    Bouncing (stem rendering??)

    This should be such a basic thing I'm embarrassed to ask it but- I've got 16 tracks of handclaps panned all over the place that I want to go to two tracks (L+R).... I tried just doing a straight render of the time selection with the tracks solo'd, but when I Insert -> Media file to drop it onto...

    Levels ducking in my mixes on car stereo

    Pretty much everything I record has a couple spots in it where it's almost like the levels peak out too much and cause the volume of the entire mix to drop off for a few seconds, before gradually working it's way back up again. This only happens in the car, but it happens in more than one car...

    another double tracking question

    lately i just double track ALL GUITARS except for certain instances (ambient/feedback track etc). a single-tracked guitar just doesn't sound thick enough to cut through anymore. plus i feel like if i ever need a really THICK sound to cut through the other guitars, i can just quadruple-track it...

    Bass/Guit DI solutions- what do you use?

    if there's an older thread that addresses this, feel free to point the way. i couldn't find one in the few minutes i spent looking. so what do you use? i picked up a cheapo used (line6) bass pod rackmount unit a few weeks back just to see what it could do for me. so far i'm not that impressed...

    16 tracks w/ 2 motu 8pres

    ok, so the 8pre comes with both a firewire daisy-chaining feature (2 firewire ports so that multiple interfaces can be connected serially, increasing simultaneous ins) and also ADAT Lightpipe capabilities (which I've never used and know nothing about). i want to connect two of these and give...

    wtf mxl603s??

    i've had these things 3 months and used 15 hours tops. is it normal for them to suddenly start sounding like this? those are L and R overheads. did i do something wrong? could it be dampness? my space is (i thought) pretty dry... one started doing it and then the other within a day.

    sm57- is it a fakey?

    weight seems right wires are yellow and green xlr pins are labeled 1-3 with Shure branded into the plastic -however- when i open it up in the middle, on the capsule side, where the stamp should read "BE", the stamp actually reads "DK" i've heard that the resistance between pins 2 and 3 should...

    problems exporting from zoom h4n

    so, i'm using the h4n in MTR (multi-track mode) and trying to get the WAV files containing the track data over to my Yamaha AW16G workstation. problem is, the G will only eat 44.1/16-bit WAVs (imported thru the CD drive). i've been all over the Zoom's manual, trying to figure out how to select...

    well, 2 actually: so, uh, anyone have any idea wtf is going on with my ampeg 6x10? it's been doing that for about 14 months. the light is coming from behind the speakers. it usually accompanies extreme high-end squealing (not so uncommon with my trashy pickups). i am convinced this is not...
