Soundcard/Interface: M-Audio Fast Track Pro PC: Dell Inspiron 9100, Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz, 1 MB RAM, Windows XP Home SP3 Programs: Sonar PE7, Reason 3.0, Okay so I have been using sonar and reason, usually rewiring reason through sonar as a synth device. I have been tracking and mixing this...

i don't know that there would be either, but i just know i get jacked up after adding only a few simple ones, right now i got 3 instances of boost 11 on 3 different vocal tracks and then 4 instances of chorus on 4 tracks, so there are 2 tracks with one each of chorus and boost 11, etc. i can't...

i'm curious as to which (insert effect vs. send effects) tax the CPU harder, my computer was not made for this shit, it gets tripped up in no time at all with plugins, makes it a pain, cuz i would really like to have more things happening on my tracks

yeah, i also made it a point to have him list his equipment/signal chain people assuming he DOESN:T have a preamp serves just as much of a disservice if that is what you are implying, so what is your point, I am fairly positive he is computer based, therefore he has some sort of interface, what...

no shit huh, i'm going to bet that he's got an audio interface connected to his computer that has built in pres, even the very cheapest devices do now, which is agiain why i said he should be lincluding that info

yeah, i'm only referring to in Sonar, sorry your sentence kind of ran together, i don't follow that last post.

that's another issue, my Inspiron 9100 runs hot as shit, that's why theh fans are so fucking loud, with the money i'd spend on fixing the externalities?? of this problem i'd almost be better off with a new computer, but, fuck vista and i have no cash for a mac, or software

it's not a bad thing, i didn't use it as such, i was just saying that for his situation, Hip Hop vocals, he may want a more clean sound, it was something to consider, for instance if he did go with a preamp also, he may want one with a solid state/tube blend rather than a straight tube amp that...

you state that as fact, with no explanation as to why, you're not helping this guy by just saying, buy this, buy that, buy this, not every application requires the same thing, think about it, getting a SM7, because everyone's doing it is great advice, cuz afterall what he needs for his specific...

so trim would be my "insert gain" sort of, and volume would be my "output gain", so i would want to set my Trim levels before tracking and before mixing, and then once that level is set i can add any insert effects, and my volume will be the level coming out of the inserts?? this would be only...

yep, you are all right, i have a very bad noise problem with regards to my computer, i did some tests by isolating my mic and i'm actually surprised at how well the mic and FTP work, very low noise at a very reasonable tracking level. The VTB1 performs very well also, however, for my purposes...

i would say a NO on the preamp, going by experience the preamp does little in way of sounding BETTER, at least for hip hop vocals, the idea is that you want your track to be as clean as possible, all a pre will do is color the sound. You can get a solid state pre that will do little do color...

can someone explain to me what the difference in the two are, in what situations or applications do you use each

yeah, i feel stupid as my noise problem is almost surely 95% environmental i.e. computer, vents, etc. Aside from that, I still do not hear any difference between the two unless i actually turn up the tube blend on the vtb1, and at that point my vocals sound like shit. So if having it set at...

well i for sure am picking up the noise from my computer, it's a laptop, so it's hard to isolate, i guess i'm just not dealing directly with my problem, also i get really excited "shopping" around for new gear!!, perhaps when i get my environmental situation in order I will look further into...

one main concern is that i am having a difficult time getting my mic levels high enough without introducing noise, it seems that the 4000 would do a better job of that, and yes, the omni and figure8 patterns are useless to me, looked at the V67g and it seems to have the same specs as the V63M...

I just got one of these and have it connected to my Fast Track Pro, i am using an MXL V63M mic, i have to say that i can not get a louder signal to my comp, without adding the same amount of noise, i try to track at around -12 to -18 dBFS, Increasing the gain on the VTB1 or the Fast Track Pro...

what's the diff, they seem to be equal in most specs like sensitivity and S/N ratio, is this just a matter of preference, I have the V63M, it does pretty good, i would like something a little more clear, the highs can get a little muddled it seems, my friend has the 4000, haven't had a chance to...

lots of great explanations, thanks, the metaphors are really helpful
