    Bought a Rode NT-1

    Just wondering if there's any danger in leaving it permanently hooked up on mic stand in the open with the phantom power turned on. I never know when I'm going to use it next so I hate having to remove it from the cupboard, unwrap it and set it up just to do vocals. Can I just leave it set up...

    Techno Acoustic

    How's that for a different music category.. :) Done on a Mac G3 using Cubase. All instruments are done on the Mac except the acoustic guitar. The background ambience is actually an earlier song that's been munged and faded together but it seems to fit. Would really like to get some...

    Faster Processor & More Ram = Less speed?

    I don't get it. I've been running Cubase VST for a couple of years on a 233mhz processor, 128mb RAM machine and it's been working great. I upgraded a few months ago to 320mg of RAM and noticed that the CPU indicator would light up more often. This week I upgraded to a 466mhz, G4 Processor and...

    Sounds like crap on speakers/good on headphones

    I've got a tune I'm trying to mix and it seems to sound fine on a pair of headphones. As soon as I put it on speakers, it sounds dead. I know it needs mixing and EQing and was hoping somebody would have some suggestions. http://s93744050.onlinehome.us/mp3/XanaMoogFullMix.mp3 The vocals still...

    Muting/Deadening sampled toms

    Any tricks for muting sampled tom sounds on drum machines? Whenever I used to record in the studio, we'd put pads on the toms to deaden them. With samples, most of the time they're recorded straight without any padding. Are there any tricks to altering sampled sounds so that they sound more...

    Need suggestions for last verse

    I think I've got this almost done.... but the last verse is killing me. If I add full out vocals it overpowers the string synth sound. So here I took the first verse and repeated it as a 'radio' sound. Does this work? (keep in mind it's for tv/film use, and not top 40 stuff) Any suggestions...

    Is it the sound card?? *audio clip*

    My vocalist is using a Shure SM58, thru a Behringer mixer using Cubase on a PC. The sound comes out really thin and harsh sounding. I've tried EQing and using a tube compressor but it still sounds thin no matter what I do. She's also tried singing closer to the mic, but as you can see from...

    Introduction letter

    When you send a CD to a college radio station or send a demo basically anywhere.... how do you compose your introduction letter? I know enough to send a biography, press quotes and band photo, but how do you introduce yourself in a letter without sounding like some vain goofball, or repeat one...

    Vocals to midi?

    Has there ever been anything invented that will allow you to sing a simple melody into a microphone and convert it to midi notes? I'm talking about some kind of VST Plug-In for Cubase... where I could just hum a few notes, have it detect what the notes are and record convert them to midi...
