    Need a good solution for switching between two sources on one pair of monitors

    True, but I was kinda lookng for something simpler and a little cheaper. I found a cheap Samson unit, but people say it colours the sound pretty drastically.

    Need a good solution for switching between two sources on one pair of monitors

    I'm getting a second DAW computer with a Digi 003r+ and I want to use it with my A7's, like I'm doing right now with my Cubase setup. Is there any way to do this without damaging the signal or sound quality? I want a simple configuration like this: Interface 1 & 2 > Switching Unit > Monitors

    I'm new here, need some input on the overall sound of my mixes.

    Great stuff. Thanks for listening! Like I said, this is just a sample of what I've done. I have like fifty more tracks but I feel like I'm held back by the lack of vocals for the 'rock band' tracks. I've written vocal melodies that I think are fairly good, but my voice isn't really what the...

    Plugin similar to the EHX Bass Micro Synth

    I'm looking for a plugin similar to the Electro Harmonix Bass Micro Synth pedal, as a substitute for that pedal in a recording environment. All of my searches just lead me to bass synth vst instruments, and that's not what I need. I need a plugin that will alter the sound of a recorded signal...

    Recording Two tracks from one microphone with effects?

    There are several ways to do this, the easiest being the following, in my opinion. I'm assuming you're talking about software effects (VST plugins etc). If you have FX hardware in your input chain you want to use, this won't work. Record the vocal track you want to a track with no effects on...

    Panning Problem

    This is because you have set Cubase to use a mono output. Remove the two outputs you have, add a stereo output instead.

    Mixing Problem: 'Pumping' Sound

    Either that, or you have some normal normalization thing going on on your computers output. Usually on the sound card properties.

    Noise Gate Vs. Tom Tom's

    I often feel that gating removes some of the attack. I'd rather just use some clever editing and fading, perhaps use some EQ'd reveb if you want more ringing without having hear the bleed.

    Top tips for drum tracking at home

    The level fader in your DAW should only control the output. Input gain should be a separate entity. Are you talking about monitoring here? If so, I'd just turn the other stuff down to be safe, and rather bring it back up during mixing.

    Thanks! Yeah, it's not really avant garde, but it was unusual for me, so I guess that's why I described it as such :) I'm glad you listened!

    Need some help on setting up some new gear . M-Audio and Presonus

    Alright. Do I need a lightpipe for that or can I just connect the preamp and 1814 together via ADAT? What sort of cable will I need? How do I set the preamp as slave?

    Need some help on setting up some new gear . M-Audio and Presonus

    I currently own an M-Audio 1814 firewire interface, which has eight analog inputs as well as a digital input. I'm getting a Presonus Digimax D8 tomorrow, which has both digital and analog outputs. The 1814 has like I said eight analog inputs, two of which have preamps. However, if I connect the...

    My first live recording

    I'll try to find something to separate the individual mics more. I have another question, though. Will mic bleed cause phasing issues? Like, if there is bleed from the snare into the guitar, and vice versa, how will that work if the guitar is panned hard left, and the snare is center? Will...

    I'm new here, need some input on the overall sound of my mixes.

    Yeah, I mixed some of those tracks on my old setup, in my old room. Will definitely do another EQ pass once I get everything set up in my new place! I didn't write the lyrics for the hip-hop track, nor did I do the vocals. That was a friend of mine. We really need a singer, who can do that, as...
