Another thing, sometimes crippled demo versions of plugins will shoot occasional white noise into the signal path as a way to encourage you to buy the full version. Are you using any demo versions of plugins?

I would go further to recommend a cheap usb microphone. Even the cheapest of the cheap would most likely do better for you than going direct into the laptops aux input.

I watched a video where the ME deliberately did his metering/analyzing/etc. with a different computer set to the side so that he would deliberately have to look away to see what was going on. Claimed that it kept him from mastering with eyes only.

Do it over? :p

Mastering while you mix is a very bad idea anyway. They are two separate stages of production and should be treated as such. It's even better to have the luxury of having mixing and mastering performed by different engineers. I do master my own stuff (crude mastering also) but I have to step...

I believe a better software solution would be using Reaper with ASIO4ALL. Both are free downloads. (Reaper will nag you for a few seconds at startup until you register it but it is cheap if you decide to register. Google ASIO4ALL and download the driver and install it. Then chase down Reaper and...

The warranty doesn't cover defects in the user.

Wow...nice post. Do you work for Reaper? lol

No one said Reaper yet? That's odd. Oh yeah...try Reaper.

Did I troll a bit? Of course I did...... ....and it worked. Three cheers for intuition.

damn double post.

I have been here for years, haven't learned anything and have no friends. Being that the rope broke this evening as I tried to hang myself, I will take a minute to say hello.

Or just get a PC and an interface. I don't understand this shunning of computer based DAWs that we occasionally see here. I'm not saying it's the future, because I first have to say it's the PRESENT. :)

I might clarify that though I say mixing on headphones often makes for bad results, having a good pair is still important.

Another vote for Reaper. I don't use it myself but only because I got used to cubase first. Also, another vote for studio monitors and I too have KRK's. They get the job done for sure. Many will agree, mixing on headphones is a bad idea. Start light until you get your feet wet and decide...

A lot has changed in the mass produced PC market since then. I wouldn't piss on many of them today.

This sucks. I want this thread to keep going!

Or you could get a baritone 7 string. Best of both worlds. Zing.

I have a Fender Frontman and the knobs don't go to 11, but I do find it odd they have no zero either.
