Guys I understand what your saying, (I've been reading a lot about panning to try and figure this out) but I still feel like there is something else taking place in these recordings that produce the effect I'm describing. It's pretty hard to find examples because not a lot of songs have...

Hi guys, I have a question about stereo imaging or the stereo spread. When mixing I often pan some things hard left or hard right, its just the way I like it sometimes. Anyway it seems to me that when I pan something hard left or hard right it goes too far left or right. What I am after is...

Well it seems to be working beautifully (and without too much cpu overhead) with what I have right now which is at about 5ms input latency and 6ms out. I think it might've just been the sample rate as stated before. What do you guys usually set your latency at? What do you guys think about...

HI guys, it worked perfectly in 44.1kz although for some reason I do think that was the default I was using last night as well. So I guess that might have been the problem or otherwise it got fixed by itself. As far as spyware goes, my pc is 100% spyware free, I have about 6 or 7 cleaners...

I believe 96, not at home right now so i'm not 100% cause I only ran a short test last night and dont know what I had it at when i opened cubase. Do you think 96 might be too much for my system to handle? edit: I do know the 1616m was running at 96 but not sure about cubase. thanks

Hi guys, I'm having a big problem with cubase SX3. I'm using an EMU1616m soundcard to record. My pc is a intel centrino 2.0ghz with 1gb of RAM. Running windows XP sp3. (just updated to sp3 about a week ago) The problem I'm having is a variation of the classic clicks and...

Dude just figure out what sounds good. Dont even start thinking in terms of rock, or modern "standards", thats exactly why every freaking record sounds the same these days. Even today I hear a lot of recordings with the drums all in a mono track, sometimes panned center sometimes to the side...

hahaha yeah dont know why I didnt think of the time = money thing, I guess I was thinking that the faster and better you can record a band, the more bands you can record. Thanks about the gate info it actually makes a lot of sense not to gate the OHs because of the ridiculous amounts of bleed...

thanks man but I already purchased an old peavey mixer on ebay for about 50 bucks, 6 preamps with inserts as well. Its an old RQ200, dont know how well itll do but I guess ill find out soon. Anyway thanks for the offer man. Have a good one. EDIT: Still looking for a Behringer ADA8000 if...

Dude, thanks for the info. I have actually been looking all over ebay for either a small mixer, grouped preamps or 4 separate preamps. What I found is pretty much as you stated. The cheapest 8-channel preamp I found is the Nady PRA-8 but I've only heard bad things about it so I dont think Ill...

That actually sounds pretty good. Just to clarify as I'm not to familiar with hardware mixers as of yet (I do everything in box), but I was under the impression that inserts were for inserting external effects boxes. What your saying is I can go from the insert out (which would regularly go...

Hi guys, I was watching a muse live dvd just now and i noticed that the mics for the cymbals were positioned below the cymbals pointing upward at thhe outer edge f the cymbal instead of "overhead". Do any of you guys do this? What is the reason for it? What are the pros and cons? Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a Behringer ADA800 adat interface. I'm actually looking for any 8 channel adat interface but figured the behringer is the least expensive so there you go. Looking to spend under 140.00 on that. Also looking for preamps, individual, or dual, or more for that matter...

Use a pitchshifter to get your vocal up an octave. the track will sound tretty awful with a lot of the transients lost but what i do is put it through a LONG and very WET reverb, BUT, mute the track so I can only hear reverb. MIx the reverb very carefully into your mix (since it is long it...

^ What he said. + Expensive mixers can have REALLY good preamps, so essentially youre getting a mixer with A LOT of flexibility (many channels, inserts, subgroups, aux sends, effects sends, etc, etc...) with all the preamps youll ever need included. Plus their EQs, compressors, gates...

I second tapeOp. First off, its free! And honestly I've picked up most recording magazines now and again, and while they can be informative, they just dont interest me at all, I get bored with their articles in about 2 seconds. TapeOP is a whole different story, I get the feeling that this was...

.... (no words) ps: 51 tracks of strings!!:eek:

Hey mike thanks for the info. Actually I love snare rattle in Hendrix records, Everytime I hear it it reminds me of all the people in the room and it just sounds nice to my ears. I also enjoy some tape hiss (I dont know im weird like that, hehe), but im recording digital and recreating it...

Alright guys thanks for all the info. Jim, dont worry about the misunderstading man, its all good. I think I will actually try the mattresses thing, cause I think i have 2 light ones in my house not currently in use. Just have to see if they fit without making the room too tight for us...

Thanks for the info! I am very much concerned with the room. Truth is it is probably not great-sounding, but there nowhere else we can jam and moneys running pretty tight so expensive treatment is out of the question. We do have carpeting and have hung all sorts of sheets, pillows,etc...off the...
