Yes, the studio does not use Cubase. They're using Studio1. I have a lot of automation, which would be impossible to recreate from scratch and would waste a lot of studio time trying.

I'm looking to bring my raw tracks into the studio to have them mixed and mastered. If I export using the audio mixdown, none of the automation is exported, just the audio. The group tracks can be selected also, but in the same way, none of the automation is exported with the track.

Here's my problem: Say I record 8 drums tracks, then I automate certain parts of each track to cut out noises and get everything sounding the way I like. Then I set up a group track, route the drum tracks to it, and automate the volume of the group track to fit into the mix. But if I export...

It's a Dell 980 Intel i5 650@3.2 ghz with 12gb ram

I have just gotten back into recording after 15 years. So my interface, software etc are all 15 years old. I had a decent sized struggle to get them working with a modernish computer running windows 7, but I can record and edit now. Interface is MOTU 828 MKII, and software is Cubase SX 2.03...

i've been having a problem with exporting audio mixdowns. whether i pick stereo or stereo interleaved as my output type, no program on my computer can pick up anything but the left side of the sudio, which it then converts to dual mono. i've been using mostly wavelab, but i've tried my...

i figured out that i had saved a template with some information in the pools. it was screwing up everything. i'm new to computer recording, i switched to 96000 sampling rate (all live audio) because i assume it sounds better. can anyone reassure this newbie that i'm not recording gigantic files...

i was recording at 44.1 and decided to make the jump to 96. recorded one song and everything was fine. every song since then, when i come out of the recording room and hit stop, the lengths of the tracks are all different. when i listen to the song everything is fine until the 5 minute mark...

thanks for the info. i'n not sure i'm ready to build one myself since i would need much education on what to buy and i'd like to get off my friends mac asap. i'm looking to spend ~$1300 (incl monitor), which i'm guessing leaves me with a $1000 computer.the canadasys site left me with some...

thnks for all your advice. i'm not running from mackie preamps into motu preamps, the 896 has a line in selector switch and the 828 has line in jacks on the back. right now i've returned the 896 and i've got the 828 mkii, which has 2 mic preamps and 8 line ins. current setup is mics -> mixer...

yhanks for the reply, but the question was a little different. my guitar doesn't just sound bad in the mix, it sounds bad recorded all by itself. it just doesn't record the way it sounds live or the way i hear it in the mixer headphones. i'm using 3 mics on two amps. an sm57 right on the grill...

i have a mac g4 with digital performer 3.11 hooked up to a motu 828 mk ii (also tried a motu 896hd). sounds ok on drums and vocals but my guitar sound is horrible, way too low, missing high end, muddy etc. i have tried recording all sorts of ways. 1) mics on amps to mixer to motu 2) mics on amp...

any advice on building a fast pc?

the 828 comes with spftware for both mac and pc, so only firewire connectivity would be required for a switch to pc. i thing my digital performer is only for mac. what's the best way to create a music pc? di i need special hard drives? g4 800 - i only see g4 1.25 for sale for $1295

i just got into computerized recording. i got a free version of Digital Performer 3.11 from a friend, bought a motu 828mkii (upgraded to a 896 hd because of guitar center advice but am going back to the 828), and am using my roomates g4 mac. i'm a pc guy though, and my roomates mac is a...
