Hello. I am multi-tracking with Cubase24 and can't seem to achieve a desired guitar sound. Basically what I'm shooting for is something like on the new Chixdigit record, which is full, big rocking guitars. Basically a Rob Cavallo sound circa first weezer record or Muffs (Blond and Blonder)...

Hi. This is a question for and hardcore guitar techs on the board. I've got this les paul knock-off with 2 covered humbuckers in it and when I crank it up with distortion, it lets out this bizarre sounding feedback when I stop playing. The feedback is more hollow sounding, if that makes...

Hello. I'm using Cubase VST (not 24) on a Mac and I've noticed that every time (well, almost every time) I do a punch that I can hear a faint (but audible) pop right where the punched audio starts. Are there any tricks to punching in audio that will reduce this "pop"? help!

hey everybody, I was wondering if anyone knew off hand if that old 1985 Tascam 388 reel to reel 8 track had a phantom power switch in the back. Does anyone know?

Hey there. I'm kind of new tocubase VST (not 24) and I was wondering if there is a way i can automate the mixing? Can anyone just get me on the right path? Thanks.

Hey, I'm kind of in the process of building my Cubase studio and I'm wondering what people are using for mic pres. I could see getting a 16 channel mixer (i usually record live bands and need more than 8 outs). What do people usually use for mic pres?

HI. I can't quite figure out how to save songs on cubase so that I can burn them onto a CD using TOAST. Saving as a "SONG" on Cubase is not recognisable by TOAST (since it's a native cubase format). Is there a way to save a song as a 2 track (left and right) audio file with cubase? I'm confused.

Actually, the problem is just that playing the mix back on other stereos doesn't sound like the mix I was getting when I was mixing to dat. When I play the Dat back on my AR speakers, it sounds fine, but when I hook the Dat up to a portable or home stereo, the mix doesn't sound as good as it...

Hey there, Can anyone tell me if the Mackie 1604 has 16 outputs? I mean, will I be able to use it to record 16 tracks at the same time? The Alesis 32 has a Direct Out for each channel. My friend has an older Mackie 1604 and he can only do 8 at a time. Are the "INSERT"s the same as Direct...

Hey there. I'm new to this message board, but I've read it a bit and people here seem pretty cool, so I'm not too weirded out to ask for advice. OK, I've got this MOTU 24i hooked up to Cubase. The 24i only has 2 outs, so I'm doing all my mixing on cubase (so far so good), but, for going in to...
