As I mentioned in this thread there are instances when higher sampling rates would be useful. Specifically this was in relation to the internal DSP processes that occur in soft-synths and was not dependent and was regardless of AD/DA process, external I/O or any coversion (such as subsequent SRC...

Who does what with a sampler?

I was reading kunalkho's post, and a question popped in my head. I have some sample libraries that I have purchased. One of them is from Ubershall. To my dismay it turned out to be one of those "construction kits", although there is some stuff that I can use (no, I don't use an entire loop...

So, Cubase 5 is out. On paper it seems to have some interesting new tools that would finally make it worth for me to upgrade from SX2. Any impressions from anyone on this forum?

Can anyone recommend a sample library or sample player plugin of a recording of group percussion? Imagine a bunch of percussionists playing large drums in a cave. That's the sound I'm looking for. I know Quantum Leap StormDrum has something like this, but I don't have first hand experience...

So, I've been in a creative slump lately. Can't come up with any musical ideas that when I listen back I go "I'm goooood". It's more like "yuck... what's up with that hackney'd nonsense", "what was I thinking", and the like. So, instead of beating myself over it I want to try something I...

Chessrock has issues with size KURZWEIL HAS GOT V.A.S.T. FYI, I did edit my sig, cuz you were right, it was starting to get borderline annoying. Of course, you'd understand the fanaticism that many Kurzweil owners share, if you had one :p

Here's a post from Dave Weiser, Senior Soundware Engineer, Kurzweil R&D You can read more and participate in a lively discussion at SonikMatter.

So... Finally getting close enough to upgrade my aging AMD Athlong XP 2100+ machine. This is what I've ordered so far: Biostar TForce550 (one of the very few MoBos with nVidia chipset that has 4 PCI slots... needed to fit my Audio interface, UAD-1, etc.) AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 4GB of RAM (OCZ...

Hi guys Do any of you have the UAD-1 (old PCI classic one) installed on a motherboard with the nVidia nForce 500 chipset for the AMD AM2 socket processors? Any issues? The reason I ask is because the UA site lists a known problem with the dual-core AMD processors and the nForce4 chipsets, and...

Yesterday I had a first hand experience with how having a good backup will save your ass. My wife and I went to our wedding photographer's studio to go over what pictures were going to end up in our wedding album. Everything was good, until we realized that a whole set of pictures were missing...

In your experience, which box has the smothest sounding reverb? I am looking for one that works well with fast transient sounds, can be set for 2-3 seconds of tail w/o the tails starting to sound metallic. I've listened to some IRs of Eventides and these also have that metallic tails. I can...

Any ideas what I should look at? I am looking for something that supports the dual-core Athlons and supports at least 3 old PCI slots. Most of the MoBos that I look at nowdays are those SLI type stuff that doesn't have enough PCI slots, plus they're based on the nForce 4 stuff that everyone says...

Just popped it on a really nasty synth line yesterday. I have no idea why I had never used it before! Man that thing is a monster! Has a sound all its own. Perfect when you want to add some serious color w/o obviously sounding distorted. Woot! Loving it. :D

WARNING! THIS IS A RANT! I've read a lot of threads here regarding recording to a click track. Usually these are peppered with posts stating that "if you can't play to a click you shouldn't be recording" blah, blah, blah. I'd like to know who was the first genius who decided that recording to...

OK. We constantly post questions about how to properly record this or that, best practices, how to achieve "good" sound, what to avoid, accompanied by a barrage of "get your source sounding good", "practice 'til cows come home", "if you don't hear the difference between digital and analog you've...

So, the PC3 appears to be a lot more impressive than I originally thought? http://community.sonikmatter.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34828&st=0

When I view modern mastered mixes, specially american rock releases, their stereo field is rather narrow, usually sitting between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. Now, whenever I add reverb, stereo flanging/chorusing to anything, I invariably get some antiphase stuff happening. My question is, does...

I am looking for a portable recorder that's capable of recording in uncompressed 24 bit 44.1 or 48kHz format to do some field sampling (street noises, power tools, cars with noisy engines, nature sounds, etc). It will need to have somewhat decent mic pres but phantom power isn't necessary as...

Just wanted to say thanks to all that have provided valuable insight in mixing. I recently upgraded to Komplete 3. I am using the multimic drum kit that comes standard with Battery 2 in the current tune I'm working on. The general drum recording/mixing tips have been invaluable in helping me...
