    Soft rock, female vocal

    Generally the elements are there, and maybe there is a bit of tightening up you can do. I enjoyed the song structure and the key changes: original and nteresting. However, unlike spantini above, I was not keen on the distorted guitar during the song, nor the dramatic bit at the end. I think it...

    Where do you have your audio interface placed?

    I made my desk, and my interface is within easy reach in a special place on the right hand side.

    Reaper Project and HiRes

    The file is 24/192. When you load it into Reaper it stays as 24/192. It plays back at whatever the interface setttings Reaper is set to. When you save the project, you don't change the file. It stays as 24/192 If you edit the file and want to save those changes as a new file, you can use...

    Recommendations for digital interface instead of knobs?

    Ir is possibly a mechanical problem. One ting you can try is to rotate the gain control rapidly left and right for a few minutes (preferably without a mike plugged in). This can often clean up the contacts, and that may resolve the issue. If it's a circuit design problem, then you may need to...

    Recommendations for digital interface instead of knobs?

    Some interfaces have software controls. It's not so much the DAW but more the interface program. That aside, I'm not sure that I understand why controlling the knob is difficult, nor why you need to adjust it so much.

    I just bought a counterfeit by accident - and it sounds better!

    The Samson website shows them with three slots, but, just to be perverse, in the pic of them in their nice little case, they have five slots: http://www.samsontech.com/samson/products/microphones/condenser-microphones/c02/

    AT2020 not showing on pc

    You've probably jumped in a bit too quickly with your purchases. If you intend to pursue recording more seriously, you are best off getting an audio interface. Youn can get one fairlyt cheaply, such as this one: https://www.modernmusician.com.au/behringer-umc202hd This will provide the...

    What is the difference?

    Another difference is that if you do mastering as a separate process, it makes it easier to get get cohesive and consistent mastering across a set of tracks (e.g. if you are putting together tracks for an album).

    4-Track routing/level question

    It makes no difference really. The problem is getting a compressed trk2 signal back into the mix before the stereo out. One option to try, if you have four inputs on your interface, is to record all four tracks into the computer, play them back and re-record them on the MT4x, but apply the...

    4-Track routing/level question

    I have a feeling that the way you have cabled it is causing the grief. If you have output of Trk2 going into compressor, then output of going into input of trk2, it strikes me that the output of trk2 is not going to be what is recorded on tape, but what is coming in from the compressor, i.e...

    Keeping Those Cables Neat and Tidy.

    I vary from obseesive tidiness to tangled chaos. Every now and again, I go through, tidy up all the cables and use little velcro straps to keep everything neat and organised. However, usually when I do that, the very next day I discover I have the need to idenitfy and isolate a particular cable...

    Bass & Treble In Windows

    . That experience highlights the differences between working with headphones and working with monitors. I would generally rely on monitors in preference to headphones, but it does depend on equipment build and room acoustics. Some Fluid Auio monitors have room compensation switches on the...

    No audio out

    Most likely because Cubase has been set to use your interface as its sound device. I'm not sure why you wouldn't connect your monitors to the interface.

    Laptop Bleed

    Sure. Others have said this already, but first thing is to go to Windows sound seetings and make sure the USB device is selected as default input and out. Then do the same within Reaper.
