    Using headphone for mixing

    It's a bit less of a guess. Once you EQ your headphones to a reference track, so that the ref track sounds how you think it should, then you should know how your mix should sound. It should feel more natural in the process. This would be opposed to mixing away and having to keep trying to...

    Noted ;) Does ANYONE know how to use this DD/DDRESCUE/DD_RESCUE stuff?? I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers, but jesus christ. Every "how-to" website is full of fucking gibberish.

    URGENT Hard Drive Problem! HELP!

    I'm using the software that TetraFish mentioned at the moment to make an image of the drive on another drive. Hopefully this works. If it doesn't, I'll look into what you're recommending. As for the OS thing, we have a kind of chassis type thing in this computer. Me and my dad are the only ones...

    URGENT Hard Drive Problem! HELP!

    Ok, that software got to the bad sector. I told it to ignore it, and it wouldn't. Click, click, click, click click. WTF is the point on data recovery software if it does fuck all?

    URGENT Hard Drive Problem! HELP!

    Not really, freezing your drive is highly recommended in situations like mine. I'd know, I have TERRIBLE luck with hard drives.

    URGENT Hard Drive Problem! HELP!

    Actually Armi, there's feck all on my OS partition, just software that I can easily replace. It's the data partition I'm worried about. I just put my drive in the freezer for about 25 minutes, and I'm running ParetoLogic Data Recovery on it. I have a horrible feeling it'll scan the drive, and...

    Using headphone for mixing

    EQ your master output using a reference track until it sounds how you think it should sound. Mix, and then turn the EQ off before bouncing. That's what I do. Pain in the arse but it's better than guessing.

    Help.

    That's a little strange but I'll accept it Armi :D Actually, I'm kinda freaking out. See my "Urgent Hard Drive problem" thread in the Digital comps forum :(

    Help.

    Get a program called "Ava Find". It's an instant search program for your computer. It builds/refreshes a search cache every so often of every single file on your computer (even the hidden ones), and it's DEAD handy for finding files. So, get it, install it, search for the exact name of your...

    URGENT Hard Drive Problem! HELP!

    Sorry, I don't normally do the "HELP MEEE!!!" titles but this is kind of urgent. I need to get this sorted ASAP. My internal hard drive is clicking, it's fucked. I'm trying to save what I can of it by copying it over to a separate drive. The thing is, when I go to copy, there are some files on...

    Using headphone for mixing

    I mix in an untreated room with my KRK RP5s, and I'm still able to do a pretty good job. However, there are some frequencies that just completely take off in my room (low end mainly), so I slap on a pair of headphones to make sure that it's the room that's exaggerating certain frequencies and...

    Just a test

    Just listened on my RP5s, sounds pretty good. The drums need to be louder and more balanced. What amp are you using?

    Sampling & Synthesis

    KC's right, I'm using Ableton. I'm also messing around in Reason 4. My question, I guess, is more aimed at synthesis than sampling. I know from experience that when it comes to audio, there's rarely formulae, but if you have an idea in mind for let's say, a dirty bass sound, or an icy crunchy...

    Sampling & Synthesis

    I'm getting into doing a lot more electronic music these days, using a lot of synths and stuff. I want to start making my own sounds, as opposed to the presets however. From scratch even. I know the basics such as ADSR, cutoff etc., but is there anywhere I can learn about making patches from...

    Audio peaks at -.5 dBFS in Pro Tools but clips at up to 5.4 dBFS in Sony Vegas Pro?!

    If you're panning them hard left and right in Vegas, then they shouldn't be clipping on the master buss. You seem to have diagnosed the problem, I'm still not getting it? :confused:

    Audio peaks at -.5 dBFS in Pro Tools but clips at up to 5.4 dBFS in Sony Vegas Pro?!

    Agreed, when you print, you get two separate files in your "Audio Files" folder, but then you'd usually export the region to get one stereo file. Did you not "export" the region from the new stereo track in Pro Tools? It gives you similar options/settings to "Bounce to Disk", one of them being...

    Audio peaks at -.5 dBFS in Pro Tools but clips at up to 5.4 dBFS in Sony Vegas Pro?!

    A single stereo file is still two mono files. The wrapping is just different. Was your audio in Vegas mono or stereo? I'm starting to think you selected "Mono (summed)" in your export settings in Pro Tools, and selected "Stereo Interleaved" in your bounce, which made the difference. If you sum...
