For those of you who have uploaded or tried to download songs from Juston and have had no end of troubles... your troubles may soon be over... at least that's what they say. Just got this in my email "In the past month some of you may have noticed that the quality of service at the...

I thought it was about time I posted something substantial here. I've had the reg codes for n-Track for a couple of days and I'm a 4-6 weeks off of recording 8-9 songs for my first CD. Basically at the moment I'm in the pre-production phase of things, familiarising myself with n-Track etc...

How close are you to deciding on cost? Also how you are going to distribute the cd's ie who's the poor unfortunate sole who has to make a copy and ship it off? I know this is probably bit early for all this, it's just that I know someone who wants to sell his US dollars and it'd help if i...

I'm waiting for my reg codes to come thru so I'd thought I'd update the version from 2.04 to 2.09. While playing around with the trial version (2.04) I'd recorded a few litte songs just to see how the program worked, each with between 4-7 tracks... just drums, bass and guitar. Anyway, I knew...

I get my first pay check today and I'm gonna register n-track ASAP. Just need to know people's thoughts on the fasoft EQ and compressor plugins? I might as well as get them too while am at it but I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any thoughts on the issue?

Not really wanting to buy a bass (when saving for a Line 6 Flextone), has anyone tried D.I.ing say a Boss Octave pedal to simulate a bass on a guitar? How authentic does it sound?

For ages now I've read every one saying that the ART Dual MP is awesome and on the basis of this, yes, I will probably be getting one within the next few months. But here's my question, can you use it in an effects loop or even pre-input of a guitar amp? (yes I have a crappy solid state...

I've just checked out Musicians Friend for prices of AKG C1000s and the Rode NT-1. Both are US$200 - is this generally about the right price for these two mics? I've just found out that Rode mics are made in Australia yet over here the Rode NT-1 costs the same as an AKG C1000 - now because the...

Well, I've compiled the rest of the samples that I managed to get my hands on. The Hi-Hat samples I don't think are that good - I don't think I'll be using any of them - but you might find something you like... the Hi-Hat file is only 345Kb anyway so it's not by any means a big download. The...

This is mainly for dmcsilva and Slack who in the other thread about samples noted their lack of decent cymbal samples - but everyone is welcome to the following :) I've manage to 'acquire' (don't ask how) some crash, splash, china and ride samples that I think are better than most of the...

Can someone explain to me what Direct X or VST plugins are. I know they basically work as outboard effects processors but that's about all. Who makes them? Where do you get them from? Are they free or do you have to pay for them? What kinds of plugins are there? Any help appreciated

Can anyone tell me if using Type IV Metal cassettes in my 424MkII will give the same quality as using Type II for which is was designed. I'm having real problems finding 60min Type II cassetes in my area - they have plenty of 90min Type II's but I read somewhere, prolly on here or on the main...

I'm gonna do the unthinkable and mix using headphones - I'll double check mixes in the car and on a home stereo tho - I can't afford my 20/20's just yet :) Anyway, can anyone recommend a good set of headphones to do this. I've read in other posts that AKG K240's are excellent, however my...

I think I've found a cheap Boss SE-50 stereo effects processor but it has no power supply. 1) Does the thing sound any good? 2) What would be about the 'right' price for this? 3) What power supply would I need? Just a normal 12V adaptor? Thanks in advance for any help :)

I definately wanna have a go at recording on my computer and give my trusty MkII a well earned rest. However as a student I don't have a lot of cash to be throwing around aimlessly and so I thought n-track would be the perfect entry point into the field. Does anyone have reason why I should...

I've been checking out recently the high quality of the mp3's that get posted here and I feel so ashamed to be posting this. Let me give you all some background info. This is a recording I made on a Tascam 424MkII using a single Behringer XM2000 mic over a year ago. I'm playing guitars and...

I already own a Jim Dunlop Crybaby Wah pedal and have no problems with it's tone, but have never really felt comfortable using it... I don't like that there isn't an indicator light to tell u when it is active. I find sometimes that I accidently don't turn it off and it then takes me a few...

Hi everyone, There have been a number that I have read fairly recently about how important it is to use a good set of near field monitors when mixing down. An issue that I don't belive has been addressed however is that of monitoring when actually recording the track. I would have thought...

Hi everyone, I've got a Behringer XM2000 microphone and was wondering how good it is compared to other mics. I only use it for 4 track recording and have found very little wrong with it, but I was wondering how it compares to industry standard mics such as SM57's and 58's etc. Any info much...

Hi everyone, Can someone explain to me the need for "specialized" monitors for mixing down? When I mix down I just use normal stereo as the monitor. How do "near-field" monitors differ from ordinary speakers? Thanks Paul
