So, this is probably a stupid question, but...I have a simple two-button footswitch that goes to the TRS "footswitch" input on my Toneport UX8 and I'm running Cakewalk Sonar 7. I can't figure out how to get it to do the simplest of things: make one button hit record and the other hit stop...

Nobody is gonna critique this? Brutal.

Ahhh, I might have went with that, but I just ordered some Rokit 6 G2s this morning. I might hit you up if I have to return these for some reason.

Are they pretty good on shipping their stuff? Like, good padding and whatnot?

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good mailorder places from which I could buy some studio monitors. I'm most concerned about shipping practices, such as how well they pad their boxes and such. Other than that, I'm pretty flexible. I'm really eager to get some monitors. If it makes a...

I ended up close miking the bass cab with a beta57a a little off-axis. I used a condenser (on cardioid) about 4 feet away, directly in front. I also had an unprocessed DI track, as well as a DI track processed with the A&E setting from Pod Farm. Each one sounded alright, but invidually left...

I'm recording drums and I'm doing it with Sonar. Do you have any more info on doing this "visually in Sonar"? That would be spectacular.

Man am I glad you commented when you did. I just wrapped up a session where I mic'd my bass cab (sm beta57a and distant condenser) as well as ran a DI. The beta57a track sounded the best as a standalone, but I was thinking about filtering in some of the DI track. I probably would have got...

CDs are so 1995. They have this new thing called "vinyl." Check it out!

Alright, so I don't have monitors. This mix was made using headphones. Brutal, I know. As such, I'm sure there's a few things wrong with it. Let me know what you think: http://www.soundclick.com/util/downloadSong.cfm?ID=7518683 Edit: Crap. Apparently the song isn't approved yet. Sorry...

This is a good idea. Also, I don't know about the POD, but my Toneport UX8 allows me to send an unprocessed signal in addition to the processed GearBox/Pod Farm signal. Set up two tracks, get both the clean signal and the processed signal, re-amp the clean signal and mic it appropriately...

I think the click track is awesome. Some of the people I record with, hate it though. This brings up an important issue: The headphone mix. There are a couple of ways to use a click track without it being overbearing to everyone. You can port the click-track to just the drummer. This way...

In my opinion, even EZ drummer is a bit of a pain in the ass. It's cool if you don't have a good drummer available, so you can figure out the exact beat that you want. And EZ drummer has a surprisingly realistic sound to it, if you play with it a bit. Maybe I'm not good at sequencing, but I...

I tried miking it along with DI when I was first starting out, but I didn't blend the two together. I just tried to figure out which one sounded better and kept it. That's a good idea. Maybe I'll combine this idea with what LemonTree said. Thanks!
