Need some opinions on what you feel will give a more true mix when using powered monitors... For info my new system is a Motu 828 / Logic Platinum / Event PS5 monitors. To achieve truer frequency response from my monitors should I... 1) Crank the monitors up completely and use the output gain...

If you have a 24bit (48/44.1) digital capability in you system just how important IS 96??

I've got about a grand to spend and was (until recently) SOLD on a digi 001 system... ...8/8 BO box...software - what more do you need?? Then I heard about PC compatability issues (mine is borderline acceptable according to Digi). I heard about upgrades and non-XP / 2000 capabilities. Limited...

I posted this on the digidesign audioforum... ...please offer your perspectives...this scares me. "I'll be honest...I've been reading a ton of these Digi001 posts and they are making me uneasy. I can live with 24 tracks but more would be nice. So - I can bounce. What REALLY worries me is I'm a...

I saw a very informative link posted by Ed about guitar cabinet mic'ing for better tracking... Since you had to jump back and forth between the .jpeg and the post to understand I decided to reformat it for all who wish to download. I hope you find this as informative as I did. Thanks Ed. I...

I use the term "best" loosely here because my "studio" is in my bedroom. In order to get away from the PC noise I have two choices..the bathroom where it sounds great when I sing and the closet where the sound is VERY flat. I've done most of my tracking to date in the bathroom - am I making a...

Does anyone have experience with Carvin mixing consoles?? A band I work with is looking into a new board and it seems Carvin offers some very nice boards for several hundred $$ less than Mackies / Soundcraft / Alesis etc... So are you saving money because you are buying direct or is the quality...

I just had a debate with a friend about Powered vs Passive (w/amp) monitors in the $500 price range. I've heard great things about the JBL 25P's (great sound which also save some precious space) but he feels I would get something better if I buy passives and a separate amp?? Any thoughts?? zip >>

Can anyone explain the difference in Spectrum analyzer modes (Bartlett, Blackman, Hamming, Hann)??? I would imagine they are different algorythms but WHICH one should I use?? And does it matter ?? (I imagine it does...;)) Thanks !! zip >>

No I'm not talking about your new Neumann U87 or Roland VS series DAW.... ...I'm talking about your EARS and EYES!!! OK I know what you are going to say....:rolleyes: ....yeah when I go to a concert and sit by the PA I wear ear plugs....good start! But what about when you perform ORDINARY...

I know of a studio which is consolidating resources and they may have a few Valley Audio stereo rackmount compressor/limitors for sale...I believe the model is Dynamite3. Does anyone have an idea what these went for new?? Couldn't find them on the VA website... thanks for the info. zip >>

any recommendations on a good keyboard learning program?? ...need to quickly learn some basic keys to join a band. Thanks! zip >>

Sorry to start YET another near field post... I've heard a lot of good things about the JBL LSR series. I would like to stay on the small side as I am pressed for space (the cheaper $$ doesn't hurt either) BUT... ...will I shortchange myself by not waiting a bit for the 32L's?? My monitor...

Please help....I am at my wits end!! I posted yesterday about converting the mixed audio files to a .wav file so I an OK there. Here's what I am doing - hopefully I am missing a step or getting a setting wrong...?? - Imported a .wav file from a CD(tracks 1 & 2) - Added keyboard audio (tracks3...

If you mix down using the automated mix feature can you delete it?? I saw an edit function but since my final output clips a bit I want to start over with the entire mixdown process. Is this possible? Not needed?? zip >>

I've been pulling together a 10 track all audio composition in CWPA 8. It all sounds great and I've automated the mixdown. I still need to tweak the automation but I will address that in another post. According to the book I have (CW Power), the export can be done in one step by selecting...

I've been laying down some vocal and keyboard tracks and all is going well... ...until I try to patch in an effect after recording. I keep getting this error message. Something like "this plug-in requires a different sampling rate or stereo signal..." I'm recording audio from either a mic pre...

I'm doing an "audition" for a group here in town and they have asked me to dub keyboard parts onto their CD. I want to do this in Cakewalk as audio vs MIDI because I have to show them I can do this live. (ie don't want to quantize etc...) So here's the question... What will give a better...

OK...so I have read the articles on dithering and I need to make sure I have this straight. 1) I rip a 16 bit CD and modify it slightly for some reason (maybe slight EQ) then use my mastering compressor plug-in to give it a bit on UMPH... :) NO dither needed. 2) I record at 24 bits - perform...

Have any of you heard of a band out of the UK called "Delirious"?? They have a CD which was mastered out of Abbey Road in London called "King of Fools". I love the music but the mix / mastering seemed like compression overkill. Lemme explain. I imported the files into my editor to find the mix...
