Hi all, I'm a long time lurking and very occasional poster, but now that I'm on the cusp of a house purchase that contains a double garage! Better yet, my darling wife is more than happy for me to convert the garage into a studio. We see this as a long term project, but I'd like to get...

Hi all, I've been using my midi drum kit with ezdrummer for a while now, but want to be able to record onto cubase while someone else is playing. This becomes difficult because the midi drums seem to snap into place, rather than dropping in where I play them. After a bit of googling it seems...

Right, so I've just bought the following: Millenium MPS100 edrum EZ drummer This has just been added to my normal recording setup of FP10 Cubase SX Which works fine for recording audio. After a couple of hours I've managed to get the Edrums and Toontrack solo (stand alone host for EZ drummer)...

So I've found a good deal on a Roland HD1 and thought I'd buy it to make practising with my band a littler easier. However, I read through a review and they mentioned using it the MIDI output to trigger samples from software like EZ drummer. I've got a Presonus FP10 which has a MIDI in and...

Ok, I wasn't really sure where to put this, and after much deliberation I've decided I need advice from you loverly guitar people more than anyone else. I want to pick a song that I can record and mix myself as "practice" for when it comes to recording and mixing stuff for my band. It'd also...

Ok, this isn't as stupid a question as it may seem. I've been doing the whole home recording thing for years now, but with only recently getting a band sorted, and having that creative spark that means you're writing a new song every practice, I'm upping my game and busy recording demos etc...

Apologies if this has been answered before, or it should be in the newb forum, but I couldn't find anything on search and I thought this would be the best place to go... ...so I've got a new comp and put Cubase SX on it and now tracks (and splitting tracks etc) are all snapping to grid. First...

Ok, so I've been thinking about my recording situation, and I've got almost all I need for both demoing songs as well as doing proper recordings for "the public". What I was thinking is that I could do with an electronic kit that I can just plug in and hit record with, as my current option...

I've been toying with the idea of building a speaker cabinet for a guitar amp. I've got a lot of little hifi speakers lying around to experiment with before I go for the anything serious, but I'm confused by wiring, impedance and how it'll all look. Basically, here's what I'd like to do...

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a laptop, with it's prime use being home recording (or more accurate portable recording). I've got my heart set on a laptop, and have got a fair idea on specs, but the Processor is the one thing I'm not too sure about. I'll be plugging in my FP10 (so I'll need a...

I've recently started a new band (I'm the drummer hence the newb post) and we're going to be doing Ska Punk. I'm playing around with my amp modelling software, trying to get the best clean ska punk tone so I can give my guitarist (also a newb, well to the genre ne way) some advice. So, lets...

Right, I'm thinking of buying a new computer, well just the tower. My set up for recording is A Presonus FP10 into Cubase SX3. I don't have too much problem at the moment, but I can feel my current computer having trouble when you start adding in masses of guitar tracks and a bass track. It...

I think this may be more computer based than recording based, but hopefully someone can help. I've noticed that after recording so many tracks on cubase, editing them, and using VST plugins, the song begins to click, pop and distort on play back. Each track indiviually is totally fine, but...

Right, I've got a song, and during one part of it I want one of my tracks to gradually pan from left to right a few times (like it's bouncing between the speakers, but slowly), but I can't figure out how to go about doing it. Can anyone solve my problems?

Hi there, I'm slowly building up my studio equipment and what I really need is a guitar amp. It needs to be suitable for recording and suitable for small gigs should the need arise. From what I read many moons ago when I last though about getting a guitar amp, 60w is minimum I'm looking for...
