I *cough*mastered*cough* a song and put L2 at -0.3dbFS but looking at the mp3 file it's really really quiet? Any ideas of why this could be happening? the track gain is at 0db. I put the main fader at the bottom down a bunch so I could monitor at a lower level and this could be it, but then how...

is mp3 encoding supposed to totally cut off the highs above like 15k? I used to think it was the program i was using but i bought a new one and it does the same thing. i've analyzed some mp3's from commercial songs and they go up to 22k. Any ideas what this could be? Does the same thing in...

i use my spdif ins/outs on my external converters for monitoring and for most of my input needs. It defaults it to channels 1 and 2 on my firepod interface. is there anyway to make it so i don't have to go and manually change this every time i start up cubase? it's a minor gripe but it would be...

I have been trying for 45 mins to get a dang insert effect to work. I add the effect and when its not in "insert bypass" mode i can't hear anything.... :confused:. Seems like the easiest thing in the world but it's not working.

Believe it or not, I just PURCHASED(as in spent my own moolah) a student copy of SX3, and I'm wondering if theres anyway to get away from using the dongle, but before that I have some questions about the dongle. Is it something you plug in while you first start using cubase, or does it have to...

PLEASE CRITIQUE THIS CHILDISH SONG/MIX "Friendship Beard" by The Awesome Miami http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=1264 It sounds like babies playing in a crib! Suggestions mixwise? Derogatory comments songwise :p ?

Any tips on getting snare or kick to "pop out" less on the meters or in the mixdown waveform? using a compressor with zero attack a/o limiter sounds like ass(at least when I do it). any tips on doing this in a way that sounds good or is more transparent? Apparently Tom Lord Alge compresses kick...

how do you guys pan your drums in the mix? While I know people are going to say "whatever sounds best to you" but I'm just wondering what some typical or cliched panning schemes are. Usually I do something like this: overheads - 40-75 L/R snare - 5 right floor tom - 40-75 L head tom/s - 10 R/L...

What is it that is keeping ITB summing from being as good as OTB? Will higher bit depths help? Higher sample rates? When everything goes 64-bit will audio be 64-bit too and will this help? I bet 64-bit audio would sound awesome.

I need.....well, I "want" another LDC to supplement my soundelux u195 but I don't want something that sounds similar. I've thought about getting an AT4047 but for some reason I'm thinking it has a similar quality to the u195. I also am looking at the AT 4033. Does anyone with experience with all...

does cool edit have this for plugins?

can you automate the level of individual effects in an insert channel in cubase? i.e. more delay on a certain part of a file while the level of the rest of the tracks remains constant? can you change the paramaters of an effect halfway through a track? i.e. changing the compression ratio on a...

Is adding 2 different reverbs to something generally a bad idea? I use reverb in conjunction with delay sometimes, is that a bad idea? When doing is it typical for the delay to come before the reverb or the other way around in the effects chain? "yogurty delay"- is this achieved by high and...

It's a little repetitive but I blame it on the myspace compression. What do you guys think? :o :o :cool: www.myspace.com/telefission

My UAD-1 card won't mixdown correctly for some reason but it works when i playback the mix in realtime. I assume it's because the mixdown is always accellerated using as much processing power as your computer has at the time or whatever. Anyway to mixdown in realtime?

i just bought a new A/D/A the RME adi-2 and when i connect it to my presonus firepod i can record stuff and i can hear stuff played back but I cannot hear what's being recorded at the same time as playback. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong or settings changes?

This is kinda stupid but I remember hearing something about using different cable.....RCA cables or something for connect spdif? I need to know because I got my new AD/DA today but it didn't come with any cables and I think I might have some RCA's laying around.
