    Program locked up

    Hello, Something tells me that my forgetting to "save session" while I worked has caused the program to hang. I would really like to save this work if I can. I'm running XP so I went to my C drive temp folder and there was a pretty large CEP file there dated currently. Is this my "save"...

    mastering

    Hello, I just mastered a track and tried something for the first time. I'm not sure of the results. The track registered a bit louder in the left channel so I used the "balance" function in my mastering software to even the channels. The resulting wave looks skewed/flattened in the upper...

    DC offset confusion

    Even after reading the help files I'm very confused about DC offset and whether or not to correct for it. I can obviously see an offset in many of my tracks. Do I have a problem that needs correction or don't I? I have for a long time wondered why some of my tracks seems hotter on one side...

    Insights for and intermediate

    Hello, I'm beginning to get some good results in understanding the "audio mosaic". I've learned the importance of getting a good track in the beginning so now I jump right into mixing and usually wait for processing till the very final stages of the mix....much easier on the cpu. I'm usually...

    CD Player Choice

    Hello, I've got a little problem and I'm not really sure which forum would be best to post in. I need to take tracks from CD's into my computer. Can't extract because of pops and clicks present. Unfortunately I'm going to have to use a CD player and record the tracks I want (no pops or...

    Mastering: Art vs Science?

    Hello, I've been making coasters lately since I got real monitors. Funny but I had less problems when I was using my stereo to mix. My mixes sound fabulous on my monitors and I've gotten them to sound fine on my stereo but I go out to listen to a discman I have hooked up in my truck and they...

    making "clean" CD copies?

    Hello, I've been having some trouble getting clean CD copies burned. The finished result is rife with little pops etc. I have a pro burner and never had the problem with anything I've burned from scratch so I've decided that it must be a CDROM "read" problem. I read at 2x. I'd love some...

    What am I missing?

    hello, Even when I mute my "analog in" or take the faders to zero in my soundcards mixer, I'm still hearing my input from guitar/whatever. This is very frustrating since it would seem that the signal I'm monitoring should be the same as the signal that is being recorded. The only way to...

    Headphone amp for RA150?

    Hi. I just got an Alesis RA150 and I need a headphone amp. I'm used to mixing through a Stereo (Onkyo 2500MkII) with a headphone jack. I will not argue that this was the best setup but I'm used to getting a pretty nice sounding headphone mix. I'm in the dark about headphone amps. Could...

    Headphone connection confusion?

    Hi, As usual one problem blossoms into a "tree with many branches". It' really my problem in understanding just how to get my headphones hooked up with my Alesis RA150. I guess I need a headphone amp? I'm way in the dark on these...which one would compliment my RA and Tannoy Reveals? Rusty K

    minor emergency!

    Hi, I've been using an Onkyo 2500MkII ( I know, never use a stereo for a studio monitor) with Tannoy Reveal's. My left channel on the Onkyo has been fading and is now breaking up so it looks like the end for now since I would go nuts waiting the month it takes to get it back from the shop. I...

    signal when I don't want signal

    Hello, I don't know where this computer question should go so I'm trying here. I still hear audio plugging/unplugging instruments even though I've muted all my soundcards ins and outs. Why do I still get the pops of equipment being turned on an off? Thanks, Rusty K

    My final thoughts on ntrack

    This is not meant to dis ntrack or anyone using it. It's an honest assessment of the program as I see it having used it for a year and a half. I might add that I have not used all of ntracks features like midi. I purchased ntrack, when I decided to get into home recording, as a very...

    Buy in the box or online?

    Hey, I'm twelve days into my demo of CEP and I believe it has most every feature I would ever need as a songwriter/player. I would like advice on which way to buy. Are there any advantages to buying CEP in a box instead of downloading? Another consideration is that I've actually done some...
