    DVD RW for back up

    Hi - I'm going through too many C D's backing up my songs. My computer DVD can record although I've never tried it. I went on line to look for recordable DVD's & see there is quite a bit to choose from - different sizes etc. Any recommendations? Thanks.

    export/import files

    I can't understand this one: I export the vocal track from cakewalk GT 2 for processing in another application. When I import it back (or even if I don't send it to the other application) the amplitude is much lower. I disable the aux sends & set the master out to 0db. I'm not sure if that is...

    import/export files

    I'm using an old sequencer - GT Pro 2...it's just the fastest work flow for me. I want to export the vocal for processing in another application but it comes back much quieter. Do I have to level all my settings to get it to come back at the original level it was sent? How do others handle...

    import/export files

    I'm working in an old Cakewalk sequencer (GT Pro 2) as it's just the most comfortable work flow for me. I'm exporting the vocal as a wav file & it comes back lower in volume when I reimport. I thought it was the application I sent it to for processing but it happens even if I export/import...

    Is there such a thing? Sort of a control surface foot pedal but all I need is the transport control to free up my hands. Thanks.

    drivers

    I'm still working with an old Edirol AU 5 audio interface. It sounds OK to me but won't run an ASIO driver, even though it says it can. Am I missing anything still running an MME driver? Latency seems OK. I'd rather spend my money on something else. Thanks.

    hypercardoid mics

    I'm recording vocals with a hypercardoid mic & am not sure what the best positioning is - straight on? I can see the pattern diagram on paper but it looks like the bottom part of the mic screen gets rejected & I should sing into the top half? Thanks.

    I'm getting more into "soundtrack" type music... any ideas on creative ways to mix short clips of different musical segments, such as pieces of different songs into a sort of "collage"? Thanks

    change your voice

    Any ideas on how to "change my voice" for special effects? I had to record an announcement as if coming from a p.a. speaker & I cupped my hands around my mouth as if I was calling to someone & it worked. Others? Thanks.

    vocal tracks - 1 or 2? (or 3??)

    I have been making a copy of my vocal track & mixing the dry track with the processed one that goes to the aux. Sometimes I've even had a 3rd track with different processing. I'm starting to think this is unnecessary. Do other people use more than one track usually? Thanks.

    hall, room, plate

    Is there any consensus on when to use each of these reverbs for best results? And if there are any effects such as delay, that sound better with one than with another? Thanks.

    Pink Floyd vocals

    I'm just listening to The Wall/Young Lust. The vocal decay just "hangs" for a moment - sounds great. Anyone know what they are doing? Just high-end processors? Thanks.

    burning CD's = wav

    Sory if this is dumb...I haven't burned CD's very much: Can I burn my recording onto CD and also add a wav file that cd be converted to MP3 at some later time? My guess is no, one the project is closed. Thanks.

    Mixing For Radio Broadcast

    I'm doing a piece with dialog, sound effects & music for radio. Do I mix it the same as any other work I do & the radio station adds their compression (or whatever they do)? Or do I have to do something different? Thanks!

    places to post songs

    Can anyone recommend a free site to post music that gets more traffic than Soundclick, which I'm using now? MySpace limits you to only 4 songs I think. Thanks.

    wet/dry verb

    Hi - I just started using SIR Impulse reverbs...not sure of the best place for wet/dry balance. I run the vocal pre fader with the aux send up full & adjust the wet/dry balance at the aux return. However the Sir interface has seperate controls for wet & dry. The default is full dry & wet most...
