    Better laptop

    Sorry, kinda off topic: Don't you have that 'east west' or some library VST that came with it's own hard drives?

    What do I need in a new computer?

    Welcome to HR. First off I would wish to ask what your intentions and goals are? The stating of using 'Audacity' leads me to think you may only be doing some audio editing or basic recordings?

    Typical bedroom hobbyist mix

    That doesn't sound any more 'bedroom' than Bon Jovi 'Runaway'. LOL If it worked for Mr. John Francis Bongiovi Jr, then I don't see why its not good enough for you. (y)

    Dig the tune! I'd like to hear some bass lines @ the breakdown at 1:16. :drunk: :-)

    USB Extender over Ethernet vs. Active USB cable

    I don't believe its the noise from his 4 pc's. It's lack of space for them in his room.

    Hello, I am a Noob (Hip Hop Vocals)

    Welcome man! I have done a bunch of hip hop/rap recording here in my studio. You are likely most importantly needing to focus on clear, recorded vocals on top of pre produced beats I assume? If so then below would be my personal suggestions for ya. Just my opinions. There will be many others...

    PC Hard Drive crashed

    I'm not sure how you would not have registered it now that Cubase does not use the dongle. Pretty sure you would have had to register it to make it work in the first place. You sure this isn't a pirated version?

    Compensating for one's normal age-related high-frequency hearing loss...

    I'm 55 and don't really have an issue. I have substantial hearing loss from decades of live performances and just age. I think once you are trained and have experience mixing, your brain just compensates to some degree. If things are recorded properly, you just know you don't need to pull up the...

    Can anyone help me with volume automation options?

    Looks like Audition has 'Clip Gain'. I would start with visually chopping up the vocal and levelling out the obvious before getting into automation. Automation can get messy really fast. And if the levels are really out of whack, a compressor/limiter isn't likely going to work the way you are...

    20-year-old Tannoy Reveals - should I replace them?

    Yeah man, keep em. If similar to my active blue ones, they are very clear in the mids though lacking in low end. But you have a sub for that. I moved to the Adam A7X that I use mostly for mixing, but like Rob stated it did take a while to get used to them. I still go to the Tannoys for...

    Got some great takes, but the levels are too low. Best way to fix?

    Sup guys! Yeah, I can't say I have ever used 'Normalize' ever other than one time I was transferring cassettes to CD for a buddy. Seems like a pain when you can just pull a slider or input a value. Anyway, to each their own. Presonus Studio One is very similar to Cubase. 'Clip Gain' is the...

    what does a license mean when purchase a beat

    Read 4c. In layman's terms that means you don't have to give credits or royalties. You are paying that in advance by purchasing the license. But, then there is karma. If you wish to give credit then you may do so. But not legally required to.

    polyphonic tuning in Melodyne 5 Assist (vs. monoph. Essentials)

    I am curious what DAW you will be using?

    polyphonic tuning in Melodyne 5 Assist (vs. monoph. Essentials)

    Yes, poly is for instruments. It can tune individual notes in a chord. And yes you will always want to pitch correct individual vocal tracks in monophonic mode. Looks like you will soon understand once ya get to using Melodyne. :giggle:

    Parallel compression A/B level matching

    Awesome! Glad you got it to work for you. I bet once you understand what it is you are getting from parallel compression, you wont need to do that again. 8-)

    Monitor Speakers From Phones Socket?

    Ha! I think everyone owns one of those. I use one to run PA system in my control room when live tracking. Another one in my drum room for stick slingers own mix. They do the job well for little $$. (y)
