Hey SN! (c: If I could tune my hi-hats I would! But, alas, I haven't found a way. i'd like to tune my ride too...... Conrad Josepi

Hmmmmmm, Now THAT's interesting. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into how I'd do that with Cakewalk. Thank you, oh scaly one! Conrad Josepi

i guess I could try that, but I dont have too much problem with BOOMING B's and POPPING P's coming from my drumset. (c: Conrad Josepi

Hello, I need some secrets on micing. I am using two radio-shack condenser mics (not the best, but they work) as my drum overheads. I'm routing them thru my mixer to preamp them and give them a low-end cut. My problem is, that I'm getting too much snare in the O'heads. I've tried different...

In the Cakewalk console view, you can monitor your input meters during recording. If the levels get up to 0db, you get the red light, indicating clipping. I did some experiments last night to see what the effect of clipping was on the actual audio track. It appears that even thought the signal...

Hello all! Here's my dilema: I've started tracking my drums for our recording project. I'm using a Layla card as I/O and recording with Cakewalk Pro Audio 8. Everything works great, no problems recording. Upon playing back my tracks that I've recorded, I'd like to see meter levels of my...

Have any of you (especially actual drummers) used the AKG C418 tom mics? I've seen a few really good deals, and I was curious how well they work. As usual, I'm suspicious. It seems to me that a condenser mic 2 inches from a drum head might be a bit much...... Any input is appreciated! Conrad...

All of the Cakewalk DirectX plug-ins should work with Vegas. Theoretically..... Conrad Josepi

The Cakewalk mixer (or console view as it's called) works, but it's a little tricky to mix that way. Peavy makes as controller board that you can use with Cakewalk to move the sliders. Cubase VST will allow you to control the faders and many other functions with just about any MIDI device. The...

I own the Fostex DMT-8 (not the VL) My first suggestion is to read the poorly written manual. The tricky part of simultaneous multitrack redording with it (mine will do 4 tracks) is that it's really easy to accidentally bleed your tracks into one another. The pan pots also funtion as group...

Emeric, Thanx for the explanation. That all makes sense to me. Now I'm thinking that I can probably just invert the wav file, and that will achieve the phase reversal that I asked about. i probably wont mic my snare with two mics, since that's not really the sound I need. It's good to know...

One additional piece of advice: Do you use computers now? Are you familier with PC and Mac enviornments? Have you used many pieces of non-audio/midi software? If you say "yes", go with the computer system. If you can use software efficiently, you'll do fine in the Software world. Just a...

Okay, Often when people talk about recording a snare drum with a mic on top and on the bottom, they mention "reversing the phase" on one of the two mics. Why do you want to do this? Also, how do you achieve this? Can it be done using Digital Audio software such as Cakewalk or Soundforge? I...

While I wait for a response from Event Electronics, I though I'd tap into this buck o' knowledge. My Layla card is causing my computer to randomly reboot while recording or playback. Any ideas? Conrad Josepi

In this rare case, the hardware arrived with the most recent drivers available 4.05 That's usually the first thing I do!! Conrad Josepi

Hey Dragon, i agree with you there There weren't any identified conflicts when I ran those utilities. Event says there may be a driver conflict with US Robotics 56K modems. So I'll yank that puppy when I get home and see what happens. I'll post the results, for everyones reference. Thanks...

My Layla card has 20bit D/A conversion. Cakewalk has the option of recording in either 18 bit or 24 bit. Which one should I use? Any recommendations? Conrad Josepi

I am grateful for your explanation! I almost have it. I'm still confused about one thing. Your specific example (Emeric) says <<: I have 1 mic coming into channels 1 of my mixer. Channel 1 is a kick drum. I plug the 1/4" stereo male into channel one (all the way) and plug the ends of that...

One more question: I am in the process of ordering cables for the connection between my Mackie mixer and the Layla input card. What type of cables should I order? Normal 1/4" cables? It is just being used to transport my preamped mic signals from the Mackie to the Layla. I am assuming that...

You guys/gals ROCK! You've opened up a whole new world of possibilities! My Layla card was just delivered here at work. Now, I have to wait until 5:00...... Conrad Josepi
