I haven't been on this site for a while. You might know something I don't, but I called the Cubase home office ( 1-818-6785100) and it's been disconnected. I'm trying to install my Cubase SX 1.04 on my Mac and I keep typing in my serial number and it won't let me install my software (that I've...

Both speakers are giving me the problem. I don't think it has anything to do with the cables. It accepts both unbalance and balanced cables. I think I'm going to try using 1/4" TSR cables. I didn't have this problem when I used TSRs. I don't know. I would just hate to spend an additonal $600 to...

Please don't tell me that I've blown my monitors. Whenever I run my Event monitors for more than about 15 minutes above 3 on the input sensativity dial, I start to hear a crackle. It's not a thud usually associated with blown speakers, but a crackle. I admit that I probably shouldn't be running...

Now you guys are talking my language (cheapese) ... Butler building, $3,000 slab ... Actually, I had thought of a steel building but I thought everyone on the list would think I was crazy if I mentioned the option. Please keep me informed as to your progress on your studio. It's the kind of...

From my question, you'll come to the correct conclusion that I'm new at home recording and studio construction. But it's become apparent that if I'm going to continue with my home recording obsession, I'm going to have to construct my own (and hopefully inexpensive) studio. I live in an area of...

Hello Listers: Does any know of a good site/on-line article/free download concerning tour management? I know this sounds like a pipe dream, but someday I would like for our band to tour regionally in the Midwest. That is, after getting some attention from our on-line album (which is still a...

Any suggestions on how to clean monitor cones. I have a pair of Event Project Studio 8s (They're the best!) and they have become dusty over the last few months. What is the best way to clean them? I've been thinking of using the cleaning wipes that I use to clean my computer screen and keyboard...

Okay, Here's one for the "stupid question" file. I have Event 8s powered by a Delta 1010 that I use with my Mac G4 and Cubase software. However, I've heard that you should listen to your mix through various number of sources, such as a boom box, car CD player, home stereo, etc., in order to...

Does anyone know of a free Mac CAD site? I just want the basics so I can design a studio layout.

That appears to be what i've been looking for! That appears to be what I've been looking for. I've had a similar idea for a studio but hadn't quite seen anything that really suited my needs. Keep me informed and keep posting updates. I'm really interested in this studio. If you can, email me...

can anyone tell me where I can find a site (which I believe) is called "something" radio.com. It's a site for independent musicians. thanks framos

Okay, here's a stupid question for ya'll. A have a Mac G4, Cubase VST 32 v.5, a Delta 1010, mic pres, Event 8 monitors and assorted other equipment. I've just started learning about multi-track recording and I've noticed at some of the pics that several people use double displays. I have a...

First of all, don't let anyone put any of that crappy duct tape on the heads. Some drummers go so far as to put a ball of cotton and then tape it down with duct tape, thinking that will improve the sound of the heads. We call those "Drummer's Tampons." JUST DON'T DO IT!!!! It makes the heads...

Hello: I have a friend that is about to join the home recording crowd. However, he's only interested in recording song ideas and acoustic guitar stuff with uncomplicated vocals. The little I know about home recording is multi-track and involves gear like Delta's 1010, Event 8s, etc. He's more...

Help! I'm in Texas and I have a song that is 8mb of MP3 and 7:30 minutes long that I want to send to a friend and collaborator in Indianapolis. I tried my email service but it wouldn't handle a file that large. (And besides, he wouldn't have been able to open a file that large any way). I have...
