You need to insert a VSTi. This would be a good time to read the X1 manual. It explains it in detail.

Assuming there isn't something wrong with one like a blown speaker etc., do you have all the settings on the back the same. Try interchanging the monitors and see if the problem follows the monitor or is it on the same side regardless of which monitor is plugged in. You need to do some...

Well, you got me to thinking - oh look shiny

That's a great answer. I've tried ever demo available. Forced myself to work with Pro tools because that was what the "real studios" use. I liked some things from all DAW's, but also hated things as well. In the end I am a Sonar user. Started with it. Learned how to use it and have no reason to...

You can go PCI or PCIe as mentioned and the E-MU stuff is nice, but I didn't like their software. Also no controller. I'm using an Alesis Mastercontrol and love it. Great interface, lots of inputs plus controller. Has a nice mixer look to it and faders are motorized. It is firewire though...

Welcome to the forum. This is the place to learn, but you will have to do a little homework first. Start with the stickies in the Newbie section. Your questions are kind of like asking for the "meaning of life" in a forum post. Do some research and then ask specific questions as they come up...

Not sure where you get the impression that 57's are good for acoustic? They are dynamic mics and are great in front of a cabinet, but for acoustic, I much prefer condenser mics. A 57 needs the sound source up close and personal, that's why they are great vocal mics. I agree with what everyone...

Just so I understand, you are plugging your guitar into the instrument in, and have the GNX3 as an insert effect?

My mistake, Ok, you got it all wired right. It could be that the signal is too hot. Normally, as you mentioned you insert a passive device such as a hardware compressor, delay etc. I wonder if the GNX3 has a preamp so you are inserting a preamp on a preamp? Do you find the signal much hotter...

You have virtual instruments built into Studio 1. Start with the Presence VST. First, midi is just data. It triggers the internal sounds of a virtual instrument. Sounds like you have that working. Just load up a VST onto a track and away you go. You also don't need to route to the Presonus...

I.m a little confused as to where you would use an insert cable with that equipment. Typically, inserts are used with mixers/interfaces that have an insert jack. Normally, if you wanted to use a piece of outboard gear with a mixer, you would need to take the signal from the mixer to the effect...

I think you are a little confused about phase. mixsit explained it, but here's a poor mans version. When a mic picks up sound, the diaphram vibrates, so think of it moving in or out. With one mic, it doesn't matter. With 2 mics, you can have the same sound while the diaphram of one is moving in...

Bravo! You are very gifted.

You are feeding the builtin soundcard of your computer into an amplifier. Lucky you didn't get smoke instead of crackling. The Tascam replaces your soundcard. I'm a windows guy so not up on the apple methods, but, you need to set the tascam as your soundcard, not feed it line level as built in...

Good question, Amplifiers run best at around 80% of their full. (Just a rule of thumb, high end units perform best at 100%, they are made that way. I suggest you set the monitor volume about 80% of full and then use the UX-1 for actual control.

Partial answer, Simply plug the usb of the keyboard into your computer. In Sonar, you can assiign the controller and now use all the soft synths through Sonar. You are using the keyboard to trigger them. The midi is transmitted through USB. The keyboard has no intermnal sounds, it is only a...

Steenamaroo, I have to respectfully disagree with this, somewhat. You can't add attack with a compressoe. Take a snare crack for example. There is nothing a compressor can do to give more "crack". You can make all the cracks the same if some are louder, you can smooth them if it's too much...

I'm a bit of an old fart but I am part of the greatest generation :) It is such a shame that with the tools available to us home recording guys, the talk always turns to compression and limiters blah, blah, blah! Take the time to track and mix properly and then when you listen to your...

Well, real musicians, original song? Not sure what you are trying to accomplish. If you are trying to sing along, you did well.

That is just a poorly written page. Condenser mic needs phantom power and a preamp. He is probably talking about a preamp with compressor built in. Pretty confusing to a newbie. He should stick to studio work and forget about writing books.
