I get a delay from the time I hit the key to the time the instrument triggers. Anybody had a similar issue or know how to fix it. I am running Vista, Ableton 7, and an M-Audio 49e USB right to the computer. If you can help me you rock in advance.

I did this song a while back using only 58's to record because that is all I had. http://www.boomtaprecords.com/ng2.mp3 I borrowed mics from my friend, and just wrote and recorded this on Sunday. The drums are much better. http://www.boomtaprecords.com/icoc.mp3 Now I just need to...

I have moved up to a two screen system thanks to my new dual head video card I picked up for $20.00. I was pretty proud of myself until I went over to my friends house, and he has 3 screens. Now I am jealous.

Can this be done?

I went online to computer geeks, and picked up a removable bay, and 3 trays for under $20.00. Sweeeet. Can't wait to slap HD's in these baby's.

Ok, so I posted a thread about cheap (free) plugins, and I found some, downloaded them, and smack...we have a computer down. Note to self: never hook your recording pc to the net, and always download free plugs to a machine with good active virus protection, scan and clean those before...

I want that airy vocal sound. I know that mics are a big part of that, but is there some great plugs that I might check out that are ecspecially nice on vocals?

I always do a car check with my music before I call a mix complete. Anybody have any good suggestions of mixing setups that allow you to get a simulated auto sound without draging a disk out to the car.

I was listening to Foo Fighters new album, and on the Acoustic disc there is a song where they use the low C on the piano to accent the kick drum hit, and it absolutly makes my liver quiver. I had never thought of doing something like that before.

This is what I am working with: Cement basement, low ceilings. Vegas 3.0 on a 900mhz machine, standard pluggins with the 3.0. 2 Delta 44 cards. Drums were are Pacific kit with Evans Hydrolics, and Titanium cymbols, a 58 on the snare and a 58 on the kick as well as a pair of Oktava 012's for...

http://tloveland.com/VGP/files/mariopiano2.wmv My brother-in-law passed this on to me, and it made me laugh and remember the countless hours I sat with blistered thumbs listening to this while trying to save the princess.

This forum has convienced me to keep using Vegas. The quesition is, from Vegas 3 to Vegas 6 are there signifigant changes that I will actually use that don't involve the video (that I don't use at all)? What is the real diffrence? I am just trying to decide where my money is best spent, a...

In todays declining adat market, what should I pay for a BRC?

Back in the late 80's I know that DW pedals were considered great, but I went shopping and noticed some other pedals that seemed nice. Any thoughts on a good quality smooth playing double kick pedal?

Anybody tried to clean one of these, or can they even be cleaned? I have one where 2 faders are giving me grief.
