I'm pretty sure I just figured it out; it's been working perfectly thus far. I was also surprised PT didn't come with any virtual midi controller.. even the copy of Garageband (that came pre-loaded on my Mac has one. And I have/payed for Pro Tools 12! I'm not aware of another free virtual MIDI...

The guy explaining the process is using Logic. The last step involves going into Logic and setting up the final step the prevents the MIDI controller from overloading the signal (sending it twice, thru two separate drivers). Atleast i think that's what it's doing. I can't figure out how to...

I don't have access to a room where I can set my drums up, so I figured I'd take advantage of the free VI Drum programs that came with my copy of Pro Tools 12; I'm on a Mac. I downloaded VMPK, the free software VI keyboard/MIDI Controller. I'm a bit stuck hooking this thing up. I'm running a UA...

All this information is awesome, but the one major problem is that the room I'll initially be using is only temporary. I'm going to have to buy all this treatment in stages; I can't afford everything in one sweep. Are any of the pieces I need interchangeable, i.e. one size will work no matter...

I've heard Roxul mentioned before as a DIY building material. It's recommended to have bass traps in all four corners of the room, right? Do you just need one per corner, placed on the floor? Or does it need to cover the entire corner, top to bottom? What kind of savings will I be looking at if...

I'm asking a few different questions: -If there's a brand that offers budget acoustical material that sounds better than it's price would indicate -If there are materials that aren't necessarily advertised as acoustic treatment, but had similar properties (and most likely a cheaper price) -What...

I plan on buying a pair of JBL LSR305's. I've been debating between them, Yamaha HS5's and KRK Rokit 5 G3's for a while now. I still need to make my way over to the local music store and hear them first hand. I know that the room acoustics are just as important as the equipment being played in...

Hey, I'm in the process of choosing a reverb plugin for Pro Tools (12.4). I've narrowed it down to H-Reverb, Valhalla VintageVerb and Seventh Heaven (regular version). I downloaded all the demos last night and all three sound great. I still have to figure out how heavy they tax my CPU, gonna...

I bet you're right about the buffer settings. I think I forgot to increase them before the session.. they were low for a previous mix. Thanks.

So this is a latency issue on PT's end? or does the VMPK also cause latency? If it's PT, I find it surprising that Garageband has better latency than PT 12.4.

I finally figured out how to use vmpk as a MIDI controller with Pro Tools. I have the velocity knob on vmpk all the way up, but it seems slow to respond, especially when playing an entire drum beat via the keyboard. The "Musical Typing" option in Garageband seems quicker to respond to the...

My Pro Tools software came with XPand! 2, which has a ton of samples, but I don't have (or can afford) a MIDI controller to access them. I want to use my computer keyboard as the controller. Someone recommended I used LoobBe and Bomes, but Bomes is PC only and I'm on a Mac. I found one program...

by the beater on the inside of the shell that is. ill definitely be experimenting; plan on renting mics and blankets the afternoon before. also, i dont have a hole on the reso. as far as isolating the kick, making a tunnel out of a second kick shell works awesome, but i only have the one bass...

like I said, they're a punk band. i prob want the recording to come out good more than they do. let alone having the kid go practice more. pff. I get what u mean now by the reamp.. run the DI track thru the amp, right? I'm gonna try that on my own first and check out the bleed into the drum...

So instead of putting one OH on top in the middle if kit and one by the floor tom (Glyn Johns), have both OH on top, split left and right or in an XY pattern? Guess I can try both the night before n see what sounds better. You think there will still be too much amp bleed with that double folding...

The corner (for the drums) was my initial thought, high hat side by the wall, right? How far from the wall? Do you agree that I put them right infront of the shelf, instead of under it? Besides a blanket on the wall, do you think I should hang one on the other side? What about the front and back...

I don't have the greatest recording room; concrete floors, dry wall and drop ceiling tiles...it's a rectangular room, the dimensions are 21 L x 15 W x 8.75 H. I'm recording my friend's punk band in a couple weeks and trying to figure out the best spot for the drums. It's been suggested to put...

I recently discovered the Waves RS56 Abbey Road Curve Bender, one of the coolest EQ plugins I've seen/heard yet. Unfortunately, I stumbled upon it literally minutes before the insane sale on it ended, from $269 to $69! Needless to say it was a bitter sweet find. Does anyone have experience with...

How have they held up? I continually hear that every 421 sounds different, even ones with of the same variant, and that their sounds get mellower over time. I've also read that 1 out of every 5 sounds good. Being an owner of multiple 421's, do you agree with this?
