Is It Possible To Hook Up A Better Converter To The Firepod? What If I Just Got One With 2 Channels Since I Won't Be Using More Than 2 Except For Drums? Is It Possible To Only Make 2 Of The 8 Channels Have Good A/d/a? How Would I Do This? How Much Is It For An Awesome 2 Channel A/d/a?

How Do I Get The "punch-in" Effect From Compressing The Aux Sends? I Want The Effect That Makes It Sound Punchy And Full With Increased Dynamic Range? The Punch-in Making It Bigger Between Loudest Parts And Smallest Parts In Order To Make It Louder Than My Cds? Can Someone Explain To Me How...

HOW DO I GET THE "PUNCH-IN" EFFECT FROM COMPRESSING THE AUX SENDS? I WANT THE EFFECT THAT MAKES IT SOUND PUNCHY AND FULL WITH INCREASED DYNAMIC RANGE? THE PUNCH-IN MAKING IT BIGGER BETWEEN LOUDEST PARTS AND SMALLEST PARTS IN ORDER TO MAKE IT LOUDER THAN MY CDS? :confused: CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN...

It seems like Audition is sort of frowned upon by a lot of people that own other DAWs. Is there a reason I should go out and buy Cubase SX3 or whatever other people like? What exactly are the drawbacks of Audition other than midi, and vst synth support? I like Audition but I'm not really sure...

Do you guys pan reverb to a different position than the dry signal??? I was reading about this in The Mix Engineers Handbook and I tried it and I can't get it to sound good. I basically get the reverb/delay setting i like on a track and then turn the mix to 100% and print a copy of that and put...

I'm selling it to save up for an 1100 dollar soundelux u195. Awesome condition. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41466&item=7319241208&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW :)

I want a VA that sounds like the sounds I get out of fruity loops 3.4. I have an Alesis Ion and a Juno 106. The Ion is too dull and the 106 is too natural sounding. I want something that sounds like fruity loops to complement these synths. I hate midi/softsynths. I like real keyboards because I...

I have no idea how I would use outboard gear(compression, EQ) after I've tracked through my audio interface and into digital. I kind of want to get some outboard gear(better sounding stuff than plug-ins), but I'm deathly afraid of adding effects while tracking and then having an irreversible...

I'm currently using TRS cables (cheap hosa ones from GC) to go from my firepod to my monitors.....is this correct or do I need to go to guitar center today and buy some different cables?

oh crap i crapped!

I don't have any keyboards with real pianos so i had to settle with this cheese(which is actually pretty decent considering it's made from a subtractive synth and not sampled). The song is on the short side because it was made for a friend who wanted a 2 minute song for an internet video he is...

In the documentary Some Kind Of Monster what kind of mic was Hetfield using? Was it an Shure SM7? His vocals sound amazing just like the rest of the album.

I've been listening to this new station that plays 70's and 80's stuff and I hear all these sweet effects/mixing techniques etc and I have no idea how they get some of these sounds. I'm thinking stuff like Steve Miller, the vocals from the chorus of Kansas' "Carry on a wayward son", the weird...

I've read some stuff about doubling drum parts and compressing one part at "squash" settings to make them more punchy/full (http://www.digidesign.com/digizine/archive/digizine_september03/groundwork/) And people talk about recording bass by mic-amp + going direct at the same time...... how do...

I want something that will make guitars and vocals sound punchy and powerful. As well as snare. I've pretty much decided on an API or a clone- OSA(Old School Audio) or Brent Averill. What do you guys think of each the clones vs. the real things? What is the real difference between the 312's...

Uh oh! It's me again running wild in the mp3 forum! This time I got bored and attempted making a sort of classic rock-esque song. I am trying to practice and get as much feedback with mixing as possible before I record my friends band in a few weeks. I am not a guitar player so the guitar track...

I usually have tracks that go above 0 when i'm mixing, but i use the "master" fader by pressing Alt+2 to bring the total mix down so it doesn't clip. Does this bring down the dynamic range? Would this affect the sound of my mix considerably? I know that going above 0 will cause some distortion...

I don't really know what to buy next, here's my setup.... Presonus Firepod DMP3 AT4047 Studio Projects C1 MD-421 Studio Projects C4 matched pair SM57 Sennheiser E604 tom mic Wharfedale Diamond Pro 8.2 monitors I don't really know what to get next...I need some more tom mics but that's not a...

I wrote a song called "The Night Life". http://home.comcast.net/~briefcaseman/thenightlifeOPT.mp3 Do you think it sounds cool?

I just got new monitors and I decided to remix this little song idea clip i came up with a few weeks ago for practice. Any advice on it would be great, as I'm inexperienced at mixing(read: i dont have any clue what i'm doing whatsoever!), and it's hard for me to hear a lot of things or know how...
