is it possible to completely reverse a track? what about maybe a "warp" delay? (so my chord progression will still play forward with the rest of the song) if so, how?

i want to make a slight delay in my guitar tracks by off-setting the start time of one of the two tracks. ill pan track1 on left and track2 to the right. what can i do if i want to off-set the two tracks by a fraction of a second?

after getting a drum sound you like, check frequency curves of the mics your using. most of these will tell the response of the mic at a certain distance. look for something that will respond very well to your mid frequencies and mic fairly close. i actually use claps right on my rims and some...

before spending too much money, take your existing heads into the room you plan to record in. try different methods of muting to make those drums sound good in that room. remember not to mute too much though. i do all of the following on my Ludwig 5 peice. for a kick drum i cut about a 4x4 inch...

i have always burnt my .wav's onto CDR's to mix on computers. i find programs much easier and more effective to work with than the 160 i own... i still love it though, just not for mixing. i started off with Tracktion1 while they offered it for free. you can possibly still find it out there for...

Next fall when i move away to school ill be leaving all of my recording gear at home. i was looking into MIDI recordings to keep myself busy on my computer in the dorm. i just wanted to ask some questions that could help me get started... I need a controller or keyboard of some kind, probably...

i wanted to know: whats the easiest way to edit only a PART of a track. for instance, one song ive recorded has drums played with brushes for the first half and sticks for the second. i want these two parts to be EQ'ed and probably normalized differently (there are very noticeable differences...

i once saw a band play live who ran their acoustic drumset through a delay pedal. it sounded awesome. check it out at www.mutemath.com on their live video if interested. another band i listen to recorded a drum track twice and panned one L and the other R. the tracks were pretty different with...

the above post says it pretty well... youll want a good recording before you think of you EQ possibilities. first find out the best way to mic the drumset. the ideal situation is to mic each individual drum if possible. plus overheads never hurt... two work well when panned to opposite sides...

BUSS recording with VF160 can someone explain easily how to buss one source to a different track? (ex input 2 to input 11?) is it possible to record multiple sources to one track? (ex inputs 1 and 2 to track 12?) thank you for the help.

ok, so ive tried to let my confusing manual explain this to me but im still unsure about the function of BUSS recording. does this mean that i can take multiple scource inputs and record to one single track? this could be good but i guess i have to do all of my eq, effect, and level adjustments...

LUDWIG has a great and very very affordable set for about $350. theyre called the ACCENT series i believe. ive been playing and recording mine for over a year and theyre wonderful. the day i got them i had a friend come tune them up for me. he had been playing for atleast 5 years and the first...

Shure has their PG series of drum mics which are fantastic and cost somewhere arround 300(maybe 350). it is worth the extra 50 bucks though. you get three PG56's plus a kick and two overhead/instrument mics. The PG56 is a great mic though. the frequency curves between it and the 57 are about...

thanks a whole lot for the help guys. i too like tracktion for what i use it for. not only is it simple but it gets the job done. to top it all off, i got it for free! thanks again everyone.

im mixing my drum tracks with tracktion and needed to know if there was a way to cut out the dead space between sections of a song. the tracks are saved individually as six different .wav files. the click track from my headphones can be heard through the drum tracks when i am not playing drums...

anyone with past experience with both the VF150 and Sm57 please help me out. im looking to buy a 57 but wanted some opinions on how it works in areas such as: acoutic guitars, guitar amps, snares, and vocals. thank you for helping!

just wondering if anyone is using the SHURE PG81, it comes with a set of drum mics. i wanted to know how the sound is compared to something like an SM57. i use it for overhead, acoustic guitar, and vocal micing.

i friend of mine is sending mp3 files of his guitar tracks to me online. how can i get these onto the VF160 to track drums? i know the loading process with the machine. do i need to convert these files to .wav? or will they work as mp3s?

i may be wrong but i think the VF160 has 20g and the EX has a 40g drive.

sounds great to me. of course the kick is a little weak but thats not too hard to fix. i thought the toms and snare sounded great. i was impressed with the balance of the toms in the mix considering they werent even miced. good job.
