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

    Maybe you broke everything :confused: :confused: Stop doing that :mad: :D I'm all out of ideas man. I tried to tackle it from the Pro Tools side, which I know, and failed. I can't tackle it from the Vegas side. Why don't you just finish the work in Pro Tools? It supports video :)

    Recording acoustic guitar.

    Try everything. That's your best bet. We don't know exactly how it's going to sound with certain setups, only you'll be able to tell with trial and error. Look up some common acoustic guitar mic setups, such as XY, or spaced pair.

    Noob Question

    USB Midi controllers don't have to be connected directly to the MBox. It could be that you have to set it up within Pro Tools. Go to Setup>Midi>Midi Studio (I think) and add a new device. Select your device from the drop-down menus and you're good to go. Then again, I don't even know if...

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

    Instead of doing a bounce out of Pro Tools, record your mix onto an Audio Track in Pro Tools (via Bussing), and see what your meter reads there. Also, is there any import settings you might be missing on Vegas? As I said, I'm unfamiliar with Vegas, but it could have some kind of Gain Boost or...

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

    The only explanation that I have is that you have pre-fader metering on in Pro Tools, and you're pushing the fader up 5.9 dB, but the meter's showing you -0.5dBFS, whereas Vegas is showing you 5.4dBFS. Either way, there's no such thing as a positive value for that scale, so I agree with you: WTF?

    I don't know Vegas Pro at all, but how can you get "up to 5.4 dBFS"?

    In what situation is a compressor needed

    Of course it's not essential. Some people use them for volume control, some use them for character. You can automate fader movements to keep everything at a balanced level. The only post-recording processing I'd consider essential is EQ, but that depends on the material. Sometimes it's not...

    Windows 7 & Firewire Drive problem.

    I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit at the moment, and it's not picking up my 320gb WD Passport firewire drive. Well, it shows up in "Devices and Printers" and the "Safely Remove Hardware" button in the System Tray, yet not only can I not access the drive from Windows Explorer, but if I even...

    It'd be nice to see that reflected in the price :rolleyes:

    8.0.4 to be last supported on XP/Vista/Leopard

    Avid page: I've tried searching around google, and can't find out why. Anybody know why they're no longer supporting these OS? Are they upgrading to a 64-bit DAW?

    Mac or PC.....WHO GIVES A CRAP....

    Could've been. I'd ask the same question, but my tone would probably reflect that it's just for conversation. Dastrick, what way did he say it?

    Mac or PC.....WHO GIVES A CRAP....

    Why do women buy designer handbags that hold less stuff but cost 20 times more? Mac Book Pros are more of a "stylish" accessory these days than a computer. Apple know this, and that's why they charge so much. People will pay. I don't get Apple. My feelings about Apple, and the mac mob aside, if...

    Mac or PC.....WHO GIVES A CRAP....

    I'm not saying that computer n00bz can't use windows, it's just that they seem to be better suited to Macs. Windows requires more maintenance due to the threat of malicious software and viruses. Macs are rarely affected by them. I won't say that Macs "just work" like most idiot mac users do...

    Mac or PC.....WHO GIVES A CRAP....

    As described in this video, which I found hilarious, when you're running PC, you're controlling it. When you're running a mac, you're simply "sharing the mac experience". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEAGmBRC1dc (Youtube embeds not working anymore?) I'd half (dis)agree. In my class last...

    Using monitors as computer speakers

    That is true. I'm not saying they're bad monitors to mix on (in general), countless number 1's were mixed on those things. I just don't like em.

    Mac or PC.....WHO GIVES A CRAP....

    That made my day. Then how are they windows viruses? Whatever the hell that means, what I'm saying is that having used windows and mac for years, Mac has given me the most trouble. That, coupled with Apples business practices, is the thing that pisses me off. But it doesn't compare to the...

    Using monitors as computer speakers

    It was more of a general announcement ;) If money's an issue and you want great monitors, I'd swear by the KRK RP5's. Jesus I sound like a salesman.
