    Upgrade...v2.2 to v4 Question (2)

    Hello All... I have to thow in a question here that has been continually confusing me. What is the difference between an "Aux-Bus" and a "Sub-bus"? My understanding is that one would route an entire signal of a track to a sub-bus and only route some of the signal of a track to an aux bus...

    Pre-amps for M-Audio Delta 1010

    Wow, I'd love to get that mixer from Deepwater, but he'd have to be willing to hold on to it for a while. I'm waiting until we finish selling our album, and using some of the profits from that to purchase this new gear.

    Pre-amps for M-Audio Delta 1010

    Is there much of an audible difference between the Behringer Pres and the Mackies? Or between the Audio Buddy and the Behringers? I guess I'm just looking for the best way to get 8 decent sounding preamps without spending an arm and a leg. Has anyone here used the M-Audio Octane? How would it...

    Pre-amps for M-Audio Delta 1010

    Hello All.... It's about that time for a soundcard upgrade, and I think I have decided on the M-Audio Delta 1010. I'm currently using an Audiophile 2496 card from M-Audio alongside an SBLive. The SBLive is noisy as hell, and I need a way to record at least 4 inputs at once. If I were to buy...

    A New Acoustic Song

    Alright...I re-recorded the whole thing this morning...Tell me what you think... http://www.netfade.com/mp3s/i_miss_you_new_version.mp3 There's still no drums, but they will come soon! I also left the older version up as well for comparison... Thanks For All Your Help, Scott

    A New Acoustic Song

    Yeah, I'm not sure what you're hearing...I used CDex to encode the MP3 @ 160kbps...but then again, the L2 was compressing it fairly hard. On the vocal tracks, there is a Waves Renaissance Compressor, and some slight Antares Autotuning...they are also running through an Aux Bus which has some...

    A New Acoustic Song

    Thanks again everyone for your helpfull feedback! I'll take all these into consideration; I wasn't expecting all these positive comments....I think I might re-track everything tomorrow until I get it flawless...there are parts where the guitars get off. There's no compression on the guitars...

    A New Acoustic Song

    Oh....I didn't track them with any effects, but there is a tiny bit of reverb on them. You think i should get rid of it? Or just in the part where it stops? Thanks, Scott

    A New Acoustic Song

    Thanks for your comments! Yeah, I noticed those few spots where the guitars get off a little; I should probably redo the guitars...or at least that part. I might add a drum part to the last 2 refrains. I'm confused as to what you mean about the trailing reverb. How would I go about silencing...

    My girl dumped me before V-day

    Wow...Only 1 mic? How'd you get it to sound so stereo and full? Thanks, Scott

    My girl dumped me before V-day

    Hey Man, Excellent song! To tell you the truth I kinda like the 'mumbled vocals'! I've been working on a lot of acoustic guitar/vocal songs lately and I'm wondering what you used for this song? Mics? Guitar? Placement? Keep up the good work, and hang in there. -Scott

    Drum Track construction

    Highlight your snare track... Go to Process > Audio > Extract Timing (that could be wrong...just look for an option called extract timing) Adjust settings to taste...It will create a MIDI track from the snare waveform (a MIDI note wherever the snare hit if you did it right) Use the DR-008...

    1/4" to RCA conversion for M-audio 2496

    I have a similar setup; I have to go from 1/4" to the RCA inputs on my Delta 2496 and I made the cables that I am currently using for this. The 1/4" end was easy as could be, but the RCA connector was a bit trickier, and didn't turn out as sturdy as I would have liked. I used Mogami cable and...

    SBLive Noise

    I just liked the idea of the built in pre-amps...i guess the price would be similar if i got the 1010 and a few audiobuddys.

    SBLive Noise

    Thanks guys... Sorry if I wasn't clear about the problem. I havn't had a problem in the past with them slowly becoming out of sync. It could very possibly be my ears getting used to higher quality sound. I will try a diver update...if it doesn't work it'll give me a good excuse to buy a new...

    SBLive Noise

    I have a SBLive and an Audiophile 2496. I try to use the audiophile for everything, but when recording drums I have to use the SBLive too. I've noticed that the SBLive has seemed to have gotten noisier. Is this possible? It used to be pretty quiet...but recently it seems as though the noise...

    Dither 24 bit down to 16

    I am running a bunch of tracks in SONAR 2 that are 24 bit and I'm getting dropouts when I start running a lot of plug-ins. How do I dither these 24 bit tracks down to 16 bits? Does SONAR have some built in function to do this? Thanks, Scott

    SM57 vs SP-B1

    Thanks for your replys! That's what I thought I would hear...I hope they will really improve my drum sound. And Chris, I do have phantom power already. Thanks again for your help! -Scott
