Hi - I've never quite understood verb settings for the best sound. I'm running impulse reverbs in Sonar. I send from the vox track to a bus. I keep the send level at 0, the IR fully wet & the dry setting 0. I've always heard to use it fully wet but it's way too much, even with the bus volume...

hi - I'm not new but don't know where to post this. I recorded a presentation on my android tablet - the app records in MP3 format but when i uploaded it to google drive on my home computer, it's some other unidentified format. My audio editors don't recognize it. Windows media player will play...

Hi - I'm doing some work again for a friend, uploading old cassette recordings of a band to digital. I'm not getting very far improving the sound since the balance & quality (which is variable) are all locked in. He wants more verb & more top & bottom but everything I do of course affects all...

don't laugh (or maybe there really is a way to do this???) I'm cleaning up some old CD's for a friend & one has way too much verb - is there anything I can do? Thanks.

hi - can anyone recommend some good quality in-earphones for Android tablets? Thanks.

Hi guys - A friend wants to convert songs on her CD's to MP3's. She's not involved in recording otherwise i don't think. What would be the simplest (& hopefully free) way to do this? It seems like she would just record from the CD player into a basic DAW & export as MP3 - is that correct? If so...

Hi, long question... I'm not new but certainly there are gaps in my understanding. I use Sonar on a laptop with 1 terabyte hard drive. I use the same computer for all of the rest of my needs, ie all of my files are installed in the same HD. It works fine so far but Sonar is getting slower. And...

Hi guys - I just need something very small to dictate notes...sound quality not that important. I've been using a sansa clip mp3 player & it's great - about the size of a matchbook - but they only hold up about 2 years. Any ideas? thanks.

Hi guys - I have lots of old projects in GT Pro that i import to finish in Sonar. I still do some work on them first in GT Pro , bec the workflow is so much faster. I tried to open Guitar Tracks Pro & it suddenly no longer works - no sound, no mix panel, & it crashes before i can check audio...

Hi - I'm not new but this is a basic question: I just want to connect a drum machine to my interface with midi cables, to free up an analog input. I don't plan to edit any of the midi functions. I've always just used the RCA cables. Are the midi cables enough to transmit the sound the same as...

Hi guys - I'm a rank beginner to Ableton...just looking at the possibilities. I use Sonar. I'm starting the lessons they include but it's slow! I seem to do better with books - any you can recommend? I'm mainly interested in using it as a sequencer/arrangement view as opposed to live use. Thanks!!

Hi - I have old Beyer Dynamic ribbon mics & they used to work fine plugged into a guitar amp through a (low to high Z?) transformer. But I don't get any boost in level using the transformer plugged into my interface or analog mixer. Why doesn't that work? thanks.

Hi - I'm not a newbie but don't understand audio interface drivers. I have an Edirol UA-5 - 12 yrs old. It works fine with WDM on Win 7 & I'm a little intimidated about change. I have not been able to use ASIO 4 ALL with it. Can I just get a new interface without any problems playing all my old...

Hi - I'm getting tired of the low output of my ribbon mics & I just don't have preamps that are powerful enough. Music will cover the increased noise floor pretty much but I'm doing audio books now & need it quiet. Does it matter whether I get a condenser or dynamic mic for this? Any...

Hi - i recorded an eBook into audio but it wasn't accepted bec I didn't use room tone between edits. Can someone tell me or send a link on how to do this? If I record silence with the mic live, I think I would need it to be a different link for each time I paste it into an edit? Thank you!

Hi - a little different from the other headphone post: I've used Sennheiser cans for years but find the ear pads wear out in about 2 years & become uncomfortable. It gets expensive to keep replacing them at $23-30/set. Is this the case with all headphone brands in the range of about $250-300...

Hi guys - I'm recording a spoken poem with background sound effects. There are several places where I read a fortune cookie & I want to set that apart from the rest of the spoken lines. I have in mind some kind of fx processing but not sure yet. Any ideas on giving it an "exotic" treatment w o...

I've been recording direct for years in my project studio but never found it comfortable & don't play my best. Hard to pay attention to playing & recording both at the same time. I do loop recording mostly. Any tips for making the process easier? Thanks.

Hi - i need a free lame mP3 converter for a friend. Hard for me to tell at Download.com which are reputable. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi - Is there any agreement on the optimum for CD quality? I can't really hear the difference bet 128 & 256. Thanks.
