lets just say a guitar track of a song starts off with the fader at zero, and then the automation curve moves the fader to 3 later, and then down to .5 If I change it so that the fader starts at -1 at the beginning, will it later moved to 2, and then down to -.5, or will it still go to 3 and .5?

Okay, tomorrow I'm going to be recording a drum track, and I'm gonna have to use a studio projects b1 condenser mic. How should I go about micing the bass drum. Also, today, I noticed when some plays a bass drum, air shoots out of the whole. So I assume I either need to use either a pop filter...

Ok, bad adjective. Anyways, I'm gonna record this band, and on one of the songs, the lead guitarist does a sort of Tom Morello-ish mechanical soundinf lick. I thought it'd be cool to shop up the part, out the different sgments on differnt tracks, nd pan each track differently so that the sound...

Hi, I'm about to record a heavy metal band, so I've been recording sanples of heavy guitar riffs all week, and I've noticed my guitars sound very two dimensional. I mean, the heavy thickness is there, but the guitars just sound kinda flat. I'm quadrupling the guitars and recording with an sm57...

I'm wondering if you guys know of anny good freeware out on the internet that can convert wav's to mp3's without losing quality. When I export my songs as an mp3, they sound very muffled.

Okay, I have a hardcore band coming in to record 2 or 3 songs in a few weeks[ very atreyu-ish, with some yngvie malmsteen-like guitarwork] and I'm wondering about recording the vocals. The lead vocalist screams every single song, as far as i know, and i've heard a 57 is used alot to record...

I'm doina sort of, Korn, marilyn manson, Nine Inch Nails-ish song, and I want to use the bit crusher to put a lo-fi effect on my vocals, but every time i use the lo fi preset, it gives me a lisp. Does anyone know a way to tweak the settings on the bit crusher so that it gives me a fuzzy, lo-fi...

Okay, heres a question for singer songwriters out there that record every instrument themselves. Well, I guess bands could answer this to. If you have a rhythymn guitar and a lead guitar in a song, but the lead, for the most part, just doubles the rhythymn throught the song, with perhaps a few...

I'm doing a sort of 3ll-ish song right now and I want to add in an acoustic guitar with my electric guitars, but I'm less concerned about hearing the pitch of the acoustic guitar, because mainly I just want hear to the rhythymic "chunk" or the strumming patterns. However, I don't want to take...

How often do you guys use the limiter function on your amp when recording or playing live?

The past couple of times I've imported a MIDI part into cubase, at some random spot in the song, the midi tracks skip and then start playing at an icredibly fast tempo. What the heck is going on?

It seems that everybody has one of these short keyboards called MIDI Controllers. From all I can tell, all they do is let you start recording, stop recording, and play back the song. At least that's what I've observed. So do you really need one? I mean, it's not really all that much trouble just...

I've been recording on this desktop computer for about a year now. Unfortunately, it's not just dedicated to my recordings. It's the family computer, and it's getting chocked full of crap. I have to delete tons of my songs just to download a VST plug in. I'd like to save up and buy a laptop...

At the beginning of "Lose yourself", by Eminem, there's two instruments two instruments playing. One's a piano. The other is some kind of synth. Whats the name for that synth sound, and is there a free vsti that can make that same sound or something similar I can download? Oh, and if you've...

Whenever I run a track through the bit crusher, instead of having it panned hard right, like it originally was, it plays straight down the center. I looked for a pan control is the bit crusher's edit panel, but i didn't see one. Is there any way I can have the track run through the bit crusher...

Okay, so yesterday I did something so that my transport panel just displays time, just to see what it looked like. Well, I need it back to set my left and right locators, and I can't figure out how to get it back to normal. Anyone care to help out a technically challenged newbie?

When I first start up a new project cubase, it runs fine. However, after the file starts to get larger, the computer starts slowing down. The mouse won't move when I tell it too, the song won't play whenn I tell it too, etc. I've tried closing all the programs that automatically run when I turn...

The first day I took my 57 out of the package, i dropped it, and at the time I didn't notice any signs of damage. Today, however, I noticed the grlle part in the middle of the end of the mic is dented. I don't notice any problems when I record, but could I be getting alot better tone if it...

Lately, Whenever I start a new project and use a template format, which I usually don't but anyways, a little window pops up and says: "Samplerate could not be set. This may be due to the sampleclock being set to external sync." However, when I use an empty template, the window never pops up...

Am I doing something wrong, or will cubase just not allow you to copy something on track 1 and paste it on track 2?
