Hi, I'm using 1.2. Convert all files to 32 bit when loaded is checked. All waves recorded in 16 bit. I've been thinking. If Cep converts the waves back and forth from 16 to 32 and back whenever I work on them in the edit view then save after, wouldn't this constant conversion degrade the...

Hi guys. I am a self confessed lower than shoe string recordist. Been using the onboard sound on my mobo for a while, was happy with the results. But I needed midi capability. So I try hooking up an Xwave sound card ( made by yamaha ). It installs like a breeze. No problems at all. But whenever...

Hey guys, Just bought a new Burner. Just wanted to know the best way to hook up that IDE cable. I have a single 40 gigger on the 1st IDE socket and the CD ROM is slaved to it. 2nd IDE is empty. How do guys suggest I hook up the Burner to minimize burning mishaps and maximize data throwput...

Just a simple question about Shure's Sm-58 I just saw one in an "obscure" store. Is in a black and white box with the shure logos and packaging. Comes with a manual, shure clip and shure black pouch. It's made in Mexico. I'm thinking this is the SM-58LC without cord, but nothing about LC...

I've been intersted in the Ultragain Pro lately. I've read the PDF manual at Behringer's sight. It said something like you had to turn off all the other features, EQ's etc. except the Output control when using the 2200 as Direct Box. Isn't it possible or even better to use the EQ's when Direct...

Hi, I just turned senior. And I still feel like a newbie. Anyway here's a list of guys in the BBS who for me always seem to be right. So all newbies like me, learn from them. When you see these names. Remember them. 1. Slackmaster 2000 2. Blue Bear 3. The Real Deputy Gidge ( the mistakble...

I've been thinking dreaming of budget condensers for months now. Still saving. But I wonder if those "spiders" are really needed when recording. I thought only cheap mics like the SP B1 had them to cut costs. But I actually saw a TLM 103 and 414 "Bulls" using clips. So I'm confused. Some mics...

Hi folks, I have an old 424 used as mixer and pre when recording vocals, guitar and other line sources. I use the PC's onboard sound at the moment. My question concerns plans of getting a cheap condenser like SP B1 or MXL 2003. Should I buy a Behringer UB 1204 mixer and use it to replace my...

I read somewhere in the forum that I should always check all 32 bit options in CEP to avoid unnecessary conversions that degrade the mix. But I tried using 32 bit for default recording in settings, and CEP doesn't record. I checked the convert all opened files to 32 bit and no problems. My sound...

I've been using 1.2 for some time, almost know it completely. But I have an itch to go for 2.1. My system is 800 mhz Duron, 256 DD ram, 40 gig HDD- partitioned 20 for system, 20 for audio. Would upgrading to 2.1 cripple my PC. I plan to do 24 tracks. I am interested in Realtime effects but...

Hi there, I'm using Cool edit as multitracker on a Duron PC . I'm using Reality as a synth on a 233 PC. I record the synth via 233's out into the Duron's ins. As simple as it gets. But is there an easier way to record the synth using 2 soundcards on the Duron only. I'm planning to use the...

This seems like a simple problem perhaps you all have come across. Whenever I try to record a wave block before another wave block on the same track, it doesn't record. If I put the new recording after the recorded wave block it records fine. Why does this happen and how do I work around it. Thanks.

Hi there Slack, I just wanted to ask you what setup you used to record "Crawling with the Ants". It's the best sounding MP3 I've ever heared anywhere. Sounds like a Regular CD. I couldn't believe I was actually hearing it. I've been thinking of purchasing minimal budget studio gear to get the...

Hi guys, Many of you guys post about how to get good distorted guitar tones. I've had succes dialing the tone I'd like to record using the miced method and the amp direct out method. The only thing that makes the sound crappy is the loud hummmmm that increases as I crank the gain. So what's the...

Hello N-trackers, just tried out the demo. Just wanted to ask if WDM drivers put more load on the cpu than Direct sound drivers. Also, do the wdm drivers give you clearer sound, wider dynamic range compared to MME and direct sound drivers? It seems the wdm drivers prevent me from running more...
