    MIDI question

    What's a good program for converting to mp3?

    The last song that I converted to mp3 sounded absolutely aweful after it was converted (not that the original sounded great). :D But seriously, I exported the song as a 16/44.1 stereo wav file. I then used Audacity to convert it to a 128 mp3. The mp3 lost so much quality and also had this...

    Anybody tried these mics? I see that they're introducing an enCORE 100i instrument microphone. One of those just might have to end up in my mic collection.:D

    Check it out...How does it sound? Our Great God

    This is a rough mix. Not perfect I know, but tell me what you think about the sound and mix. I know that there are some timing issues and the vocals aren't that good (singer was sick and will be redone). But, how does it sound? Do the instruments work well together? Levels of instruments...

    question about tracking too hot......

    I just read Massive's article on tracking too hot... I'm going under the "no stupid question" assumption, here.:rolleyes: Let's say that I've tracked to -12dbFS, then in my DAW I increase the gain by 10db (not moving the fader, but processing the track to increase the gain). Is that the...

    How would you do it?

    Here's what's up. I recorded a Christmas choir concert that consisted of 3 different choirs. The same piano and mic setup was used for each choir. In other words, there was no time between choirs to change the setup. I have a total of 14 tracks for a little over an hour of record time...

    question about automation

    Once I highlight multiple automation points for a track, is there a way to use my controller's fader to move all of those points at a time? I can click and drag them with a mouse, but I'm wondering about doing it with my fader?
