    importing mixdowns back into CEP for finetuning

    Thanks, lpdeluxe. Just out of interest, is there a way of loading the mixdown file direct from the HD instead of selecting it from the CD?

    importing mixdowns back into CEP for finetuning

    This is no doubt another very basic question, so apologies for boring the bejaisus out of you again. OK. You've done a mixdown that you've saved and like, but burning to CD and listening again, you realise there needs to be just a bit of adjustment (the case to which I am referring is a...

    CD burning programs that keep session open

    OK, I've been told this is a very dumb question - please ignore! I've since found out that any CD burning program must close the first session before a hifi CD player can read the CD, so I'm seeking the impossible.

    CD burning programs that keep session open

    Does anyone know of a CD burning program that allows you to record a music track from a file on your HD and listen to it on a usual hifi CD player setup, yet keeps the session open so you can later record other tracks to the same CD? (CD-RWs are not an option, because my hifi CD player won't...

    How to get in-yer-face presence for distorted guitar

    I've been adding bass parts in CEP to multi-track analogue recordings done a decade ago, and have been getting good, gutsy end-product remasters on CD. Problem is, I have recently recorded 2 songs from scratch in CEP, with the same wall-of-sound distorted guitar, basic root-chord-hugging bass...

    how important is soundcard quality? NR settings default

    Interesting, Treymonfauntre. What about de-hissing for cassestte tape recordings, or do you shy away from anything like that?

    how important is soundcard quality? NR settings default

    No response, so I'll cut all the boring detail and get to the guts. 1. How important is soundcard quality in the final CD sound quality? 2. Can someone give me the default NR settings for CEP, please. Cheers

    how important is soundcard quality? NR settings default

    One of my projects at the moment is transferring to CD some old, very poor quality tapes of some 77/78 bands rehearsing their original songs under extremely primitive recording conditions (ie: a single, cheap mike for a whole band, connected to a portable cassette player!). Of course, the...

    re-naming tracks + clicks with Silence in Edit

    Thanks a lot, lpdeluxe and thajeremy. Have printed out your posts and will use them as reference and try out your suggestions. Cheers

    re-naming tracks + clicks with Silence in Edit

    thajeremy Yeah, thanks for that. Your way is certainly neater - and probably easier- than what I've been doing. It gets confusing having so many tracks comprising only small sections of corrections, silencing out the flawed parts of the original, and bouncing the lot down to a single track...

    re-naming tracks + clicks with Silence in Edit

    Thought I had just about exhausted my basic questions, but here's another couple. 1. If you make a mistake naming a track in Multiview or want to rename a track/tracks for some reason, can you do it? No doubt a simple matter, but I can't work it out. 2. I am finding that when in Edit and...

    What determines volume level on CD??

    Change of POETS, Actually, I've been recording on 4track analogue for a lot of years! You're right about my lack of savvy with HD recording, though. And my analogue recording was, it has to be said, simple and unsophisticated. I was always able to get a nice mix, added a touch of reverb here...

    What determines volume level on CD??

    Thx, Change of POETS. Will try that. Just a general query about what you've said - what's the basic difference between hard limiting and any other sort of compression? Why do you advise on using hard limiting specifically for the sort of music I'm mastering?

    What determines volume level on CD??

    ukejammin, I'm in CEP, but thanks for that info. Will bear it in mind. treymonfauntre, Re your comment: "you can make something thats not clipping louder, but once you've clipped you're never going back" - so, how do I make the original recording louder yet keep the bass I've recently added...

    What determines volume level on CD??

    I'm compiling a CD of old 77/78 punk songs I re-recorded over a decade ago, then using a Tascam 4track. Most of them didn't have bass recorded, so I've added bass now using Cool Edit Pro, and am currently in the process of mixing down and burning to CD. I can't figure out WHY I get some songs...

    compression basics

    Currently, I'm transferring to digital format some of my old punk rock analogue recordings that are typical of the genre: Ramones' style wall-of-sound distorted guitar, simple thobbing bass, drums, vocal...all up loud. (That's as technical as I get - sorry!). Some of the analogue recordings...
