A friend came over to show me some of his cubase projects. He didn't change any settings, but ever since he's left, I can't edit effect settings with the number pad. For example, if I want to change my delay time from 200ms to 77ms, I can't do it by simply typing "77" with my numpad. Instead...

I need your advice... I've never been into fender style basses; but to be fair, I had never really given them a shot. I had always played Ibanez and I liked the fuller more round sound (that I thought was an Ibanez quality). Now, I realize you can get all that and more from a musicman (or many...

I've 'gotten' into the nasty habit of double tracking all main vocal parts. It sounds good, and that's the most important reason why I do it, but I feel like I've become a bit complacent. Besides, once you start double tracking everything, it all starts sounding the same. To be clear, what I...

I posted a thread in the recording techniques, but I'm specifically interested in getting answers from cubase users. Originally, I did not allow punch ins for drum tracking. It feels unnatural, and if not done properly, it ends up being more work than doing it the right way; practicing your...

When it comes to recording drums, I'm more of a purist/traditionalist. My drummer just recorded a session for some friends at a studio that appeared to be well equipped and managed. He told me that the way they tracked his drums was as follows: 1) 3 takes all the way thru 2) Record fills...

I recently created a monster machine (well, sort of) but something went wrong. Here are the specs: Gigabyte K8 Triton motherboard AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ 2.21 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM Windows XP Home RAID 0 using two 300 SATA drives To make a long story short, I've been having problems with...

I recently upgraded my computer to the following: Gigabyte K8 Triton motherboard AMD 64 Processor 1 gig of RAM Prior to upgrading, cubase would "lock" up during a session. I have to Echo Laylas synchronized via word clock. The song would be playing and all of sudden I'd get a loud...

I think it's time I upgrade at least the essentials of my computer. Here's what I have: AMD Processor, I think its the x1700, but the speed fo' sure is 1.67ghz KT400 Dragon Ultra (Soyo) 512 ram (ouch!) drives and accessories are fine and don't need replacement. The reason why I feel I...

I purchased an ADL600 several three weeks ago. I have several beefs, not particularly about the unit, but about how to integrate that unit with my existing setup. Here's my (relevant) stuff: Mackie 24-8 (2) Echo Laylas Cubase SX DBX 166 Problem 1: Monitoring. My home studio has two iso...

My computer is starting to age. It's about time to retire. Up until now, my brother's been customizing my computers. He's now advised that it is no longer worth it. He says i should just go with Dell or Alienware (or whatever); they'll make what I want for cheap + warranties. I think I'm...

I've been working cubase for several years now. I'm currently recording my band and our drummer keeps on bugging me about tracking section by section, eventhough there aren't any breaks between those sections. As far as I'm concerned, you can't really punch in/out unless there's some sort of...

I just purchased and plugged in my new ADL600. I guess I wanted a magic machine that would make everything sound great. But, once I snapped back into reality, I realized that what it was doing, i.e., open up the sound, expand the audio field, increase fidelity, was sufficient and well worth...

I've spent all morning researching this question on this forum, but all I've read is gossyp! =) So here's my lingering question: I have a mackie 24-8. I think the strip is more than descent, even though many would jump at the opportunity to disagree. In fact, I'd dare say that I really like...

hi all, has anyone used adobe audition? I've never heard of this program, nor do I know of anyone who has used it. My singer, who is less than recording proficient, swears by it. I logged on to Adobe and read briefly on it, but i don't the reading was objective. Thanks.

Clearly, wiring isn't my thing. I feel like such a moron, but here it goes: I bought mogami snake cable. Eeach cable has shield, hot, and cold. Each XLR connector on my panel has 3 pins, PLUS a 4th one beneath the pins. Questions: Mogami cable has loose "wire" surrounding [what I presume...

Ok, so I'm now at the point where I need to figure out what I'm doing for windows. I went to my local Ace hardware store and was floored at how expensive plain glass is. I figured that if Milgard can put out a tempered double pain window for $200, surely the glass alone has to be considerably...

I ran a search on this forum, but for some reason it hasn't been functioning. I apologize if this topic has recently been covered. That said, my studio has been framed and now I need to start wiring. Any particular brand recommended? I like mogami, but since I'm in Orange County (CA)...

Hello All, I'm sure many of you have experience making absorption panels. I have a rough idea, but can anybody give a brief crash course on materials and method? I need to make panels and bass traps. Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to help my guitarist create a setup that makes sense for our situation. he currently owns a GT6 effects processor and a Line 6 combo amp (without an effects loop) and the new Line 6 Spider half stack, which odes not have an effects loop either. The basic idea is that we want to be...
