    vocal monitor mix

    more on vocals... I just monitor myself dry in the hdphones when I'm singing so I don't rely on verb or anything else & hopefully listen more carefully. At the same time the sound I'm hearing isn't that great - too "close miced/up front", maybe bec I am close Maced & up front - about 6-12...

    normalize?

    Hi - I posted & started a thread quite a while bk on whether you should normalize. the concsnsus, as I remember, was don't ever normalize - bec it raises the noise floor or bec it's a render(?).

    refrigerator blues

    Hi guys - the apartment I'm now in has a noisy refrigerator. I will try carpet samples to dampen the noise but it is what I wd call motor noise as opposed to vibration or parts wearing out. One aspect of it is a Bb note - not sure if that's 60 cycle hum? Radio Shack said to get a line...

    windows media player

    Not sure where to post this, but it relates to me being able to play files I create: suddenly I get no sound in Windows Media Player. I can play files in Real Player, so the files are OK. I upgraded to the latest WMP version, the file played, next time I tried it - no sound again. Any ideas? Thanks.

    importing midi track

    When I import a midi track I created in Jammer to C.walk GT Pro, it doesn't quite line up w the first measure & leaves a small gap. I can edit it out & slide the track to the beginning but it takes an extra step ea time. the Jammer people didn't think it was caused on their end. Any ideas? Thanks

    bit depth, sampling rate

    Hi - If I have songs recorded at 16/44 & increase to 24/44 will that adversely affect the songs I've already done (in Cakewalk GTPro)? Is there more audible improvement fr increasing bit depth or sampling? And finally, I have the Edirol UA 5 s. card which says it supports up to 96K sampling...
