I was recording Cubase last night with a short drum beat and the little selectors on the timeline had this area of the drum beat highlighted. As I recorded bass between the selectors my recording cut out exactly at the point the selectors ended. "Great," I thought, "This loops absolutely...

Is this a no go? My band has two guitars, there are a lot of occassions in songs when one guitar will solo or play a lead riff, and where there is no sining. The other guitarist will usually just play power chords in this time - should I be re recording the rythmn backings in this time with...

I'm looking for a synth or a technique that creates robotic industrial style noises and beeps. Any ideas guys? Something that could just compliment and electronic mix. Thanks in advance, Sammy.

The other day I attempted to record some guitar on top of a synth track I had made. After recording the track, I went back to listen to it (it was just a guitar strum in fairness) and it sounded horribly out of place. Possibly because of the build up into the strum and possibly becasuse of the...

I'm sure this question has been asked before - I had a little search around but didn't really find the answer to my question, but yeah anyway, back on subject. I'm in a "classic rock" band, and I certainly am considering playing a synth in the band, the second guitarist dropping to my current...

Timewarp is confusing the fuck out of me. I recently made some midi tracks at 140 bpm, and bounced them to audio. I created a new project, totally forgetting about tempo and went on working with automation and shit. Sounded all great. Then I looked at the metronome settings and saw the metronome...

I've just made the switch from Adobe Audition to Cubase SX3, ready to take the recording and mixing thing a bit more seriously. I am curious however, as to if there is a plugin I can use to get a sweepy EQ effect. There was one in Adobe Audition, I forget the name, but I loved it. I used it for...

I am looking at recreating that really low fuzzy sound as heard in a lot of the Cardigans songs. I looked at overdrive pedals but they all seemed to harsh for what I wanted. Should I be looking at some processing following the overdrive to maybe compress it into that lo-fi fuzz sound. I am...

I have searched these forums, searched Google, and referred to the Cubase manual, but I still can't loop in Cubase SX. I can make a midi section, say for a verse, and I then want to loop say a 4 bar sequence or whatever. i can use the cycle tool. But thats not how I want to do it. With...

But one thing is putting me off - apparently it only runs on batteries? Is there no output for mains? Are they worth the cash? I play in a rock band, and would maybe use it to incorporate in recordings, and maybe live too. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I'm going to get some studio monitors over the coming weeks, and these two seem to be the best monitors in my price range. Can anyone advice which ones are better? Personal experience and general advice would be appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance, Sammy.

Looking at picking up a Bass POD XT Live, mainly for effects - possibly for a little bit of recording (demos and such). By the look of the feature list there seems to be an amazing amount of live effects I can use, and for someone who is really into effects on their instrument I am slightly...

Hi everyone, Firstly I have indeed searched through the back catalogue of topics, which seemed to answer my initial question regarding how good the Toneport is. It seems like it is recommended for a person like myself who doesn't have the equipment, space or room setup in order to mic my amps...

Should I get a subwoofer with my monitor speakers or not? I ask because I am unsure whether you are meant to mix with a subwoofer or not. With a subwoofer on surely this can lead to being shy with applying the bass in the mix. Or am I wrong?

I remixed one of my bands songs "Conflict of Interests". Would appreciate your thoughts. I wanted the drums to be more thumpy. Thoughts? http://www.myspace.com/sammybarker EDIT: Shit the bed I put the wrong link :P

Now I know what you are thinking - "Go and learn music theory you n00b"... but I am curious as to why no one has made such a thing yet (maybe they have but I can't find it). Imagine you have just got a guitar chord sequence worked out. Maybe a guitar sequence? Chordfind.com will help you if you...

Hi guys, I am thinking of setting up a little home studio area over the summer. This is not meant to be a full on a studio with sound proofing etc - I want to get to grips with using the software, get a real feel for mixing, and just get some general experience in before I plan on taking this...

How good is this system for recording? I am looking at getting a new setup for recording - and I want some kind of direct amp modelling hardware. The sort of stuff I would look at recording is mainly rock, classic rock, grunge and also with the possibilty of some sugar coated guitar rock. The...

... And I know you will scoff 'cos it isn't all that great... YET if you measure improvement then I am very happy. And I want to improve EVEN more. Please tell me what you think of the mix and the song, and where I can improve (both areas) next time: http://www.myspace.com/slipperynipplerock...

www.myspace.com/slipperynipplerock Pretty shite setup we have... but you get the idea, what do you think of the song (structure, lyrics, riffs, etc.) Lyrics are on the MySpace.
