    What does (if at all) anyone use to convert VST plugins to DXi ones? Is it possible? Thanks

    Help with deleting unwanted wave files?

    It's hard to explain this particular problem. Basically, as you all know, Cakewalk likes to eat up the hardrive. Big time. I formatted about 3 months ago and now I have 2GB left (from about 30). Anyway, to cut to the point, I see no way of easily removing things I don't need, as the files are...

    Studio Projects C4 Clips!

    Howdy! Finally my drummer came round today with all his equipment, and we did a few tests on drums and acoustic guitar. We had little time, so positioning wasn't great - but here's what we managed to do: 1) Drums - C4's in "Recorderman" positions - into DMP3 --> Lexicon Omega...

    Sennheiser e865

    Does anyone have experience with this mic? It is (unlike the other evolution range) a hypercardioid condenser (yep, not a dynamic), and a friend of mine has it. I was thinking of it for vocals and snare, especially as I only have access to a Behringer B1 (and very occasionally a SP B1). The...

    Most effective way to mix down?

    Sorry if this is an over-asked question, but I'm having real problems retaining anything LIKE the original sound quality when I mix down. I've been using the dreaded "Export Audio" (to .wav) in Cakewalk, but it makes my music sound much harsher, scratchy almost. I've been trying to think of a...

    Export Audio sounds like shi-

    Does what it says on the tin! Speaking of tins, when I export audio using cakewalk, my beautiful songs sound very tinny, and the sound quality is diminished loads! Is there any way I can succesfully export without it sounding terrible? Thanks!

    A few annoying questions

    Of course I'm just saying that so you won't flame me, but it's really in vain cause I'm sure you will anyway :D 1) Got our C4's and DMP3 today. We have no means of recording other than combining the two mics onto one line into a minidisk player. Will something like an MOTU 828MK1 sound...

    My weird mic

    I have this odd Battery powered electret mic. It's "Videolink", presumable used for camcorders, and obviously not very good. That aside, I've actually got some pretty good sounding acoustic from it - except for one problem, hiss. My questions are, a) Am I being ignorant and this tone actually...

    Gt-55

    It's ridiculous. We're all waiting for someone else to get a Groove Tubes mic before ourselves, so no one really knows how good they are :D I've done all my "Search button" research, I've found one clip of this mic, and thats about it. One online review. In the UK our prices suck, quite...

    Vocal Harshness - How can I avoid this?

    I've tried posting this over at RO and no one quite knew what the problem was. Some say the mic and my voice aren't friends, some say theres a type of digital distortion. I recorded the clip with a B1 and a VTB-1. I'd like to stress at this point that I like the mic and I do not wish this to...

    How close to the kick can a condenser go?

    Right: We've got a B1, we want to use it for the kick drum (and general front of kit). How close can I go to the kick without damaging its capsule etc?

    Argh! Pretty urgent question!

    OK. I admit it. I'm a dunce. A class-A dunce. Now, I ordered a DMP3 to have my cousin bring to the UK from america, but without thinking about power. Will the DMP3 not work AT ALL with UK electricity? If I used an adapter plug, would it work, or do contrasting voltages mean it might blow up or...

    Best nylon classical strings?

    Hi, I've just dug up my brothers old nylon guitar, and it's actually pretty good, but desperately in need of new strings. I was wondering if you had any recommendations for brands etc? Thanks! :)

    Need a music shop in Boston - Please help soon!

    Hi, I'm looking to get some equipment, and as my cousin is in Boston (I'm in the UK), I thought I could save a lot of money (over $200!) if he bought some. I need to know some place in Boston he could get me: - Studio projects C4's - DMP3 Preferably the same place. If you can tell me of a shop...

    Recuerdos de la Alhambra

    I don't know if you know this song, its a very famous spanish guitar song. Now I think I know the technique for this song, but I'll have to be honest. How on earth does anyone play that quickly? I can't imagine being able to do that, anyone know? :)

    Hercules 16/12

    I did a little search on this product, but having not been around very long there haven't been any reviews or such. Does anyone know much about it? The specs indicate it's very good, but the price is lower than its equivalent (MOTU etc.) Anyone know? Thanks :D

    Compression - Come laugh at my question

    OK, I admit, my knowledge is limited. I admit, I didn't have much luck in searching. I know what compression is, I know the idea behind it, but what I really want to know is: does it REALLY make that much difference? Compressors cost an awful lot of money (well in my terms) and I don't quite see...

    Please TRY and help

    Hi, I don't even know if this is possible, but I figured you would know if anyone.... I have a pair of monitors that I want to link up to my computer, but it only has a single out. This still produces a stereo picture for the computer speakers, so I'm trying to get it to work for my monitors...

    New equipment! Finally....

    OK, so it's only a B1 and VTB-1, which are now no longer here (my brother has em), and it's still going into my AC97 soundcard, but I think it sounds pretty good. So: www.digitalsoundplanet.com/Members/000107703_000005645_proj.mp3 Thanks
