I am running direct into my tascam us800 and using vst amp sims and impulses for my guitars. I have been told that it shouldn't clip when recording direct. Well, I have my gain all the way down on my interface, if I turn the gain up anymore then it clips in sonar. Should I just make sure it...

I have a buddy that told me that you can import midi drum tracks from power tab or guitar pro into your daw to be triggered by your ez drummer or whatever. Does anyone know how to do this, I would love to figure this out if anyone knows how to do this, that would be awesome.

I am using alot of vst amp sims, and impulses. I am getting pretty decent results, they sound really good, about as close to a mic'd cab as I can get without my half stack being here. When I put it into a mix though, they have some overly harsh highs, but if I roll back the highs in the amp...

Ok, so the other day I was sitting in my studio and came up with this question. I have Behringer B2031a studio monitors, these have 8 and 3/4 inch woofers in them. At different volumes things sound different. My question is, what do you guys suggest on volume levels when mixing? Things tend...

Well, I worked out some of the kinks that I was having. I am trying to improve my recordings still, but this is about the best results I have had so far. Anyone got any suggestions for me, please help me out. I have one bass track, quad tracked guitars, and ez drummer for my drum tracks.

Give me some advice, I have referenced it in a few differnt systems, and it don't sound terrible, but I feel it's got along way to go. Does anyone have any ideas on how to clean this up a bit, make it more polished? This is just a section of song, not a whole thing, just experimenting first...

So I have been getting into the whole sim amp tones, trying to come up with some sort of decent tone. I am into extreme metal, and I don't have my half stack around to record so I am looking at my alternatives. I have about all the free vst amp sims and a ton of impulses. Has anyone been able...

I have been experimenting with synth's in sonar. I was wondering what you guys think is the easiest way of going about that. I don't know much about this, I'm new to the whole virtual instruments, except for like ezdrummer. Step Sequencer is my best friend, but as far as I know you can't...

I am working on my bands demo, and I have hit a wall. I am extremely picky with my guitar tones, since I am a guitarist. I want the best sound I can get, I have alot of sims, like poulin, pod farm, tse x30 and such, with a ton of ir's. I also have a good tube head and 5150 cab, with a sm57...

I have been using digital amp modeling and getting great results, but I have been wanting to test out my collection of mic's. I have a tube head, and peavey 5150 cab that I am wanting to record. My question is, what should I do to get the best possible result. I understand placement, and...

I was looking into waves plug in bundles, then I seen something that said that they don't operate on 64 bit native yet. I was wondering what suggestions you guys may have for good software bundles?

I just discovered kt drum trigger, but I haven't been able to use it. My problem is that I can't get it to enable midi output. I am wanting to use it to trigger ez drummer. Here is what I am doing. I plug in the kt drum trigger soft synth into my kick drum track. I open it up, set it...

This is one of my first mixes with my new gear. I was using a crap laptop, and headphones for mixing. I finally coughed up some cash and purchased a beast of a desktop, new interface, monitors, better programs, new mic's, the works. Tell me what you guys think, levels? eq issues? you tell me?

So, I am doing some recording for this local band. I was doing drum tracks and I was just terribly disappointed in how the kick drum sounded. I always used ezdrummer, so I never had to mic a kit before. I got an EV 4 piece drum mic set, but I used a sm57 on the snare and an mxl 991 as an...

Ok, so I just bought a Tascam us800. I am using it to do drum tracking. Well, I have a few issues. It has gain knobs on the interface, and it has a digital mixer to it as well. Here is what I did, and here lies my problem. I basically adjusted my gain knobs on my interface, so that they...

So i just bought a new interface, a tascam us-800 usb interface. I wasn't even thinking about this when I bought it. On the interface, the outs are stereo rca outs. I only have balanced xlr, and unbalanced 1/4" on my monitors. How do I hook my monitors up to my new interface. What kind of...

So I just bought a tascam us 800 interface, anyone have any opinions on this interface. Sounds pretty good from what I see. 6 xlr's, midi, s/pdif, all for 165 bucks. Didn't sound like a bad deal, just wanna see if any of you have any experience with this interface.

I was wondering if either of these programs would work for my needs. I only have a two mic pre interface, don't have the money for a larger interface quite yet. I was wondering if I recorded drums with two overhead mics, if I could use either of the programs to replace the not so well mic'd...

Yeah, I have a half stack, but it is kind of hard to get it set up due to lack of space. So I am using Pod Farm. I am after a tone along the lines of a band called abacabb, it is heavy and sounds very digital in my opinion. Which I think would sound perfect for what I am doing. Here is an...

I am doing some mixes here lately for my educational death metal project. I know, sounds weird lol. Well, I am really getting into mixing and mastering now adays, I am still relatively new at it. I mix my tunes, and I am kinda disappointed in my mixes. I would love to get some feedback from...
