Hi, I was checking out loop pedals a couple of months ago, but have since become aware that 'fancier' pieces of equipment (such as some of the various guitar workstations available) also incorporate looping technology. So, I'm wondering if it's worth getting one of these workstations (e.g...

Congratulations. I really like your cover. It really does justice to the song - includes all the 'right' elements that we know and love - at the same time as you putting your own stamp on it. I really like the vocal. How did you do the guitar down an octave? Congrats, once again,

Ducking is basically selective compression. The most obvious, irritating, example is on the news where you'll see a reporter standing in a noisy environment, and the background sound will be diminshed when they're speaking into the microphone. After they finish speaking, the background noise...

Hi, I spent about 45 minutes yesterday comparing a pair of Yorkville YSM1P’s and KRK RP5's. I can only afford monitors in this price range right now. I loved the clarity and separation in the mids of the YSM1P's, but found, that the highs were very harsh (and after about a half hour of...

Coolcat, Is this the set up you use? If so, which subwoofer? Thanks

Great to know :)

Hi SouthSIDE Glen, Many thanks for your reply. I'm actually going to use non self-powered monitors, so I'll need an integrated amp to boost the signal for the speakers, I think. I've been advised elsewhere that, as you said, the main outs are the ones to come out of, via the output/routing tab...

Hi, I want to increase my monitor options for recording beyond the headphones that I've been using for tracking and mixing, I want to output the signals from my Presonus Fires Studio to a set of speakers. I originally thought that I could output to a preamp, but it was pointed out to me in that...

Hi mixsit, Thanks for your reply. The problem/characteristic exists regardless of positioning from the mic. (I had wondered if there was, in effect, some kind of proximity effect going on here when I first noticed this, and did some tests, leading me to the conclusion that I note above)...

I've actually been thinking about this a bit, and have realized that I could quite easily get the sounds I wanted out of my four track, and other things (Yamaha MD 8 Minidisc recorder, for example), but I can't get the sounds I want out of the Firestudio. I think that part of this is because...

Hi, Thanks very much for this. I was wondering if it might have been something to do with better fidelity.

Hi, I recently switched to a DAW, after having recorded with a 4 track analog (Tascam 424 MKII) on and off for the last few years. I'm noticing that I'm getting quite different results using the same mic./recording set up that I used to use with the 4 track, and I was wondering if people...

Chose Presonus Firestudio Hi, Just thought I'd post and say that, for financial reasons and versatility in terms of I/O's, I chose the Presonus Firestudio as my audio interface. Having about a Mac Pro, I've been using the Firestudio with Garage Band, the pared down, but very fun, sequencing...

Hi genesisariana, Thanks very much for your reply. It would be nice if one could export those separate drum tracks, and re-import them so that they remained editable, but I guess that's one of the limits of Garageband. Thanks for your reply, GVDV

Is there any way of doing stereo drums in Garage Band 3 using the software kits in Garage Band? (Panning various parts of the kid across the stereo 'picture'). The only way that I can think of is by duplicating tracks, panning each track to a different position, and deleting the instruments so...

Hi, I've got a weird problem with my recently purchased Presonus Firestudio and am hoping people here can help. Initially, I installed the BETA drivers and was successfully able to record in Garageband. The various record, input and monitor switches in GB were all working properly. At this...

Hi, Thanks for everyone for the replies here. I guess what I've learned from this thread since I originally posted the question, is (1) get to know your set up really well, and (2) if you want to be able to mix in different environments (with different monitors, rooms and so on), it is probably...

TinNedd, Thanks for this, but wouldn't the dishwashing liquid eventually eat at the rubber pinch roller? I know that when I was doing 'old' (non-digital) photography, one way of (cheaply) getting a film to dry after you had processed it was to add a drop of dishwashing liquid to a couple of...

Hi genesisariana, just wanted to check; do you use the firestudio control console at all? In the post above, I was referring to my use without the console - i just choose the input in GB and go from there. If you use the cc, how do you go about, say, using a mic. in the firestudio's mic. 1...

I really like your stuff, your singing, arranging, and ideas. And I don't usually like electronically influenced dance/pop. I tried to download your songs, but you haven't enabled that. I'd gladly pay for them, so why not put a link up (don't know if you can charge via myspace). I have a...
