    Music Making with a Computer for Dummies

    Quick question from me, I am running Sony Vegas 8.O on a Pentium 4 3.0 windows xp, am looking at the Behringer U-phoria UMC404HD interface. If I just plug the Behringer via USB into my computers USB port is Vegas automatically going to recognize it and allow me to assign and arm tracks for...

    Cd / .wav file volume Level

    I think I found the problem, for some reason in Sonar I'm seeing some settings for my sound card , Audigy 2ZS,that I did not see in other programs. under Master settings they show 7/8, 5/6, 1/2 and none. I was setting them at 7/8 but at 1/2, the volume of what I'm hearing seems to be the same as...

    Cd / .wav file volume Level

    I was just thinking, could it be that I'm monitoring my inputs istead of outputs. Thus I'm not really hearing whats getting mixed down on the export. This is driving me crazy!!!

    Cd / .wav file volume Level

    A strange thing, the volume level on my burned cd,s is much softer than what I hear in my monitors before I export. I export .wav at 16 bit 44.1, I tried turning dithering off, setting other preference to "what you hear" and checked the mix .wav file and the level is still softer so it's not...

    ***Everyone asking about mastering***read this***

    I love this thread because Mastering [ as well as mixing ] is what I am struggling with right now. I track on a Tascam 2488 and export/import 24 bit .wav files into Vegas 6 for mixing. I have the standard Vegas plugins as well as some freeware [ SIR reverbs, etc. ] I think the bottom line IMHO...

    Monitors

    You may want to look at the Alesis ProLinear 820 's, Not the DSP's, I dont know why but MF has them on sale/clearance right now for 199 each. These sold originally for 449 each and some places still list them at that price. I bought a pair and it was 398.00 w/ free shipping. Worth a look at this...

    Help purchasing first pair of monitors.

    I tend to agree with both sides on this one, The highest quality, flattest monitors are what we should all shoot for. That being said I also think it is as if not more important that the person mixing is experienced and very familiar with the monitors and room he has them in. If you know how...

    Have XP Media - should I change?

    I'm Running XP Media 2005 With Sony Vegas 6+DVD. however I'm only editing and mixing with it. To be totally honest, unless you are going to try and use your computer as a VCR the Media Center OS is Bullshit. It came on my computer and so far Vegas 6 is running stable with it but if my hard drive...

    Is it true about the Tascam bbs forum?

    At a minimum I think it sucks that Tascam does not offer a forum on their own website. That is so basic in the business world today. For a tech company like Tascam not to offer it is really bush league. That being said, as long as they keep coming up with machines like the 2488, there will be...

    Sonar 4 Evaluation copy

    You are right some people have bought them and been pissed off when they time out / expire, then they call Cakewalk and say they have a problem with the software. Not much they can do for them at that point, glad I didn't fall for the scam!!!!

    Sonar 4 Evaluation copy

    What I meant by evaluation copy is, some people are selling what looks to be full versions sealed in the box with a sticker on the box that says evaluation copy. [ Not the trial version from website ]. Cakewalk told me these are full versions but will time out and that some people have been...

    Sonar 4 Evaluation copy

    Well, I called the Cakewalk people and was told that the evaluation copies are non-registerable and that they time out among other things. Anyone know if this is true?

    Does anyone know if the Sonor 4 Producer, evaluation copies are full, registerable versions. I've seen some new in the box for decent prices but would hate to buy anything less than a full, registerable version?

    COmputer setup

    I planned on exporting mono .wav files from the 2488 either through the USB port or CDR's. I'd really like to know how many compressors, gates etc the programs have, I do live drums [ 8 mics ] so I need a lot of individual compressors and gates as well as reverbs and eqing. The specs. don't...

    Mapex Pro M, vs Orion Orbitor

    I had to lower my standards as far as what I can afford for a studio drum kit, What do you guys think of the Mapex Pro M series or the Mapex Orion Orbitor which I guess is basically the Pro M kit in a different color? I do like the sound of Maple and need to get the most bang for the bucks, I...
