    Pssible Cubase defector seeks advice please

    SONAR has no dongle... You have to type in an OEM number to the software... and when downloading upgrades the cakewalk website asks for the OEM number too. I use SONAR 2.2XL and I've crashed it a few times...at the end of laying down a track but for me the save function was still able to work...

    MIDI Sucks!

    I guess I'm just completely lost as to why you would go out of your way to find a progam that doesn't support midi... just don't use it... or learn to use it. Midi isn't a recording format like a .wav it's used to trigger other software and is increadably useful. If I wanted 3 synths/samplers...

    For God's Sake... Why don't my recordings sound as good as U2???

    I've been very happy with my acoustic guitar tone with 2 Rode NT1's ...depending on the guitar I would place one about an inch awat from the sound box below the elbow of the strumming arm and the other a couple of inches away from the other hand. If yo need to EQ an acoustic then pretty much...

    Oh, Lord.... I must be nuts

    ...and you're collecting interns out of the youth group right? If you are the only person running the rig then you are the only person who _knows how_ to run the rig. What happens when you go on vacation or die? I used to record the services for my church (I also play drums in the PW band)...

    asking for a date in the promo pack

    heh I had the same thought as chris I would call a place and get the name of the guy who does the booking. then I would mail our presspack to him ... I'd wait a bit for it to be delivered (week or two)... then I'd call and ask for a opening about 3 or so months away (most places I've worked...

    I give up! (before I even began)

    zekthedeadcow ebay is my friend... don't worry about having the newist technology... Some times you can get out of date pro-broadcast equipment for much less than the consumer stuff. Example... I'm moving into video and I bought an old as dirt (mid 90's) S-VHS dockable camcorder (big, gray...

    Distant guitars

    . as a drummer, the way I record guitars is to record the cab at a very loud setting from a distance of 2 to 3 (or more) feet to prevent proximity effect problems.... this works better on smaller amps... I think a 4x12 is too big to record well on in a home ... I'd use a 1x12 and turn the amp...

    Nervous!

    bring enough cymbals to block your view of the audince! :) nervousness goes ways (usually) with repitition...and the realization that if you speed up or screwup some other way a bit during a performance nobody is probably going to notice... metronome work is the best though... I'm also a big...
