Is anyone here paying someone like Discmakers or Ricochet discs for their CD duplication/ replication? I am ready to get some copies pressed up to sell locally. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as far as who does the best job and who has the best deals. I'm probably going to...

I had a plug-in that I was using called cakewalk fx2 amp sim lite. i really liked the way it made my guitars sound. I was using it with cubase. I never had cakewalk before. I think it was in my system when i bought it. It was one of those things that you buy from the "I build home recording...

here goes If you're on a tight budget like me, you can buy a Tascam US-122 to start out with. Also, grab a cheap Bellari or Presonus preamp and a $150 condensor mic. Maybe one of those AKG (brand name) mics. You will have spent less than $500 and even less if you can find some of these items...

I'm using a Rode NTK through a Focusrite VMP. I usually have someone else do the mic set-up for me so I don't have to run back and forth, to and from the vocal room while recording. Probably sounds stupid, but he's out of town and I noticed the +48V button on the VMP is switched on. Is this the...

I'm using Cubase SX. I guess the idea of soloing each track and exporting them individually will work but, isn't there a quicker way?

I'm recording a few hip-hop tracks for a local artist in my modest home studio. I'm recording in cubase but I'm not yet comfortable with my mixing skills. The artist is going to take the songs he records here to another studio to be mixed and mastered. The problem is, the other engineer doesn't...

I have been looking at some of the threads and I sometimes see people invite other members to critique their mixes. I haven't examined this forum very thoroughly, but I was wondering if there is a place where those of us who are trying to learn to mix can get some input on their mixes (or their...

yep NYMorningstar gave some really helpful advice. Take it. I also have a couple of pennies to add if you want them. There is an herbal tea called Licorice Root. It comes in either bags or just a box of bulk, grinded up roots. It's so sweet it almost taste bitter. It's 50 times sweeter than...

oh behave I could be wrong but, I think we were supposed to give our opinion on the mix itself. If that's the case, I think it sounds just about as good as most other songs I hear on the radio. If we were supposed to judge the song, I can't really give an opinion. You would probably want to...

I tried to find the most appropriate forum for this post. Forgive me if I failed to do so. I was just wondering if I could get some opions on the issue of reference monitors. I bought a pair of Event TR8s. I think they sound just as honest, if not more that the Roland DS-50s I had before. Just...

yep Totally agree. I am really impressed with the sound of the VMP. Especially considering the price. I tried moving the pop screen back away from the mic last night and it sounds much better now. Yes it does tend to generate a lot of heat. I also have it sepertated from my other gear with 1...

I'm using a Rode NTK for vocals and a Focusrite Voice Master Pro preamp. I had a pro engineer come over and do a mic check for me. He set all the levels on the Focusrite so that I don't have to deal with too many EQ/ compressor/ Expander etc. changes when going from 1 vocalist to the next. I...

well I bought a focusrite VMP. I'm learning how to use it now. i APPRECIATE U GUYS FOR ALL YOUR INPUT. I was impressed by the extensive controls you can have over your sound (optical expander, vintage harmonics, optical compressor, tube sound, voice optimised EQ, de-esser). I just like to...

thanx. Who makes the DMP3?

Pre I bought a Presonus Eureka from guitar center yesterday. It also combines a pre/compressor/eq. It sounds good compared to the bellari I was using before but I don't have anything else to compare it to. This Presonus is literally the second pre I've ever used. I paid over $500 for it and I...

I'm recording rap vocals. I just got a Rode NTK. I believe it doesn't need Phantom Power. In fact, I was told that phantom power on a mic that doesn't need it (such as the NTK) will ruin the mic. Is this true? Also, Could anyone recommend a good 2 channel mic pre for under $500?

well alrighty then On a $400 US budjet, Is there a decent mic pre available with 2 channels. I'll look for one with a good relationship with the Rode NTK

I just got a Rode NTK. The condensor mic I had before needed 48V phantom power to work. I bought a preamp for it. Now that I have the Rode, I'm not sure if it needs a preamp or not. I'm thinking it won't need phantom power because it came with a power supply but, is that power supply also the...

Sonar sonar sonar!!!! Which version of sonar are you guys using? Some guy was talking to me at Guitar Center about Sonar 3. Are the earlier versions of sonar just as good? What features will my programs be lacking if I settle for an older version of sonar?

Who me? How can I tell if my software is "illegal" or not. Better yet, How can YOU tell? Not trying to be a smart-ass. I don't know jack about this stuff. My friend sold me a computer and said He'd throw in all the programs he uses. I just plugged in the PC and it was all there. Is it illegal...
