    Splitting a live mutitrack session into separate song projects

    Just wondering how people go about this... after recording a live set I usually end up with 16 tracks about a couple of gigabytes each in size. I then want to work on each song in the session as a separate project. I usually set the start and end markers for the first song and for each of the...

    HD24 I/O question...

    When you plug an analogue input into the HD24, say for a channel1-8, is it naturally routed to the ADAT OUT(1-8)? And conversely, if you plug an ADAT cable into the ADAT IN for channels (9-16), is that routed to the analogue outputs for channels9-16? Cheers.

    MOTU CueMix question

    Just been reading the CueMix documentation for the 828mkII... The 828mkII supports up to four separate stereo monitor mixes assigned to any four digital or analog output pairs But if the device has 8 Analogue outs and a single 8 Channel ADAT out (16 channels, 8 output pairs), if you can only...

    OK, I'm thinking of linking up a Motu 8Pre, Moto 828Mkii and an HD24 using ADAT cables (without a computer in site) and I'm looking at all the ADAT Syncing/Word Clock connections on the devices... do I need to know anything about these or are they for syncing to older tape based ADAT devices...

    Motu 8Pre in Standalone mode

    Was just wondering what is sent to the Main L/R out of the 8Pre if it was working in standalone mode (in conjuction with an 828 mkii via ADAT) I assume with the PC software you can create any mix for the Main L/R out, but what happens in standalone mode? Also, is the standalone mixer of the...

    MOTUs as stand alone devices?

    I've an HD24 which I'm currently hooking up to an analogue mixer to record the band live in a rented room, but this uses about a ton of Insert cables so in the future it would be nice to utilise the 24 channels of ADAT I/O on the HD24 for nice and neat connections. I'm about to upgrade my...

    Web site for synth settings to emulate covers?

    I play piano in a mainly originals band, but as we know certain venues require those well known covers to keep the crowds happy... which normally means playing around with all those funny synth sounds (not really my bag) Just wondering if anyone knows a site which suggests settings...

    Firebox question (Recording dry vocals, but sending vocal verb to the headphone mix)

    Just wondering if this is possible with the Firebox without using an external mixer... Can you send to an external effects box and return to the Firebox, recording only the dry vocal but hearing the vocal verb and backing tracks in the headphone mix? Or does the Firebox have built in effects...

    Midi controller box for a dumb keyboard?

    I have a Roland A90 keyboard which weighs about 65 pounds and I'm tired of carrying it around! So I've been looking at compact light-weight soundless 88 key Midi keyboards (e.g. Fatar TMK88) to hook up to my sound module (XV2020) Only problem is I've been used to 64 user programmable...

    How many compressor channels in your rack?

    I've been having a few puzzlements going around in my head lately about the number of compressors I need and how to set them up... this is mainly a question for a live set up really, but would be handy to know for outboard mixing as well In my band everything comes out of the PA (vocals, guitar...

    Left Handed Piano!

    OK, I'm a southpaw! Lead with my left! But have been playing piano the same as everyone else for the last 15 years. It's never really been a problem, but my biggest weakness is the exceptionally fast Blues / Rock 'n Roll style'y which requires a lot of strength in the right hand. I know all the...

    Something missing from my mix... does is just need mastering?

    Something missing from my mix... does it just need mastering? Hey guys, I've spent the last few months mixing a few songs for our band and I'm really pleased with the result, mainly thanks to all the great tips from this place. Playing the CD through many stereo systems it seems to hold its...

    Sound module for drums... Roland XV series??

    I'm currently feeding my MIDI drums through a borrowed Roland TD7 sound module (from an electric drum kit) . The drums sound nice to me (better than my old Yamaha MU80 anyway) but I'm guessing the unit is at least 4-5 years old by now. I'm looking at the new Roland XV2020 or XV5050 sound...

    MIDI lag during recording

    Hi, I have just purchased V3.3 of n-track. I have set up two tracks, one to record the Audio from a keyboard and the other to record the Midi from the same keyboard at the same time. I am playing in time with n-track's metronome. After recording you can see a clear timing difference in the two...

    Cubasis and Hubi's MIDI Loopback...problem!

    Right, I've got my PC connected to a Direct Pro soundcard which in-turn is connected to a Tone Generator using a MIDI cable. In the sequencers n-track and Cubasis, I can select "Direct Pro" as my output MIDI port and the MIDI signals are happily transferred all the way to my Tone Generator. But...

    WAV Synchronisation... help!

    I've been working with MIDI for a while now and I feel quite at home with it (I've just been running an external tone generator from my PC) but now I wish to join the rest of you and create a CD. The next stage (I think) is to turn all my MIDI tracks into WAV files, mix them and finally produce...

    Firstly, I'm new to this forum so go easy on me!! I currently own a (oldish) Yamaha MU80 tone generator which is run by sequencing software on my PC. I've just stumbled over this page for Yamaha's latest soft-synth: http://www.yamaha.co.uk/xg/html/midplug/m_mid9.htm I know very little of...
