I know that the amount of EQ applied to any audio track is first - subjective, and second - depends on the quality of the recorded track (mic, mic placement, instrument, player, signal level, etc..) My question is... At what point does EQing take away from the overall sound? I mean, you could...

Just don't be afraid to "put it out there". Project your voice, don't hide behind the instruments. Sing with conviction and passion! I've jammed with many singers who have potential but don't inspire anyone. Your audience should see that you mean what you are saying. They will grow bored of...

First of all, make sure the computer you are using can handle the application. I'm running Windows 7 64bit on a new Sony Vaio w/ i7 processor with 4GB RAM - Cubase 5 and M-Audio Profire 2626. To date, I haven't had a single issue while recording 8 tracks of drums simultaneously or when mixing...

It's not paranoia Suprstar - it's experience. I too have been playing everywhere from backyard parties to thousand seat venues with no problems to speak of for nearly 20yrs. I can tell you what GK engineers told me and that is that alot of newer heads / preamps are more sensitive to voltage...

Buy a VOLTAGE REGULATOR. I have a Furman AR-1215 and would not play live or record without it. This unit doles out an even power supply regardless what else is running on that line. I've had a bass amp and a guitar amp damaged by playing parties over someone's house when the power has gone...

I agree - however, when it comes to analyzing a rendered mix - too much EQ tinkering can give you a false sense of mix quality. If you have to tinker with the EQ in order to make your recording sound good you could just be fooling yourself. My car stereo is a 6-speaker JBL system - I love...

I am running Windows 7 on my Sony Vaio with Cubase 5 64bit and have great results with the M-Audio ProFire 2626. The driver is very stable (downloadable from the M-Audio website) with no noticeable latency. Initially I had problems getting my CPU to recognize the hardware but once I switched...

Judas Priest! Straight forward - easy to learn beats. (Prior to Painkiller of course! ;)

Any inserts/ plugins used during tracking don't get recorded - correct? What if your drummer wants his kit to sound mixed during tracking? By the way WhiteStrat- Jammed your tracks through the PA - the band loves it!

That makes alot of sense! I guess I shouldn't be looking for that polished sound while tracking - instead I should pay more attention to the resonant quality of each drum and experimenting with mic placement - fine tune and polish later.

OK - so... when i read about that "Neve" sound associated with channel strips or the great mic pre's on the more expensive recording consoles - their sound shaping qualities are added post-tracking?

Well, so far my cpu has been able to handle all the inserts though the "cpu performance meter" is noticably higher. I wasn't sure if there was a step along the signal chain I was missing. I have experimented with running my bass guitar through a channel strip (Focusrite ISA) prior to tracking...

So, it's pretty much standard practice to record the drums "dry" initially, then compress and eq each drum during mixing. The analog mixer would be used strictly for mixing after all tracking is finished?

Please help! I've been recording 8 tracks of drums through my M-audio ProFire 2626 using Cubase 5. The problem is, the drums are pretty much lifeless unless I add compression, EQ, and inserts on every track, thus eating up alot of CPU power. I've also tried FX sends to handle some of the...
