Hi Currently use a presonus firestudio project as my main interface for recording. I'd like to upgrade to something with better pres. It doesn't necessarily have to have as many inputs, will suffice. Or should I just invest in an external mic preamp? I have used an external pre before with...

yo I'm looking to record a song that I play on electric guitar. I want to record the whole thing as one take as this particular track would not suit playing to a click. That and it would lose its 'feel' What would be the standard approach to do this? Should I use headphones and place the amp...

I really need to use IK's sampletron vsti on artist 64 bit. I can do this by using J bridge right. So far I haven't had any luck. I'm running Windows 10 pro. Could someone kindle post a foolproof step by step method here for doing so. The standalone version works fine within windows. I could...

I've recently just installed cubase artist 8.5 on my new PC, nothing special just a core 2 quad, 8gb ram, Windows 10. I'm using a presonus firestudio project as my main interface. Everything is pretty much running as good as I'd imagined it would. I.e low latency 3ms input and 4ms output...

all, When checking my latency within Cubase device manage there is always a difference between input and output latency (the output latency is always a couple of ms' more) does this matter? I read somewhere that when recording we only concern ourselves with 'input'. Is this the case? I can...

I've recently purchased cubase artist 8.5. I've been slowly working my way through the manual and have stumbled along some guidelines for tracking. The manual says to set input levels as close to - 0db without clipping. This is in strark contrast to many of the articles I've see on the Web...

go :0)

I have a humble home setup that consists of the following Presonus firestudio project Cubase 8 Rode nt1a Rode m3 SE Vocal booth I have £300-400 to invest. What would be then next thing on everybody's list given my budget. Better mic? Preamp? Tah

The following tracks are from a song I've recently recorded. I'd like to know if there is anything inherently wrong with how either of them (mainly the vocal recorded with nt1a) have been recorded. I haven't added any effects If not then how would one go about fattening them up etc.. Please...

How do I do this? Haha Sorry if it's blatantly obvious

I'm really in need of help getting this song finished. I am Having a hard time balancing things and compressing vocals. :confused: Notes on the song: It's a live take recorded all in one go without any overdubs. I used the sound from my digital piano for monitoring (from the speakers) this is...

Anyone up for it? It's kinda alternative folk/indie/ambient What file sharing site do people use to upload files. What's the typical way to do this? Just upload Wav stems? How do other users sync up wavs....? Sorry for my naivety, there is probably a real easy way to do this. Tah

From 3:37 and any other places where the piano is played alone I am hearing distortion /clipping of some kind. Please start the song from 40's in as I need to edit/sync the beginning to video. Nothing clips in my daw and there are no intersample peaks occurring at mastering stage. Note also...

1. Obviously when compression takes place the peaks of our tracks are reduced. However, when we compensate the gain reduction by boosting the output are we not essentially bringing back those peaks to the same level they were before, be it a more consistent level overall between softest and...

I'm mastering on my stereo bus within any given project, so 24 bit (not using to many plugins) should I put the dither plugin after my limiter and set this to 16 bit, as well as exporting to 16 bit? tah

Hi all. Basically I have a mix I'm happy with. When I start mastering however I can only get to a certain volume before my inter sample metre starts picking up peeks (playing them back through CD, mobile, mp4 player as distortion) These obviously happen on the louder parts of my mix. I.e a...

Hey, I'm looking to record some live video sessions of my band at various locations. I have two large diaphragm condensers to work with. However I'm uncertain whether it would be wise to use both (they are not matched) would if just be better to use the one mic strategically placed from song...

Hi. I'll soon be recording one of the girls in my band. It's a sea shanty type thing. I'm going to assume she will want to do the whole take live (she says she isn't sure yet) I have 3 mics Nt1a Rode m3 And a Samson c03 Not an ideal handful of mics really. What would be the best approach...

Hi. So I gave it another shot of recording myself singing and playing guitar, my preferred way of playing. I scrapped yesterday's session at this because I didn't like the initial results and was pushed for time. I was using an NT1a on the vocals with SE reflection filter, and a rode M3 on...
