    Wiring Question

    I don't think it has a shield either... so would the max number of transmittable channels be 3, plus a common ground, for installed? This would leave one pin spare...

    Wiring Question

    Ah that would explain the price! Can you transmit balanced over cat5, if you wire up the right connectors? I know that's probably really bad for the signal, but hypothetically?

    Wiring Question

    Newbie question about wiring... In an XLR balanced cable, I understand that the two core wires carry the signal (in opposite phase?) to cancel out interference induced in the cable (since both would be affected the same way, right?). SO! for the ground/shield part, what kind of electronics...

    Midisport: Can't get working

    I went to the m-audio site to download drivers for the Midisport 1x1, and it says that Vista 64bit (SP1 and 2) don't need drivers, they're class compliant. However, windows can't recognize it without a driver (all it recognizes is a "unknown device", when it should apparently be a "USB Audio...

    A Suitable Notebook For Recording?

    My two cents (AUD):P I went all out and got a high end HP, and it's brilliant! Take a look at the "Recommended" specs on some of the leading recording software companies (note: recommended, not required) before you make a decision. Also, consider the 64-bit versions for windows OS, these have...

    Let me Mix your Music!!! Free (Need Practice)

    I got a "0 items to display" from that site. The two guitar tracks have EXACTLY the same waveform and amplitude all the way through, is it simply a duplicate, or was it really recorded in stereo? Thanks for all this by the way, I think you can see you're helping a lot of people, or at least...

    Let me Mix your Music!!! Free (Need Practice)

    Thanks for the extra thread links, they're great. Just a quick q about the acoustic project - Are the two acoustics supposed to be L and R, or just two different tones? Also, was it recorded to a click, or at some tempo? If so, what tempo, in BPM? Thanks!

    Switching EQ on crashes Sonar

    Don't know about the original guy, but I've got a fairly decent system, and i've tried just running in 30 plugins (all different) and none of them cause problems, even maxed out (some freqanalysis can be quite heavy if you crank up the precision!). It's just the built in eq. Even running eq...

    Mastering... Sort of...

    Haha thanks. I plan to! But for now, for the purposes of learning, I'm new to mastering, and i'd like to pick up some tips....

    Normalizing?

    Sorry to drag this thread up again, but i have the strange desire to open myself up to some fire :) I've got a cd of tracks that someone else recorded, with spaced stereo mics in a large room (sorry again if you've seen my other thread!). Now the average RMS of this changes quite dramatically...

    Switching EQ on crashes Sonar

    Hey, i occasionally have the same problem, but only if you switch on with audio running. Try stopping audio BEFORE you turn it on? That always worked for me. SONAR seems to be fairly temperemental with its errors, sometimes they happen, sometimes not. I also had trouble recovering the computer...

    Mastering... Sort of...

    Hey, one of my friends gave me a CD he recorded of a local big band, on some wide spaced NT-5s and said CAN YOU MAKE THIS SOUND BETTER? He's not a brilliant engineer, and the mic placement and room were pretty bad as well. Now, I know bad in = bad out, but for a purely academic exercise, i...

    Kick Drum sound

    Thanks Yeah, that sounds reasonable. But then they use it lots on live shows for the energy? I suppose they can also afford a lot more dynamic range at a live show, so it's not so important. Any more suggestions on how? i usually use an sm-57 or Rode NT1-a outside, simply because that's what i...

    Mains hum?

    My interface is USB... But i can definitely see how that would happen. Is there any known way around it?

    Mains hum?

    Something that worked for me I record to a laptop, and for years i had trouble when connecting keyboards, amps, or effects pedals like you say, and couldn't track it down to any one cable or device, i swapped everything around, moved everything, tried every power outlet known to man, then one...

    Kick Drum sound

    For any modern jazz or fusion listeners out there, often on live gigs the kick drum has this HUGE fat, punchy sound, that i don't hear very often on records. Is there a reason that it is not generally recorded? And how do I get this sound! For some kind of idea what i'm talking about see...

    Random mutilated audio

    Help me too! I get the same thing when turning off some effects, ie , it all works fine, but then if you uncheck the effect it gets mutilated. This only happens with some plug-ins, and until yesterday, had always happened, but it was suddenly fine yesterday. It's also fine if you use the...

    Phase reversal

    Cool. Thanks for that... i think i'll keep them in phase. So if i wanted to repeat this, i'd just have to play with the mics until i've found the spot that caused the pleasant comb filter?

    Musician's Advocate: What a joke!

    Ridiculous Wow. This is truly ludicrous. But there's people like that everywhere, here in Oz i had a very, very similar experience with a store, and later found out that many, many people also had, but they managed to keep it under wraps on ebay. Guys like this are not as rare as one would...

    Phase reversal

    Today for a bit of fun i miked a grand piano with an NT1-a and a custom SDC (Think NT5 bred with NT3) on the top (nt1a over where the strings cross, the other on the higher trebles) but i also miked from under the soundboard with two nt5s. With these sounds combined, panned hard accordingly, the...
