Hi I'm sure there is a way to do this but I can't remember how. I want to gradually slow midi tracks over a period of 4 bars, then switch back to the normal tempo. Can someone please tell me how to do it ? Thanks

Hi I've got a Firebox which I've had for a few years and I'm just wanting to get back into recording. I've just bought a new laptop which of course has USB but no firewire port. Does anyone know if I can buy some sort of adapter to convert the firewire out of the Firebox into USB so I can use...

Hey I haven't written or recorded anything for about 3 years, and to be honest I was pretty shit then. But I just downloaded Reaper just to try out so I thought I'd write a song. My vocals are pretty horrible as is the rest of it I suppose, but what the hell, I'd like to do some more so I'd...

Hey I've just mixed a song down, but my vocals are pretty crap - nothing to do with the mix, I've just got crappy vocals. Would someone be willing for me to send them just a vocal track to see what they could do with it ? I have a very sibilant voice, as well as being not a very good singer...

Hi I've just bought it, tried to install and get this error message : E:\Install\PC\Windows\winsxs\Manifests\x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.1_x-ww_6f74963e.manifest. Verify that the file exists and you can access it. Then it asks to abort, retry, ignore. I've just mailed...

Hi I've been using this combination for a couple of years with no problems. I haven't recorded anything for about 6 months, but I'm trying to now and I have a problem which I'll try to describe. Simply, if I plug something into the left input on the front of the firebox, it records (and plays...

Hi Guys Don't know if this is the best place to post this question. I play guitar and keys in a band and do backing vox. Monitoring is a constant problem for me. I currently use a floor wedge, but of course I have to move to the keyboard for about half our songs, and then I can't hear my...

Hi all I'd appreciate your comments on this mix : http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=10037 Ta

Hi I've got a tiny room in which to record and mix - about 11 feet square with 7' 6" ceilings. I've got low end audio gear (firebox, AT3035, ,SP B1, BX5's for monitoring) and record vocals, elec and acoustic guitar, di the bass, use ezdrummer and midi for keys. The floor is carpeted. Having...

Hi guys This is my latest effort : http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=9392 My singing voice is ropey, so I'd especially appreciate help in this area. I try everything that I've learned on this site to improve the sound of it, but I guess it's a case of crap in / crap out. Aside...

Hi fellas I'm still very new to recording, but starting to learn I hope. I'd appreciate someone giving this song a listen and giving me their thoughts regarding the mix. I've got low end gear, and appropriate ambitions, but it would be good to get some fresh ears on it, and some good advice...

I tried using the search facility, but it's down for some reason. I use an SM58 (of course) for my live vox in my band, but I find it very boomy. I remember seeing a thread here before about some possible alternatives. Anyone got any ideas about a reasonably priced live mic that may be less...

Hi. I just got my Firebox today. I'm testing it with SX3 and I can't get to be able to monitor through headphones while recording. I went into SX3 to check the direct monitoring button, but this is greyed out. Anyone have any ideas ? Thanks

Hi Fellas I've recorded a few songs in the keys to suit my voice. The singer in my band now wants to record the vox, but of course he wants all the songs in a different key. If they were just one or two guitar parts and a bass, I would re-record them in the required key, but some of them are...

Hi guys I've just bought EZ Drummer and am surprised by the lack of intros and outros. Do people normally just edit the beats to create their own, create their own from scratch, or does anyone know of somewhere that you can buy intros and outros ? Better still, is there anywhere where people...
