    Preap with ADAT out into Projectmix I/O ADAT Lightpipe?

    It's fine. There's nothing really wrong with it - it's well-made, solid construction, looks nice, motorized faders are always cool. That said - I wish the preamps had both a selectable pad and more usable gain. Some of my condensers with really hot output are problematic, even with the gain...

    Mastering service from Website...

    I think it'd be more useful if the posts were still here (and maybe the user banned or something, if he needed to be) so I could see what happened and what all the commotion was about... What does "clocking errors" mean in this context?

    Silent piano sound in recorded Wav file

    This is what I thought, too. Then he explained he does that and gets a clipping sound, hence me suggesting to learn about compression.

    $20 for a verse

    This thread is fuckin awesome. It's either the funniest fake-anger trolling I've seen in a while, or the funniest real anger I've seen in a while. This cracked me up: Also - isn't this what BabyOJ actually came here looking for? I think we ran him off completely... :(

    Silent piano sound in recorded Wav file

    Read post 4. He explained it wrong in post 1, apparently. A language barrier and some confusion about the difference between MIDI and audio are at play here, but after the second explanation, I'm pretty sure his question is "why is my mix so much quieter than commercial music".

    hardware setup question

    Looking at a picture of that little mixer, it looks like you could run your mic into channel 1 or 2, then send the aux send to one of the delta44's inputs (use the aux knob on the channel to turn it up, and leave the bottom level knob all the way down), then send the delta44 outs to one of the...

    Silent piano sound in recorded Wav file

    Sounds like clipping. Also sounds like it's time for you to learn about compression, my friend :)

    How to get this vocal sound?

    Agreed. That's definitely going on, too. It's really all the normal tricks for making something sound old and somewhat low-quality. Over-compressed, bandpass EQ, slightly distorted.

    Silent piano sound in recorded Wav file

    Have you considered... turning up the volume on the piano track?

    Preap with ADAT out into Projectmix I/O ADAT Lightpipe?

    ok... what the hell. Why is that showing up twice? The image code is only written once... whatever. edit: Figured it out... the attachment system kinda confused me...

    Preap with ADAT out into Projectmix I/O ADAT Lightpipe?

    You route the digital channels exactly the same way as the analog ones. Other than what they're called "Analog 1,2,etc" vs "ADAT 1,2,etc" there's no difference in how the driver presents them to your DAW software. You setup the driver to use internal sync, and choose ADAT as the digital in...

    Silent piano sound in recorded Wav file

    Yes, it's normal. If you record to a midi track, you only have midi data, which is, of course - not audio, and thus completely silent. You have to assign a synth/instrument for the midi to play back through. It sounds like you want to be recording the audio from your keyboard - so you'd need...

    Converting unbalanced instrument input to balanced XLR input

    Instrument inputs are not the same as line-level inputs. If those inputs have at least some gain you can turn up (because mic level is a significantly lower level signal than instrument-level), you might be able to get a usable signal (no phantom power, of course - so only dynamic mics could...

    Quick question regarding MIDI cables, USB, etc

    Need more info - If it doesn't have USB, what kind of connection does the microkorg have, then? A midi port? Do you have a midi port on your interface? Do you even have an interface?

    Inserts V. Sends; Sound Quality Question

    This thread is all over the place. Has it been mentioned that when you use inserts, the order you use them affects the outcome? If you put reverb in slot 1, then delay in slot 2, then your amprack whatever thingy in slot 3, you're going to get very different results than sending the signal to...

    How to get this vocal sound?

    The vocal is distorted a little bit. Maybe that's the unusual aspect the OP is wondering about.

    How to add effects to seperate sounds from ONE instance of a multitimbral synth?

    edit: Never mind. I've been drinking, and that was almost certainly a bad idea.

    How does one master a song with a huge dynamic range?

    I don't know if this is the kind of answer you're looking for - but I think it might be... With songs that have "quiet parts" and "explosive parts", you don't have to rely on volume differences for the dynamic-contrast-effect. Lessening the stereo range, low end, and high end of the soft part...

    How to add effects to seperate sounds from ONE instance of a multitimbral synth?

    With the VSTi API: the number of ins and outs (of both midi and audio) created and used in the host app are entirely determined by the synth programmer. Sooo... if the synth only creates one audio channel in your DAW's mixer (which is totally lame and lazy for a multi-timbral synth), then...

    How much difference does a quality mic really make?

    Come on, dude... That's still bullshit. What is your agenda in promoting that idea to the point of irrelevant, off-topic interjections like this anyway? Struggling studio owner? Frustration with subpar mixes? Both? What's the deal? :confused: On this forum? Whatchoo talkin bout willis...
