I use VariAudio, native to Cubase. I use it when it is needed to make the song sound better overall. Never to the degree that it can be heard (go ahead and debate that one, I could give two shits). I also comp together my drum parts, my bass parts and my guitar parts. I record all of my keyboard...

My assumption would be that you recorded to a stereo track but because of how the mic is wired you only got signal on one side of the stereo. Make a mono track in your DAW, copy the audio to that track and I'll bet you get a panable mono signal. It might prompt you to make two mono tracks from...

Get J-Bridge. It works great for 32 bit plugs in a 64 bit environment.

Sorry for my confusing reply, I overlooked that you are looking for an insert path not routing for external effects after the fact.

Your interface should have several analog outputs. Route the effect send you want, on a given channel, to one of the analog outs. Run a cable from the analog out to the in of whatever effect you want. Then run the output of that effect back into your interface via one of the analog ins. That's...

As I understand it, an absorber works "best" at a thickness 1/4 of the length of the wave form. So, thicker is better for reducing low end but spacing a panel out from the wall gives an opportunity for the waveform to return and be absorbed again thereby increasing efficiency from a cost...

As a general rule PYLE Industries makes junk. Hvaing never heard the mics however, apply whatever value to my comment you see fit.

I would try DeOxit if it looks like the switch has an opening. Sometimes they are sealed so the contact cleaner won't work. Just make sure to let it dry completely before power up. And unplug it before you work on it.

Unfortunately I have not had a chance to give that one a ride, though it certainly is not budget at a grand. I do Love my API 525s and my Smart Research C1LA, not really in the budget category either. If the OP is set on hardware I would suggest the classic DBX 160. Great drum squish if you...

I would also go in the box for compression. I really liked vareity of sound's compressors in a 32 bit format for free VST ware. They don't play nice with Cubase x64, although J-Bridge is supposed to fix that. As far as hardware comps, almost anything in the under $500 range should have one knob...

I have used Oktava MK-012's with great success. They have a slightly darker top end that seems to tame strident violin.

Another suggestion is parallel compression along with EQ to shape the sound that you have. Or get a new kick drum? :D Yes, I almost always use NY (parallel) compression on a second drum buss, at least for rock, metal and modern country. I usually use a light compressor on the drum buss and...

Check your buffer settings. Crank the buffer size up to see if that stops it.

Sorry Jay, but anyone with experience will tell you the above. Most people won't waste time trying to help someone do it wrong. Best of luck to you anyway.

The native effects in Cubase are really very good as is the guitar amp sim. Why one would want to rewire into Ableton is beyond me. You could just export the recorded .wav file and import it into Ableton, do whatever mashing you want and export it again and import into Cubase. Or try sending it...

I would suggest Oktava mk-012's with omni capsules or the se4's. The se1's have some of that over bright Chinese sound to them. If you have $700-800 you could get a used pair of AKG 451e or eb's. The Shure SM81's are fine but sound a little pedestrian. I like them for acoustic guitars but not as...

You want a substance that will convert acoustic energy into heat at the frequencies you want controlled (relatively high density rigid fiberglass like Owens Corning 703 or 705). You want it to be at a thickness of at least 1/4 the waveform you want absorbed. Just throwing shit up on the walls is...

I personally could care less what a mic looks like. It must capture sound in a way I find pleasing for the task at hand. The shape of certain microphones does lend itself to special or unique characteristics, for example, the shape of a U87's grille is designed to prevent internal reflections...

I am always amused when someone asks about ProTools. I use Cubase, so I tell them they would get exported waves to import into Protools if they take it elsewhere to mix. I would never give someone the entire PT session file. If you want someone else to mix it they can start from square one. If I...
