I am working on a song that is kinda folky/poppy in style and to keep things simple I recorded a mono bongo track for it using 1 SM58. I have no idea how to pan it - in the middle it just doesn't sound right to me, neither does copying it and putting the 2 differing degrees to each side. If...

I am happy with the actual mix but I am going to put the song up at Garageband.com for some objective feedback etc and I just want to make sure the polishing(in no way could what I do be called 'mastering') I've done on the final mix with EQ/compression/limiting etc is of a decent enough...

The singer is a vocal student of my wife's, she is only 15 and this is her first every recording. I played all the instruments(apart from the drums, my wife programmed those) and did all the production/mixing. I'm pretty happy with the mix but I feel the piano is getting a little buried, and...

I've just finished mixing an instrumental track I'm working on and to add a bit of polish(I certainly wouldn't call it mastering hehe) I EQ'd the final mix a little, compressed it a little and put it through the Kjaeurhus Master Limiter aswell as adding dithering using the Cubase UV22. I'm just...

I posted this up a couple of weeks back in rough form, but it was a downloadable file rather than a direct link. I now have it as a direct link, and I am now pretty close to being happy with the mix. I just really need some outside opinions on it, as I'm very much in the still learning period...

I use the Classic series on a regular basis but have always been intrigued by the Gold Series. I've been kinda struggling with the native EQ's in Cubase, mainly not being able to make small adjustments to a satisfactory level. I knew the entire Gold series is available to download and use...

I'm currently working on an instrumental rock track and am now at the mixing stage. I'm struggling a little to get everything sounding 'together'. The bass and all the guitars were recorded direct in(a first for me). Bass was recorded straight into my DMP3 and all guitars were recorded...

I'm working on an instrumental rock song and I have recorded the lead guitar tracks for it. There's a 10-second or so section where I would like to have a wah effect over one of the lead tracks, but I don't really wanna go back and re-record with a pedal. An auto wah plugin would do the job I...

I'm working on a song at the moment and the bass within it is very prominent, it has a bass solo in there too. I record bass parts directly as follows:- Washburn XB100--->M-Audio DMP3--->M-Audio Audiophile 192--->Cubase SL3 I'm pretty happy with the way my bass parts sound, and I usually just...

I've been out of the saddle for a while, recording and mixing wise. Last year I upgraded my admittedly basic setup to a pretty decent budget one. I usually write/record instrumental rock stuff and also sometimes pop/rock stuff with my wife who sings but this one is my wife singing the hymn...

I think this is a new problem for me, although I'm not 100% sure. When I am recording a MIDI track, Cubase is crashing and restarting my PC at the exact same point every time - which is at around 3 mins 30 seconds. Like I say, I think it is a new problem because I have recorded at least one...

I know this has been asked a lot here, infact I just did a search and went through the results. I have a pretty noisy base unit - not sure exactly which fans etc are causing it but if I could quieten it by say 20% I'd be pretty happy. Putting it in another room or a closet, simply isn't an...

I currently have a Fender Super 60 all tube amp and although it's served me well over the 5 years I've had it, it's always been perhaps a little too powerful for bedroom recording. Also, I've noticed it has lost some it's brightness in the last few months, which is probably down to the tubes...

I'm currently recording an instrumental track, with the lead melody being played on electric guitar. I have recorded a MIDI piano track which is the main backing for the melody, there is also drums and a rhythm acoustic guitar in there. Before, I have usually positioned a piano track central...

I apologise in advance as this is gonna be a pretty long post, but if you could possibly take the time to read it(Reason, Cubase and T-Racks 24 users in particular) and give me some opinions it would be much appreciated :) I've had Cubase SL3 for a couple of months now and although I'm very...
