The current issue of Sound On Sound is singing the praises of the Mackie Onyx 400...saying it's next generation AKM mastering grade converters & Onyx technology preamps make this unit's sound hard to beat in the pro-audio converter range. Anyone have this unit? If so...how does the...

If you look at the signal flow chart for SONARs 2 & 4 (& I'm assuming it’s the same for 5)...for Tracks, the sequence is: Clip Automation > Trim > FX Insert > Track Volume...permitting any signal to be altered prior to track plug-in Input (in turn affording more control over how the plug-in...

People... Why is it that the following (from the Help files), never seems to work: I open the program...add audio tracks & remove MIDI tracks from the default empty project to create a normal template of my own liking...save it as normal.cwt... ...but then the next time I open the...

Man... Somebody please kick my ragged ass !!! Got my KRK Rockit8's about 6 months ago; & fed them (for some reason) with unbalanced RCA lines (1/4" TS > Coax.) Right away I thought they were kinda' on the LOUD side...had to set the hardware outs on my AI (Echo Audio Layla 24/96) nominally to...

Crew... Have been attempting to master my CD with a pair of KRK Rockit 8's; & have been pulling the ol' hair out with my vocals. The vox are too dull; & every attempt at high-end EQ creates a buzz...regardless of quality of plug-in or curve utilized. Any kind of stiff attack or burst in the...

People... Onto my final phase of CD production; & I'm now ready for adding a few decibels of RMS to my tracks...as well as adjusting the overall gain of various tracks for CD level uniformity...& have ran into a software "limiting" dilemma. I'm using UAD-1's Precision Limiter across the...

So...I'm auditioning reverbed tracks in the mix for one of my best vocal performances...on my KRK Rockit 8's. My ears perk up when I roll a track that was verbed with GlaceVerb...one of it's nicest presets. Everything sounds great...the vocal is right up front in the mix & has a real nice...

People... Nearing the end of the CD project...& right now my two best verbs are an outboard hdwe. unit (a Lexicon MPX-500) & Real Verb Pro (part of my UAD-1 plug-in system.) I would like at least the vocals on the CD to have as nice a reverb sound as possible...but I'm not sure what I have now...

People... I'm still having what I presume to be "trouble", with the vocals on one of my tunes from our upcoming CD release. I've used 3 different mics (Audio-Technica AT4050, Shure KSM27, AKG C 535 EB) & 2 different pres (UA 2-610, Grace Model 101); & continue to wind up with "harmonic...

Remember when we all used to argue over which platform was more DAW efficient & friendly...Win 9x/XP on a Wintel machine or OS on a Mac? So I'm reading the Bill Gates interview in PC Mag this past month...& come to find out that three-quarters of the OS code is Microsoft code...going back to...

People, What's the deal with joining ASCAP (or BMI, for that matter)? Are they airplay unions? Should you join one, or both? Which one is better? Is it really necessary? Reason I ask ??? The CD is almost complete; & I want to make sure the band has all the bases covered. Also: can a...

I can't take it... I'm on my third world-class preamp (two of which many of the members here contributed toward helping me choose...for which I'm still very grateful)...& it turns out the buzz in my vocals is caused by my mic (an AT4050.) I don't know this to be a technical fact, mind...

People... I recently acquired a Grace Design 101 mic/inst. pre for my project studio. Sounds beautiful. A few months ago, I acquired a Korg D1600mkII digital multitracker for location recording. Sounds beautiful. Now...I know enough about classes of operation & component quality to be able...

Universal Audio 2-610 Dual Channel Tube Microphone, Line & Instrument Preamplifier - Not one year old...used sparingly; & in excellent, almost new condition. Paid $1,950 + tax. Asking $1,600 (+ shipping.) This is the preamp designed after the legendary 610 Modular Console. For specs...

People, Looking to move to a solid state preamp; & want basically linear amplification with little or no coloration. I know Grace Design (& even FMR) preamps fit that bill...but I'd rather have line inputs vs. Hi-Z. The classic Focusrite stuff (Reds, ISA'a, etc.) all have signature sounds...

Crew... After loading SONAR4 on my machine, every native plug-in available in v4 is also available in v2.2 (which I still use for the bulk of my work.) But Lexicon's Pantheon Reverb is only half available...in that it's operative for Surround only. I tried it, but the processed track sounds a...

Q...(& everybody)... I couldn't just leave well enough alone, I guess. I surmised that...if the audio data streams more efficiently from a "Files First" audio disk location...the program files on the local drive should also; & I went about painstakingly entering folder paths as such in Speed...

OK... The CD's almost complete (& please...don't any of you blokes bust on me, now...I know I took way too long.) After it's release (sometime in early August) I was hoping to move up to the next A/D/A - Audio Interface level, grab a new PC workstation, etc., etc. My existing AI is a Layla...

Crew, In reading Martin Walker's excellent article on hard drive defragmentation for PC musicians (in last month’s S.O.S.), he concluded that, ideally...the major sequencer manufacturers could go a long way in suggesting (or providing) a utility suitable for rearranging audio files on a drive...
