I see a lot of post on here, some of them are mine about effective mixing. One thing people fail to include most of the time is what you hope to achieve when mixing a track. For example, when you mix a hip-hop track, are you trying to get all of the drums and instruments pretty much even on...

To put things short, I have samples up the ASS but something is missing!!! I have a few software synth like FreeAlpha and Waldolf Attack but Im having problems. Im not sure what exactly each knob does to my sound. I know about playing with the knobs but is there a better explaination to what...

I bought a computer that came with a SoundMax Digital soundcard which aint bad; but I later on bought a Audiophile Delta. All my inputs and outputs on the Audiophile are used. I want to hook my headphones to my computer but I can't because I dont have anymore slots left on the Audiophile. I want...

Im using a Triton keyboard which has an Audio output using 1/4 left, and a 1/4 right. I have a Hosa cord, which on one end has two mono 1/4 plugs and on the other end has a stereo 1/8 plug. I plugged the 1/4th plugs into my Triton and on the other end I placed an adapter to make the 1/8th into...

Im in the Sequencer mode. I have a melody recorded to track 1. I would like to know a quick way to transpose the melody to another octave besides using Event Edit and going note by note. This is time consuming!!! Anyone?? Thank you!

I usually start off with the keys and work my drums around what I played. I play my hi hats and other percussion in real time. I also automate the mutes on certain tracks to give my tracks a little twist. I rarely compress my drums because they are mostly from high quality sample CDs I get from...

I own a Triton, 2 modules, and have sounds up the ass but one thing plagues me. I hear commercial Rap/R&B and they consist of many good guitar licks and I know most are played by real guitarist. BUT... how can synth owners like myself makeup for the lack of guitar skill and be able to contruct...

Im using Cool Edit 2.0 and it has a nice Spectrum Analyer but the thing is, I see all these post on using Spec Anayzers, but Im not sure what to do once I know the frequencies of the track. My ear as far as mixing goes SUCKS, and I would like to use the SA to assist me in finding out which...

I have a basic song consisting of just drums in Fruity Loops 4. I had an artist of mine write and record his verse to the drum song I made in Fruity Loops. His vocals are in Wav Format. I want to import his vocals into a sequencer like Sonar or Cubase. I want to build the keyboard and synth...

I feel dumb asking this quesiton, but its very interesting to me and other synth users. I hear funk guitars and I want to know how to achieve that "Wakul Wakul" "Waaw" 70's sound that I hear guitarist playing on funky riffs... using a keyboard. I have included links to 2 quick EXAMPLES at the...

I own a Triton and for over 3 years Ive been just playing my melodies out or using Event Edit..... a friend of mine told me try out arps, never tried them... *Anyone else use them???? When??? What genre? Chords or single note? Just fill me in with a little incite on arpeggiators, what I heard...

I have a Triton with 4 tracks of instruments on it's sequencer. I want to know how to sync my Triton to my Cubase or Cool Edit Pro in a way that when I press play on my Triton's sequencer, and press record on Cubase or Cool Edit; it records 4 separate audio tracks simultaneous into Cubase or...

I have a Triton and Im trying to sync it up with Cubase SX, my cables are correct; my settings are just wrong. What Im trying to do is simple.... 1) Import a drum loop into Cubase SX 2) Start my sequencer on my Triton 3)When the Triton sequencer starts recording, I want Cubase to play the drum...

I have a set of Mackie HR824s, and they are connected my Audiophile soundcard. For some reason, my left speaker is way louder than my right, and I didnt notice this until I used my Audiophile software mixer to mute each track separately. Both monitors have the same settings in the back of them...

I am over here producing and mixing tracks with Cool Edit Pro and Cubase SX and I have a quick question. Is there any program or plug-in out there that allows you to play a few notes via MIDI or something; and it tells you what key you are playing in? I know a little theory, but it would really...

I hear all this talk about comping vocals and I just recently did 3 takes of a verse and I want to comp them in Cool Edit Pro. The thing is... how do I cut and paste the best parts without having to worry about them being off time. Do I make a 4th track or just delete parts from the existing 3...

Hey, I just bought this Audiophile 2496 thing and originally I had the soundcard that comes with my computer. I still have the old soundcard installed and would like to be able to use it in addition to my Audiophile. How do I go about using two soundcards at the same time without conflicting...

I just bought the Audiophile 2496 and I have Cool Edit Pro 2. Im trying to record something playing from Real Player to Cool Edit Pro. I have some audio that only RealPlayer can play and I want to hit record in Cool Edit and have the audio record from Real Player to Cool Edit's sequencer. I want...

I bought one of these mic pre's today because the guy at Guitar Center said that it was better than the Focusrite Vocalmaster thing, which was in the same price range. Before I hookup the unit I want to get some advice from fellow buyers/users. Any settings to start with? How can I get the most...
