I just mixed most of this song today and I was wondering if I could get a little feedback on it. What's good? What needs changing? We're just three 15 year olds, so don't expect perfection. Although we would like it to sound as good as possible. The Link -...

Is there a way to internally route the built in MIDI synth of the SB Live out through the analog outs of my M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card? Thanks, Scott

In a lot of punk songs there are quick slides right before a chorus or something. It's distorted and sounds a little bit like harmonics...but decending in pitch really quickly. A very obvious example is in "Up and Go" by the Starting Line...at around 0:10. In Fat Lip by SUm 41 there is one at...

Is there a way I can set my metronome in SONAR so it is not midi and I can route it out of the analog outs of my audiophile? I have all the DXi plugins that come w/ SONAR XL 2 and I also have Kontakt. Is there a way for the metronome to play one of these soft synths....or am I going to have to...

I have an AMD Athlon 2000+ I noticed it was running at 70 degrees celcius. I havn't noticed any performance issues...i just thought that was a little warm. Could I risk damaging the cpu at this temp? Thanks, Scott

This is a confusing question, but i'll do the best I can to describe my situation. I have an Audiophile 2496, SB Live, and a Behringher 1604A mixer. I want to be able to monitor the mix from the audiophile's analog outs but also be able to hear the SB Live's built in synth for a metronome...

Has anyone else soldered RCA cable ends? I've got a bunch of the switchcraft rca ends. They are very small and difficult to solder. Does anyone have a technique for soldering these? Do you solder the wire to the inside or outside of the "main prong"? Thanks For Your Help, Scott

I have a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card. 2 analog ins 2 analog outs s/pdif in s/pdif out midi in mini out I have the digital s/pdif out of my J-Station connected to the s/pdif in on my audiophile with a digital coaxial cable (75 ohms or something). When I try to record I get nothing...I looked...

I just put a Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invader pickup (it's a humbucker) in my guitar, and even when i am playing with a clean tone it is still distorted and there is some crackling. Is this normal? I don't use this pickup a whole lot when recording clean tones, but I do use it occasionaly. Is...

Today I was installing a Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invader pickup in my Affinity Strat and after getting it all soldered and wired up, I noticed it the humbucker didn't fit great and I am going to have to cut some of the wood between the places where the pickups go. There is a little piece of the...

Hey Everyone, I'm lookin' to buy a new guitar. I play a lot of punk type stuff and my old Affinity Strat just isn't pleasing me. I record through a J-Station and I am not thrilled with the tone; it's a bit fuzzy and thin, not the full distortion you hear in a lot of commercial punk cd's. My...

How would you mic a set with these mics? 1 SM58 1 SM57 3 SM58 Betas Some Audio Technica Mic (really crappy) I have a Yamaha Stage Custom (snare, 3 toms, hi-hat, bass, crash, ride) and it's set up standardly. I know I don't really have the best mics for the job, but what way should I set it up...

I'm thinking this won't work, but I figured I should ask anyways. What I want to do, is be able to control the J-Station in SONAR automatically while recording. I have the J-Station hooked up to the MIDI ins and outs of a Roland UM-1 midi interface. Ex. While recording the guitar part to a...

I've noticed many people using RCA cables (with RCA - 1/4" adapters on the ends) for all their patching. Is there some advantage to this? Is an RCA cable and 2 RCA - 1/4" adapters cheaper that a regular 1/4" cable? I've noticed cheap 1/4" cables seem to degrade over time. Do regular consumer...

Hello All, When I want a thick punchy guitar tone I usually double my guitar part. Play it twice, pan one hard left and the other hard right. I've got this song I’m working on and it has a fairly tricky guitar part. When I double it...the discrepancies between the two really stand out in a...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2519329531&category=23784 I was looking for a plain delta 66 and I can across this for only $150!! Is there something in the description that I am missing? Is it a crappy card? How come only 1 bid so far? If this is a good deal and a...

After looking at the prices of some of these top brand audio cables, I decided I would solder my own. I bought 100' of Mogami audio cabling and a bunch of Switchcraft 1/4" TS cable ends. I just wanna know how I should solder these cables correctly. I assume I should coat both the surface and...

I have a small Frontman 15 watt amp and a Tubeworks Real Tube pedal that I use to record. (It’s all I got) I'm not pleased with the sound I can get from this setup....I usually mic the amp with a SM57. Here is a link to a little blip I recorded. It’s just drums and guitar, no bass, so I know...

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, but i figured this was the best place. I currently submix all my drums in my little Behringer MX1604A mixer and send the main outs to the ins on my studiophile 2496 soundcard. I can get decent results this way but I am thinking of upgrading to a...

Hey Everyone, I have finally purchased some decent equipment for my small bedroom "studio". I can get nice clean sounding tracks and lay them all out in Cakewalk, but then I'm stuck, I don't really know what to do next. All of my songs sound good but not great like a lot of commercial CDs i...
