    Master fader

    Hey guys, How do you get a master fader in the project window? Basically just a buss but duplicate of the 2buss so you don't have to open the mixer (I never touch the thing!) It's happened to me twice now on accident, but no clue how to get it back. And also is having one group track that...

    Print or Export?

    Hey guys, I hear some people using the word "print" in talking about getting their song into one Wav file, But i've always been using "export audio mixdown". Is there a "print" function in Cuabse or just export? And if there is a print function, how is it any different? Thanks!

    Can I tell you a story?

    I wasn't sure which heading to post this in, so this one will have to be good enough. I was hoping to just share an experience I had yesterday with people who are obviously interested in similar things as myself, because I think it was one of the coolest things that has happened to me in my...

    Trying to make the best of the space I have

    Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get a bit advice on acoustic treatment for my room which is less than ideal, but it's what i have and it has to work for now. So, I'm mixing in my bedroom. I have my monitors set up on the long wall (because that's the only wall that doesn't have a bedroom on the...

    Question about delay

    When you have a part (lead guitar in my case) with a bit of delay on it, and the part ends right where there is a break in the music, how would you go about "shutting off" the delay so that it doesn't decay into that little break? In my case, the break in the song should be silent and i love...

    Snare in overheads

    Hey everyone, I have a bit of an issue and I'm not sure how to deal with it. I have some tracks that I didn't actually record, so i'm just mixing them. In the overheads, you can clearly hear that the snare was picked up by the right OH more than the left. So in my entire mix, the snare seems to...

    Less than perfect room for drums

    A while back I recorded some drum tracks in my living room. I think they sound good with the mixing that i've done with the tracks, but they lack a little something. For instance, when i listen to professional mixes, i can really hear the room in them, and it's perfect of course. Their rooms...

    What are your thoughts on this mix?

    Here's an instrumental mix of a song I've been working on for some friends of mine. It's my first run at any type of real recording as far as micing the drums and all that, so i'm trying to see where my progress is and what could be better with the mix. There are 5 more songs that are in the...

    How is this done?!

    At the beginning of this track, there is a mix technique that i would really like to learn how to do myself. I hear it often in metal and pop punk style tracks. Basically, it sounds to me like all the instruments are lacking all low end frequencies, and maybe there is a bunch of verb on it to...

    Can't import .wav with waveforms

    Hello, Basically, I recorded some guitars DI and used some amp sims on them. Then i set my locators, solo'd the track, and exported it as a mono .wav. Then, i went to import, found the file and imported it. The file plays as it should and sounds great (keeping the amp sim sound, but not having...

    2 Different interfaces are out of sync?

    Hey guys, I wanted to be able to record 6 mics for a drum kit, so i used 2 interfaces in order to get the right number of preamps. So, i ended up using my Alesis io2 Express, and an M-Audio Fast Track to get the job done (Both USB devices). Cubase recognized both interfaces, and i could record...

    Proper gain levels for drum tracking?

    hey guys, I was just curious if there are proper levels at which to set gain knobs for drum tracking? Or should I just set them so that the mics pick up the set with a decent level and then tweak the levels more while mixing? Will having too much gain make them sound harsh? Any thoughts?

    Q's about modern metal vocals

    For those of you who mix modern metal; things similar to As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour, August Burns Red, etc. that have screaming vocals rather than singing, I have some questions that I hope can be answered. it seems like that style of music isn't widely accepted (although it's super popular...
