I've never used Rewire, but am considering putting Ableton into my Studio One. I assume that one needs sufficient memory to run both DAWs at once plus Rewire, unless I misunderstand the nature of the thing. Thanks

Approaching autumn has me getting into recording mode. I use Studio One, but I'm going to spend a number of days with some other DAWs just to see if another workflow or style will jump up and love me. I'm going to demo Ableton, and probably Pro Tools, and I am wondering about Cakewalk. People...

......... requires users to be online when using, and data is saved to a Pro Tools server, not to the user's hard drive. ?? Does anyone use this? I can see possible problems, besides being a general annoyance.

About once a year I start sniffing around other DAWs, and it occurred to me that I have never taken Pro Tools for a test drive to see if the work flow agrees with me. After all, it's probably the most loved and hated DAW out there. Since the 'First' version is free, perhaps I might. The PT...

Plugin Boutique is offering Sample Magic's A-B reference tool for $30, it's on sale. I'm not familiar with such a tool, but from the description, I more or less get the point. Can someone here advise as to whether or not such a thing is really useful? Thank you.

I somehow (blame it on the wine) managed to semi-delete a bunch of plugins without (apparently) uninstalling some of them. As a result, I have programs which no longer show in my DAW but still have files hanging around in 'program files' and similar, and which still show in registry. Also...

I have just acquired a combination mic preamp-compressor. Radial PreComp™ Channel Strip I also ordered a mic preamp-EQ combo. Radial PreMax™ Channel Strip The Pre/EQ unit has a switch to change the impedance to instrument level, but the Pre/Comp does not. Would a passive or active Direct Box...

I know that an external pre is usual treatment for a ribbon, but I'm wondering if one could record a ribbon without a boosting pre if amp volume was high. Thanks

I have my Blues Jr. connected (Rapco Horizon speaker cable) to the 8-ohm input of my Jettenuator, and then with a Fender instrument cable from the line output 1/4" of the Jettenuator to the guitar input of my Babyface. It buzzes like 90, whether I'm playing or not. I tried the mic sim output...

I have the Rode, and I have bought a couple of other mics recently for the sake of experimenting with mic types and models. What I want to know is if the Spark is worth experimenting with. If it is not noticeably different in style from the Rode, I won't bother. The $$$ at this price point...

I just received a Jet City Jettenuator which I bought myself for Christmas in order to do low-volume recording. I see that it is also a load box, which means that I should be able to send my Blues Jr.'s signal to my Babyface for silent recording. The Blues Jr. has a line out for external...

Simply because I didn't have a 'small,' I bought a Rode M3, on sale. I am experimenting, and would like an opinion or two. How would you set up to mic an amp - Blues Jr. - for fairly soft jazzy-melodic chord stuff? I'll try it all ways (today) but any wisdom would be appreciated. Thanks

Isn't that a bit............ big? Will it take over my computer?

Melda MStereoProcessor, DrMS, SoundToys MicroShift, PSP StereoPacck, etc.. Do you use them? Which ones? Are they clean, or do they leave garbÃ*ge attached? Thanks

1) When I created my account and connected my device, I received a registration or account number of...... oh, about a zillion numbers. I stupidly lost it. Is that visible in one's account somewhere? Thanks.

Does it matter if you use your real name and other info? I tend not to use it if I don't need to in case someone hacks a database with me on it. Thanks

Do they bug the snot out of you if you buy through them? I'd rather deal with the manufacturers of the products, but the discounts can be substantial. Do the manufacturers offer discounts direct after a first purchase through a discounter? Thank you.

Serious compressors are $$$. I'm wondering these cheap critters would work on light-to-medium vocal compression. Thanks.
