    New question about +4

    I had posted a thread asking if my gear was +4 or -10. Ok, it is +4 but another question. If i go from my pre/amp, to my compressor(which is set for +4) out to my mackie, set the trim so the meter reads 0, and the set the fader to unity gain, should the meters in cakewalk read zero too. It...

    Reverb and FX unit??

    I am looking to expand a little and get and get an rack reverb unit. I have no clue what is good. Do they usually come with things like chorus delay and flanger, or are they seperate, or is it all a money issue. I just need some suggestions to get me started where to look. Money is an issue...

    +4 or -10?

    I have always been a little confused with the whole +4 -10 thing. If I go into my Art dual MP, use the XLR out into my presonus ACP-22 Compressor, XLR out to my Mackie, then direct out (using a balanced 1/4" TRS) to my Delta 1010, would I be running +4 or -10. Stupid question but which one is...

    I am curious to see how people's drum tracks sound isolated and dry. So if people could post dry samples and then samples after they have applied their reverb and whatever else they do. Thanks........Josh

    Big question here!?!?

    I wasn't sure where to post this question so you may see it in other places too. But what does everyone think about schooling for sound engineering. Im looking at Berklee and SAE, I heard not so great things on Full Sail, but Im just trying to get other opinions and not waste money. I know...

    Written audio missing.........

    Sometimes on PA 9.03, the written audio in the track view will disappear for a few of my tracks. The tracks still play but it just looks like nothing is there. This happened to me awhile ago and I had reinstalled Cakewalk after formatting my hard drive and it just started to do it again. I...

    Use automation in Pro Audio

    I record through a Delta 1010 into Pro Audio 9.03. When i mix down should I repatch everything back into my Mackie and mix that way, or should I use the Automation in Cakewalk. I am assumming that repatching and rerecording it would add noise to the tracks, but the automation in Cakewalk can...

    What should i get for S/PDIF...ART?

    I want to be able to use the S/PDIF in my Delta 1010, the ART DI/O mic pre has the converter in it, but I've been hearing a lot of different stuff about ART. It's only $160 so that is appealing but i don't want to buy crap. Any help would be awesome.......Josh

    Recording through a long snake?

    I want to get a long snake (50'-100') so i can record other people in their dorm rooms or practice rooms while leaving my gear in mine. Will the signals suffer a lot from this? They'll be going into a mackie vlz pro. If so, are there any suggestions beside buying a bunch of mic pres...

    Acoustics in a basement

    My studio is in my unfinished basement and needless to say the acoustics are terrible. My drums are set up on a 2" high carpeted platform, next to one cement wall(which can't be good), and open on all other sides. The ceiling, well doesn't exist. It's just insolation and beams. So....what...

    Compressors--is mine good, what else do I need?

    Hey, I purchased a Presonus ACP-22(dual channel compressor) for $150, which is half of what it usually goes for, and it does seem to do everything that a compressor is supposed to but I just wanted to hear some feedback on it. I guess you could say that I really don't have a super developed...
