I don't know exactly where to post this question (so I did it here and in the Recording Techniques forum). Hopefully someone in here can help me. I am editing a video and need to import a song into the video. I have the song that I bought off iTunes. But I need the song to be shortened and...

I don't know exactly where to post this question (so I did it here and in the Cubase forum). Hopefully someone in here can help me. I am editing a video and need to import a song into the video. I have the song that I bought off iTunes. But I need the song to be shortened and edited a little. I...

Watching the Grammys last night, I saw a drummer (can't remember which one... think it was more of a jazz style) that was using a Sennheiser e609 on his snare drum. I have wondered before seeing that if that would work. Now seeing it last night, I am curious if any one has used that mic on their...

I really want to get some Mackie HR824's...a studio my band recorded in used them and they were awesome. But for about $600 a piece, I think I need to pass. Has anyone got any experience with the new MR8's that Mackie is putting out now. I assume it is the budget friendly version of the HR824...

I have imported audio into my Studio 4 numerous times and have never had this problem. I am completely stumped... I have a .wav file that I am trying to import in and make some adjustments to. I have played the file on both Windows Media Player and iTunes. Both play fine. But when I import it...

I am getting a lot of ring out of my snare and it is definitely picking up on my recordings. This is somewhat of a new problem... I have been recording for years and don't remember this in the past. So I have no idea what I am doing now that is causing it. I read somewhere that tuning a bottom...

I have been recording acoustic for a little while now and am just curious if there are some better suggestions for what I am doing. Currently I use a MXL 604 and an AKG C1000. I put the MXL right by the persons pick hand and point it towards the brige. Then I take the C1000 and put it about 6 or...

Just curious about this... I was watching a 311 concert on tv last night and could swear I saw the drummer using a pair of Sennheiser e609's for his overhead mics. I haven't seen dynamic mics used too often for overheads let alone that particular mic. Although, aparently it worked. Has anyone...

Some one please help me... I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am trying to use the FX sends in Studio 4 for the first time. Usually I just insert all my FX on each track, but that was really slowing down my maching. So I was told to use the sends. So I set up an FX track for reverb. Then I...

I know what phase means when recording. I understand what it does if things are out of phase an all that. But my question is...and this may be dumb... is what is the importance of getting it right when tracking if I can just go in and reverse phase in the program. Does that not accomplish the...

Another question for you Cubase pros. I have always recorded in 16 bit because I know that is the format you need to burn on to a cd. Is it better to record in 24 bit and with a higher sample rate and then dither down (I think thats the right term)? If so, how do I go about getting it from...

I want to insert some delay on a vocal track I did and tried using the mono delay, but don't see how to set the delay time to match up with the tempo of the music. I see there are presets for time, but that doesn't necessarily match up with the exact tempo does it? I recorded in a studio where...

Anybody have some tricks up there sleeve for this? I have been recording my drums for a while. Over the past few years, I have really worked out decent sounding snare, toms, and cymbols. But for some reason, the kick is the one thing I just can't get happy with. I have tried all kinds of tricks...

I recorded some songs for a guy recently and noticed with the final mix that some of his vocal notes hit some lows that sounded really muffled. For the most part, the vocals were clear and sounded great. But every once in a while he hit a low note that really jumped out on the subs. I tried...

I am trying to get a better bass sound and am having some trouble. I am relatively new to recording so I might be missing the obvious. For a while, I was recording direct into my FirePod and using Cubase Studio 4 as my software. The bass was coming out kind of weak. I tried EQ and compression...
