    Triggering from pre-recorded audio?

    something cheaper.. but probably infinitely more complicated... Would depend on the number of tracks you used for drums. But in a nutshell, create a MIDI track, and manually create the notes and line them up with the waveforms on the drum tracks. Then use a sampler program to select the...

    It sounds like I'm singing through a telephone.

    +1 for room treatment. How big is the room? I've recently discovered that my crappy little room was probably the cause for the past couple years of my voice souding warbly (out of phase), thin, weak, sibbilant, and all other kinds of bad things. I've put up a lot of DIY broadband absorbers...

    Five songs...need mixing critique (previous thread got hosed)

    Why don't you narrow it down.. and maybe post one song at a time? You might get more people offering comments/thoughts on your mix. Kind of hard to ask people to take half an hour or more to listen to songs, then write down thoughts/suggestions on them.

    taking reaper songs from program to myspace

    yowsers. The *wav* file that it saved.. .didn't save it with those images. Media player just makes those up on the fly for any song. Pay attention when you make the wave to where the program puts it, then go look for the wav file. For the lame encoder.. i just googled 'lame_enc.dll'... go...

    Need to rip and burn

    Hmmm... a 7 year old computer, and Music Match won't burn CD's anymore, and the other software programs create faulty discs... sounds like it's probably your CD burner that is fried. You can buy new CD / DVD burners these days from 20$ or so.

    best program for my recording needs

    You can do this with cubase LE. You can in increase it, decrease it, slow it down and speed it up at as many places as you want during the song. There is a tempo map.. not sure how you pull it up as i'm not on my music computer. Basically, you can draw a line of the tempo to create the...

    Need help choosing a mic for home studio

    I have the AT2020. Bought it as a 'studio pak' with the AT2021 (?). I'm not the most experienced person here.. and haven't worked with 100's of mics, but i do like it. I find it a bit 'shrill' or 'tinny' at times.. but that could also be the (lack of) room treatment in my little cubby hole...

    Finally finished an album...comments please!

    Heya. Just listened to the album while working on stuff here, so i can't honestly say that i listened to the whole album critically and focused solely on it. However, i do have to say that you should be proud of the work accomplished. I like a lot of things about it, the songs were good...

    What is your prime tracking tool these days?

    I'm surprised the largest number of answers are using 'reel' based technology. I would have guessed the vast majority would be using computer based DAW's. Just goes to show ya what i know.. lol

    Freezing Issue

    if you haven't tried this... - Set it back up the way it was (with the Alesis as the sound card). Go into the project, and un-arm those tracks. - change the source for those tracks. Set it to the onboard card or whatever. - Close reaper. - Make changes to the computer system you want...

    Does Toneport degrade audio quality?

    @kcearl: did you check the control panel under 'sound and sound devices' (or something like that. You can tell it which 'sound device' you want to use for playback, recording, and Midi. You can also set which sound device you want to use individually in a lot of programs (like Winamp...

    soundcard not being shared across programs

    Couple thoughts.. sounds like 'sound cards' are fighting over stuff. go to the control panel, 'Sonds and Audio Devices', 'audio' tab and check what is chosen there. Depending on how you are set up, you might want to change the option (will probably have something listed for your onboard...

    Did you contact North View High School to see if they were missing any mics? Or to see if they sell gear to people?

    Hey Ramones fans.........

    Help On a Setup!

    Heya.. just chiming in on the Line6 UX2. I use it, really like it. I'm no professional, but am amazed at the tones that the thing can generate. As for the 6 preamps.. i think this needs to be clarified. It has 6 preamp MODELS to choose from. There are two jacks on the front to connect a max...

    How to play 4 track tapes

    oh yeah.. If you haven't figured out how to separate the normal track from the backwards one, try this. a) Pan source tape deck hard left. Record the track. b) rewind the tape, pan hard right. Record the track. then try following the steps in the last post to flip the backwards track.
