My cubase master fader is telling me things are clipping after limiting, but Voxengo Span is telling me that it's peaking at -.03 like I've set in my limiter. Which do i believe? Is cubase crazy?

Hey guys, I know this is a dumb question, but once I finish all my tracks, I should have them at 16 Bit/44.1 right? And those will play fine on a standard CD player?

Hello again friends, This is probably a bunch to ask, but I was hoping I could get some listens of a 6 song EP I just got finished with. These are the first "finals". I say "finals" because I just sent them to the band asking for a critique, and I hope others here will have another...

Last night, I was working on a track and found something a bit odd. The track has some gang vocals in a sparse outro that were over powering the lead vox at points, so I set a side-chain comp to duck them a bit for the lead. That was all fine, and I was using the standard Cubase compressor...

Hey guys, Sometimes I feel like things are working well right until I bring the vocals into a mix, and then I tend to lose my snare a bit in all the madness. Do you have any thoughts on how to keep those elements clear without losing too much of one or the other? I do mostly rock mixes. I've...

Hey friends, I was just watching these videos with Chris Lord-Alge about his CLA plugs, and I notice that with all of the compressors, and on all the instruments, he's driving them pretty hard! I've heard many times that in the analogue world, pushing things into the red a bit adds the nice...

Hey there, Here's track 3 of 6 for my friends' EP. All tracked and mixed by me. It had a few difficult sections for me, so just looking for what other people think is good or bad. Thanks in advance! Two By Two (02) by bornofsound on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for...

Hey guys, Any thoughts on this mix? Things you'd change or things that don't sound so hot? Good things, bad things, I'd love to hear em all! It can be downloaded from soudcloud so you can hear it without streaming.. Thanks!! Wolves (02) by bornofsound on SoundCloud - Create, record and...

Hey friends, This is someone else's song that I was did while working on edits for another project. Some things I'm wondering about specifically.. Is the snare too low? The drums were triggered so these are all samples. The snare was way too bright and EQing some low end wasn't working so I...

This is a silly post just because I'm excited. I started tracking my friends' band's 6 song EP just a bit over two months ago, taking 9 full Saturday/Sunday sessions, and we finally finished up last night. It's been one hell of a journey so far, with countless hours spent after tracking doing...

Hey all, Often times studio albums have tracks that end, and another begins without the listener noticing that it's a different tune. I notice it most with drums.. The drummer will play something at the end of one song that melds perfectly with the intro of the next song. In terms of...

Hey guys, I'm trying to use a double vocal in a couple songs, but I feel like both need a bit of tuning help. I plan to use Variaudio in Cubase 5, which is similar to Melodyne so I'd be working with individual notes rather than a set and forget plugin. How do you guys deal with this? I feel...

Hey all, This is Lucky Day's evil twin :cursing: Recorded at the same time/place but much heavier. The ending is pretty abrupt because I haven't quite decided what to do with it yet. The swells go on for some time after what is here. Just looking for a little feedback. Sorry if it hurts...

Hey everyone, I might be putting my gear in storage for a bit while I do some traveling and I was hoping to get some type of padded metal crate like what musicians use on the road to keep it all safe. The trouble is I really don't know what they're called specifically, and also, where to buy...

Hey guys, Mix feedback on this would be wonderful! I've been bustin my butt on this one, need some new ears. Lucky Day (New_01) by bornofsound on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free Thanks!!

When you're tracking something like guitars, and you have to do lots of punch in/outs to get it right, but the player keeps missing say the 5th note, and then says "ah f*ck! Go again!" so you delete that short take and start once more.. Well, all those little nonsense takes actually write to...

Hey friends, I've read a fair amount about people's opinions on the quality of a wav file compared to converting it to an mp3. For the life of me, I can't hear a difference in my own work after they've been converted. I really wish I had one of my favorite songs in wav format so I can A/B...

Hey guys, I use a pair of M-Audio AV40s as my main monitors. They have 2 types of connections; 2 balanced outs, or a pair of RCA outs. Since i've had them, I've always used a simple RCA -> 1/8" jack from the monitors to my interface's headphone out. This cord is on the fritz and i keep having...

Hey everyone, The other day I tried to use my buddy's fast track ultra to track guitars into Cubase 5. I have the drivers and cubase picked up the interface no problem; ins and outs were all working. As we were trying to get a good tone, all of the snippet recordings we did were popping on the...

I posted about how me and my friends got to track this song and one other in a studio about a month and a half ago. This is what I've got for it right now. All the pieces were done in the studio except the vocals which are just a scratch track for now to lay down his ideas. There aren't even...
