I'm guessing there isn't, but is there an easy way to import projects from Pro Tools? This would be a wonderful feature because I often start with Pro Tools projects because of how my school's studio is set up, but I would like to be able to work with them in Reaper instead. I mean, if I don't...

I've been using a cheapo Nady mic pack for a while and I'm looking to upgrade to something a bit better, but without spending a lot of money. Currently, I'm digging the Glyn Johns technique, but the OHs that came with the Nady pack have nothing buy high end. You can hear that if you check out my...

I don't know if this has been asked explicitly here, so I apologize if it has. Pipeline, I know you covered this a bit in some of your tutorials, but I'm just wondering if there's a nice easy way to do this: I have four tracks of drums that I recorded. OHs, snare, kick (Glyn Johns). I'm not...

This might be the wrong place to ask this, but do they make adapters for PCI cards so that I could plug it in to a laptop via firewire? My desktop has always been really stupid and never works for more than a year at a time, so it'd be nice if I could just give up on trying to use it for serious...

Did I get your attention yet? Anyway, the song is up on my band's myspace, which is not going to be the best quality of mp3, but hopefully it's enough to get some useful feedback. Like the title says, it's sort of a middle-eastern sounding song. There are vocals, which you can hear in the second...

So I have two questions. I recently got an Aardvark Q10 and it's been great, but for some reason, Reaper won't keep the input alias names. If I name them "In 1", "In 2" and so on, it will rename them to "In 2", "In 2", "In 4", "In 4", etc. It basically doubles up the names. If I only remove the...

I've had a 1010LT for a while now, but I just got an Aardvark Q10. I'd like to use the Q10 for all the inputs (obviously), but I'd like to use the 1010LT for outputs. The monitors I use only have RCA and mini inputs, so if I wanted to go out of the Q10, I'd have to get adapters. I noticed that I...

This might be something some of you already know, or it might not even work for all of you, but I thought I'd post it just in case. I go to school right in the heart of DC. There are at least three broadcast towers within a mile radius of where I live, so as you can imagine, there is a lot of...

When I listen to Deftones, the guitar sounds really ambient for parts of it. I figured it was just that they put a lot of reverb on it, but when I try that it never sounds right. Am I just setting my reverb wrong, or are they doing something else to it? If you go to their myspace, I think you...

I'm looking to spend under $200, which is obviously not really enough to buy anything very decent, but I really can't justify spending more than that right now. I want as many pres as possible for that price. Right now I'm looking at the SMPro Audio PR8 line. I don't need it to have phase...

What's the benefit of having Reaper do automatic cross-fades? ACID does that sort of thing, but I'm not really sure what the point is. I assume there must be a good reason for it or they wouldn't advertise it so much, I just can't figure out what the purpose is. I mean, if you cut your tracks at...

This is probably a dumb question, or at least one that I feel I should know the answer to, but it's causing me some grief. At school here, we use a big soundcraft mixer. All the mics go into it (well, there's a patchbay involved, but whatever), go down through all the channel sends and faders...

I've been using Pro Tools for a while now (well, maybe 2 years, so I'm not super set on it) and I liked it for a while, but then I realize that if I wanted to have any more than 8 tracks running in or out, I would have to pay thousands more dollars. I heard about Reaper here a while ago and...

I have a ton of guitar riffs just sitting on my computer and I don't know what to do with any of them. I feel like some of them could turn in to great songs, but I really don't know where to go with them. How do you go about turning an idea into a finished product? And then how do you add words...

So how exactly does the MIDI control on the Digitech Whammy work? For instance, I think it would be fun to have a keyboard hooked up to it to mess with vocals or something, but do I need a special keyboard or something? Do I need to go through some special set up? Are there limitations to...

This seems like a pretty easy fix, I just can't figure it out. Let's say I'm playing back a mix (or recording something, it doesn't really matter) and the playback goes off screen. How do I get the screen to scroll with the playback line/marker thing? I'm using M-Powered 7.1. Thanks!

I'm sure you guys get this all the time, but I'm looking at near-field monitors and I need a recommendation. I'd like to have a nice pair for under $200 (preferably more like $150) and I was thinking of the Alesis ProLinear 720 (not the DSP version). I couldn't find much information on them...

This is probably kind of a newb question, but what exactly is the difference between active and passive monitors? I mean, obviously, active are powered and passive are not, but does that mean passive have to be powered another way? For instance, if I were to plug them straight into my Delta...

I couldn't really figure out where else to put this, so I guess it's going here... I have a set of Altec Lansing ACS33 computer speakers. They seem pretty nice, but for whatever reason I can't get the sub to work (it's a 2.1 system). I opened up the sub box to do a little investigating, but I...
