Maybe I should have asked this question before now, but which mp3 encoder does AA use? Thanks, Rusty K

Hello, I originally posted a question in another forum dedicated to my multitrack software. I haven't really resolved the problem that I was asking about however it has morphed into a larger more general question that I though would perhaps best fit here. The larger general question is....How...

I just mastered a file and converted to mp3. The master when analyzed was at -.49 db both channels. After conversion to mp3 it's clipping. I've had this kind of problem with sample conversion using AA from the git go but this is the first time for an mp3 conversion. What is going on with...

Hi, A stupid question since I've been using AA for so long but I need to add a click track to a session after the fact. That is it's all recorded already. Would someone step me through the easiest way to do this. Thanks, Rusty K

Hi, I was thinking about signing up with the MySpace Store to make my songs available for download/purchase, however after reading the agreement on MySpace I'm hesitant. It seems they have the right to do anything they want with what they term "digital fingerprints" even after one decideds to...

Hello, I'm sure this is an often discussed topic. Generally I haven't used normalization to this point but I've noticed that my masters are not playing well on certain commercial players. Some tracks seem to have slight distortions at max volume. I'm assuming it is true that if you run the...

Hello, My multitrack software doesn't recognise wma files. Does someone have a clue as to how I can get them converted to open with my software? Rusty K

Hey, I'm about ready to finish an equipment upgrade. I just purchased an Ashdown ABM500 HD and I've been using it with an SWR Workingman 4x10, one of my cabinets from my old rig. It sounds fine but I'm sure my Ashdown would sound great through most anything. I've blow a couple of tweeters in...

Hello, I'm getting ready to come out with a CD of music, mostly original but it will have three or four songs I've covered. What should I do legally to protect my ass on the cover songs? Pay a fee to ASCAP or BMI? These are oldies with my arrangements. Could they be public domain and if so...

Hello there, A few weeks back I posted a thread about a problem I was having. That is, headphone distortion monitoring my mixes. A distortion I did not hear on my room monitors. There were many posts and a lot of good advice. One suggestion was to get another pair of headphones to A/B with...

Hello, As I've endeavoured to increase the levels of my mixes/masters a little problem has come up. I A/B as I'm mixing between my monitors and headphones. It seems to help me zero in on the proper placement of tracks in the mix. I've noticed during this process that my headphones seem to...

Hello, Besides being a musician and home recording person, I also do most of my bands promo work. Unfortunately I'm not getting the results that I'd like all the time. I need some graphics software that can create professional quality printing results. I've been using PrintShop Deluxe v 11...

Hey there! Anybody home. Could anyone hook me up with a good/cheap printing company for black and white glossy promotional photos? Thanks, Rusty K

Hi, I've been getting good work done ever since I got my Grace 101 pre but today I put my Nano Compressor in the chain and realized that some compression will really help me get better tracks.....this Nano Compressor ain't worthy! Could someone suggest a more compatible match in the way of a...

Hello, A technique of mine is to crank my monitors and move to another room to listen to my mix. On this one prarticular mix I'm getting a "honk" that is messing with the snare when I listen in the next room....up close I can't hear it. I'm thinking that it's a reverb but I was also wondering...

Hello, Should I uninstall CEP 2.0 before I try to install AA 1.5. I recently purchased a new computer and reinstalled CEP 2.0 and was having problems with CEP recognising plugs. I don't want this problem with my AA install. I had my plugs in one folder (Direct X) within the program file...

Hello, I'm waiting for my AA 1.5 CD to arrive but in the meantime I've been working with my CEP 2.0, trying to learn about looping. I haven't recorded anything else since I reinstalled on my new computer. Today I had a looped drum track saved to session that I was trying to record a guitar...

Come on Guys we need this forum to help keep an objective place to exchange our ideas about CEP/AA. Perhaps a name change for this forum is in order. Can that be done? I'm just now upgrading to AA 1.5 and I might need some help through the process. Rusty K
