    Please help my poor neighbors!

    I just emailed you Rick using that adrress you gave in your last post but it got sent back to me so I'll just post the message here. Anyone else, feel free to chime in as well! The room I am working with is a pretty cool, raw industrial space. It's a small room, probably 200 sq ft but the...

    Please help my poor neighbors!

    I am free to do whatever I want with the space. There are large windows on one side only but they surprisingly don't let in too much noise, especially for New York City. What I am concerned with is soundproofing the one wall between me and the neighbor. All other walls are fine the way the are...

    Latency is tripping up the vocalist!

    Listen Dajuan, I never claimed to be an expert amd I'll be the first to admit I lack certain knowledge in the recording field which is why I turn to this board. But come on, you've displayed nothing but raw ignorance when it comes to digital recording or even general recording for that matter...

    Latency is tripping up the vocalist!

    Actually Dajuan, my problem was essentially solved before you ever even came into the picture by some good advice by the TRUE experts of recording that posted before you so I can't settle you're little wager on who's advice works. But I do know one thing for sure and that is that "San Peco" has...

    Please help my poor neighbors!

    Well, I've found myself in a new situation. I'm going to be moving my studio into a small (2-300 sq. ft.) commercial office space in New York City. Now, even though most of our recording work will be done after hours (6pm on) I am concerned that we will not be able to freely 'blast' our music as...

    Latency is tripping up the vocalist!

    I am using a mackie 1202 for the moment and I can definitely try your advice and monitor live through the mixer feed before the cpu BUT my concern with that is: The vocalist will be singing according to what they hear coming from Logic (the computer based multi-track recording program). Now...

    Latency is tripping up the vocalist!

    I am using an emagic Audiowerk2 card with Logic 4.8.1 Platunum and/or Digital Performer 3 on an early model G4. When monitoring his/her vocals through Logic or DP there is a slight delay(maybe 8 or 10 milliseconds). it's noticeable and the vocalists are having a lot of trouble giving their best...

    Communicating With the Booth!

    Which brings us to our final obstacle... latency. I am using an emagic Audiowerk2 card with Logic 4.8.1 Platunum on a G4. The latency is slight but as you know, the vocalist must hear themselves EXACTLY as they sing/speak. If there were a way to reduce the latency then we could do as you said...

    Communicating With the Booth!

    Okay, with all your help, I'm one step away from having a perfect (for me) recording set up using only a Mackie 1202 and a G4. If you read my original post you'll notice my original problem is that I didn't have independent monitor volume control for me in the control room and for the...

    Communicating With the Booth!

    The problem with that is the RCA jacks (TAPE OUT) doesn't output the entire mix, ony what's plugged into the mixer channels. And since LOGIC is coming into the TAPE IN RCA jacks, it can't be heard through the TAPE OUT. Should Logic be inserted into a stereo mixer channel instead? That would...

    Communicating With the Booth!

    Good idea. So this would mean I would have to have to go from the control room output of the Mackie into the headphone amp in. Then plug the vocalist's headphones into one jack and the studio monitors into another jack. But the studio monitors each have their own 1/4" plug so I would have to use...

    Communicating With the Booth!

    GOD it feels good to have a support group to go to for these burning dilemmas. I used to have a nice recording set-up until last weekend when every home recordist's nightmare came true,...my studio got robbed. Now all I have to work with is a Mackie 1202vlz and my G4 Mac (thank god). I'm using...

    Great VST Soft Synths?

    I'l tell you what I'm looking for specifically, great bass lines. Of these mentioned software synths, do any of them include a healthy collection of THICK, low, booming, funk-type BASS presets for bass lines? Too many soft synth bass sounds I've heard are weak, transparent and bland. Or...

    Triton/Karma Soft Synths?

    Your responses were unhelpful and insulting. Many Cakewalk users don't read Cubase forums who don't read other computer forums... yet they all deal with VSTs. It was perfectly reasonable to multipost an issue that needs to be customized for the best possible help from specified sections. I'm...

    Great VST Soft Synths?

    I have played around with a few soft synths and they've all been 'create your own sound from scratch' types of programs (eg., Reaktor, Sound Forum etc.). Are there any soft synths out there that are basically virtual versions of the Triton or Karma or the new Roland Fantom? I'm looking for a...
