Hey people, A problem. I have 700hz Duron, 256MRam. I have eight tracks with no more than three effects per track, some not that much, and my CPU is bouncing in the red. All running programs were closed when the redline occured. I restarted and it was still the same and that is with all...

Hello, Hope this is the best forum for this question..... Is there a rule of thumb about which effects to use on which drum? I know for instance that reverb is good for snare but usually not used on Kick. What about cymbals and toms? I usually just want as organic/real sounding kit as I can...

hello, I need a new stage mic and I can't by a Neuman...is the Sennheiser E855 a good one....I'm used to Shure 58's and 57's but would like something with the potential to kick my live vocals up a notch. Thanks, Rusty K

Hello all, I've got a song/mp3 up and I'd like some tech. critique. Here's the link. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/blues/royl/# The song is....Girl I've Got It Bad. The only song up so far. A big hole where a solo needs to be and will be as soon my guitarist is available...

Hello, I'd like to post an Mp3 for critique but I can't seem to figure out how to do it at Mp3.com. They say I can't upload anything from my hard disc. just something from a CD. Am I looking in the wrong place for storage? Thanks Rusty K

Hello, I've been using shure 58's and 57" for years. I thought I'd give some others a try, perhaps even a condenser mic. Does anyone know anything about mics like the Sennheiser E855 or the Audix OM-5 or OM-6. Thanks, Rusty K

Hey I'm not an electronics tech. I'm just cheap. I have a powered stage monitor that has recently expired though the speaker and horn are still ok. I'd like to convert it to a non powered monitor unfortunatly the crossover is built into the amp circuitry. My question is.... Where can I find a...

Hello, I've got this annoying problem. The volume of my tracks with a mic and pre amp, that is vocals and acoustic guitar, is extremely low as compared to what I am hearing in my headphones. I have the line in faders up all the way in my sound card mixer but tracks are barely audible...

Hey folks, I'm in a hurry right now or I'd read more of the other threads to maybe find my answer but.....I was wondering if anyone uses compression/limiting when laying down vocal tracks. My voice can be harsh with spikes at certain freq.. So far I've just been going in without any processing...

Hey guys, I've been away for awhile actually not "away" but just damn busy. I'm finally spending some quality time using the knowledge that I've gained visiting Home Recording. Anywho! I've never used the punch-in function in N-Track. Would someone take the time to tell me how to best...

Hello, I'm now recording 24bit and have in the past recorded my "active" bass just direct in with pretty good results. Now it seems my level has dropped with the new 24bit card to about -15db. I have to drop everything else down while recording. Not really a problem but I was just...

Hey, I could have sworn that I posted this message here before but I can't find it. I just went 24bit and I would like to get straight on just how to maximize my sound quality for the eventual CD. My soundcard support suggested that if I record analog in, that I should sample at 44100 as...

Hello, Just trying to get started with my new Lynx One soundcard and I've already run into a problem. I've imported a 16bit/44100 mono generated drum track. I converted it to 24/96000 and it plays just fine but now when I begin to record my guitar tracks and I go to monitor settings the...

Hello, I just installed a Lynx One and have tried to import my PC Drummer wav. N-track is only resampling about a fourth of the wav. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is occuring? Thanks, Rusty K

Hello everyone, I'm a very happy camper. My Lynx is installed with no problems. I fired it up for the first time with my SBL level settings still there and it almost blew my head off. This is gonna be great! Thanks to Ed and everyone for their help with the install. Happy tracking! Rusty K

hello, I use PCdrummer and I've found some really good sounding kit samples from an Alesis D4. They're traditional acoustic sounding samples. My question is: how much further processing should I do to my drum tracks? There is already verb on the kick and snare and all together is sounds like...

Folks, I've almost got my pennies saved up enough to get a Lynx One. I've never installed a soundcard. Is there someone here that could walk me through the installation when I'm ready? Thanks, Rusty K

Good day, I running 700hz and I just added another 128MRam to make 256. Would this cause my defrag time to roughly double? Also I had to defrag three times today. Admitedly I worked all day with wav's. How did I help myself by adding RAM besides more memory? Also I've seen posts a long...

Good day, I'm a vocalist as well as a player and have recorded many times in various studios. My very good but not great, voice has been rendered pretty well in the studios but I've never felt that my stage vocals have been captured. Now that I am attempting to produce myself on my PC I would...

Hello, I'm considering upgrading my sblive value. Questions: 1. 16 or 24bit? 2. Which is the best quality 16bit card? 3. For a limited budget, are there good sites/places to pick up a gently used card? My system: 700hz AMD Duron, 256MRAM, ME Thanks, Rusty K
