    Direct Guitar Recording

    I didn't read through all the posts on every page so I'm sorry if this is a repost. But, if you like D.I. recording then you should check out using Impulses. There is some really good info on using them at http://www.guitarampmodeling.com

    Vista 64 bit . . . too new ??

    I know it's already been mentioned, but Reaper. http://www.reaper.fm Better than CubaseLE4. At least in my opinion any way. It does what I want it to do, and very effectively at that. You pretty much get all the options of a 500-600 dollar DAW app for MUCH less of a price. I recommend running...

    M-Audio Fast Track Vs. E-MU 1212m

    You might get better performance. Just because the 1212m is PCI, and when using ASIO drivers you should be able to keep your latency pretty low so long as your computer can handle it. I have a PCI 0404, and the highest I ever raise my latency to any more is to 8. If I were you I would always be...

    emu 0404 vs audiophile 2496?

    I have used a PCI 0404 for so long i can't remember exactly how long it's been. But, I think it's been maybe 5, or 6 years. Every problem i have had, has been because I have been using a 64bit OS. When I was running 32bit Xp I never had one single problem. After Vista came out and 64bit OS's...

    recording freq poll

    44.1 because it works all the time, and it works just fine for me since the only time I ever use a mic is for vocals.

    Entry level gear

    USB will only handle 2 channels of audio at a time. So far as i know. I did read some where that is can do more, but it starts having issues because of the limits of USB. I think you may be able to use fireware, but i have no experience with this. For the amount of channels you want I can...

    Do you use a pick to play bass?

    I mainly play guitar, but I bought a bass a while back because I needed to be able to lay down my own bass tracks. I started out using just a pick, one day I just put it down. Some how it just made sense for that song to not use a pick. Now I normally try both styles for any song I record, but...

    May be going to Mac or Vista

    I just thought I would add. You can download the Windows 7 RC, and use it free of charge for a year, I'm not sure however if that is a year from when you install it, or a year from when they released it to the web. From what I have heard/read the retail release date is supposed to be some where...

    Reaper Strategies for non-drummers?

    I feel robbed. When I started with recording I had two options. "Hammerhead Rhythm Station", or Manually moving one shots around in ACID 2. I always ended up doing it the hard way with one shots because I just couldn't get used to Hammerhead. Oh woes me (sigh) the wasted hours of my life I will...

    Upgrade from Acid Pro, to ...?

    I started with ACdi Pro 3 eventually I went from Acid Pro 6 to Sonar, and I'm pretty happy with Sonar. I just recently checked out Acid Pro 7 to see what it was like. I have to say it was an odd experience getting back into Acid I found my self stumbling around, and taking to many steps to do...

    Understanding The Basics, Question

    My advice would be to continue to record, and mix on the computer. But when done, record the final mix down to Tape. Basically run a hybrid set up, and instead of recording to directly to tape, you are just recording the raw takes to the computer. Then at the end dumping the final 2tracks (or...

    Making mixes sound 60s after recording..

    I go for quarters. More mass to rotate, thus slowing down the cd to simulate more bottom end. I'm always careful though with the burns. I like my cd's toasted to add that brown sound.

    Drums Suck

    I used to use Reason Drum kits 2.0 for every thing. Honestly it's where I picked up most of my experience. While I still love RDK2.0 for some stuff, it takes a decent amount of work to make them convincing. Basically all Propellerhead software did was record the different kits for you, and make...

    Sonar 7 / Vista

    I have been using Sonar7 under Vista for some time, the only problem I ever had was an occasional blue screen of death. but, that was because of crappy E-MU drivers.

    using buses to mix

    When it comes to using buses the things to worry about the most is making sure Point "A" leads to point "B". Out side of that you can organize things how ever you deem fit. Some examples are as follows: In one example you could run with the default where every track's output goes to the main...

    Bouncing VST output to an audio track/tracks

    Is there a way to have a number of VSTi's bounce to their own separate audio tracks in bulk. Example: You create a project that has two VSTi's, there respective midi data track, and nothing more. Instead of bouncing each VSTi's output to a new audio track one at a time. Is there a way to select...
