    Cakewalk & Compaq??

    I can't seem to record into Cakewalk with my Compaq Presario 2200. It has a cheap soundcard with only a 1/8" mic input (no line in). I've connected my mic (SM58) to my TASCAM 564 4 track, then from the line outs of the TASCAM to the mic in on the computer. I've checked to make sure the mic...

    amp for Event 20/20's??

    (I posted this on the other equip thread but I thought of something else :) I just ordered a pair of Event 20/20's (which took a big chunk out of my monitor setup budget). What size (power) amp would be good for those? Would a Yamaha P2201 - 220w@8ohm, 325w@4ohm, be okay or too much? Would it...

    monitor setup???

    I'm looking into getting a reference monitor/amp set up for my home studio. I've read all of the info on the Alesis Monitor 1's, Events, etc. and the Alesis RA100 amp, and other amps. My question is not so much one on which equipment to get, but the set up: When I finally move into my extra...

    compressor settings??

    I just bought a Behringer MDX4400compressor for our band to use with our stage set up. I got it because we have two main problems with our vocals - 1. Our female singer goes from her regular volume during the sound check to hyperdrove when she gets crankin'. Even with a sound man, it...

    mp3?wav?ra?

    I really like the idea of this forum, but are MP3's the only format used here? I have Cakewalk Pro 8.0 and I see that I can save my files as wave, avi, real audio, or real media, but it mentions nothing about mp3. Is it possible to convert to mp3 from one of these other formats, or could a wav...

    Tascam CDRW700 CD recorder

    Has anyone had any experience or heard anything about the Tascam CRW700 CD recorder? The Tascam site specs list the different media types as CDR, CDRW, etc. but in the different catalogs the info states that it uses "audio-format CD-R's". Questions: 1. Would the CRW700 be what I need to master...

    Rode NT1 TOO sensitive??!?

    I'm looking at buying a large diaphragm condenser (around the $200 range) to record vocals - and the reviews on the Rode NT1 look great, except that many people have said they are extremely sensitive. Since I record in my spare bedroom, which means that a phone ringing or a loud noise on the TV...

    Tascam 564 to ART tubepac

    I recently purchased the ART Tubepac compressor/preamp to connect to my Tascam 564 digital 4 track portastudio. The manual says that I could connect it thru a 1/4 cable to the line in on one of the Tascam's channels. It also said that I could connect using the xlr output of the ART to the...

    Which first - or not??!?

    I record to a Tascam 564 digital 4 track with different synths and use SM58's for the vocals. I've always thought the vocals sounded pretty clean, but am always interested in getting a more professional sound. I'm thinking of getting a good condenser mic (NT1, or whatever) but my board does...

    recording synths??

    I record to a Tascam 564 digital 4 track using a Korg X5D, Kurzweil pc88mx, and Alesis SR16 drum machine. I realize it could just be my Yamaha monitors, but even listening on a good set of headphones, the recording of the synth tracks sounds dark and sometimes muddy. The vocal tracks I have...

    outboard soundcard??

    My computer has no open slots or bays in which to put a soundcard. I've been having a problem with Cakewalk Pro 8.0 having notes delay when I'm recording. I contacted Cakewalk tech help and they said that my soundcard (the inboard card in my Compaq Presario 2200 which I connect thru the midi...

    connection quandry??

    I didn't have much luck recording to Cakewalk pro 8.0, so I tried to sequence on my Yamaha sy77, connected to a Kurzweil pc88mx, midi thru to an Alesis sr26 drum machine. (I hope to use the Cakewalk mixing console to be better able to control the individual voice volumes, etc) To get the...

    weird reverb??!?!?

    I run Cakewalk Pro 8.0 into a Korg x5d synth and an Alesis S16 drum machine. Lately, when I start playback, I get this weird reverb, like a booming reverb/out-of-phase chorus sound on the drums. I looked into editing the midi effects, but nothing fixed it. It doesn't do it when recording...
