I've been editing together some regions and have merged them together. Problem is that I now need to stretch the merged region but when I try to extend the track on the left (in the attachment), it won't give me the rest of the audio. How do I break the merged regions apart again? I realise...

I have a pair on Tannoy Reveal active monitors. Recently, a friend managed to push in one of the tweeters while helping me move one while setting up for an on location gig. I can hear there is a distinct lack of HF in the damaged monitor and anything played through them now sounds 'lopsided' as...

I've recently been considering upgrading to protools 8 le with the digi 003 factory and would most likely like a macbook pro to go with it. Ideally, I'd like to get the 13" model and use an external f/w drive to record the audio on. I've been looking at the new range of macbooks and the only...

I have recently been fooling around with a tascam 244 given to me by a friend. I’m having a bit of trouble getting it to record, though. I have downloaded the manual and can’t see what I’m doing wrong I have a condenser > RNP> input 4 on the Tascam. The record section of the Tascam is set to...

Dudes, I'm interested in purchasing the Mackie onyx 1640 for studio recording to be used in conjunction with a laptop with the firewire option. I have been reading up on the onyx 1640 and while I realise it's used mainly for live recordings, the 16 channels would come in handy in the studio...

Hi, I'm an engineer in training and I'm looking for some bands to record in the Edinburgh (Scotland) area. It's mainly for practice, but any bands recorded will obviously be provided with a free demo (if they wish to keep the final mix) which they can take away...or whack me over the head with...

I'm trying to find a compatable removable drive bay for a mackie SDR24 (it's the discontinued one) The model I'm looking for is an RH06 drive caddy. It has to fit the mackie and my PC tower so I can transfer my recorded audio easily. Finding one of these is turning into a bit of a nightmare...

Dudez! Can anyone advise me on how to achieve a drum sound a-la PJ Harvey on the track "Dress". I think it's feckin' immense! Any thoughts or advice in terms of mics, drums, etc would be greatly appreciated. :D

Recently I have noticed that my active Tannoy reveals are making noises. The tweeter is emitting constant hiss and there is 'bubbling' or popping coming from the bass cone. This is only really audible when my ear is close to one of the speakers. I don't monitor at excessive levels and the only...

I have recently bought a Rode NTK, RNP and RNC. These are going into my Delta 66 and then into cubase sx and I am very happy with the results (I can't stop giggling like a wee girl when I listen back!) I do have a small problem, though. When listening to a take, I sometimes get feedback...

Hi I am considering purchasing the RNP and RNC an dhave a couple of questions. I was hoping someone could help out. 1. Does the RNP have phantom power? I have an AKG c1000 that will need it. 2. I want to use the units to record myself singing and playing a mic'd acoustic guitar at the same...

I recently bought a second hand SM57 on Ebay. When I set it ip for some guitar and vocals, the level meter on cubase only rose to about 1/3 of the way up (if that). This was with the gain all the way up on a Behringer mixer (i know!) but with the AKG c1000 I have, which requires phantom power...

Hi guys, I have been jamming with a couple of friends recently and would like to record the midi parts that are being played via virtual instruments on Cubase directly to an audio track so we have some record of what has been played Is there any way to do this? I am using a Delta 66 soundcard...

I am about to be born into the world of midi, and need to buy a soundcard as I only have a delta 66 at the moment. (I think of it as my placenta) My question s are: 1. What sound cards are suitable to run alongside my current audio card (in the region of £200. I have heard good things about...
