i've got an ibanez sr300dx and i like it, but i'm looking for a 5-string now. i play mostly r&b, go-go, hip-hop band, and reggae styles, so i need a bass with a very good bottom that is not muddy. my price range is $700 or less.

anyone else experience this problem? i reported it to 12-tones. i've got several midi tracks using ports 1 & 2, and 7 audio tracks. the bass is doubled on channels 1 & 2 on port 1. when i delete the cloned track (track 2), SONAR crashes. if i unlink the cloned track first, then delete it...

sonar has monitoring capabilities wherein you select which audio driver(s) is to be used as the input monitor. with CW9, i could monitor on the same track as i record on with no feedback using the digital patch bay from my frontier designs wavecenter/tango d/a/d; however, with sonar this causes...

how low is your noise level when recording? i've been trying to keep the noise level down to -84db (24bit) or so, but that often means that i don't record quite as hot as i would like to. i'm using a sansamp bass di connected to my mackie1604 preamp and my peak level is smacking at around...

I am considering purchasing the roland xv-3080. i currently own the roland sc-880 sound module. can anyone comment on the SOUNDS (both performance and patch) that the 3080 is capable of producing. i play the guitar and bass so i'm not as concerned about those sounds. specifically: do the...

damn. i went to santa monica for the weekend and caught the redeye in time to get back to DC for the day job monday morning, but my ears haven't 'popped'. i tried to record a bass line last night but everything sounded dull. anyone got a solution? i've tried yawning and holding my nose (which...

i'm a guitarist who decided to learn to play the bass as well. i'd already mastered the art of being a fake keyboardist, so i figured i could be a fake bassist too. thing is, i start out being a fake and then i get interested in learning to do it right. when i first started playing i couldn't...

OK, i got my 1.2ghz (12 x 200mhz). i'm using my current pc100 ram. my micropolis scsi drive (they went out of business long ago BTW) had been getting flaky, and now it's just toast. i initally thought the adaptec 390f adapter was the problem, but my ricoh scsi cd-rw still works. anyway...

anyone using the ultrafunk directx compressor? i'm currently using the cakewalk fx compressor, with the dsp-fx peak limiter (the optimizer really) behind it because i don't like the limiter that cakewalk has, and i want to control the stray peaks that get through the compressor and cause the...

i had a steinberger clone (hohner) guitar for years. i used it for recording and for live performance. then i switched to left handed and bought an american standard strat which i adore, although i'd often thought of getting a lefty stein' spirit because they skank better than the strat which...

i'm thinking about upgrading my amd k6-3 450mhz to an amd athlon 1.2ghz with 256m of that super fast ram. anyone already using 1.2ghz with cakewalk? how much did it improve your ability to apply real-time effects compared to your previous system? and what was your previous system?

alright... i'm mixing... i've come to the realization that using a digital compressor won't take care of the peaks that get through before the clamp down... i add a digital limiter (cfx2) after the EQ and compressor to reduce the peak to a manageable level... that damn cakewalk limiter is...

here's the deal. i've always been disappointed with the loudness level of my mastering, even though my individual instruments were nicely compressed, my normalized stereo mix tracks never got where i wanted them unless i squashed the hell out of them with the attack set to 0. then i read an...

what's the consensus on EQ'ing reverb/chorus FXs? I used a high pass filter in front of a DSP-FX studioverb (direct-X) patch in cakewalk and it sounds pretty darn good. is this something that normally needs to be done with outboard reverb processors as well? the only outboard fx i've ever used...

my mix sounds fine without the bass. with the bass it's a bit muddy. how can i get the mud out without losing the bottom. where's the mud tone? and how wide of a cut do i need?
