    program organization

    I just got a new computer & the transfer of information was very laborious. The computer tech said it has to do w my not understanding how & where best to install & store music applications. I tried to keep everything in My Music which I understand now isn't correct. It has been confusing to...

    singer/congwriter continued

    I posted a while bk about recording a singer/guitarist "live" re bleed through... People basically said it shouldn't be a problem & to make 2 copies & e q each one differently. But I find I'm quite limited in what I can do - no delay on the voice bec it wdn't sound right on the guitar. And maybe...

    I recorded a singer/guitarist "live" & he wants "more bass" in his voice. All I know is to use e q & it doesn't sound that great to me + it boosts the guitar as well. I know to make 2 copies & e q one for voice & one for gtr but I can't seem to put bass in the voice that wasn't there to begin...

    Sorry if this is dumb, but: do you add compression at mixdown if you know it will also be added in mastering? Thanks

    OT - convert records to mp3

    Beyer Ribbon Mics

    Anyone know anything about Beyer dynamic M 500 N (C) ribbon mics? I've had them for over 30 yrs & that's all I've used. They sound very natural but don't know how they compare w today's ribbon or condenser mics. I just use them for vox/acoustic gtr at home. Thanks

    verb

    No matter what I do w verb & delay on the vocals, they never approach what I hear on top Cd's. is it their equipment that makes the difference? They sound so ethereal

    compression/limiting

    maybe this should be in the newbie list... When I add a compression or limiting preset to the final output (Ckwalk GTP 2), the meters go into the red & I have to turn it down. I don't get it & it's hard to hear the improvement. Shouldn't this prevent the meters fr going into the red zone?? Thanks.

    mic bleed thru

    I just moved into a new room that is very live. I'm recording someone singing & playing guitar at the same time & getting too much bleed thru w 2 mics. It sounds the same if I use 2 or just 1. Is there anything I can do to minimize this? Thanks.

    reverb when recording...

    Sorry if this is dumb but...why can't I hear reverb plug ins in the cans when recording - either as an insert or aux send (GTPro 2) ? It seems like I can only use it in playbk. I'd like to be able to use it & not an outboard unit - just for the singer to use during recording. Thanks.

    control surface...

    I'm interested in people's experience using a control surface (whatever they're called)...I'm pretty comfortable using just a mouse. I do both audio & midi recording. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    2 mics

    Hi I just moved to a new place & will be recording in a small, live room. I have 2 mics & will be recording a singer/songwriter - acoustic gtr + vocals "live". Any opinions on using the mics for close & ambient as opposed to one for gtr & one for vocals? I know I have to experiment, just trying...

    stereo/mono

    Hi - I realized that I've been recording everything into stereo tracks. What about vocals - even though they are mono - if I use an insert or bus (chorus for example, or a stereo delay) should they be recorded in stereo? Or do they come bk in stereo fr the aux bus? Also I create midi backing...

    impulse reverbs

    Hi - I'm new to Cubase - just starting w Cubasis. I wanted to use impulse reverbs (Sir) but realized they're wave files & the Cubasis vst wants fxp files. Am I missing something or does that mean I can't use them? Thanks
