    Loading old SX3 projects in 7.5...small issues, small questions.

    I've finally gotten all of the other issues worked out with my new system, now just trying to bridge the gap from SX3 to 7.5. I've got a ton of old projects saved over from SX3 and, when I open them up, it reverts the in/out settings to my old interface so I have to manually change them to the...

    +4dbu versus -10dbv

    Bear with me, I'm feeling like a novice all over again... I've got a saffire pro 40 outputting to JBL LSR305 monitors; both work and I can play sounds from any source on my comp. The "issue" I'm having is that the volume seems lower than before. Drastically lower. I've got saffire mix...

    If it's not one thing, it's another. Focusrite Saffire pro 40 interface, etc.

    Let me just preface this by saying that life was much easier with WinXP, Cubase SX3 and my old Tascam FW1084. I just "upgraded" my computer and it's a windows 7 setup now. (Quite frankly, I'm not even sure if it's 32 or 64 bit or both, this should be a pretty decent gauge on my knowledge of...

    USB docking station for internal hard drives? Anyone ever use one?

    My old XP system crapped out so I recently upgraded my recording PC. The new comp I got had a slim profile case and no spare bays for adding hard drives (it's also running Win 7). I have 80gb worth of project files, of which not even half are completely done, on an internal hard drive. So I...

    Anybody want to help with a pedal refurb project?

    I've got an (assuming) early-mid 80s DOD FX25 envelope filter that I bought off of ebay about 10 years ago. It worked then but it's starting to crap out a little bit. When the pedal is engaged the signal cuts out completely; disengaged it passes through as it normally would. If you hammer on...

    Anybody here ever use Hotone pedals?

    Just curious; I saw one of these in a shop the other day - don't remember which one it was, it was light blue and it was super small, like 1/2 the size of an MXR phase 90. It wasn't a bad price at all, only around $40 but I didn't want to go and check it out again if they're just total crap.

    Is a Fender Twin for $599 too good to be true?

    I guess I'm asking this a little bit too late since I just carried that heavy bastard upstairs but... I just stopped in to my neighborhood guitar shop earlier and they had a used Fender Twin in extremely good cosmetic condition with all paperwork, footswitch, etc included. It fired up and...

    BIOS/firewire card help needed...

    Here's the short version of the situation: recently upgraded almost my entire setup; got a pre-fab PC with windows 7 (my first mistake, should have taken the time to roll my own), and, before I even turned it on, upgraded the 4GB RAM to 16GB. No issues there, it's recognized, etc. Well, I...

    Tascam FW1804, m-audio Oxygen 49, etc...

    It's been a while, but I'm back and ready to get into the mix up here. I've recently updated some of my recording setup and I've got a few items to get rid of; if anyone is interested in anything let me know... Tascam FW-1804 firewire interface with install CD. All you need to get is a...

    FW-1084 firewire(?) issue

    Hello all, I'm having somewhat of a problem with the sync between my 1084 and my comp. I have a crappy e-machines with an AMD Athlon in it, just upgraded the RAM (4 gigs now). I've used this setup with no issues (other than my RAM crapping out) for almost 4 years now and, all of the sudden...

    looking into getting reaper...

    After looming over the Cockos website and hearing nothing but good things for the last two years, I think I have decided to change recording platforms... ;) I have been running Cubase SL3.XX (whatever the last update was) on my windows XP system for the past 3 years and loving it. Now not...

    FS: Ltd EC1000 guitar

    Hey guys, I'm putting my EC1000 deluxe up for sale. It's about a year old and it's the Amber Sunburst model with the Duncan pickups in it. I don't have a hardshell case for it because it stayed at the rehearsal room when I played it, for about a month. Other than that, it's stayed in the box...

    HELP!!! a few problems...

    This is really starting to piss me off now. I need some major help! I have an older (just over 2 years old) computer with all the necessary tools (windows XP, AMD athlon 64 processor, plenty of RAM, 2 hard drives, etc...) and my system has apparently grown some evil hatred of me. EVERY time I...

    Autocheck??? Weird problems during startup on my studio pc...

    I have had this computer for almost 3 years with no problems, it's an E-machines with an AMD processor that has been really good. Don't know all of the specs off-hand, but if you want me to (if it has any relevance) I can get off my lazy butt and go see what she's got under the hood. Anyway...

    channel strip plugins

    Where or how do YOU use them? Do you insert them before or after laying vocal tracks (for example). I guess I just don't understand what the point of a channel strip plug is. I mean, if you have good hardware pre's/compressors/eqs then it just doesn't seem like there is a need. Even if you...

    reflexion filter

    Does anyone use this in a completely untreated room when they do their vocals? If so, does it work well? (Kind of a vague question...sorry) I'm really struggling here at my apartment with recording vocals. At my old house, I had built some 3' x 6' x 4" thick absorber panels and they worked...

    Lyrically speaking, what does this say to you?

    I've been trying to write lyrics for this song that I've been done with (musically) for about the last 8 months... I'm still working out the kinks in the lyrics, kind of trying to fit the mood that I want portrayed. So, I ask you... What do these lyrics say to you? (Verse 1) So I guess I...

    reverse reverb (SL3.XX)

    I just read through a thread that started about 3 years ago in the Recording Techniques forum about using reverse reverb... It says something about reversing a .wav file, applying reverb and then reversing the track back to normal. Just curious is any Cubase users have tried this, and how it...

    Repairing cracked soundboard (Light? Muttley?)

    In a recent thread about old Epiphone acoustics, I posted something about my old '67-68 Epiphone Cortez (FT45N). It's got KILLER tone compared to any newer acoustics I've played, but the fretboard has a warp in it right around the joint were the neck meets the body. So, it's dead from about...
