    That dang Door!!!

    I'm adding a second room onto my home studio and am putting cinderblock and sheetrock between the two rooms to isolate the recording booth (my old room) from the iso booth (the new room) where cranked amps will be. This should be adequate, only one problem, there is a door between the two rooms...

    Delta 1010 What do you think?

    I'm thinking of getting the M-Audio Delta 1010. Anyone have one? What do you think? Will it work with Windows 2000? I use 98 right now but am thinking of switching to 2000 to get more out of SONAR's WDM drivers. I have a 20 bit card right now. Will there be a big difference in quality?

    Tube in Mic or Preamp?

    Should I put my money into a good tube preamp with a Rode NT2 or non tube preamp with a tube mic like the Rode NT1000? Will I notice the difference? What will it be? And no matter what I buy should I try to upgrade the non-tube component to tube later? Is it redundant to have both be tube...

    Recording Bass tube pre or not?

    I am doing my first real project for someone else other than my band (and for free too I might add for experience). I will be recording their bass direct into my DMan 2044 Card with either an Audio Buddy preamp or dbx Tube pre with the 12AX7 in it. Would the tube make the bass muddy? Can I just...

    Amp Isolation Box

    I want to build an isolation box in my garage to record my cranked Fender Twin Amp in. It needs to be very dense I imagine in order to keep sound as quiet as possible outside of it, but I don't want something so heavy I can't move it. Any ideas? Also what does anyone think of using cinderblock...

    Exporting submixes

    I want to export only certain tracks from my project so that I can have them as a wav file mixed together, i.e. all drum tracks mixed down to a wav file. This is to reduce the processing power on my computer. However, whenever I do this Cakewalk is exporting ALL the tracks. I have tried using...

    How do I get a powerful guitar sound?

    I'm in a power trio blues band along the lines of Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn. We are trying to do our own album mostly in my home studio. I am using Cakewalk, a MIDIMan 2044 (20 bit), and Audio Buddy for my Mic Pre's, and SM57 for a mic for recording my guitar tracks. The guitar distortion...

    Mixing Tracks together into submixes

    My CPU meter kept having the "dropout" alarm go off, and usually that's because there's too many Cakewalk Effects on too many tracks. So I wanted to mix tracks into submixes or export them into stereo wav files and create a new project with them and put effects on them as a whole: i.e. all...
