    Studio Mixing Console Desk - Studio Furniture

    I built this desk about 5 years ago for my project studio. It housed a Soundtracs Topaz 8 mixer and 3 single space patchbays. The top shelf supported my audio monitors and two 19” PC monitors. I'd originally planned on putting 10 spaces of rack storage on the slanted "side car" but decided to...

    Need Help - CueMix Causing Flicker in VST Windows

    I installed CueMix recently along with a MOTU 828MkIII. Everything works fine except when CueMix is running and I open an effects window in Sonar 6, the window has these flickering lines running horizontally across it. If I minimize CueMix, the lines remain but if I close out of CueMix, the...

    A Newbie Question from a not-so Newbie: A/D Converters???

    I tried some internet research but I apparently don’t have enough of an understanding of this topic to even ask a question that Google/Search Function can understand… so here goes. After the birth of my first child in another few weeks, the bedroom that was once just my "studio" will have to...

    Strange CPU Usage Issue with Sonar 6???

    While playing a recent project with about 16 tracks in it (44.1/24bit), I noticed the CPU usage right around 35%, which I would expect given the pluggins I was using the the number of tracks. When I stopped the playback, the CPU usage jumped up to over 90% and if I waited long enough, it would...

    Soundtracs Topaz 8 24-Channel Board w/Meter Bridge

    I actually ended up with two of these awesome boards. I've had board #1 for about 2 years. I bought board #2 a few months back (the one now for sale). I replaced a couple broken pots, replaced some missing knobs and buttons, cleaned it and most importantly did the +4db mod. I then used...

    AUX Sends still audible -- Sonar 6 Studio

    I found this thread: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=195905&highlight=reverb+aux+solo Which seems to end right before my answer would have surfaced. But I'm essentially wondering about the same thing. When I solo an individual track that has an AUX send on it, I hear not only...

    Is my 1/8" Stereo Out Enough???

    I'm certain if my search skills were better I could find the answer to this. But alas.... If all I want to do is hook up a small set of active monitors to my office PC, is it advisable to use some sort of "Y" adapter out of my soundcard's 1/8" stereo output to send signal to the speakers or is...

    First 10 Days with my new KRK VXT6's

    After almost a year of thinking, talking and researching, I finally replaced my 6 year old HR824s. My main complaint (as others frequently have said) with the HR824s is that I've had consistent trouble with the clarity of the bass and often times the kick. I opted for 6.5" drivers this time...

    Routing Functionality in Sonar 6 Studio Edition???

    After realizing I've outgrown my 3 year old copy of Cakewalk Home Studio 2 I've begun looking at what I want to purchase to replace it. My main complaint is the lack of a master buss. I'd like to route multiple tracks to busses and then route those busses to a final output bus. I'd like...

    Master Fader setup & AUX in Home Studio XL

    I have a version of Cakewalk Home Studio XL that I've had for about 2 years, so I'm wondering if the two limitations I encountered are because the software simply doesn't offer them, or if it's me who can't figure out how to do it. First, I couldn't figure out how to set up a Master Fader. IE...

    Options for Acoustic Treatment for Window Behind Monitors

    In my 10'x16' room, I have 7 - 4" thick (2'x4') bass traps and 3 - 2" thick (2.5'x2.5') difusser panels at the early and primary reflection points. I also have 2 2" thick (2'x4') clouds above my mixing position. The one are of the room that has always concerned me though is a 3' x 6' window...

    When you sold your HR824s, what did you buy?

    Understanding that a) monitor choice is very subjective and personal, and b) there's no substitute for trying out as many as possible, I sit here at work where all I can do is read countless reviews and articles on various monitor options...:rolleyes: I read a lot like, "the minute I sold my...

    Looking for low qty of pre-printed blank CDRs???

    I've wrestled with Google for about 25 minutes on this with no luck. I'm basically looking for a place to order about 50 blank CDRs with my bands name and contact information printed on them. My idea is that I can burn venue-appropriate material to each CDR depending on whether we're hitting...

    A/D/A Converters Comparable To My Alesis HD24XR???

    I use a Topaz 8 analog board to record onto an Alesis HD24XR. I like the sound I get, but realize that since I do most of my mixing on my PC, I could theoretically use some sort of A/D/A converter to record directly to my PC right? At the time I bought the Alesis, I seem to recall the general...

    Sub $2k 24/8 Mixer "Shoot Out" (Board on the Job)

    Has anybody ever assembled a list of 24/8 mixers in the sub 2k price range (new and used) that includes the pros and cons of each, or is that generally left to the individual researcher to do? I've been toying with the idea of a different mixer and thought I'd share my general findings thus...

    Where's the price/performance bump with mic preamps?

    In my search for studio monitors it seemed that there was a pretty significant difference between the monitors at the $1k price point and those below it. I started looking at the $500 8" monitors (KRK Rockits, Event TR8s, M-Audio MX-8s, etc). But to get to what sounded like what I expected, I...
