understood Appreciate the feedback guys. And I can totally understand why some guys might be offended by the use of samples in a song. I've been a guitarist now for about 20 years and the thought of people replacing a guitar segment in a song with a sample instead of a real musician might be...

Many thanks spinsterwun, I'll give those a try. I can't help notice a contradiction in your question tazkatraz. You suggest I go out with a bundle load of audio gear and record a guy doing record scratches (ie. sample his work) instead of downloading a variety of samples from work produced by...

Does anyoe know where I can get some free sound waves of record scratch sounds like those that are often used in rap, on the net? I'm incorporating it into a soundtrack for a short film. Much appreciated

I'm working on a project and I need to find a concise listing of the top charting songs and artists in the late sixties. (Mainly 1968) Does anyone know a good internet site. Many thanks.

Thanks Dougie. Much Appreciated. Out of curiousity How the heck did you know Zulu?

pronunuciation. My understanding is that the word means "goodbye". I just don't know how to pronounce it.

I second the sentiments of smirky. To add to this , listening to a radio from a long distance is also cool because you hear the song diiferently. Some new frequencies you might not of heard close up and also your imagination fills in the blank spots - hey presto ... new song. I also agree that...

I need to know the pronunciation of a Zulu word "Sala Kahle" which means goodbye. Can anyone help me.

A similar thing happened to me with my first version of Cubase. I think it was Cubase 3. I talkedd to my dealer and upgraded from the net. The upgrade got rid of the problem. Is your Cubase an old version, and have you upgraded recently?

I also think a compressor would be good in this application. Try and get one with a limiter perhaps, which will be particularly good for keeping a roof over this guys screams. This will save the congregations ears. Many compressors have this combination of : compressor, limiter, and noise gate...

Thanks NL. Maybe mine is a bit faulty, The warranty is still good so I might talk to my dealer. By the way "Red book" is just a term that's used for audio that plays on a CD player. By the sounds of your answer - yours can do this quite well. Thanks again.

go the cubase Cubase is great. It's apparently the most popular audio software in the world. Users of Nuendo really seem happy, but I've yet to hear from one who has also used Cubase. If you want to be confused further:Soundscape Mixtreme is great. It combines hardware and software. Another...

I recently bought a Ricoh R/RW (MP7060S). It does a fine job burining data and wave files, but it does a horrible job burning red book (The result is a lot of audio breakup) , even when I'm using a standard Recordable CD. Luckilly I kept my old Sony (recordable only , not RW) and have kept using...

Bob, when I started with PC recording I was also totally new to midi. It was a huge learning curve. I used Cubase and I can reccomendt it. My understanding is that Nuendo is more for film and video and might not be so versatile with midi editing. This might be important if midi is something you...

I've been using a mosvalve tube works power amp with real tube pre amp. It uses 12AX7 tubes. I've recently bought the POD though and I have to say, it is INCREDIBLE. In many ways better than the sound I was getting with my real amp. Admittedly I haven't recorded with it yet. Also the 12 AX7...
