    simple audio file question

    when recording audio direct into cubase, if I take the audio file, p[rocess it in, sya soundforge, then reimport it (under a different name) it's out of synch. I presume this is because when recording, cubase starts recording slightly before the L marker - is this value of pre-record the same as...

    sb live volume

    yeah I know it's a duff card, I'm saving for a better one! But for the moment, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for mixer settings for the soundblaster Live, i.e. what volume level should I set the mixer at in order to get a "true" output for my stereo? I've noticed the thing...

    fruity loops halion compatability?

    Help, I'm getting really frustrated with this! Using Fruity loops as a VST plugin along with halion. Whenever I turn Halion on, the fruity loops plugin does not play. Is there some kind of incompatability, or are the two of them using up too much resources together? The VST performance isn't...

    curiosity re: latency

    I know even from really just starting out that sound card latency etc is a major bug-bear with computer recording - got mine down to 30ms and it's still noticeable! But I was just wondering, what, from a listener's perspective, is a noticeable latency. I suppose I mean, for example, the latency...

    halion went wrong

    oh my lord what have i done? set up halion to play a set of samples, planned them all out in keyzones, wrote the midi track to control it, everything sounded fine, except, of course, for the 30ms latency i'm getting from by SB live card. So it hought I'd adjust the buffer settings to try and...

    pitch shifting?

    can anyone recommend a vst instrument that can pitch shift samples without reducing their total play length? I know soundforge can do this, but I'd like something more hands on that can be altered in realtime from within cubase. From what I can see, Halion can't do it, just does the regular...

    weird negative-latency thing!

    Cubase 5.0 - i've set up a general midi channel 10 click track to play along to. when recording audio, the resulting recording plays slightly BEFORE the midi click track? what's going on? have I discovered some amazing negative latency device, or have i got some setting or other wrong? is cubase...

    pod box

    Pod boxes: have i got this right? : they plug into the computer, you plug your guitar into the Pod, the pod acts like an amp allowing you to record guitar direct into the PC (cubase or something.) Is this how they work? If so, can you chain FX Pedals between the guitar and the POD like you would...

Anyway, can anybody recommend some (free) websites that can explain mixing basics, psychoacoustics etc, how to mix instruemnts...

    someone shoot my metronome please!!

    I'm presuming you are recording the audio track whilst listening to headphones so the mike doesn't pick up and record the click from the speakers.... if so, then I guess your sound card mixer settings need changing - the metronome click is a midi synth sound, so when you record audio you're...

    evolution mk249c

    Anyone got any good/bad words to say about Evolution midi controllers, specifically the mk249c whichI'm thinking of getting, based on price range and features (esp. the 12 rotary controls which are useful for plugins) ? It's five octaves, which seems reasonable to me (I'm not a keyboard player...
