My fireport is very temperamental as well, it's very much a finger's crossed operation as it can stop uploading at any time (not sure if it's a software issue or the IDE socket connection as twiddling with the IDE socket sometimes seems to help) I know HD24Tools reads a FST drive, just...

Yep, that's the one I had in my house for a week and took to a band practice. I couldn't believe after spending £1300 I could be so disappointed... to me it was just like playing the SRX-11 expansion on my XV2020. I just play in a melodic rock band, Dire Straits style if you will... I'm not a...

Thanks for the reply, that's the srx-02 expansion, I've got the srx-11 which is meant to be the improved version but it just just doesn't suit my style, personally I think default fantom piano sound is far superior. Wish I wasn't after that great piano patch 'cus all the other sounds in these...

is the expansion for a better piano sound? if so what expansion are you using? what do think of the original fantomX piano (think I use patch 001 in the shop) (sorry for so many questions if you haven't had much sleep!)

I'm also trying to find that piano sound I personally like... I currently have a 10 year old Roland A90 and there's one deep and bright piano sound on there I love, every note effortlessly cuts through the heaviest of rock mixes in recordings or a live gig... but it is starting to sound a little...

woo... two Bristol posts! wassa chances

ermm... i have no musical talent or idea how to create music, least of all time to make things so good, can anyone recommend a plugin for me that will sound cool? thanks in advance -- drunk and deflated, still, new day tomorrow

don't panic ;) lol On all the recording software I've used, you just specify whether you want to record in mono or stereo When I'm recording my stereo electric piano, I have two cables plugged into my soundcard and I select 'Stereo' in my recording software. This produces (as you say) two...

Ah, it's only recording on the left channel :) It looks like the software is expecting a stereo signal, whereas you're only supplying it with a mono signal. That's not a problem with the cables or adaptors, you just need to tell the software you're gonna be feeding it a mono signal, if you...

not quite sure what your problem is, as a microphone is a mono instrument, record it in mono :) if you want a stereo effect, then record a couple of takes, and pan one a bit left and the other a bit right

I know what it's like trying to mix a band before you record! geesh, the frustration (hence the purchase of my HD24) But I was definitely staring at the alesis firewire mixers in my local shop yesterday (froogle link) thinking that would have been a cheap and cheerful way to go (It would also...

Yeah, I agree with ssscientist on just concentrating on getting the drums recorded first. I bought an expensive 24 track recorder to record a 4 piece band live... knowing I would need loads of inputs to record a live band, but the reality is everybody wants to redo their guitar solo/highest...

Good Bah'ing! :) It's no problem if the mixer doesn't have an FX Return, I never use it anyway! Just plug the return into any available channel on the mixer and treat it like any other instrument in the mix.

You can use any effects box with your mixer, for guitars or vocals... anything. It's just a case of getting a 'dry' (un-processed) signal to the FX box and accepting the 'wet' (processed) signal back from the FX box. If you take the example of microphone effects, if you plug a mic straight into...

Just wondering if this is possible with the Firebox without using an external mixer... Can you send to an external effects box and return to the Firebox, recording only the dry vocal but hearing the vocal verb and backing tracks in the headphone mix? Or does the Firebox have built in effects...

I thought it was an excellent post from SouthSIDE Glen. It reminded me of the two types of people, one who buys his first guitar with a helpful book and studies and practices his instrument for years to try and achieve a decent standard, and the other who buys his first guitar along with 50...

Well, what a day of revelations this has been! Just connected my mixer and soundcard using the 1/4" inputs on my soundcard instead of the XLR inputs, and everything in the world makes sense again (now I know what sense means :) ) getting my mixer to average around 0dBVU is making my recording...

Appreciate replies (even if I have hijacked the thread with my personal woes ) I'm using a Aardvark Direct Pro soundcard and a Peavey RQ2316 mixer... connected using XLR leads. There's no gain knob on the soundcard's breakout box, that's all controlled using software. The gain there is set at...

Top quote, you've just made me read loads ;) I've now got a question! Can I ask it here? Oh well, how come a 0dBVU signal from my hardware mixer is picked up on my PC as an overly hot signal? (meter stuck on red at 0dbFS.) I've just read it's natural for a 0dBVU signal to come in at about...
