A client of mine is going to Africa and is planning on recording an acoustic african band. Drum cirlce style with different acoustic instuments (jembe, didredoo...sp? etc.) and singing. Years ago she recorded them with a handheld stereo mic and a walkman...she got fair results, but wants...

A music associate of mine has a Roland 2480, and has a buttload of info to backup. The problem is that the CD burner is "broken." He wants to backup all of the info before sending it in to Roland to be fixed. I have offered to help him try to back up the data (60+ songs), or find out how to...

I am an aspiring composer/producer/recording engineer and occasional artist. I am working with multiple artists as far as producing beats and recording songs for them. I want/need to start working with contracts for the work I am doing and not exactly sure how I should be going about this...

Over the last few years of diligent beat making, a few of the buttons on my Roland XP60 have started to go out on me. They still work...some of the time, as long as I push really hard repeatedly. How should I go about getting these damn buttons to work like almost new again? I'm a little...

I have a little problem. I have been mixing a number of tracks for an upcoming project, and most of the tracks sound great at low and normal volumes. As soon as I start turning the volume up louder, the bass starts to warble the speaks. Everything still sounds good at high volumes, but the...

This might sound stupid...I'm not a newbie by any means. Really...lol. Just a blazed home recordist needing your assistance. Anyway. I double clicked on a audio track, and it went into Loop Construction View, but now I can't get it to show my other tracks. I accidently did this awhile back...

For those of you who sell beats and make beat cd's for people to audition your work...how long do you make your snippets (Bars/Seconds)? What kind of structure do you use when making snippets...if any. Off topic: What kind of contracts do you use when selling beats? (Examples are good!)...

I just got my new computer (3.4G P4 1G RAM & all the trimmings!) I imported my other hard drive that has all of my Sonar & music related stuff on it and installed Sonar2 on the new HD. In order to install it I had to change my direct X settings back to version 8.1 and then switch it forward to...

I recently got a dbx patchbay. I'm not really sure how to use it...although i have some ideas. I wanted to be able to run most of my equip into it and then run the outs on the patchbay into my sound card. I wanted to try to take advantage of 3 different preamps and a compressor, as well as...

I am about to purchase a new comp with the main focus for recording. I now use Sonar 2 and might upgrade to 3, but I also have other programs that I want to use (samplitude, soundforge, reason, fruityloops, etc.), but my comp can't handle it. (P3 600mhz 256RAM) I have had my eye on a P4 3.0...

I read somewhere that you can submit groups of material (beats, in this case) to the US Copyright Office and have all of them copywritten for $35. Do you know if the beats have to be completely finished? Meaning, do they have to be in a completed sequence...as in if you submit the track, is...

I am in the market for a new keyboard and I'm leaning towards the Phantom X. A friend of mine has the "S" and sometimes we co-produce tracks. He was told that the "X" & "S" are not "compatable" because they use different media types for saving projects. I want to be able to take tracks from my...

How exactly do i go about assinging a certain real-time effect to multiple tracks at once? I select the real-time effect in the "FX" area...then what? Do I use an AUX bus or group the effects and/or tracks...if so...how in the hell do that? lol... I'll just shut up now and let the guru's...
