Any lost files are lost because it can't find them generally. However if the directory has the listing and the file's not found, I'm not certain.

I would also agree that you should look at how you're playing, how the bass is set up and at the strings. Is your gain so high on the preamp that it limits the dynamic range of your fingers? A sansamp isn't going to level your output. (if anything it'll cut the mids, and bury your sound - I...

I've used Restorer2000 professional (need to buy it) with good luck. It will scan an entire drive (even ones that windows refuses to recognize are present) and let you extract whatever files it can piece together (including deleted ones). You can set the a 'read attempts' number to help speed it...

There was an article in Tape Op a while back about a band, I think The Great Lake Swimmers, who recorded an album in a old grain silo. They might've done other things outdoors, but I can't remember (and I can't find the issue).

Since you say you can't copy it, I would think that the directory entry is corrupt, so a utility like the one suggested above may be able to rebuild the directory entry and make the file accessible. Then, editing the header to reflect the true size of the file may make what audio data there is...

Do you mean the auto-tune effect cranked up to robotic proportions? Try looking at Melodyne - it'll do that.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (with Ricoh chipset) and use an original Firepod with both the wireless and optical drive disabled as above. I have two internal hard drives. Recording is fine, but I've had poorer performance when playing back other projects that play fine on my desktop (Sonar 7). I...

Is there an external device connected via S/PDIF or is there an internal or other sound card that is interfering? My Echo Mia would always have to use my dbx 386's clock if it were on. Something about master/slave clock behavior or settings?

When you say the actual tracks sound better than in the final mix, how are you playing them back, solo'd or mixed? How are you monintoring them when they are sounding better? E.g., are you monitoring the main outs of the console or the interface? If you're monitoring the interface, is it a mix...

Play whatever you want to play - you probably don't boil down your guitar playing to a few rules. Every instrument has it rhythmic and melodic components. Because many bass lines are melodically simpler, their rhythmic component stands out, so you may find that you have reaaly key into the...

When you use the 'bounce to track' option to render a MIDI track as audio, you need to highlight the MIDI track (and leave it unmuted). You do not need to mute the other tracks. Also, the bounce dialogue will give you option of creating a new track, so there's no ned to arm an audio track for...

The problem of maintaining a level consistent level over different patches is very real. I can't think of a keyboardist I've played with who didn't run in to this problem at some point. Many organ patches' volume levels, for example, aren't touch-sensitive, whereas piano patches are. So...

I think that horns don't always need crossovers, whereas a tweeter and a woofer would likely have a crossover. Not positive, though. It looks like the attenuator was connected and cut. Since it also says 8ohms on it, I'm wondering if to maintain a constant load on an amp, the attenuator is...

I agree that you can make the DI work quite well. For some reason I've been under the impression that Elliott Smith's bass was DI a lot - however he did it, I like it alot. Probably a combination of his note choice and sound is what I love about it ultimately. I've had good luck with a dbx 386...

Great resource! Thanks. That just might push me into getting a pedal board.

I absolutely love Thomastik-Infeld Jazz flat wounds (JF324) on my vintag '75 EB-3. They feel great (I usually like high tension, but these feel good despite feeling really low-tension) and give the bass a nice focus. Even the later 70's EB-3's are thumpy and unruly. While slapping isn't a good...

Sounds like you have your answer, but in case you are looking for any other info/another opinion, you might find help here: http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/forum/index.php I posted pics of a unmarked hollowbody Ibanez there and loads of folks chimed in with all kinds of info.

Actually, after I've recorded anything, the audio files are always somewhere after a crash as they are written at the time of recording. I'm using an internal drive, but on an external drive, some crashes could cause a loss of cahced, but not written data. The project file is the only thing I've...

New projects created in the new workspace that's there by default when sonar is opened are stored in the default directory for projects until you specifically save them somewhere. If you create a new project, however, you determine where it's going before you record anything. There may be...

I bought a used Presonus stereo compressor on eBay that turned out to be sold by Sweetwater (they explained that they conceal their identity to avoid angering manufacturers... ). It had a noticable 60-cycle hum, so they took it back to repair, being an authorized Presonus service center. It came...
