    Audio Interface help?

    I hate to be a smart ass but.............just wait until the REAL jones begins. Nonetheless, I am a dedicated basement shopper. Save some cash, buy a decent interface, decent mic, decent monitors. You will be happier in the end. Oh, shameless Reaper plug!!!! REAPER. $60.0 US (get the manual...

    Master Is Frustrating me!

    Accept my criticism with grace. The middle is crowded with a bunch of mid heavy emphasis. I have a similar problem but I make things too wide and ultimatley "disconected". Maybe a revisit to the mix stage to create more space. I fall down in the pre-mastering stage by going for too much punch...

    Line 6 POD Studio UX2 or M-Audio Fast Track Pro?

    REAPER!!! I thought it was cool, easy to use until I read and began to apply Reaper Power by Geoffrey Francis; now I think it is AWESOME. Cheap too. Shameless plug for the Reaper folks. Ok for real now. Reaper!!. Oh I forgot to mention the cool forum and helpful folks over there. Here too.

    What happens during vocal processing

    oh my.... there are many posts here about recording vocals, most of them advise proper choice of mic, gain stageing (sp) and performance. You may have fallen into the catch-all "vocal treatment" mind set. I offer the re-cap of so many posts on this topic. Decide what you want to express...

    Have a listen and let me know what you think

    Nice. The AC guitars are bit too wide for my tastes. Maybe pull the dry AC guitars a little more to center and pan reverbs wide. As far the need for D-essing, I kinda liked the essy quality of the female voice. Thanks for a nice dark tune for a groovy dark day. Check out Cowboy Junkies, Trinity...

    Is Reaper Actually Stable?

    I am using Reaper on a pc. Two PC's sort of. One old machine, a Pentium 3 with 512 RAM. I do not use it much as it is slowly dying and flakey but it has older Reaper projects on it and I am trying to remove them. More to your OP Reaper is rock solid stable except when using a few picky...

    Why does my....

    Sorry for the delay. THe Ultralite displays Digital input with no devices attached. I thought it might be crosstalk when I had a USB wireless adapter attached. Nope. It displays digital input when alone.

    Help choosing replacement interface

    Thanks Jim for your reply I was beginning to wonder if there is any love over here as I post most (hehe) on guitars and basses. I really like the motu u-lite feature set and finally got the whole cuemix thing under control but damn the problems with this unit and the poor support and shortage...

Suggestions in similar price range and I/O? Yes, I have bleeding eyes from reading inumerable posts...

    Why does my....

    (Why does my) Motu ultralite Mk3 display nearly 100% digital input when the system is idle? The display that reflects digital input on the left channel do this??? WTF Have I done something incorrectly? This occurs even when no internet connection is active via D-link wireless. I only use the...

    Handy vocal mixing "trick".

    There are a couple (many) different ways to do this in Reaper. Here is how I did it yesterday. (Uses more CPU this way but not a problem here) Copy vocal track and paste to two separate tracks. Apply (insert) Readealy to each track set delay time 7 or so msec on track copy 1 do same on Copy 2...

    Software

    Forgive me oh moderator. Reaper smokes programs 10x its price. (ok a little hyperbole). In truth I own Sonar 8, frequently use Cubase 4 and have medium experience with pro-tools. I have demoed Ableton Live. Reaper just gets it done. My only reservation is the MIDI stuff in Reaper but I believe...
