    NOOB Bus question

    I must be retarded cuz Im not getting it. I made an Aux track and set its input to "Bus 1-2" (I routed all the drum tracks to "Bus 1-2" because I assume that's the main bus?) and its output to just master out. Still nothing. When I create a group track It just makes any level/pan adjustments...

    NOOB Bus question

    @Lo-Fi I made an aux track, but just strip silence when I solo it. Is there a specific thing I have to do to get the track to "receive" the bus? Thanks for the help man!

    NOOB Bus question

    I've looked at the other questions about buses, and I get what they are and do, but I'm clearly missing a very important point: When I send a channel to a bus, where does it go? Meaning, where can I then find and alter that channel? right now I have my drum tracks' volumes all really nice in...

    Mackies or Behringers?

    Also, what are your thoughts on the KRK Rokit 5 (generation 2) and the KRK Rokit 6 Limited Edition (any difference to the regular?) - I just saw that these are priced pretty competitively as well. It seems like everybody likes these a lot as well...

    Mackies or Behringers?

    What I seem to keep reading (reviews, forums, etc) is that the Mackies - especially the MR5's which are the ones I would be looking at - are quite boomy on the bass, and more fatiguing on the high end. The Behringer's keep getting the "good despite the fact that they're Behringers" thing. Plus I...

    Mackies or Behringers?

    Hey I know the questions been asked, and I've looked at some of the answers, but I want some last minute advice. Which monitors would be better, the Mackie MR5 or the Behringer Truth B2031A? I've heard both are good, but I also read that Mackie discontinued the MR5's a while back, and now...

    How to properly Use Busses.

    Im gonna harp in on this question, because buses were brought up in a question I asked recently, and I am unfamiliar with them. How are buses setup (i.e. do I make a whole new track and record into that and that is the bus, or do I use existing tracks?) And what counts as the "main bus" and how...

    Panning problem with headphones...

    I'm who tracked the tracks. and I've since (since I started this thread) put about four more tracks up on that session, and two more on another. Same problem every time. Could be as simple as not having monitors? There were no effects on the tracks prior to recording them, although there was...

    Panning problem with headphones...

    I just have the headphones plugged into the "output 1" jack on the back of the fastrak - it doesn't look like there is a specific headphone jack, but I'm most likely wrong about that haha. There is an S/PDIF 1/8 inch jack (both in and out), but I dunno what that is (again - Im a noob, so show...

    Panning problem with headphones...

    Hey, so right now I'm mixing on headphones. I know, I need monitors but I have like 14 dollars to my name, so I gotta make do (and besides, I'm just doing basic mixing to make sure the tracking goes smoothly). Anyway, one thing that's giving me an issue, is when I pan hard right, the track goes...

    Getting a really pure sound...

    Haha, ya that's pretty much what I've been doing - trial and error (mostly error :/) O well, I thought maybe someone would have some good techniques like recording at low volumes, or proximity of the mic to the amp or something. I'll see if I can get a clip up here soon, and maybe somebody can...

    Getting a really pure sound...

    Hey, this is definitely more of an open question for discussion and tips for everyone, but I was wondering the best way to get a really pure sound from my electric guitar. By "pure" sound I mean one with as little fuzz as possible, and generally just sounding like it does in the room to one's...

    Drum Software Question

    Hey, I posted a similar question in the drums and percussion forum a few days ago but nobody answered it. Anyway, I have limited space so I wanted to buy drum sampling software and I was wondering what you all thought was the best value. Obviously money is an issue, so cheaper the better, but i...

    Drummers will hate me for asking this but...

    Hey I was wondering what the best and the most affordable drum sample software is out there? Obviously those are typically two mutually exclusive things, but does anybody know of one that is really good for its value? Btw, I wouldn't be using samples if I could cram an acoustic set in my garage...

    Help with grid lines

    Hey, I am relatively new to pro tools and I can't figure this out. I am editing a drum track and I want to set the vertical grid lines to fall on the 16th note as opposed to 1/4 which is what it shows now. I need it for a reference to fix some off notes, but I still want to edit manually. How...

    Where to get some yorkvilles?

    Hey i have been doing a lot of research on monitors and it seems that Yorkville YSM-1 (actives) are the way to go, but I can't find them anywhere. Anyone know where to get my hands on them? I know the Yorkville website says the nearest dealers, but I think that the two listed for my area are out...
