I just moved into a rented flat a few months ago, its a two bedroom so the spare room is a dedicated studio. Unfortunately, its sounds god damn horrifically horrifyingly bad! Ive been using headphones since I moved in, its just unusable. The bass is just a boomy mess frankly, it overwhelms...

So ive just moved house and set up all my gear, I turned on my DAW for the first time and it made that wooshy burn out sound and emiitted a burnt smell. It didnt seem to distract the computer, the normal startup procceedure still came up on both screens, I turned it off pretty quickly however...

Im just about to build a new PC (and run my old one as a slave) and it was brought to my attention that maybe i should upgrade my soundcard as well. Im using a Delta 44/Omni Studio at the moment. The thing is, im barely doing any live source recording, most of my work is done in the computer...

At the moment, im running an old socket 754 AMD64 3400+ 2gig RAM system and need to build a new one. My plan is to build the new system and use my current system as a slave. Antec Sonata Designer - With 500W EarthWatts PSU - £76 ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP AiLifestyle Series P35 Socket 775 Socket...

Say i am writing a piece in my host using only one softsynth VST, does the softsynth control the bit rate of the output audio material its sending to the host and therefore render my hosts bit rate inconsequential? Or does it still depend on what my hosts bit rate is set at? Cheers

Im currently using an Asus K8ve Deluxe 754 socket Motherboard and an AMD64 2400 CPU. I built this system like 4 years ago or something and its still running great, im just running out of processing power too quickly when i fire up Reaktor and some other synths/effects. Any suggestions on...

hey, Just decided to write this piece over the last couple of weeks thanks to a new found interest in electronica. There are so many sub genera's im not entirely sure what to classify this as but im going with progressive electronica for now (unless someone corrects me). You can hear some...

hey, Im just finishing up writing my first whole electronica piece and was wondering if anyone had any tips on mixing the thing? At the moment its just a whole bunch of vst's through Cubase. Should i adjust all the levels of the tracks so they arn't clipping on the vst outputs or anything...

Does anyone use Diskeeper? http://www.diskeeper.com/diskeeper/home/home.asp recommended, is it worth it?

If i put my computer onto stand by and then take it off and try to load up a project in Cubase or load a sample in a standalone player, everything jams up and i have to hit the restart button. anyone know why this is? cheers

I want to shift Drumkit form hell, Spectrasonics Atmosphere and Trilogy to a new hard drive. should i just uninstall them and reinstall on the new hard drive? this wont create any problems will it?

Im gonna be recording some drums this weekend with my band. Our first attempt at recording drums properly, (well, properly compared to sticking a mic in a room and playing. :) ) The mics we have: Condenser Kick drum mic Sm57 Sennheiser e609 (my guitar cab mic) We've got a pretty good small...
