Hi, It has been an up-hill battle trying to learn the routing in the Control Console software that came with my Presonus Firestudio 26x26. Just when I thought I was getting it, I've been foiled again, and am wondering if someone could help. I recently installed Snow Leopard on my Mac (an...

Hi, I am experiencing a couple of problems in using my Presonus Firestudio 26x26 for tracking. I have had no luck in terms of suggestions from Presonus's tech support, so I am hoping someone here can help as I am become quite demoralized by these problems. I should say here that I'm sure that...

Hi, I'm looking for a digital recorder to use as a notebook, mostly for song ideas. It doesn't have to be multitrack, and I'd like it to be the size of those digital voice recorders which reporters use (and which themselves are about the size of the old micro/mini cassette recorders). But I...

Hi, I was checking out loop pedals a couple of months ago, but have since become aware that 'fancier' pieces of equipment (such as some of the various guitar workstations available) also incorporate looping technology. So, I'm wondering if it's worth getting one of these workstations (e.g...

Hi, I spent about 45 minutes yesterday comparing a pair of Yorkville YSM1P’s and KRK RP5's. I can only afford monitors in this price range right now. I loved the clarity and separation in the mids of the YSM1P's, but found, that the highs were very harsh (and after about a half hour of...

Hi, I want to increase my monitor options for recording beyond the headphones that I've been using for tracking and mixing, I want to output the signals from my Presonus Fires Studio to a set of speakers. I originally thought that I could output to a preamp, but it was pointed out to me in that...

Hi, I recently switched to a DAW, after having recorded with a 4 track analog (Tascam 424 MKII) on and off for the last few years. I'm noticing that I'm getting quite different results using the same mic./recording set up that I used to use with the 4 track, and I was wondering if people...

Is there any way of doing stereo drums in Garage Band 3 using the software kits in Garage Band? (Panning various parts of the kid across the stereo 'picture'). The only way that I can think of is by duplicating tracks, panning each track to a different position, and deleting the instruments so...

Hi, I've got a weird problem with my recently purchased Presonus Firestudio and am hoping people here can help. Initially, I installed the BETA drivers and was successfully able to record in Garageband. The various record, input and monitor switches in GB were all working properly. At this...

Hi, I've set up my Firestudio audio interface on my Mac Pro, and have set up the System Preferences in the Mac, and the audio Input and Output under Garageband 3's 'Sound' tab of the program's Preferences. However, in my headphones - even without reverb or anything - I'm hearing a kind of...

Hi, After years of research, I finally bought a Mac Pro and Presonus Firestudio (audio interface) for audio recording (I'll be doing some video editing, too). However, after reading the Firestudio set up instructions twice and installing the drivers, I then plugged the unit in and couldn't get...

Hi, I'm in the final stages of driving myself crazy, so I was hoping that all of you could either tip me over the edge or pull me back from the brink. Over the past few months (and interrupted by two family tragedies) I have almost fully assembled a powerful DAW which I will be using mostly for...

Hi, I finally bought a Mac Pro (2.66) recently as the basis of my first DAW project studio and video editing platform. I had originally intended to buy an RME Fireface 400 as the basis of the audio side of things, but worry about that choice for two reasons: 1. I think I'd like a mixer that I...

Hi, I'm saving for a Mac Pro, and in the meantime would like to update my old Tascam 424 with a portable digital multitrack. Here are my must have criteria: 1. 8 tracks 2. Tracks should be bounceable (I don't care about virtual tracks) 3. Must have a drum machine 2. Must be capable of writing...

Hi, After much hard thought and research I've decided to go Mac (Pro) for my audio sequencing (multitrack) and video editing needs. While I plan to use Final Cut Express to for my ('prosumer') video editing needs, I had had my heart set on using Sonar Producer Edition 6 as my multitrack program...

I'm about to purchase a Mac as my DAW, and use Logic Pro with it, and was wondering about importing a .WAV file (a friend has Home Studio, made by Cakewalk). If I import the file, will I then be able to 'clone' it, i.e. make a Logic Pro version of it, so that I can add effects, fool around with...

O.K., fess up, has anyone here 'adapted' to using anything other than 'real' studio monitors for multitracking (either for cost or space reasons)? I'm wondering whether people have learned to compensate for the biases / sound colorations that things like headphones or hi fi speakers might...

Hi, I've reluctantly made the decision to go for a Mac Pro when putting together my DAW and am wondering what sequencers out there have a gentler learning curve than Pro Tools, Logic etc., and are cheaper than these sequencers. This is important to me because I want to ease myself into computer...

Hi, Does anybody know if the RME Fireface 400 is compatible with the Mac Pro? I ask this because RME PCI cards are not compatible with the G5's PCIe slots (see below for a quote that I took from RME's website. Thanks, GV From RME's website: "RME updates information on G5 compatibility All...
