    getting things to 'sit right' in the mix without fighting each other

    That all makes sense to me. My complete experience with using multiple mics is limited. So, I cant exactly argue with someone who has more information to offer than I do.

    Over compressing/the loudness war

    Dynamics are a crucial part of a song. I don't care if it's Beethoven, or Black Flag. Over compression or limmiting is just not acceptable to me, and thats as a listener. You can tell when a track has no dynamics in it. The only time it's okay to over compress any thing is if its to achieve a...

    Can I Uninstall Vista and Install XP?

    In all honesty before you decide to get rid of Vista try it out first, and then go from there. If you start having problems then go to XP. But in all honesty if your not exactly having problems yet then there is no reason to go through the whole process of a format/reinstall. As for what...

    Building a new computer myself

    September of '07 I built the rig I am using now. It over all cost me about $900 when all was said an done. Every thing in the box was new except for the Power supply, the 2 HDD"s I already owned, and my PCI E-mu 0404. I ended up with 3Ghz AMD64 athalon x2, 500gb's of HDD space, 4GB of RAM...

    Building a new computer myself

    Builing a computer your self is always cheaper, and the only question any one attempted to answer was on the topic of Mac vs. PC. so for the first round of questions you asked. ABOUT PROCESSORS: 1. What about AMD’s three-cores CPU with L3 cache, expected to run 20% faster than Quads? 2...

    getting things to 'sit right' in the mix without fighting each other

    The quick and dirty rules. 1. Garbage in garbage out. No way around it. If you record crap, it will always sound like crap. YES! You may be able to fudge it enough or process the hell out of it. But its just easier to record it right the first time, and tweak that good recording a little bit...

    Delay Hell

    ASIO drivers are always the way to go as long as the interface can support it. It's just better. Google it and do some reading its a lot of usless info, but it is good to know what is going on in the background some times.

    Sonor 7 PE / Vista / realtek driver prob.

    I have been using Vista Ultimate x64 for over 8 months now, and my only complaint is that the drivers for my E-MU PCI 0404 still suck. But thats what I get for still using a creativelabs product. So, yeah stick with that 1010 it is far better than the realtek.

    Inexpensive Recording Monitors

    I bought a pair of KRK RP-6 CL' a few monnths back. If I remember the only differance between my RP-6's and the standrd ones is that mine have the grey woffers. I am very happy with them. They are very true to the sound. They sound great and arent to badly priced.

    reason, cubase or motif?

    The combo of Cubase (or any other squencing software), and reason is the way to go. Reason has some great patches stock, and then there are plenty for purchase as well as the aformentiond free ones all over the web. The Reason Drumkits 2.0 is absolutely awsome and totally worth the price. The...

    Need Help & Ideas for Upgrading Studio/Computer

    The ony flags i see are these Video: Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Graphic GPU Processor: Intel Pentium dual-core processor E2140 (1MB L2,1.60GHz,800 FSB) The intergrated video card will use system RAM for its video memory. So if you hvae 2GB of ram, then windows will probably alot 256, or...

    Vista Soundcard Problems

    Just do some looking around, check the vendor websites. See who is working their buts off to give their customers Vista support. Creative labs has been really crappy with the "professional" line of product drivers. It's been a while, the E-MU PCI interface drivers still suck, and have a memory...

    how much computer pwr do i need

    Yeah. Pretty much you want to get your hands on as much as you possibly can. But, you could probably do some decent work with 1.66 dual core. Just remember with reason every time you add something new to the rack your chewing up more bandwidth on your processor. So, optimise, optimise, optimise...

    raging guitars hi gain

    One of the harest things for people to figure out on there own when dealing with guitars is that you need far less distortion then you think you do.

    Soundblaster? (oops)

    As far as quallity of the sounblaster goes it's fine, but there are benefits to moving up to a card actually geared for recording. Like getting used to seeing, and dealing with multiple in-puts. A $100 PCI interface is never a bad investment as long as you can afford the $100 and you have...

    Need Help & Ideas for Upgrading Studio/Computer

    I posted this else where on the board a couple days ago but thought it could come in handy here as well. ========== When it comes to content creation (meaning: 3D, 2D, Video, or Audio). Your biggest concerns are RAM, Processor, and Drive space. That goes for any of them. ========== So, a big...

    Best DRUM software plug-ins or stand alone

    EzDrummer, and Reason with the RDK 2.0 (reason for how versatile it is) are hands down the best. I can't say any thing for BFD as I have yet to use it. AS far as latencey is concerned what DAW app are you using, are you mac or PC? If you're PC are you using ASIO drivers, does Your interface HAVE...
