Ok i am thinking about getting the Mackie onyx mixer with the firewire card. I was having a look for firewire soundcards (as i expect one is needed to connect the mixer to my computer) but they were all hundreds of pounds. Someone please tell me that you can get a decent firewire sound card for...

Ok I moved this thread because of it being wasted by the infamous "Mystery records". Anyway this is an acoustic number with some nice percussion which gives it a kind of african flavour. Song "BLOODSHOT" http://www.soundclick.com/bands/3/archamedies_music.htm Any comments from anyone (expect...

Im looking for a quality vocal mic that doesnt cost an arm and a leg like Neumann mics and is a good mic for recording diferent singers. Any suggestions?

Would i be right in saying that plug-ins use up processor power and RAM? I am wanting to buy a new computer and set it up so that it can handle loads of plug-ins. Like 60 plug-ins or so to be on the safe side incase i record a song with many many tracks. Ive heard the Pentium4 is good but the...

Anyone used one of these? Anyone know if the pre amps are any good. Only really looking for 16 good pre amps that can connect to my computer via firewire for less cables. But thought that the onyx would be a good idea.

This is another song that I mixed for the same artist. This is a really nice song just as good as the last one, but a bit of a different style. Mixed in exactly the same way as the last song. Song: "BLOODSHOT" http://www.soundclick.com/bands/3/archamedies_music.htm Enjoy :) (if anyone...

Heres a mix I did but i mixed it in a special way. pity its not got anything to do with Mystery records. :( :D Song: "STIRLING" http://www.soundclick.com/bands/3/archamedies_music.htm Anyone have any idea why its a special mix?

Has anyone ever used a short (almost) inaudible delay on distorted guitars at the choruses (ie thick struming parts) to add depth to the guitars? Ive never tried it but I though i would ask to see if anyone has used this technique and had good results from it. I was thinking so the listener...

Does anyone know if the AKG C414s polar pattern can be changed to hypercardioid? What would the cymbal for hypercardioid look like?

Ok i know that hypercardioid means that the mic will pick up exactly what it is pointed at. Its more direct. But do the AKG C414 mics have a switch so you can change the polar response? What would the cymbal for hypercardioid look like? Sorry, im not very good with tech stuff.

Anyone use or like using the Sonic Maximizer plug-in? What do you think it does to your sound, in your own words?

Anyone think that the MP3 mixing clinic is getting a little crowded? I mean i will put up a tune and it will be gone from the 1st page in like a few hours or so!! and so doesnt really get many replies. Who thinks that it would be a much better idea to have two seperate MP3 sections? One for...

Is a 20ft guitar cable ($30 roughly) going to kill alot of the high end when recording guitar? Do XLR cables conribute to loss in high end in the same way that guitar cables do?

I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 and it has a line, mic and digital IN. They are the small inputs though. Like the size of the connetor for MINI DISC headphones, comprende? Does going from a larger say XLR cable to the miniture size inputs on the Audigy 2 mean that much sound quality is lost or...

Just wondering what yous think of this guitar tone I recorded. It is a few tracks with some panning, but this is the rough idea of my bands song. Is the tone got too much hi? too much lo? too muddy? etc.... Song "TONE"...

is there such a plug-in made that works as a pre-amp. So you could put that plug on a track and then send the output of that to the track you want to record to so the pre-amp volume and colour are recorded to HD? Its just that i dont have a pre-amp or mixer so i am going straight into my line in...

I am trying to record my guitar from a GT6 effects processor to the line in on my Soundblaster audigy2. I am using the ASIO Direct X duplex driver as my audio I/O at 44.1kHz. I cant seem to get an input into Cubase VST, but I can get an input when I use a mic in the mic input. I can hear the...

Ok this is my newest and prob fav remix. The songs are Foo fighters "My hero" and Prodigy(again!) "Voodoo people". A totally grinding beat with strings that I wrote in and other samples. I used a bass sample and pitch corrected each note to make a bass line. Enjoy. :) Song: "NEW REMIX"...

How do you set up aux sends in Cubase VST 5? I cant seem to send a track to another track. And i cant seem to be able add an auxiliary track, it just sets up an oridnary track. Any help on this would be super.

I was just wondering how to get the best out of my CPU from using plug-ins on my computer (VST and DIRECT-X). Because when i add any more than say 10 the CPU usage meter goes into the red and the sound starts going all jittery. What can i do so that my computer can handle more plug-ins? What is...
