A couple of thoughts.... I'd lean, personally, toward the Delta 44 simply because I have experience with it, and I liked it. It does have balanced TRS ins. But you have concerns, primarily surrounding the S/PDIF and the Pod ProXT. Does the ProXT REQUIRE S/PDIF, or is it just a feature that...

Man, it's been a long time since I've posted here. I've been doing a lot of reading, buying gear, upgrading, improving physical space, working, etc. But, I'm back, for better or for worse.... :p I've been working on this for a client of mine named Leslie, who is the singer on the track...

She always sounds very breathy to me, which is a sign that her throat is not open. You're right that opera is not the only way. A good technique should be useful, regardless of what style you are singing. Chris

This is a very nice site overall. It is easy to navigate through, looks sharp, is well organized, etc. A couple of suggestions, though: The way you've set this up, people might accuse you of spamming the BBS rather than looking for criticism of your site. Also a caution - using someone...

Pressing the Master button on the transport bar activates the master track, which is essentially, a programmable master TEMPO track, though it does do some other things. If you click it and it sends your song automatically to a tempo of 120bpm, then your MASTER track is set to that. Do a...

If you are using any VST instruments, they use RAM. Samples, including drum samples, get loaded into RAM so they do not have to be streamed from the hard drive. Good quality samples require room. If you're loading up a single drum kit, you might have a dozen samples right there. Also, AFAIK...

D'Addario strings are pretty reliable. Augustine strings, contrary to what someone above said, are over-priced and crap to boot. THOSE strings NEVER stop stretching. I've never tried the composites, but have always recommended the D'Addario Pro Arte J46 Extra hard Tension. Chris

There are two ways of approaching this question. 1. The "I'm a really nice guy" way: Get on the net and do a search using various search engines for the band name in question. If you're dilligent, and if it's out there, you'll probably find it. They might be located in Uzbekistan..... 2...

Demensia - what is this opinion based on? What is your experience with the UB series pres specifically? I'm using the UB2442-FX-PRO and it sounds good to me. The UB pres are a significant step up from the older MX series ones. (which I also used to have) Chris

Okay, gear seems fine. What kind of Behringer mixer? The new UB mixers have far superior pres to the old MX series ones. Options A and D in my list are the next suspects. Any details on those? Chris

Hmm... don't know the mic. From what I know so far, my bets on bad vocal recordings for you would have to be placed on the mic. The pres in your mixer are fine. You will get very acceptable results from it. Cubase is by no means the problem. Again, though, if you can tell us a little more...

I don't think it has anything to do with your soundcard. The Delta 1010 is every bit as good as the Echo stuff (Gina/Layla, etc.), if not better. There is a lot more room for error, though, than just your soundcard. Probably more important than your soundcard (at least when comparing the...

A lot of people slag Behringer because they're made in China. So is Mackie. A lot of people slag Behringer because they think they have stolen their mixer designs from Mackie. That was one mixer, and the case was resolved in Behringer's favour. A lot of people slag Behringer for their...

Sorry.... a little more detail is required. You're using a midi cable, and not an audio cable, yes? Is Cubase set up to recognize your controller, and using the associated patch-name script for your controller? If that's the case, everything is as it should be. Tell us more about what...

Hmmm.... I'm interested in this too. On a good day, I can get a Bb, but it requires lots of air to get the note, and as a result, it really gets belted out. In my training, I know there is a way to do just what you're asking, but I'm not quite there yet. The Bel Canto technique that I am...

Hmmm.... sounds like crap how? If you're an otherwise decent singer, there will be no tuning or resonance problems. Perhaps it is your choice of mic? What are you singing in to, and what kind of preamp, soundcard, etc. are you using? Can you post a file? Does it just lack life? Maybe a...

If you're singing correctly, your voice will get stronger over the duration of a night, and by extension, by the end of a tour - if it is weakening, there is tension or strain. Chris

Your question about whether what sounds right is right is a little vague. Not in as much as the way it was asked, but the little implications that surround it. ie... what does "sounds right" mean? From a purely technical point of view, there is straining going on if ANY of the following...

Delta 1010.

yep.... p.263. Chris
