    Roland Duo-capture EX

    Hi guys, Roland Duo-capture EX USB Audio Interface. Has anyone had any experience with this unit? Can't find anything relating to this. I'm interested in the phantom powering and latency performance. Thanks in advance.

    How can I fade out a vst? (for old record effect to fade into/out)

    I'll try and help. So ...You have one VST instrument that you are applying an effect to, and you wish to fade this out, or reduce the amount of this effect gradually? Anything like this I would look to use automation to fade out the track or the amount of effect in arrangment view If this is...

    M-Audio Fast Track 2 MKII USB Audio Interface

    I bought one of these this week. It works with my dynamic mic but not my condensor mic. I have turned the Phantom power on but there's little else I can do. I read it's predessor needed a PSU to supplment the USB power, so I bought a PSU - Unfortunately, this new unit doesn't have a PSU input so...

    M-Audio Fast Track USB recording delay / out of synch

    I bought one of these this week. It works with my dynamic mic. Latency doesn't seem to be an issue if you use the 'Direct Monitor' option on the front panel and plug your cans in there. I have left it on its default settings. I'm using Ableton Live and an old Acer i5 with 8G RAM. Hope this helps.

    Stand for the Akai APC 40 recommendations (uk)

    Well it arrived yesterday and immediately made using my Ableton so much easier. What I need now is a stand for it. Searching around I have seen the following which may do the trick Musician's Gear Deluxe Conductor Music Stand However, if anyone knows of where I can get this in the uk or can...

    My brilliant home made pop shield

    Back in 87 I saw this idea and used it to great effect. Got into a little trouble because I stole the wife's new tights and of course she needed them the next day -typical:)

    Abelton Live Thom Yorke

    I see what you mean. If you told me it was done in Ableton, with my limited experience, I would believe you. What I have been tinkering with is Sound Design, and it is quite amazing what you can produce with saw wave and a little noise; and simpler. Google / You Tube Sound Design and you'll see...

    Sitar(ish) sound with 6-string Bass & Ableton Suite 8.3.3

    I really enjoyed listening to this DoobieBrother. Sounds a very nice recording, and a very nice sound. Have you done anything more? Thanks for sharing.

    Bad mixing day?

    This is good advice, but I would go back further. It all starts with the arrangement. How you interprete your idea. What instruments you use, how they work together. The melody, rhythm; Remember space is also an instrument. Stereoising, phasing, panning, etc., is about 'fixing'- fixing in the...

    Bad mixing day?

    I'd be a little careful with this. I'm not saying it wont work but you should try and listen to it on various sound stages. So for example I'd do the initial mix on large tannoys, then smaller ones, then on some Tandy minimums 7s and finally on a small set of cheap passive speakers to emulate...

    Bad mixing day?

    In my experience, if you're not on a tight deadline, it's best to take a break and leave it alone. Especially if you have been recording the same day with headphones. When I was 'producing' I would try and plan to do things on different days but of course that can restrict the 'creative...

    revox a77 or b77

    Used both back in the 80's. The B77 was what I eventually used to master onto before switching to DAT in the 90s

    Whats a great DAW software for recording?

    I voted other as I am using Ableton. My interest is music production: song writing specifically. I have version 8 suite so it has a great selection of sounds and effects, and I have Trilian and Roben Papen RG as VSTs. Back in the 80s I had a small backroom studio and in the late 80s early...

    If you HAD to use one dynamic mic for everything...

    Back in '87 I had two mics: an SM57 and a Sennheiser MD441U. Did a good job at most things. 8track
