Hey there; Yeah... I've been away for a bit, but it's nice to be back!! :D :D A friend of mine bounced this off me to try, and though I was skeptical, I gave it a go - and it worked!! :confused: He suggested this.... Plug a mic into a compressor (in my case, I plugged an SM58 into my...

Hi there; I've been doing a fair bit of reading lately about dual monitors, and a lot of people who are using Cubase say that they are using dual monitors, and could never go back to just one. So... I put in another video card into my computer (so now 2 video cards) and hooked up an old 14"...

A friend of mine has a program called MusicTime (on the disk, it is spelled MuzicTime, if I recall....) that he uses to compose, and then play his compositions back through a hardware sound module. The program seems to span three floppy disks, with the installation stuff on disk one. He...

There has been a fair bit of discussion lately on Behringer stuff - particularly mixers - and the corresponding rhetoric that typically accompanies discussion regarding Behringer gear. I thought I'd try to find specific details regarding the accusation that Mackie made against Behringer...

I've been reading stuff, seeing ads, etc., and I find myself wondering this more and more these days.... There are lots of hardware multi-effects processors out there. Many of us are using computers to record with. Is there any reason/advantage, etc. of having a unit like this as opposed to...

Hey there; I have a quirky problem (yes, music gear related :rolleyes: ); I typically run a mic or a bass into my Behringer Composer Pro compressor (very moderate compression usually), and then into a Peavey TMP1 mic pre. From there, the mic pre goes to my Delta 44 sound card. When I do it...

Hey there!! After a long and sometimes exasperating session the other night, we have finally completed mixing our first song that we recorded together. It's the same song that we posted a while back that was simply a live recording done with a couple of mics. Joe and I did all the recording...

This might seem to be a silly question, but I've always maintained that the stupidest questions are the ones that go unasked.... I've read a fair bit about recording guitars and such by running a single guitar into multiple amplifiers. I have gathered that this is done with a Y-type cable (or...

I've been pulling my hair out trying to find the answer to what should be a simple thing. I'm using VST5.1 and the LM4 MKII drum module. I can go to my file menu and load in an instrument (the .fxp files) - no problem. I can't seem to load in an individual bank, though. For example, there is...

Here's something I've never been totally clear on. I'm using VST 5.1 with a Delta 44 soundcard. When I'm setting my input levels, there is a meter in the soundcard mixer applet, and of course, the input meter in Cubase on my channel. The input meter of the soundcard seems to be a little less...

Hi there; I have an ART ECC processor, which I have been pretty happy with (got it on an even trade for my Digitech RP-1...) One thing, though.... In the compression settings, there are three parameters.... the last two of them are pretty typical: ratio, and output. While one would expect...

Sorry to ask again, but I'm wondering if my subject heading of "classical influences" didn't attract many of the people that might know the answer to this.... hence the "calling all metal-heads." I grew up listening to a lot of the guitarists from the '80's metal bands, when it was pretty...

I read a post somewhere fairly recently, and I can't remember where, but this person alluded to posting mp3's on the net (at mp3.com specifically) and made some sort of passing reference to losing rights to the songs, and to no longer being able to say that the works were "unpublished." (along...

Hey there; I grew up listening to a lot of the guitarists from the '80's metal bands, when it was pretty common for a number of players to have backgrounds in playing classical guitar - starting with Randy Rhodes, through to Rik Emmett (Triumph), and perhaps, most notably, Malmsteen. (and a...

HI there; I've been using Cubase VST since ver 3.6, and have been VERY happy with the software. It has lead me to recognizing many more limitations of my hardware than realizing limitations within the software.... totally cool! I've not yet been able to afford to go to VST32, though...

Hey there; I've been doing some reading in some older threads. One started to head in this direction, and then veered off somewhere else, so I thought I would ask it as a separate question. Do you use downward expanders? I have one built into my Behringer Composer Pro, and find that, if set...

I posted this question to another newsgroup and got no reply. This is turning out to be a really great group, though, so I thought I'd ask here. The first mic I ever bought (my requirements were cheap and available.... for the mic, that is....) was an AKG D80. I recognized the brand name and...

Hey there; To some degree, I'm sure this topic has been covered to death, and I have read a great deal on it already. The dillemma that I'm experiencing, though, goes a bit beyond what is typically covered. I know that many guitarists/producers, etc. will use a sound that is not what they...

Hi there; This is my first post here, though I've been lurking for a while. I am presently working on recording some of my own material, and am interested in what people think of it so far - whether you would like to critique the song, the performance, or the production. Without typing an...
