Hello, Anyone familiar with EAC for extracting audio and making clean CD copies. I've been having some quality probs so I downloaded it but I'm having a little trouble getting it set up. Thanks, Rusty K

I'm sure I've seen this subject discussed here before so just direct me to it if you can. I'm getting pops whenever I try to copy a CD I burned using Adaptec Easy CD. The original burned ok. What advantage is there to using Copier Deluxe since it seems to take about as long as burning from...

I'm trying to get the best acoustic guitar sound I can and I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm using a Sennheiser mic and Seymore Duncan pick-up into separate channels of a Presonus Blue tube and into a compressor then into my 4trac MD recorder. Sounds pretty good but I'm getting a intermitent...

Hello everyone, I've been absent for a couple of months due to a crisis in my home,broken pipes and subsequent flood damage. I am very happy to be back online finally and playing music instead of playing "handy-man". I've got new gear/computer with a Sound Blaster Live card. I'm just...

Well here's my Mp3 with most of the revisions suggested from my first post. It's still lacking a lead guitar part and I still don't have that tube preamp that I desperately need. Try to imagine a fade at the end with guitar riffing. I probably won't remix again until the guitar trac in laid...

Thanks again for all the response to my first mp3 posting. I'm almost ready with a post suggestion, new improved (I hope) version. My internet server gives me only 2gb's of traffic on my website and downloading large files eats it up quickly. I've purchased more traffic but I would like to...

Can anyone enlighten me about the differences between these models? Thanks, Rusty K

I'm using a Sony 4trac digital to record and I'm at an impass. Should I get outboard gear such as compression, effects or should I just upgrade to a more professional editing software such as Cool Edit with pro effectors. Would someone please sell me on Cool Edit? Thanks, Rusty K

Well here's my neck chop it off! The song is one I wrote 25 yrs. ago and never recorded. I'm just trying to tie up loose ends so if it sounds dated try to overlook it and just give me technical advice. It's just me and my boss drum-machine. I won't tell you what other equpment I used. It...

Hey what gives I'm a bass player? I'm mixing from a 4trac digital to computer. I'm using altec multimidia for monitors.I know not the best reference but still..... My general rule of thumb is that nothing should rattle the speakers. Why am I continually having to roll off bass? I get a good...

I'm recording with a Sony MDM X4 and I've heard much said here about the necessity of a tube preamp to add warmth to digital recordings. I just brought one home and about all it does, besides boosting the signal, is add a hell of a lot of noise to my tracs. If this is "warmth" I don't want it...

I'm getting bleed from my headphones when I'm recording vocals. Not as much on acoustic guitar as the mic is further away. I use Sony's. Does anyone have a suggestion for eleminating this prob.? I've been able to take most of it out with noise reduction but there should be a way to prevent it...

Hey I've been absent for awhile. This is great to find upon my return. Rusty K

I have a Tascam 4x12 CD burner with Adaptec software. I don't think its set up right. During test to CD everything was ok but when it went to write I got a "check media" dialog box. Punched retry same thing/ switched CD's, same so I cancelled and saved the session. I then went to file/createCD...

If this question has been answered just direct me to it but I've scanned arcives with no luck yet. I just tried burning my first audio CD. A failure. I'm using Tascam 4x12 with Adaptec. It must not be set up right. It finished the test process but when it got to write, the media dialog box came...

I've been paying for two months on a Tascam 4x12 at Mars Music. It was sold as a clearance item for $350 with the assurances that it was cheaper because the new models were coming out. That seemed fair. I paid it off today and got it home only to find everthing had been opened CD's fell from...

Does anyone have suggestions for making a drum-machine sound as little like a drum-machine as possible. I already keep them as far back in the mix as possible and I use effects, reverb etc. to desguise them. Or if this topic has been discussed just direct me to the closest archive. Thanks, Rusty

I'm under the impression that effects should go on last after all equing and filtering. Is that true? My problem is that I'm mixing from a digital 4trac into editing software that doesn't have very good effects so I'm having to use my Nanoverb before I go into the computer. Then I use software...

Would someone explain "notch" EQ settings and their application for me? Thanks much. Rusty K

Are these units still obtainable? I've been to dbx pro.com but the only one they list is the 266 XL. I'm assuming the 262 is an older model. I'm just trying to save a little money if possible. Rusty K
