I finally finished mixing a song...my first one in a few years, but the mix is too quiet. I am not sure how to fix it. I mixed the song in Cubase SX 1, and then master in it too (to the best of my abillity). Basically, I took the song and ran it through Waves L1 Ultra-maximizer on "Master"...

have search the forums as hard as I could to find a good way to use the DM-24 as a controller for Cubase and haven't found what I was looking for. I have used the Generic Remote method from the Tascam webiste and had an OK time with it. I would like the Jog/Shuttle wheel and the transport to...

I used to have this working, but today I can't get it. I have midi from Cubase to the DM-24, faders fly, MTC shows up etc. I have nothing from the DM-24 to cubase. I checked the MIDI cable. I can't seem to get it to output any midi messages. Im sure I changed a channel or something, but...

So I got some V8s this weekend. These are my first active monitors and I am curious as to what type of cable would be ideal for these. Should I use XLR, balanced 1/4, unbalanced 1/4, should the cable be shielded? I don't do much with speakers normally. I just set them up and leave them...

I have a Midiman USB 2x2 and it work perfectly, but as my gear collection has grown, so have my MIDI needs. Devices I use that I use MIDI with: Computer Tascam DM-24 Alesis HD-24 Lexicon MPX1 Alesis Quadraverb Line6 POD Alesis QS 8.1 I am thinking an 8x8 is the way to go here, as I should...

I just reformatted the windoze box and am having a few issues. I can get audio into the MOTU no problem. 1) If I monitor the audio through the MOTU Qmix application it peaks ALL THE TIME and sounds aweful. It sounds fine in cubase upon playback, but recording it hurts the ears. 2) If I...

I am looking to upgrade the old Alesis Monitor Ones soon, and have been looking for good reviews on monitors in the 600-1300 (pair) range. I can find lots that say Monitor X is the best thing since sliced bread, but they never say what they don't like, or if compared to Monitor Y it is better...

I have a dual athlon computer that has had heating problems in the past. I bought better fans, 2x Cooler Master CPU Cooler HSC-V62 but they are LOUD. They were rated best on Tom's Hardware for quiet fans. HAHAHAH. They are SOOO loud. I don't have dB measurement device, otherwise I...

I just sold a couple amps and am looking to get a new one. I am most interested in the Motion-Sound guitar amp because of the rotating speaker. Anyone have one of these? There are only a couple reviews on Harmony-Central and I guess I would just like to know more. The other amps I really...

I asked something similar a while ago (maybe 18 months) but times have changed and I never did buy drums mics. I really don't mic drums too often and would like to get somethign in the cheap range because of that. Are the NADY packs from MF or AMS any good? How about the Audix packs, if so...

What does everybody do to label all their cables? I have thought about purchasing a labeler from like officemax or something, but I am cheap and I could spend the 20 bucks on some new cables. I really have a problem around the back of my racks and and into the patchbays. Do most of you use...

Does anyone know if/where I can get one? and what the price is roughly? It doesn't appear that the big shops have them... MIKE

What is the cheapest way to get ADAT I/O using the a computer. A friend of mine needs only 8 channels each way. The Alesis ADAT Edit card won't work on 2000/XP so that is out. He is looking for something under 300$. He thinks my MOTU 2408 is a bit too much for him ;) Any suggestions? PS...

I have been running dual 19" for quite a while now, but they are seperate. (as in a background appears on each monitor, not one big one all the way across). I would like one big one all the way across, like a resolution of 3280 x 1024 or something. I have a Gefore4 MX440 but I haven't figured...
