Currently, I'm transferring to digital format some of my old punk rock analogue recordings that are typical of the genre: Ramones' style wall-of-sound distorted guitar, simple thobbing bass, drums, vocal...all up loud. (That's as technical as I get - sorry!). Some of the analogue recordings...

Just when I thought I was on top of everything, back I must rush to the good folk of this excellent forum. If you will indulge me yet again, I would be grateful. So... 1. I'm having some problems getting a nice, clear vocal sound in CEP without sounding obviously processed. I want the...

Now that I've got my head around the basics with CEP, it's hard to stay away from the computer! Getting obsessive...I want to transfer some of my old records to CD. Just want to check with experienced users on how to best do this, any tricks/tips etc to maximise sound quality on CD. Will...

Have encountered a new problem in CEP since yesterday - when in Edit trying out various reverb settings on vocals, applying Silence to various sections of tracks and applying any processing changes at all, I can't undo. I have the undo/redo function selected, but the commands are greyed out and...

I have some very old but excellent quality and pretty accurate Spendor hifi speakers set up on either side of my computer to act as monitors when recording and mixing down, and also as computer speakers. They are much larger than the average computer speaker and way less efficient, and can't be...

Just wondering if some experienced CEP users would please give me a few basic tips on mixing down. I've posted a few times in the past about recording and now have my head around that, thanks to the patient and detailed explanations of some of you guys (like lpdeluxe and ozpeter). I'm now at...

This is gonna sound extremely basic - stupid even - to those who know the answer, but I don't understand why there is a R and L channel option for each track in CEP. Why would one not always just record in stereo? I guess my question is: when do you record in stereo, when do you choose instead...

I've programmed a couple of drum tracks for 2 songs I am looking to record using CEP. My drum machine is an Alesis SR16. Rather than simply recording the current drum backings to CEP, then multitracking with guitars, vocals etc over the top in the knowledge that the drums can't be changed...

Just bought this drum machine secondhand through Ebay - it was made in 1990, but from appearances this one is in good condition. However... When I first tried it out, tapping the pads produced sounds at the same volume as the preset patterns. Smartarse decided to wipe the previous user's...

I have been recording some dialogue, including a phone conversation in which one of the voices was miked coming through the earpiece of the phone. Unfortunately, I couldn't amplify the mike signal up enough for the phone voice, and on the finished recording the voices recorded directly through...

Hi. I have an old HR16 drum machine that has stopped working. I stupidly left it in a box unused for a couple of years, then found that the pads were not reactive - couldn't get a sound out of them. They had been insensitive to touch at times in the past when I had been using the machine...

Hi. I have CoolEdit Pro 2.0 and an Audigy Platinum 2 ex soundcard, and have used neither yet. I am trying to convert a cassette tape master of some home recordings to CD, but can't work out how to get to first base. Thus far, I have my cassette player connected to a hi fi amp, which is in...
