I grew up with formal music training, including college level music theory. 2 things I can say about it. It can be a source of inspiration, and help you get out of a logjam. On the other hand, at times, it can also be a burden and hindrance, as sometimes I find myself being subconciously limited...

Does clicking on "Monitor" toggle it off? That might be all you need. And thanks for expanding on whatt his processor does. That would explain the complexity :D

Has it always done this or is this a new development? I'd say trace back into the time when things worked and try to remember what has changed. Also, remove any 3rd party plugin you have from the VST folder and start Cubase and see if you still have the problem. Update your soundcard drivers...

There may be. But it's not necessarily meant for projects where you have a gazillion tracks. For example, that preset with a limiter on the "Master" track could be used to setup a "Mastering" project, after your mix is done, where you'd import your mixed down stereo file into an audio track, and...

I can't quite make out what the button next to "Monitor" button is, but I see "Monitor" is what's selected in that image. Many plugins will have a facility where you hear what portion of the audio gets effected and not the effected audio itself. For example on some noise reduction programs, you...

If your computer has a built-in sound card (as most do nowdays), disable it in the BIOS.

Autotune the News for example. :D

Yeah, make sure to bring that cassette track back into the Cubase project, and play it in parallel to the original tracks. That wow and flutter should give you some nice phasey sounding stuff. Cut up, resample, load into a sampler, add some reverb, call it golden, and epitome of sound design :D

What mic? Not concerned about the "budget" part as much as the model itself. Many chinese made mics have an uncomfortable, artificial bump in the 2kHz region which can make things sound "digital"... errr... I mean harsh. Next, check the gain staging. What are your levels going into the Presonus...

What a trainwreck that thread was :D

Check CPU, memory and disk utilization. Increase latency/buffer size.

Time to upgrade your DAW to something more feature rich. I think some of this workflow nightmare comes from the legacy Floops mode of operation (the word "Loops" isn't there by accident you know :)). Life would be much simpler with Cubase or Pro Tools or Logic or Sonar where you can save all the...

I was actually starting to wonder about this, based on your earlier responses. Thanks for the clarification. This is a possibility. Do the instruments sound duller when you listen to them "live" in that room?

Oh, gee Glen thanks. I am hurt! :( :D Meh, I am just yankin' your chain :D This is definitely a good point. Although if he's missing the high freqs in his analyzer in the DAW (presumably? :confused:) then this might not be the case in this instance.

Question. If you put a frequency analyzer on a single track w/o any other treatment on it (EQ, compression or any other processing) does it also lack in high frequencies? Can you do this on every single track and check? What about things like drum overheads especially when you have cymbals and...

Unless you are Noisewreck :D

I'm at work right now so don't have cubase nearby. Two things: First thing, in preferences there is a section where you have an option of arming selected track. Turn it off. However, you will then have to actively press the "R" button in the track to record arm it. Second, in the help menu or...

If you had too much high frequency absorption going on, you'd compensate for it in your mixes, which would translate into brighter mixes, not duller.

I've highlighted the part of your post I am addressing. In general, you're absolutely correct, you want the processor scheduling to be set to Programs on your typical PC. Servers on the other hand are normally the other way around, as most tasks that run on servers are background tasks...

Could also be your monitoring chain. Are your monitors unusually bright that would make your compensate for it in your mix? Do you tend to roll off the highs from a lot of tracks? I've found I've done this when mixing on headphones for example.
