    sounding further?

    Hello all, Not sure if I can explain this correctly.... I have a pretty good mix going, but one instrument, a piano that plays the melody, sounds way to "close up". Since it's the melody, it needs to stand out, but how do I make it sound further back? Almost like I want to step about 10ft...

    003 rack to Mac, no audio input

    Hi! I seem to be having trouble getting audio input (my guitar, voice, synth) from my 003 rack into my Mac (Version 10.11.1, El Capitan operating system). I believe everything else is working properly and have narrowed it down to this. So, any thoughts? It worked perfectly in the past...

    Too robotic

    Hi, I'm wondering how to make my songs a little less robotic like, in regards to the rhythm. When I record a track (like piano), I never quite play it perfectly, then I quantize it, and it makes it way better, but almost too perfect where it sounds like a robot, know what I mean? What's the...

    Hello, I record an audio track - it shows the audio wavelength on the track from the recording, but I can't hear it when I'm recording, and I can't hear the playback. Plus, protools only seems to recognize the track when I solo it (it doesn't recognize it when other tracks are playing)...
