With the help of my friends here at HR, I've essentially started over on my home studio's sound setup. I took down all the cheapy (foam by mail) panels and built bass traps. In my 10'x14' room I have 34 sqft of 4" inch traps, and 20 sqft of 2" deep traps. All with made with 703 insulation...

I've been recently very impressed with the Audix I5 so it got me thinking about Audix as I begin to explore tom mics. Currently, the few times I've tracked drums I've been fairly pleased with the sound of just my overheads when it comes to toms. But recently I got the tracks from one of the...

I'm in the middle of a studio overhaul. Building bass traps, a touch of foam, etc. Anyway, I have a 3'x6' window about 18" behind my monitors. Currently there's no window treatment on it, (which is sort of nice when I'm mixing since I can look out at my backyard) but I realize I could...

So I've turned to some trusted HR'ers but am looking for some more input. My mixes seem to be translating fairly bass heavy when tested on other systems (stereo, car, wife's office cd player, etc.) To confirm that I'm not getting enough bass in my studio and thus over-compensating in my mixes...

From reading info on 8x4 snakes/drop boxes, I'm realizing that they're just all prone to something going wrong. I don't mind spending a little extra to get a better one, but it seems that eventually I'll be doing some soldering. So which of the availabe 8x4 (XLR/TRS) 50 footers are easiest to...

I recorded some tracks the other night on my HD24XR at 96k. I then imported them into Cakewalk HS-XL and did my mixes there. When I exported the finished mixes, they came out as 44.1k/24bit. It's been a while since I've done anything at 96, but I would have thought my finished mixes would...

Lately, I've been working with a 96/24 project in Cakewalk and I'm getting a problem where the CPU meter at the bottom right will light all the way up (green, yellow and red) and a little CPU WARNING message is there too. Once that happens, the only way to restore audio play is by restarting my...

I recently added a DAW setup to my studio. My setup previously consisted of an HD24XR and a Soundtracs Topaz board. I now find myself with the OUTS from the board and the OUTS from my PC based DAW and only one set of inputs for my monitors. I've considered the following: 1) Run both sets of...

I'm trying to trouble shoot an issue with my new PC and I'm wondering to see if there is a way to see if MIDI data is actually being sent through my MiaMIDI??? I know it's being sent from my Cakewalk because the MIDI activity light is flickering, and I've followed the isntructions of my MIDI...

Hey All, Just got a new PC with an Echo MIAMIDI soundcard. I'm running CW Home Studio V2 XL and am trying to hook up a Yamaha S03 keyboard. I'd like to be able to write midi parts in CW and then have them play on the Yamaha. Not sure if I can have the audio output from the Keyboard go back to...

I realize this might be sort of silly, but I also realize that somebody out there may have an idea that could change the way I approach mic selection. :rolleyes: So I'd love to hear thoughts on how you all would use this mic collection in recording, in the context of recording bands (drum...

I've been researching a new DAW for my studio set up, which is: 1) I record through a Soundtracs Topaz 24 and/or a DMP3 pre to a HD24. 2) I use Cakewalk Home Studio 2XL to do some editing of the wavs and do final mixes on the Topaz using various outboard compressors and effects. I usually just...

I've been using an LXP-1 and LXP-5 in compbination for about 6 years. I recently got an MRC and have been fairly happy with the control it's given me over the two devices. But when I was at the local Sam Ash to buy a midi cable to hook the MRC up, I got to talking with the guy in Pro Audio...

I'm having a devil of a time importing 24/96 wavs from my HD24XR into my Cakewalk. When I look at the Summary tab in the wavs properties, they all show up as 24/96, but the Bit Rate is way high at 6144kbps. If I convert them to 24/48 in R8Brain, then back to 24/96, the Bit Rate drops to...

I think I've done this in the past, but now CW is not letting me change the rate and bit depth under the audio options. Was I dreaming or did I do it? Everytime I try to change it to 96/24 it says that the default audio format is not compatible with my sound card. How can I import 96/24 wavs...

I'm trying to put together a project with wav files recorded on two different systems: a ProTools system that generated .wavs that were 96/24 and .wavs from my HD24XR, also at 96/24. I can import the wavs from the protools session no problem, but for some reason the wavs from my HD24 won't...

I just recorded some bass parts for a project that was original tracked at 96/24. I setup the project as a 12-track 96kHz and imported the wavs to the HD24XR. I recorded the bass parts and went to export them back to my PC and found they were 96kHz but at 16-bit. Any idea what I did wrong...

I've got a couple pieces of gear from way beck when, when I had little money and less sense. (one of those things is now different :) ) I'm trying to decide what to sell and if either is worth keeping. I have a PreSonus Blue Max Smart Comp and a Behringer Composer just sitting in my racks...

The Overview: I just got my band's external hard drive back from the studio where we tracked some guitar stuff over the weekend. I was able to access it before giving it to them, and now it shows up as "Not Initialized" on the Computer Management screen. Though it is showing that it is a 186Gb...

Hi all, a while back I sold my Mackie 1604VLZ mixer that I'd used for years with my Tascam 38 8 track. I needed the cash to buy a 24x8 board and an HD24. Anyway, I'm up and running with the new system but find myself missing the simplicity (not to mention the sound) of the old 8-track...
