At a basic level... will standing thick rolls of carpet in each corner of my tiny (7'x9') control room reduce some of the bass frequencies??? :confused: I appreciate that the frequencies reduced would be impossible to predict but the whole lower end is booming all over the place. I currently...

Hi all Been waiting for a reply from Applied Acoustics but so far nothing... Lounge Lizard (2) is flat! When I boot it up in SX2 I just can't get it in tune. Tried reinstalling with no change... any ideas??? SX2, Audiophile 24/96, Athlon 2800, 1 G Ram, 280G Harddrive space (over 2 units). I...

I see LOADS of people advertising for singers. Something that I've come across that works brilliantly... Find a college that does a (Popular) music course. Check out the final years performances... Find someone you like and offer them a job... THEY'LL JUMP AT IT! ... I did! :cool: (a few...

Ok, big debate and I know it's usually down to personal taste... but I'm hoping for your opinions. Those of you who have tried both... do you think that there is much difference in quality of sound between these??? I ask because I use Waves Diamond but I'm getting fed up of my CPU groaning on...

This is a serious issue that I hope that you guys can help with. I consider myself as just above newbie. I've been recording in a home setup for 6 years pretty constantly. I'm now working on the most important project. I often hear people say that if the song is no good then you can't make it...

Hi, I've been recording a local duet for a demo CD (just to go to pubs for promotion) and was struck by a thick guitarist (no jokes I'm a guitarist too!). He insisted on me recording his very nice Semiacoustic DI'd through an amp sim. The intention was for it to sound like the perfect live set...

Hi all, I need to get a semi weighted keyboard asap and these are in Millenium music for £110. Anyone use them? I've not used USB yet, any good for keyboards?? I'm not much of a pianist so I don't need all 88 keys. Any other recommendations???

Hi, I want to have more inputs for my computer. I currently have an Audiophile 24/96. I've heard that you can put more than one audiophile card into a machine and run them both in... is this correct?? :confused: I'd probably just get another 24/96 as it sounds great to me.

Hi, my old harddrive died dramatically last month and I'm getting it replaced. I'm going to go for a Seagate (for acoustic reasons) and it's going to be 7200. The question is... how much better is the 8m buffer for Operating System Drive? I know it's vital for the audio drive to kick out a...

It may be the leads but I wanted to see if this rang a bell with anyone. Midi and power are via Game controller input on PC. When the keyboard is turned on a constant midi signal buzzes into cubase (SX2) causing the midi input meter to jump around madly! *But doesn't actually trigger anything*...

Just been given a white 70's Ibanez double neck SG to work with. Man this thing is heavy! It's massive! A disgrace! Ugly! AND FULL ON ROCK!!! :cool: You can't help but get Zepplin on every track! I was planning on using it on a 'slightly' rock track to give it some energy and it's turned...

Hi, I've seem that this card is advertised as 4 in 4 out... I've counted the sockets and that just aint happening! Do they mean that you can use the spdif in/outs as well as the audio in/outs??? Or is it strickly one or the other??

Hi, Sounds like a simple question but I have no idea! I put my PC together last year: Athlon 2800, 120G HD, 1Gb Ram (2x512), Audiophile 24/96. Now my software system has increased dramatically - Waves Platinum!!! Yay! I'm finding that my computer is starting to struggle with running a...

Hi, I've been recording acoustic stuff for a few years now and never really needed to eq (I had a good teacher on mic placement!) :) Now I'm doing full band work, I have heard that different eq's have different qualities. Which software eq's do you prefer?? (Skip the financial worries, let's...

:confused: I tested it by running my fx unit into the stereo ins on the back and it worked brilliantly. Now I plug my mic into the front the signal is there but doesn't seem to leave the Penta... phantom power is on, mic/ist button is pressed and lights are flashing but no sound. Any thoughts???

Hey guys! I've been using Waves Platinum for the past year and find it tasty at the mixdown/mastering stages (depending on project)... Although I have had a tendancy to 'overcook' the mix at times. My new Focusrite Penta is due to arrive any day now (for tracking mainly) and I was wondering...

Hey guys, I just picked up a huge 70's 12 string acoustic (with a slight dent) for £36 of ebay!!!!! Because of the massive saving I can pretty much get whatever strings are best. And because I only intend to replace the strings a minimal amount of times (it's a scarey job!) I want good ones...

Hey guys! I've been playing my lovely Strat for 14 years. It is wonderful... yet I still miss the 'balls' I got from my old Les Paul (copy!). It has the 3 single coil pickups as standard and I was wondering how easy would it be for me to change the rear one to a humbucker? The overall aim is...

Has anyone in this forum used Auralex Xpanders for recording vocals in a less than perfect room? I put a post up and plenty have people have looked but no-one has helped.

Hi, I've been using various incarnations of Cubase for about five years and made countless tracks. I was advised by a friend that a group track for my drums would be useful. However when I create a group track all that happens is that the tracks I have copied into it are out of phase with the...
