    Why can I write a great first verse....

    I've had this problem too. I learned when I had a brainstorm for lyrics, not to force them. If I start a song with some great lyrics and reach a dead end, I'll put them aside for a while until something clicks that adds life to the theme of the piece. Regards, PAPicker

    Antares mic modeler

    Look in the "Microphones" forum. There are a couple of threads on the subject already. I have tried the DEMO . . . 10 day trial from Antares Web site. It didn't improve the quality, but I liked it anyway bkz it adds a variety of sonic options when recording vocals and acoustic instruments . ...

    Anyone hear the digital overs?

    I've listened to this cut like 6 times today. I like it a lot, clean as hell mix, but something bugs me with the vocals. The vocals aren't bad or anything and maybe it's just me, but it's like the two vocals are competing with each other throughout the entire song. Maybe if the vocals were...

    HELP! Why dont my live parts blend with the synth?

    Sounds like an ambience mis-match to me ... that and equalization. Always a problem when mixing MIDI with Digital audio. If you can't tweek the MIDI using Synth effects, mix it to digital audio tracks and then mixdown. Just a suggestion. Regards, PAPicker

    drstawl please suggest this

    Don't know about the Gina, but, before I got the Gadget824, I set my TB Pinnacle, also 20bit, to 24bit in cakewalk. It accepted it and allowed use of 20bit instead of 16bit. It made a big difference in quality. Before I got PA9, I was limited to 16bit with software. Try it ! I think you'll be...

    Another MXL 2001 & 2003 Review

    Just posted my own comparison of the MXL2003 to the AT4033 based on weekend testing. I still say the MXL2003 is better than two large condensers I tried and sold . . . the AT3525 and the CADE100 . . . but, that's only my opinion. I've never tried the MXL2001, but it's probabably better than the...

    AT4033 vs. MXL2003 (an unprofessional comparison )

    OK, this my opinion of a side by side test of these two mics and , no, I'm not posting MP3 files. I really performed the test only because I wanted to see if the MXL 2003 was Ebay bait after I purchased the AT4033. This is my opinion only . . . made with my ( and my wife's ) ears as a judge...

    Please Help Us little ppl

    First off, louder isn't always better. You need to leave yourself some mixing headroom. You can always bring up the total mix level during the final mixdown with compression or, GOD forbid . . normalization, which I still use if my levels are consistent. If you are getting terribly low volumes...

    Gadgetlabs 424 and itz lack of midi

    It's got a MIDI port connection . . meaning it can send and receive MIDI . . but, it has no SYNTH . . It can't play MIDI unless you have an external SYNTH connected. Example : I have the Gadget 824 and use it's MIDI port to control my POD. For playing MIDI Synth, I have a TB Pinnacle with a...

    question

    OK, first go to Options/MIDI devices and make sure your soundcards SYNTH are highlited. The synth will receive MIDI data from your keyboard. Next while in the track Pane view, click on the source for the tracks and verify that the port selected for the MIDI track is also set to SYNTH. Hope this...

    question

    Benvarine: You need to go your track's midi options and change the port. You are sending MIDI data out the computer's external port to your keyboard . . . that's all. Change the port to your internal MIDI synth instead of external. Regards, PAPicker

    Playback of Audio CDs

    Question is . . is it your burning technique or you home CD player that's the problem ? I have a 1994 AIWA CD player at work that will not play a burned CDR. Check your home made CDs in newer players before deciding they're coasters. Regards, PAPicker

    Two Cards at same time?

    Shouldn't be a problem, assuming you have the extra PCI slot. I have Gadget Labs 824 for digital audio and use a TB Pinnacle for synth . As long as your software allows mutliple cards it should work fine. Regards, PAPicker
