    Stereo track question.

    Thanks for the response. WHen performing a mixdown do I need 2 open tracks? I think I mixed down (Creat file in the master section) and it created a steroe file called 'mixdown' and need a place to put it. There were no available tracks so it put the file on 1 and 2 for playback. Remember my...

    Finalizing the mix

    Oh, I have no doubt that most of us here suck at recording. Thats why we ask questions. I Also believe that a pro could use 1/2 of my studio to make a quality album and I would just get lost over in thier 24 track pro studio. I bet a pro could use my sm57 and get a finished vocal better than I...

    Multi band compression

    A term I have heard in the topic of Mastering is 'multi band compression', and by my meager understanding, this means to add compression only to certain bands or "frequencies". Now, I know every mix is different, but, are there certain "frequencies" that would usually be compressed in mastering...

    need advice regarding studio effects proccessor (sp?)...

    The digitech s200 is a good buy for the price. I believe this. It cant be compared to some high end gear since it is not. Its great for a little home studio since it can do a lot including a compressor and Vocoder. Strictly for guitars, I think you can find a better unit but for a little studio...

    SM57

    sm58 is probably the most common live vocal mic in use. I have been gigging around LA for 10 years and Ive seen many a stage where there are 3 sm58's on the front line. I also know a pro with platinum records on the wall wh said he always loved to use the sm57 live since it added fullness and...

    Stereo track question.

    From the Master fader section I created File (WAVE) and Went to wavelab to start mastering. But My paino (TRACK 1) was gone. So I went back to cubase and track 1 and 2 were now 'ganged' together (Blue faders like in the groups) and I dont know how to un-gang them so they are 2 mono and not 1...

    roland d 110

    I am Looking for sounds on disk/rom. Mainly I really want drum sounds. Its kinda cool having the 6 outs and saves me from having to buy a drum machine with seperate outs. Have you seen the demo songs? Hold enter while pressing edit. There are songs there (8 I think). What did u pay? I paid...

    cubase/24 and hard disk

    Dont worry about it bro. I dont think you will have too many problems besides the fact that you dont have much ram or hd space. I believe the whole point of having a 2nd HD for recording only is to keep the wear and tear down on the recording drive so you will have less problems, etc. DEFRAG...

    The 3 E's(Easily,Economically and Effectively)

    With 8 ins you may as well have an out for each in, plus a stereo pair for monitoring. Once in the computer, YES!, stay in the computer (as far as I am concerned) But with 2 of these Layla's and a 16 channel mixer, some people would like to mix on the real versus computer console. Its kinda like...

    Censorship rears its ugly head...

    Can I say Hail S8N? Seriously though, I am In dragons house and when in ANYONES house I show respect. I must agree that woman bashing has nothing to do with recording but....I think somehow musicians are related to porn...And you gotta admit, some of those girls look pretty good... If i were to...

    Finalizing the mix

    Mastering. Dragon has a killer link somewhere aroud here that will tell you a lot! Can you successfully master your own music? Well, I would bet that if you engineered/played/wrote it you can probably master it. My point is this. You could NOT master a metallica record since your mastering...

    Define 3 words for me pleeeeeeze...

    This question has been posted elsewhere to no avail. 1. Sound Drivers 2. Mixer Maps 3. Drum Maps I Guess all 3 words are computer soundcard software related and dont know but maybe mixermaps/drum maps are steinberg cubase related, I dunno! Definitions please??

    is this PC worth a bag of beans?

    Onboard sound is not really good since you need a quality soundcard anyway. But it can probably be disabled. A 433 is cool... 64 meg can work.. Depending on how many tracks you want to record at one time (limited also by your soundcard-in's) you may need a souped up hard drive. Scsi is supposed...

    Patches from cd into my synth?

    I read at Kid nepro that they sell cd's with patches to load into the midi port of my synth from my computer? Wow.... I have a roland D 110 synth and a Layla with Midi out. Do you think I can do this? has anyone here done the same thing with success? Do the patches have to be compatible with my...

    Demo the Pod from Line 6. 300$.. More than you want to spend but umm.... Itllmake your amp sound like metallica. I Guarantee it.

    Midi and Layla

    umm.. did i mention I am stupid? I think I already solved the last prob about midi playback. Actually laid some keys midi over some audio last night... I think I'm in the club now. Cool. To add my drum machine do I just add it to the loop? In, out, etc.. Just like a tv/vcr/cable box? But My dr...
