    Dc Offset

    What is it? Why does it happen? How do you deal with it? What will it do to your recording? Here is a screen print of some DC offset in my mix... should I be worried or is this nothing? I can't hear anything wrong really...

    the gruesome twosome

    I don't know how this keeps happening but I keep getting two track readings (L/R?) for tracks in my waveform displays! Is there a way to toggle back to a single track view?

    Wave Freakout Q:

    Check out this shot of my kick drum track. This is what it looks like after a half hour or so of EQing and dynamics processing trying to fatten it up. The wave kind of hangs to the right (like my johnson). I believe the term to describe this phenomenon is DC offset? Does cool edit have a...

    Cool Edit Saves the World

    I'm in the middle of my first REAL official cool edit session. I've done my experiments, the band finished the studio in the basement and now we are working on recoding our songs. I'm on my 20th track, but have way over a hundred .wav files for this song alone. Most are due to overdubs and...

    Best of MP3 Mixing Clinic

    Every now and then you run across a gem in this forum. I have a hard time keeping up with it because of all the new stuff flying around in here and after a few bouts with some not-so-great downloads and stuff. But there have been some great ones! What have your favorites been? :eek: Here's a...

    Head Fuck

    I was drunk and fucking around last weekend and now I can't figure out what I did, so maybe one of youse dudes can enlighten my sorry ass. I'm using SB Live, and can't record through my line in for some reason. I just get a steady flat line on my wave-o-meter with an occasional spike when I...

    just how cool is cool edit pro?

    I'm relatively new to the arena of PC recordings, but I've got a few full-on cooledit pro recordings under my belt now. I've been through the process, and I do agree it's pretty fucking cool. My tests runs have been somewhat limited, just trying t get through all the way to mixdown, so I may...

    Marshall MG Series Amps

    Finally being a dad has really paid off and I got me a phat MG100RCD amp for father's day!:D Only trouble is that I don't have a speaker cab to plug it in to to hear how it sounds. I've played through the JCMs and absolutely love them, but I'm not sure how the solid state will compare to...

    The Envelope, Please...

    Same problem as the "volume jumps at 1:55" thread. I've got spikes all over the place, and I want to try to go in and envelope the spike, and fix each one, but I'm not up on the process. The problem is that I record without any external compressor/limiter, or if I do use compression, it's my...

    volume jumps at 1:55

    look at the picture... what would be the best way to solve this? Compression? If so, is there a preset here that would do the trick?

    Show and Tell

    Are there any of you out there using Cool Edit Pro with SB Live? This is what I 'm using, and basically nothing else. I'm noodling with my first attempts on this system... Most of my recording will initially be done either running direct (using a Tascam Porta07 as a mixer) or miking via an...

    monitor/ headphones config. with SB Live

    What's a guy to do? I've got 1 little line out....and I don't want to get into an expensive headphone mixer/ amp. I called Guitar Center to ask Pro audio what they've got and the dork told me the first thing I need to do is upgrade my sound card. Well I eventually will, but for now I need a...

    Is there a manual?

    Does cooledit pro come with a manual, or are you supposed to rely on the help menu? The help seems to basically suck. There are problems I've run into that I've been able to solve by posting my questions here that I never would have figured out with the help of that stupid help. I can't...

    I'm Bound to Penetrate Mother Nature's Soft Moist Glory Hole, But I Need Your Help!

    I need some samples of nature sounds like animals, birds, insects, wind, rainforests, water, misterqcue's wheezing after eating a gelatin-coated horse jerky, etc. Any free software or downloadable crap would suit me just fine if you were to know the whereabouts. Thanks.

    2 X 12 combo amp for under $400 US

    Is Roland really that bad? I've played a few Roland combos that rock, and seem to have a pretty cool sound. I especially liked the one with the tremolo feature, but I've never owned one. I'm not asking for too much, but I have a few requirements: 2 channels that can be switched between by a...
