Hi, Apologies for the newb PT(9) question but I want to play an intro in free time and then have the click start after about 20 seconds. Is there a "best" way to do this, do I need to use regions or can I just delay the start of the click track? Thanks

I'm an ex-pro looking at home/semi-pro composing and recording after a long break from music. I've been hopping from foot to foot between Cubase 6 and Pro Tools 9 for a while now. Pro Tools because of Sibelius integration/industry standard/work flow/mixing plug ins blah blah. Cubase because of...

Anyone tried the Roland UA-1010 interface? As time moves on is there much difference these days between USB and Firewire? Thanks

OK - dumb newbie question. If I have two midi controllers and a firewire audio interface, will I connect them directly to the computer via USB or via the interface. Thanks.....

Simple question - are PT9 users with a "decent" computer and large VST instrument libraries (EW, Omnisphere, Ivory etc) REALLY having the huge VST/RTAS issues like I read online? If not, I'll be going with PT9 but if so - Cubase 6 or Sonar X1P it'll have to be. Thanks, Robert

I've been on this forum for a few months now trying to research a "best fit" new home studio setup for my needs. I'm starting from scratch having been out of the music business professionally for many years (studio musician, orchestrator, composer). I've spec'd up a fair beast of a machine to...

Apologies if this is a dumb question but I'm setting up a new home studio and trying to work out the best interface box. Since both my midi controllers have USB midi I assume I can plug these directly into the PC USB ports and therefore don't need midi in the interface box (?). I'm tossing up...

I'm about to commit to either a Cubase 6 or Pro Tools 9 platform for my new home studio. I've been away from pro music (in IT/software development) for many years so really starting again. I'll be recording very few live instruments (acoustic guitar and perhaps solo cello) and will use a number...

This is a slight twist on the PC/MAC question in regard to screens (i.e. I don't care about the allegiances, just want the best experience and value for money) I'm setting up a compact home studio from scratch and will be running Pro Tools, Sibelius and say 6 VST libaries (Trilian, OmniSphere...

I'm an ex-professional musician (piano, keys, guitars and arranging/composition) getting back into music after a long break and starting a home studio for instrumental composition and recording. Not really interested in live gigging any more so just need a good 88 weighted controller with great...

Hi, I'm new to the forum (obviously!) and plan to start a home studio from scratch this year. I had a 15 year professional music career as a studio musician (piano, keyboards, guitars), arranger/orchestrator and composer but have been away from it for nearly 20 years (in IT/business systems...
