I was having trouble mixing a song - vocals were all muddy and fluctuating in volume all the time. Nothing sounded good. Found out I had my main bus Compressor after the Limiter. I changed the order and everything was back to normal - opened it up and the mix was easy. You wouldn't believe how...

Since I upgraded to Sonar X3 I have had lots of glitches with projects with over 25 tracks. I get static, skipping, weird noises, when I scroll around or try to do track adjustments while listening to a track. On my most recent project and had to nuke form 35 tracks to 25 and then it behaved...

Still have to do some work on the vocals but we've mixed this and would like to know if our levels are all fine. ido1957 - guitars mjhamil - bass, vocals poeticintensity - drums Let me know what you hear.....:D:D:D:D Hamilton Steele - Try it Again

My friend was doing some recording and mixing this morning on Sonar X3. He pushed some key combination and after that the master bus level (the green level in the fader area) dropped in half (faders/gain untouched) and the volume dropped. The only thing he thinks he saw was some snap to grid...

Just curious - I have them on all my guitars and always have. I play a lot standing up so more opportunity for dropping than if sitting.

Here's a new tune we just finished working on this afternoon, called Try It Again. This is our first time using an AKG C414 XLS mic on vocals through an ISA One preamp. Would be nice to get some feedback on how the vocals are mixed as well as the rest. Hamilton Steele - Try It Again

The other day I was playing my guitar and after a few minutes the amp volume jumped and there was a bunch of distortion. I kept playing and after a few seconds the distortion/volume went away. This happened about 4 times over 20 minutes so I disconnected my processor (GP8) and ran straight into...

I just remixed this using my new Lexicon plugins (summer sale). I just used some presets, there's a lot to choose from for each effect/reverb. I'm really having fun trying them all out and they sound pretty good to me. It's going to take me some time to explore it all. Let me know what you...

I just purchased the Lexicon PCM Bundle for half price (500). Sucks that it needs an ilok. They sound really really good so far, guess I'll be doing a lot of playing around to find my favorite settings. I may be busy for a few years remixing everything....

Looking on the Cakewalk website (X3 = What's New) and they say in the video these are part of X3 Producer but I can't find them in my plugin list. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place.... Help!

My friend picked up an AKG C414 XLS last week and an ISA 2 this afternoon. Great sounding and mixes with no eq just a touch of comp via CA2A. Really notice the brightness/harshness in his old NT2A now. It's a good mic but the C414 is a great mic and the pre gives it some nice harmonic...

Added some new diffusers in our recording room this weekend. Will be building bass traps soon....

Auralex LENRD Bass Traps - Charcoal (8) - Long & McQuade Musical Instruments Anyone have any opinions on these bass traps. You get 8 so I was thinking of 2 stacked up in each corner.

Just talked to my friend who is trying to install X3 and it's crashing when he opens old X2 projects (and wants to report them to Cakewalk) He's re-installed a couple of times 32 and 64 bit and is getting catastrophic errors. Anyone have any advice for installing X3 ? Not sure if he installed...

Mike remixed with the proper lead guitar tracks and my latest vocal track. Let me know what you think of this version - getting better? You - Hamilton Steele

Seller cancelled the sale... Notified me there was a crack in the headstock (undisclosed in add, discovered when packing) it didn't look bad so I was going to still get the guitar. Then his luthier confirmed it was all the way through and seller decided to cancel. Disappointed but glad I didn't...

Bought this off Ebay for 600 bucks. I've been looking for ages for a banana neck for my existing Kramer (for down the road) but in this case I get the whole guitar. I might leave it at my friend's place as that's where we do most of our recording nowadays. He has a Marshall JVM210 so it will be...

Redid the vocals using my M-Audio Sputnik into my LA610MKII. Then I redid the mix on this one. Let me know what you think of this one - especially the vocal tone as I'm trying to dial in my preamp for the mic. :D:D:D:D You - Hamilton Steele
