    I just had a revelation

    File -> New ... choose CD quality (16bit), make it about 5 minutes long File -> Save As ... make the file name "24bit" and change "file attributes" to "24 bit, stereo" click Save when you want to record a new 24bit file, File -> Open ... and open the 24bit.wav file Record as necessary. File...

    Installing Sound Card

    this is covered in the manual ... check under "hardware installation" :) but, yes, any available PCI slot will do ... and before you remove the soundcard from the static bag, touch the metal power supply case in your PC to discharge any static electricity.

    I just had a revelation

    For the record, you CAN record at 24bits with goldwave ... that option just doesn't appear in the new file dialog window. What you do is save a bit of silence as 24bit, and then use that as the base wav for recording new songs. It worked pretty well for me, anyway. I finally upgraded to...

    updated new tune....

    nice tune ... I like the doubletime feel you go into at 2:32! I have a hard time understanding the words ... not really because of his accent, or because he's too quiet ... but because of the lack of presence and a little muddiness in the signal ... I'd pull out a little around 200-300 hz on the...

    30' midi cables

    I'm in the process of redesigning my control room and where I would really like to place my synths would require me to use some pretty long midi cables (I'd have to run them around the room perimeter). I'm using Sonar as my sequencer, but triggering the sounds in the synths. Do you think that...

    Acapella recording

    Hi guys I've got a date coming up where I'm going to record about 10 singers. It's going to be a remote session (6 hour drive, ugh ... long story), so it'll be straight to 2 track. I can probably come up with a mic config that will work out OK ... but I wanted to bounce this off you guys to see...

    Dad's Recordings

    I echo TrackRats remarks ... go straight into your soundcard to get the cleanest signal you can going in. I don't think you'll need a compressor much, but I guess it depends on the program material. I can say that you'll increase hiss a bit no matter what compressor or settings you use. I'd...

    I'm over compressing...how do I know when to stop?

    "They're louder, but I end up with a hissing noise. " It sounds like your doing most of your compression after you laid down your tracks ... try to compress before, if you need to. This will give you a better signal going to tape. Like all processing, unless you have a specific need ... a...

    Wha Tha Faaak

    try changing the XT clock to DIG ... since you're using BRC, I don't think you can have both clocks set to internal. Give it a shot anyway ... I remember having this same problem a while back. From what you describe, it sounds exactly like what happened to me ... and changing the adat clock...

    Marshall Electronics Mics - Beware

    I figured that from his post. But, what a great post to add to a thread that basically calls all Marshall mics into question ... huh? I'm glad he posted it again. Some folks may have missed the first one (myself included ... trying to think what I was doing in Jan2001 ... it's all a blank)...
