Hi, there seems to be fair bit of contention over whether the NS10's are actually any good for mixing. There doesn't seem to be a structured thread about them, though. Lots of folks seem to have used them (or still do), but on the flip side of that coin there are those who simply can not stand...

Hi folks, anyone recommend a decent multi-FX unit for cheap (under £200 would be ideal)? What I'm looking for is a floor FX unit for live use (and maybe recording if it sounds decent enough) - the features I need are very simple really: 1) decent overdrive (for blues type stuff) 2) a nice...

Hi folks, I've found in the Mastering Section of my DAW (Magix Music Studio Deluxe 12) that there is a 'Limiter', but there is just a 'dial' that applies it. There are no application values. Can someone advise me on how to use a Limiter please, as it seems the more I apply, the louder the...

Hi, can anyone direct me to a free download of the Har-Bal software please? Cheers.

Hi folks, I'm thinking of getting a pair of Studio Spares SN10 passive speakers for A/B reference monitoring against and just wondered if anyone has used them? What do you think to them, if so? Is there a bass port in the back? What's the sound like? They seem to be regarded as OK for...

Hi, i use to have the Tascam 244 (basically a 4 track analog multi-track) and I miss that little unit's simplicity and nice warm sound. I've gone over to digital now, but of late I have fancied getting another analog multi-track. Can anyone reccomend a decent set-up, for a cheap as possible...

Hi, I've just bought and 'run-in' a set of Mackie MR5 active studio reference monitors. Trouble is, I'm not happy with the sound. It could well be my (small'ish) room, but their sound is too bassy - a bit muddy, actually - and the mids aren't good either. I've tried putting baffles (various...

Hi, noob question here: if the only balanced input on my multitrack (Tascam DP02) is an XLR connection (i.e. doesn't have a 1/4" TRS balanced input), am I okay to connect the balanced signal from my POD (2.0) to the Tascam XLR? (I'm just trying to keep the signal balanced, but the Tascam...

Hi chaps, I've a project (album) coming to the final stages now and I'm thinking of doing some DIY mastering. Avoiding the debate on whether or not to 'go pro' or DIY, can I have your thoughts on what's best for mastering please? Hardware or software? if you coudl include make / model / price...

In light of an interferece issue I've been having recently, I wondered if anyone knew if it was possibel to have a balanced guitar signal (i.e. like an XLR > XLR balanced mic)? I run a Fender road-worn strat into a Line 6 POD 2.0 into my recording device (Tascam DP02). Any idea on how / if...

Hi, I have been trying to use the M-Audio fast track USB to record guitar on my PC. After downloading the latest drivers from M-Audio's website (for Vista 32 bit SP1) I tried doing a few recordings. The problem: I am hearing the audio from the PC fine, and I am hearing my guitar perfectly...

Hi folks, I've just bought a tascam DP02 which I've tried to use to record guitars / vocals etc then transfer onto PC to mix / master. The trouble is, when I arm the 'record' track, there is suddenly a buzz / hum present. I have tried numerous guitars (the worst sounding of them was an...
