    General midi in logic express 8

    Yes, you can import the MIDI file into Logic by clicking File --> Import, then selecting the MIDI file. Logic is more or less automatic with MIDI imports, so your file should create the necessary MIDI tracks and assign the corresponding instruments. I haven't worked with RealFont before, but...

    Connecting Focusrite ISA 220 with pro tools

    You're right on track... the 220 becomes the master unit, and it's S/PDIF out connects to the S/PDIF input on the Sapphire. Since the Sapphire 40 doesn't have a Word Clock connection on BNC plugs, the Word Clock source will need to be set to S/PDIF (I believe there is a software control panel...

    Buying first Electronic Drum Kit

    I think your drummer needs to go to a local shop where they have some kits available to play. I'm a long-time V-Drum user, having owned the original TD-5 and then TD-7 back in the 90's, now on a TD-8k (don't think they make these anymore). I've also played on Alesis and Yamaha kits, but didn't...

    Importing Audio into Pro Tools 6.8

    I'm asking because I've really never tried this before... Was your session set up with the same audio specs (sample rate, .aif/.aiff file type, bit depth) as the source material that you attempted to import? Could a mismatch in file formats have caused the odd behaviour? Also, just out of...

    how much mixing to do before recording vocals

    Is there a reason that you have to do this? Why not bring all of the project tracks? As others have pointed out, if your singer wants something different in the cans, it's going to be nearly impossible. If it's an issue of the other studio having a different DAW, can you at least export the...

    can you use any interface with protools express?

    No. PT Express works exclusively with specific Avid or M-Audio equipment. If you want to use third-party interfaces, you will need to purchase a full copy of PT10. I did see on Avid's Knowledgebase that there is a crossgrade option, which means you can jump up to PT10 at a discount vs buying...

    Help with purchasing Studio Headphones

    I own a pair of Audio Technica ATM's and my singer seems like them very well. Personally, I prefer my Shure SRH 440's. The aforementioned Sennheiser 280's are also very nice.

    Mic and Preamp INPUT IMPEDANCE Matching

    Agreed. You can't screw anything up by adjusting the input impedance... You will notice slight changes in the response (mostly in the high end) as you increase the impedance, but you're not going to hurt anything. Good to experiment here. I typically find my "sweet spot" using the 1:4 rule -...

    Welcome to the forums. 1. For us to help you with the mp3 playback issue, please post what type of computer OS you are using. On a mac, for example, you can simply go to System Preferences and adjust the Audio settings so that system sounds playback through the MBox. There is a similar...

    Recording Problems!!!! Audio Interface? Logic?

    This seems to imply that you are monitoring the signal out of the mixer (not the signal out of logic). If this is the case, you are very likely overdriving the Tascam's inputs and not realizing it. I asked the question about which inputs you were connecting to determine if you were stacking...

    Recording not where it's supposed to be!

    Weird. Aside from plugin-related latency, I've never heard of that before. I assume that you are tracking the bass D/I through the same interface that you used the track the rest of the song? (Different interfaces could have different latency issues) Have you changed any settings in the...

    Recording Problems!!!! Audio Interface? Logic?

    1. The direct out's of the Soundcraft are going into which inputs on the Tascam - the mic pre's or the line inputs? (should be the 6 line inputs - you probably already have it this way, but wanted to check) 2. Do you have Input Monitoring activated in Logic? If so, when you arm the tracks...

    Are all DAWs the same?

    I disagree. Different DAW's process audio in different ways. Pro Tools' summing algorithms are altogether different from Logic, which are different from Sonar, which are different from... etc. The way plugins are processed - Audio Units vs. Real-Time Audio (RTAS) vs. AAX - all different...

    Mic Preamps - Mixers vs. USB Audio Interfaces

    +1. The A/D converters on the UCA202 top out at 16 bit (yikes!). As converters go, these are more of a toy than anything else. I agree that the best bet would like be a combo preamp/USB interface box. Until one gets into a higher class of mixer, it's not likely to see a notable increase in...

    Recording not where it's supposed to be!

    Are you using any plugins during the tracking process (e.g. compressor, eq, etc.)? If so, you will want to go to Preferences --> Audio --> General and ensure that the Plugins are tracking in low-latency mode and that their offset is 5ms or less (see photo). Inserting a plugin during the...

    Which version to purchase..

    Check the DUC to be sure, but since Avid went to native software, the freebie upgrades are no longer. You get a discount, but still have to pay the cross-grade price ($200-300 US) to upgrade beyond PT 9.0.
