I use Cubase, though I never knew of this function. I'll have to check it out. Is this preferred to gating...say on a tom track or snare track?

Ok - so I guess its possible that what I was seeing was "multiple" takes (on separate tracks) then the unuseable parts "cut out"? Thus leaving only the parts of each take that are worthy of keeping?

"One take meaning - one track per pass"??? Not sure how to explain it. Hello everyone! I was watching some mixing videos online and noticed a Dave Pensado project was filled with many breaks in his tracks. It appears as if the song was recorded in "pieces" instead on each instrument in one...

I wouldn't call the M-Audio Fastrack Pro a "cheap" unit. While it may be inexpensive ($200 for 2-channel) - I've recorded with mine for 3 years now and achieved wonderful recordings with it. I agree full-heartedly with Massive's post above. Look at the room you're in, instrument, mic...

I checked EBAY and it appears I may be able to get another Profire 2626 for around the same price as a new Octopre. These units have dual firewire ports. I don't think those allow me to link the two units together, correct? Still need to link them via ADAT ??? Not sure why they would have...

All great info - thanks jimmys69 and Steenamaroo!

I understand what you are saying completely! I hate that #$@! too! I'm running Cubase 7 also and use my Profire 2626 but am needing additional inputs. I was considering another Profire 2626 for the same reason you bought 2 UR824's. The Octopre is enticing simply because I can find one used...

The UR824's are interfaces - no? Is there any advantage to running (2) interfaces together as opposed to one interface and one (8) channel mic pre?

Great - thanks for all your help!

OH - OK - so the Presonus Digimax isn't an interface, just an 8-channel mic preamp used for expansion only? This is a much cheaper option than another Profire 2626. What kind of issues may I encounter with integrating Presonus with M-Audio? Is the configuration done in the M-Audio mixer...

Hello All - I have reached my capacity with my M-Audio Profire 2626 - 8 channel interface and was wondering if anyone has tried tracking with two of these at the same time? I know you can daisychain (not sure if that is the correct term) up to 3 of these together - just never tried it. I want...

Thank You Alexander! Do you think I will need anything on the other side of the room? The opening in the wall and the doorway make it pretty hard to add any 4" bass traps. Also, would you recommend any particular insulation for above the drop ceiling...or just the pink, home insulation...

Here is a pic of the room opposite the drums. (Please note: The stairs are directly to the right of the doorway - no corner there)

Thanks GIK - Is this the best arrangement or should the 2 panels behind the drumset straddle the wall/ceiling corner? (Please see the rudimentary photoshop "sketch" LOL) The opposite wall (from the band - looking outward) is somewhat open so there really isn't much I can do about panels there...

[/B] Thanks for your input GIK - the 2" panels are hung every other stud all the way around the band and behind where I was standing when I took the pic. If I double them and remove much of the wood back (was thinking about cutting a large rectangle out of the middle of the wood backing so...

Thank You Ethan! I was wondering about the space above the tiles as well. Should this be acoustic batting material or will R30 fiberglass insulation work? Also, the black "curtain" hanging all the way around the band is a heavy, thick velour material that is doubled up atleast half-way up the...

Should bass traps have an open back? Here's my situation - I made (12) panels for my basement band practice / recording space. The panels are 2" x 24" x 48" OC 703 mounted to 1/4" particle board, wrapped and stapled (no wood on the sides - cloth is basically holding the fiberglass to the...

My recording space is in the basement and in need of bass traps. The only issue I have is that I have a beam running along one wall housed in a soffit. The soffit measures 6" tall by about 10" deep (width). Straddling this with 4" bass traps would be difficult. If I cut strips of 2" 703 and...

How long was the blade? Was it just a razor utility knife?

Has anyone got any ideas how to achieve the best possible straight cut on 2" (or 4") Owens Corning 703 without tearing it to shreads making a mess if it lol?
