    Using Compression

    This is what I was getting at when I said a compressor should be seen and not heard. If you can hear the places in your track where compression is needed, without looking at the meters, then it's better to re-record, get it right from the source. Similarly, if you are setting the compressor...

    Just because it is under $100 bucks here doesn't mean it isn't an overpriced piece of crap.

    Is There Such Thing As "Cheating?"

    I think I understand why you say this, and I wish I had thought of it myself. Before there were instruments, we had rocks and sticks and voices. Then someone came along with a drum. The others looked at him and said, "That's cheating." We take it for granted now, but way back when the very first...

    Anyone Using EZ Mix in Reaper?

    I tried the EZ Mix demo, seemed fairly cool. But I'm not sure if it is worth the expense or not. Any opinions on it? Is the quality worth it? Can it replace most of my collection of decent individual fx plugins?

    Help with mixing!

    The simplest rule I can think of to help you mix easier is........get the sound you want from the source, then record it over and over until you get it to play back thru the speakers the way you want to hear it in the final mix. Do not assume you can just record any sound and then change it "in...

    Using Compression

    I have concluded that "the pros" who ever they are whatever that is, use compression a LOT more than they let on. But I would qualify that by suggesting that the need for compression is inversely proportional to the quality of the musician. The better the singer, the less compression you will...

    a photo to show what I deal with in my band

    As long as you don't get any mic bleed on the new PA it should work just fine.

    First attempt at building small PA system. Newbie here.

    Best quick advice, besides what is already stated above, is forget about running live stereo. Even the biggest national name brand acts don't do that (only a few who do) and there is a good reason. Mainly because you want all points in the room to hear the same sound at all times. At home with...

    Ohms questions?

    There is no guarantee of that at all. Your ohm's law has already been corrected. The water in the pipe analogy is good, but incomplete. If the pipe gets smaller (more ohms) and the pressure stays the same (voltage from the output transformer) then eventually the water pressure (voltage) will...

    What do you guys think about the EV RE20 vs. the Heil PR40?

    THAT is a description of a Heil PR40 or PR30. If you compare enough mics side by side, you will find the the EV mics all have a very characteristic "EV sound" and the RE20 has that EV sound in spades. You might like it, until you start comparing it to other mics and to real condensors. I had...

    What exactly is a Sansamp ?

    If you show up to an audition with a Sansamp, you will be Sanswork, and end up Sansgirls.

    Can't open EZ drummer (lite) in Pro Tools

    We try and we try and we try and we try........... We need a system of prerequisites in the DAW world......first you pass the Reaper 101 class, and that's required before you can buy into the PT or the Logic or the Sonar class. If you can't do it in Reaper then you might as well get...

    HELP! No output from subgroups!

    I would test it by using a Direct box backwards, with a 1/4 inch to rca adapter on the other end.

    Logic v protools

    If you ( the OP ) really are a newbie to this kind if stuff, then you have no business messing around in Logic or Pro Tools or Sonar, and we have no business pointing you in that direction. Logic ~~ $300 + Sonar ~~ $400 + Pro Tools ~~ $500 + Reaper = $60 If you really are a newb, then...

    MIDI and Recording

    Well, you can ket a better keyboard, spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to get state of the art keyboard sounds, etc...... Or you can buy a software synth like Sonik Synth II or SampleTank and spend days and days mastering that medium. Try Garritan JABB if you want natural instrument...

    Need help mixing or is it my software/hardware?

    I would bet folding money that the greatest singers we hear in all those famous recordings are not double tracked. I bet Steve Walsh never double tracked any vox on any Kansas albums. If some engineer wanted to double track Barbara Streisand, the engineer would get fired before they would ask...

    MIDI and Recording

    If you can understand the info on pages 9, and 58-59 in your manual, you will learn quite a bit about what midi can do. It looks to me like you can play your keyboard and it will play the internal sounds and at the same time it will send the midi data you are playing out the midi out jack so you...
