I like the LE versions for a couple purposes. One, it gives me a feel for the workflow and big picture capabilities of the DAW, without orphan registry changes after a trial demo expires. Two, as a bare bones tracking transport on a mobile PC, or in a tracking only room. I have yet to regret...

Sim/pod/Marshall/Fender/Boss/Vox/Rollie/Rockman/Markley, like I sed, whatever I feel like that day. No big hair. Somewhere tween little hair and no hair. No bong. Sold it w the 412s a thousandcyears ago. I hear sum folks use the 412s for studio monitors, cuz of the superior design. Its cas...

For me, its not about sims, or about stax, its about reproducible tone, not screwing the people in the cheap seats with short throw cabs, and not filling the front half of the room with incomprehensible mud. You younguns keep stackin those 412s, and you have my permission to own the stage...

Blue screen is a page fault. You only have so much RAM. When more is needed, old data is written to a swapfile on the hard drive. This process is known as 'paging'. When there are errors in this process, like trying to write to an address already occupied, a blue screen can result. When it...

I have one on a supporting PC, and ran into problems enough that I placed a shortcut to the driver installation program directly on the desktop. When the PC would lock up or stop outputting audio, CLICK, uninstall the driver, CLICK, reinstall the driver, and eventually, one of the installs...

No. Keep it off. Phantom power hasn't hurt my 58s, and there's a couple Youtubes around of them taking REAL abuse wo effect, but phantom power is something you want to establish some hard habits with. Not only can it cook expensive ribbon mics, but you can take out whole racks of equipment...

Ticket to breaking new ground is trying, and failing. Till you win. Or winning the Powerball, cept thats not a sound strategy most usually. But I'm not sure trial and error is the best way to soak up a hundred years of distilled wisdom either. Look up Mixing Secrets by Mike Senior. Amazon has...

Oops...forgot sumpin... I can croon all day, everday, but if I gotta push it, it takes 48 hours of prep, minimum. Day one is fine tuning the take. Acapella, on record, half speed or slower. Exact pitch and expression. Copious notes on the lyric sheet. Listen, listen, listen. Eyes closed...

Not being there opens near infinite doors, but here's what I hear. Low mids n lows on the normal section. Thins out when you get on it. Hurtin for full mids and you might have a freq spike in there around 3 to 5 k. Proximity effect? Ya backing off the ball to scream? Why? You can OD a 58 but...

I have 3 58s, 2 wired, one wireless and they are dead quiet w max gain (80db). Thats thru an ISA Two and an M-Audio 2626. Noisy when I process on the way in, but its not the mics Keep looking! :-).

I'm dialing in configurations after major studio upgrades, by way of replacing Midi tracks in Aerosmiths Seasons of Wither. Accidently forgot to mute one previous acoustic guitar take when assessing the next, and ended up going back and double tracking all the acoustic guitar tracks. Timing...

Not your first rodeo clearly! Ima hit all four q's but in slightly different order. The Behringers are stage monitors, and I find them bright and harsh straight thru. Good for cutting thru ambient when you need that but as mains, it took some time and dedicated EQ to produce what I'd expect out...

Standard Operating Procedure for noise: 1. Split the audio chain as close to halfway as possible. 2. Assess. Is the noise upstream or downstream from the break? 3. Rinse and repeat at the relevant quarter point in the chain. 4. Isolate the noise source to one piece of gear or cable, by temp...

I like a power rack I can swap amps with if one melts myself, but everyone I ask sez powered monitors are the future...and the present. A/B testing in stores, I gotta admit, powered Yamahas and JBLs both sound sweet. And you save on a crossover too. This may not be you, but there is NO WAY...

FTU works as advertised here. Like the C600 software better, reckon C400's the same. Won't hurt ya to look at a Focusrite.

So dad was a packr...ahhh, collector, and he has a good quantity of vinyl, stored laying flat of course, and several of the old cylinder recordings. I am tasked with findng out what they are worth, since my siblings live in other states. I know I can call or visit record stores to begin the...

Whatcha miking? Thru what else? Standard Operating Procedure for noise (and missing signals). Pick a box in the middle of the chain. Turn the gain up and down. Noise go with it or stay steady state? If the noise goes up and down with the gain change, the source of the noise is upstream from...

Plugs...both effects and synths...mostly. Cake had checklists for feature sets included for X1, E, S and P, same for X2, you'll have to search both, and compare side by side. Take lanes are new.

Recently read of a Sonar bug that does not list MIDI events with a time stamp of zero in the Event View. A workaround was found but I don't remember it. Might be a place to start searching tho. the thread was in an....obvious place.

A second PC running Amplitube standalone is one direction to look. An A/B splitter and any old amp or floorboard can get a clean signal into the software while you hear effects if you have an instrument level input or D/I.I try to record everything possible. Never know when you might want to...
