitoring headphones that are a good deal that block out enough external noise? Ive got a pair of Vic Firth SIH1's which are really good, but i need another couple of pairs and i bought the Vic Firths in the UK (we don't have them in NZ). Is a closed back...

Hi everyone, i'm relatively new to home recording. I have Cubase SX3, and a Phonic HelixBoard 18 Firewire MK2 running on Windows XP. Everything seems to be running fine except the multitracking. If i am recording my drums (8 inputs) and i have 8 tracks up, does Cubase just automatically...

Hey guys, what do you think is better out of the two of these interfaces? Give your reasons as why to you think. They are both $400 US. Also, if you have either these, let us know what you think of them. Thanks James

Hi everyone. I am completely new to home recording. I am pretty good with computers, and have a bit of knowledge to do with recording as my uncle owns a 48 track analogue studio. I have just bought a 3Ghz, 1Gb of Ram, Pentium 4 with 120Gb of Harddrive space. It is running Windows XP Home...
