I was scrubbing and deleting some recorder and room noise from my new hit single, "Bulgarian Bumblebees," and now it's too quiet! The problem is that the last sound on the song is a slowly strummed E major on my HD-35, which has great resonance. I let it ring all the way to total decay before...

This may not merit a separate thread, but I got reason to start it: Cominginsecond mentioned the presonus blue tube as "to avoid at all costs" just as musician's friend was putting mine in a box! It'll be here Tuesday. You got me so scared I'm afraid to accept delivery! I have never used one...

Well, I did it. After hemming and hawing for 3 weeks re: improving the signal chain, I took Mus. Friend up on the MXL 2 mike (1 LD, 1 SD) package for $155.99 and ordered a presonus stereo preamp (want 2 mikes on guitar) for $149.99. I assume all this will sound better than my single sm57 going...

I've visisted many sites that have links to the artist's mp3's. I only have 10 megs of space on my personal web page, but could squeeze 2 or 3 mp3's and would like to. The instructions aren't very clear on how you do this. so . . . how do you do this? If you can upload a photo of your dog, why...

There's a nice guy at Fostex named Matt that many of you know. He just sent me a step-by-step instruction on making CD's that I find clearer than the manual. I have cured my own CD making problems, but if anyone wants Matt's instructions, send me an e-mail at robjh22@hotmail.com, or post your...

Been a busy 24 hours. Got promoted to junio from Newbie, actually got my stupid Fostex to create a Cd (of 1, 6-track song) after 3 weeks of fighting it, found a free wav - mp3 software site, downloaded same, and ripped the cd to mp3 format. It don't work. Oh, it ripped it alright, but the...

I'm a newbie, but not extreme, so thought I'd dare to ask: why would my acoustic guitar tracks drop in volume when the other (voice) tracks kick into the mix? Possible hint: I f'ed around with compression levels w/o knowing what I was doing. Second question: why would a burned CD pick up one...

Please see my "don't leave, Garry" thread, in which you are acknowledged as a possible source for info on my cd burning frustrations on the vf80. Please wax forth as abundantly as you have time for. Note 3 problems: 1) picking up only 1 of 6 tracks on the CD; 2) guitar levels dropping...

Garry, thank heavens you're around today. Okay, I've made GIANT progress in the last 3 days. Finished my 6 track program "Bulgarian Bumblebees." Works perfectly on the VF80, reverb, pan, eq, everything's right. (Noisy as hell, but right.) Internally mastered down to tracks 1 & 2. Then I went to...

I hate to report this, but I bought a $25 mike 3 years ago at radio shack that has a 1/8" plug. I and my kids use it to make cassettes on a little plastic, portable magnavox CD player/radio/cassette player. I swear the audio (voice) is clearer on those cassette than it is on playback of my...

I have a program done on my VF80 which consists of 6 tracks. I know how to bounce to tracks 7/8 (I assume those are stereo tracks, and if you pan some tracks left and some right, they show up as left and right on 7/8 after bouncing?) I appreciate your comments on this. My main question du jour...

I sense from my stupid Fostex manual that "scrubbing" means to clean up an audio file by eliminating noise in the spots where there is no music, this as opposed to an old fashioned hi freq. filter that clips highs throughout the chain. Am I close? If you know, also please differentiate...

Here I go again. I finally got some content on my VF80 (my own "Bulgarian Bumblebees," sung in 3-part harmony to the tune of "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" -- pretty funny.) But I STILL don't know how to get it on the #*!@$#% computer in mp3 format so that I can e-mail the thing to friends. I have worn...

Hello, Bill! I am only today getting a chance to listen to your excellent CD. There are so many things I like about it. The relative levels of background music and voice are just perfect. I wonder where you got the music. How'd you get it into the VF80? I also think you must be using nicer mikes...

This condenser has been "on sale" at m.friend for about 4 weeks at $99, allegedly retailing at $399. I am tempted to grab it but frankly would rather have time to test a few mikes before hurrying to buy my next one. So the questions are: 1) is this really that extraordinary a deal? 2) If I...

Eureka!! I started to write to tell everyone that I couldn't raise any reverb on my vf80. Or set any EQ. I had resigned myself to living with dry, flat and boring tracks for all eternity. "At least it records," said I with a sigh to myself. Then I looked at the manual, for the 51st time (50...

I re-read the old threads about S/pidf and am embarrassed to have posted my pedestrian observations, to which you kindly responded, to folks with your level of sophistication. I honestly had no idea about this SCSI and ADAT business. I've come this far, so I'll go a wee bit further and ask...
