I need to record vocals and dialogue for two or more performers simultaneously (it's for one of my musicals). I'll be recording at the performers' homes -- studio recording is not an option. I have two GXL2400 condensers and an MXL 990 condenser, stands with shock mounts, pop filters and a...

I compose and orchestrate in X2 and, frequently, can have 20 to 30 tracks. I have a reasonable AMD quad-core under Windows 7 with an SSD but only 4 gig of RAM. When I've finished a piece, I'll export the tracks to wav and then important in Audition 3.0 for final mixing. Last night, I decided...

I use both Audition 3.0 and CS6. I like CS6 for mixing, 3.0 for mastering and CD burning. I also have dozens of projects mixed in 3.0 and, even with a tool like SES3SEX, they don't convert well to CS6. A couple of weeks ago, my computer contracted a virus (probably thanks to my wife, but...

I'm trying to find a way to use a scoring program (I have Finale 2012, Sibelius 7 and a couple of others) with a DAW (I use Sonar X2, but also have Audition CS6). I want to do two things: Have the output of the scoring program route MIDI to the DAW so that I can record separate MIDI tracks in...

I just got a pair KRK Rokit 8" near-fields. Up until now, I'd been mixing with a good pair of Shure studio phones. Wow, what a difference! I got home late and didn't have a lot of time to play with monitors, but I put up a few mixes. The difference between the "inside the center of your...

I have, for years, mixed with headphones and, not surprisingly, that hasn't produced the best results (complicated by the fact that I have 20% hearing loss in my right ear :)). I finally broke down and ordered a pair of KRK RP8G monitors. I'm also considering a sub-woofer, as the RP8Gs only go...

My writing partner lives too far away to make regular recording sessions possible. I'd like to find a way where I can record her vocals from my home studio. My home studio is fine -- I have a Fast Track Ultra 8R, a Fast Track Ultra, two quad-core PCs (one is dedicated solely to music)...

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but it seems to come closest. Back in the 80s I started a project that used a lot of hardware synths and samplers. I dropped it (for about 25 years) and just picked it up again. I spent a few months on eBay recreating my old rack (I need that 80s synth...

I've been looking, in vain, for somewhere to discuss musical theater composition and lyric writing. Anyone here interested?
