Does anyone know if there is Control Surface Support for Adobe Audition CS 5.5 for MAC OS X? I want to get a Behringer BCF2000 Control Surface but I can't find out for sure if Audition CS5.5 for MAC OSX supports that. It would be absolutely ridiculous if it didn't, but I wouldn't be surprised in...

Hi there, I have been tracking my band in Adobe Audition CS5.5 on a brand new imac OSX 10.6 with 16GB of ram and a terabyte of disk space through a TASCAM US-1800 interface. All has been going great when all of the sudden during a session, a new track was being recorded along to the other...

Hi there, Seems, more and more I'm seeing pictures of studios with live rooms that are made all or mostly of wood - the floors, walls and ceiling. And anytime I see this, there looks to be to absorption panels or bass trapping. I understand some rooms dimensions are designed in a way to avoid...

Hi there, I was at a second hand store today and something dawned on me. Everywhere I go I'm always looking for objects that could replicate or act as a makeshift diffuser in my recording studio. I know they come in all different styles but the most important thing is that it needs to be...

Hi there, Started tracking some guitars last night for a couple songs on a demo my rock band will be releasing shortly. Here's the chain: Guitar>Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 2x12 combo amp>sm57 on grill and an Apex435 Wide Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser as a room mic>cable snake into control room>Tascam...

Hi there, Adobe Audition has removed a few crucial things that are almost guaranteed to be used by ANYONE recording a song, such as the metronome. Ridiculous. Anyways, I am also finding there is NO noise gate feature? How in the world is anyone expected to do anything professional in this...

Hello there, I am tracking my alternative groove rock band. I want to know how to record a track with Audition's digital compression in real time as I record. In other words, I want the track to have compression on it as it records into Audition, therefor I won't have to apply it to the track...

Here's something interesting I was wondering about... When I have mic'ed my drums in the past, I have always used close-mic'ing on each drum and 2 overheads in X-Y pattern. What I have typically done in the past, was place the overheads in X-Y smack dab over the center of my kit. Not over the...

Something similar to these: They are up in the corners. I won't be taking acoustic measurements with a special meter, just my ears. If the instruments recorded in the room come off nicely in the mix without an over-abundance of bass muddiness, and have good punch, then they've done their job...

Hey there, I just finished adding some strategically placed 1x1 foam wedges on the walls and ceiling of my tracking room (drums, guitars, percussion, etc) in a checkerboard pattern. I have also added bass traps in all four corners and have the room sounding pretty good. The control room is...

Has anyone ever tried this? Just wondering where you put the mic and what worked best for you for rock drums. I know, I know...try and see what works best, etc. But I am just asking what has worked best for other people. I am going to be using a CAD KBM412 Cardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Mic (CAD...

Hi there, This is embarassing to ask, but it's about time I do... I have close mics on all my drums but I use x2 CAD ICM 417 cardioid condenser electret microphones as overheads. Here's the link to the page on their site: CAD Audio - The Brand Used by Professionals!. I also attached a picture...

Hi there, I just bought a brand new 27" top of the line off-the-shelf imac, which I plan to use for mostly video editing, music recording and graphic design, all at home. Anyways, my crappy setup which has always worked good enough for what I need is the following: Behringer Eurorack MX2004A...

Hi there, I'd post this in the Cool Edit forum but it doesn't look like anyone has been in there for a while so I really hope someone can help here... Equipment: - PC Windows XP platform with Realtek AC97 Audio Card - Cool Edit Pro 2.0 (I know, I know) - Behringer Eurorack MX 2004A mixer with...

Hello there, I am looking for an affordable compressor solution for when I record my drums. I am recording mostly rock type stuff but it varies. I use a Behringer mixer with an AUX 1 and AUX 2 available as well as individual AUX adjustment knobs for each channel. I use a Shure SM57 on snare and...

Hey, Has anyone ever used this ride before? If so.... 1 - How did you like it in general 2 - What style of music did you play with it 3 - Was it loud enough for louder rock music, metal, etc 4 - Was it dynamic enough for lighter, softer playing in a jazz-like situation Here's the thing...I like...

Hey there, I think it would be useful to get a couple of ballpark opinions on a few Tune-ups I want to have done to my current Tama Kit. 1 - Bearing edges re-cut. I was thinking of getting the bearing edges re-cut on top and bottom for my 12 and 13 toms. Not terribly noticeable but with a...

I just recently bought a new large cowbell by LP. It is designed to reduce the resonance a bit http://www.lpmusic.com/Product_Showcase/Cowbells/lp_rock_classic_ridge.html. But it still has a decay of of about 1.5 seconds. I want to dampen it to just get a nice loud, full "dok" type of sound...
