so i've got the older version of CEP, it's version 1.2 am i missing out on anything great that is in the newer versions and/or adobe audition? i am pretty happy with how it works, just curious. i don't have the cash to buy new software now anyways. anybody out there that has tried the newer...

Brett, what you want to do is mix down to mono. to do that go to edit, the hover over mix down and you get more options, then you can select a mono mixdown, either all waves in the session or just the ones you have selected. you will have to save the mix down, then import the file on a track...

dry guitar track out of soundcard and into effects unit effects unit out to soundcard input arm a new track and hit record if you want a better answer, we're really gonna need some details about your soundcard and your fx box.

welcome bluetruck. 2 things: 1. Check out the Newbies board, no one will rip your head off there for posting beginner threads. 2. Use the search function, this is most useful. Look to see if someone asked this same question, if not THEN post. Anyways, Got a drum machine? Got a band? Give us...

Thanks John! When you replied to Toonsmith's "Noise Problems" thread and said he should record another dog and reverse the phase, it got me thinking... I have a very limited computer recording setup. I'm still using the original soundcard until I can save up for something decent. Anyways...

do what the talent wants, and save a different mix for yourself! you want to make the guys happy, so just compress the hell out of it. compression won't really raise your overall level so after you compress normalize the track to get the levels nice and loud now they might have a more...

for me the best way to get rid of the hat bleed is to line up the back of the mic with the hats. think of a piece of string going directly from your hats to the snare, i would put the mic on that line aimed at the snare and away from the hats, with the mic as close as you can to the snare. i...

Chris, I gotz ta give ya props on the Coach Z icon. good joorb!

[slight hijack] MISTERQCUE- What happened to the mixer??? i was looking into a behringer mixer until i read the thread.

for me personally, i would only compress while tracking if i had all day to mess around with the settings.

mike- sounds like you are going into this realistically as basically a test run. if you're just using those compressors to limit when the guy does a crazy drum fill or something then that sounds ok to me. just make sure the things aren't lit up for the whole song! you've got a point about the...

just curious, why is clearing your throat bad before a take?

here's what i would do... When it comes to drums, there is really no substitute for stereo overheads. If you've got 4 channels at a time to work with, I'd use two for overheads, one for snare and one for kick you've got 8 channels all together right? I wouldn't bounce any drum tracks unless you...

i think the big thing to consider is what kind of EQ are you talking about. in my opinion, you'll find a parametric EQ whether it's a plugin or an outboard piece of gear to be the most musical. Any EQ that lets you sweep the frequencies will give you better results than an EQ with fixed freqs...

as far as tuning the snare goes... Okay so I'm not a great drum tech but a guy taught me this: You tighten the top head so it's snug and give you a good response when you hit it. You tighten the bottom head to get the tone/note you want. I'm not saying the top head doesn't affect the tone, but...

the best place to get books cheap is half.com they're got modern recording techniques for $4.99 used also try The Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook I know it's a book about sound for concerts, but if you want to know some physics, how mics work, etc. it;s a great book.

are the drums tuned decent? that should be your starting point. If you've only got one mic (been there) you'll probably get your best results putting it right by the drummers head, a little above and to the side kinda. The idea is that you record what the drummers hearing (not literally of...

I agree with sk8ingsnowman. Columbia got me a Bachelor of Arts, and for me, since my parents practically forced college on me, at least I had a chance to major in sound an not something totally boring to me like economics or something Hope I didn't upset any Eco majors out there...

Your gonna love this... I work for Columbia College. I was a student worker for 2 years as an undergrad and was a temp for a little while after graduation, then a position opened up and they hired me full time. funny huh? So I guess Columbia did get me a job, he he he. I didn't pay my tuition...

Here's my 2 cents. I would run the vocals thru a graphic or parametric eq. If its parametric set the gain way up (more than 6 db) and sweep the frequency in between 3k and 7k. When you get the freq. that makes the "s" sound the loudest and harshest, then that's the freq you should use to...
