Yeah, headphones are ok for some stuff but mixing isn't one of them. I've got the same problem where I don't have a dedicated treated studio and I have a hell of a time getting a decent mix. I've used phones before and you just don't get a very accurate sound. I always found that headphones tend...
Yes, if your finished mixing you want to export it. Go to export on the file menu. There are lots of option, most of the defaults are ok. I don't have cubase right in front of me so I can't tell you the exact settings but if you make it this far you should be able to figure it out.
Or, Jimmy...
The biggest thing to consider is the audio interface. If your going USB you probably don't have to worry that much on the hardware. If your going firewire you really need to pay attention to the computer hardware your using. That's where the problems come in.
OMG you just used OMG!
Anyway, this is how I understand his question.
It's like a guy saying "I have a 78 Toyota, I heard the new Lexus is going for $90,000. What should I sell my Toyota for?"
So no mater if it's "they","we","me" or "you", what does the price of a lexus have to do with...
This says it all. If you don't expect studio quality, don't expect people to pay studio rates.
What you have now is an expensive hobby (not that there's anything wrong with that).
The velocity would be a keyboard setting. I have no idea about midi editing in SX3 but I wouldn't be suprised if it's not just easier to adjust velocity in cubase.
I think it has to do with what type of card you have. I had a PCI WiFi card and a PCI firewire card. If I had WiFi enabled it would seriously screw with my recording, hogging up some of the pci bus I assume. If youre having issues it's always worth a try.
Are you going into VST connections and setting up the input buses? Just because it says inactive in the device setup window doesn't mean it's not working.
