    Embedding ISRC codes?

    Hi I have a few questions about embedding ISRC codes into each master. I hope you can help me. 1.) How do you do it? (doh!) :D 2.) Is it necessary to use ISRC's for demos/local short-run masters that won't be sold in stores? 3.) Do I provide them, or does the record label? I understand there's...

    That's not a kick drum!

    There was a one-man-band that played during a local songwriting contest a couple years ago... He had a suitcase that he stood up the long-way to use as his chair. Then he had two kick pedals. One with a mallet and one with a brush. He would stomp his heels on the pedals so they would bang...

    Can I Even Sing Well?

    I think you should play the songs that you like. Maybe it's just me, but I can't stand playing music that doesn't actually mean something to me. But then again, everyone's different heh. Pick some of your favorites to cover, some of your own (if you have any written,) and maybe dedicate one...

    Is Reaper Actually Stable?

    What kind of things were you doing when it crashed? I've only really seen REAPER crash when using some flaky plugins or ones that were made with older versions of Synthedit and Synthmaker (before all of the fixes.) Maybe we can help you diagnose the problem :) Computer specs? OS? Any...

    I want to physically use faders.

    Haha nice willis. ;) The hardware devices are called 'control surfaces.' There are quite a few of them out there. I'm sure you can find one in your price range. Zzounds, MusiciansFriend, etc should have a few in stock. Your local music shop might also have a couple. I'm currently using the...

    One of the worst situation ever...

    This just happened to me too! Computer wouldn't get past the boot screen, wouldn't allow booting from any external devices or CD/DVD either. I narrowed it down to a faulty SATA drive (only a few months old!) Something got messed up somehow. (heh and now the same thing is happening to my car...

    Setting Gain for recording vocals

    ^^^ what they said. ...except i tend to track more towards -18dBFS Record in 24-bit and keep the gain knob down (well not ALL the way down..) You can always bring it up later :)

    Reaper's Guiltware?

    Yeah MIDI editing still has a way to go. It has been getting quite a bit of attention lately though. I think the most intimidating part is the massive menus (luckily you can edit them yourself! Check out ReaMenus on the REAPER message boards. Good stuff :D) Instead of ReWire, I believe you can...

    Reaper's Guiltware?

    Try right-click > Save as... the manual is pretty big. I'm starting to wonder though, are the synths in FL Studio locked strictly to that program? They might be.. As far as the 32/64-bit compatibility goes, REAPER has a built in bit-bridge allowing you to use either in both versions of the...

    Question about M-audio Fast Track Pro

    Weak preamps as mentioned above.. I've also noticed that the highs begin to drop dramatically after 12kHz. Other than that, it's pretty nice little interface. I love that it's USB. I'm able to track with my netbook when I'm on the go :D Here's some technical info...

    Reaper...

    You mean something like this? (see attachment) 1.) Right-click Master track > Show FX parameters when size permits. 2.) Add your FX 3.) Click on the blank knobs in the mixer to add whatever you'd like 4.) Click the "FX" button on the mixer: FX > Save chain as default for new tracks Now you...

    Punching in Reaper

    Try this: Right-click track > Enable track free item positioning. This will disable the takes system per-track and give you the functionality you're looking for. (ie: no need to explode takes, previous takes won't be muted, etc..) if you want this as a default global setting: Preferences >...

    What is Reaper and How does it work?

    It works like all of the other DAW software out there with a few exceptions: * It's lean (5MB download!) * It can run from a USB stick * It's completely customizable * It's extremely efficient with multi-core processors * It's affordable! ($60 for a discounted license, $225 if you make more than...

    Running two Delta 44's with Reaper-now Windows Media plays but no sound comes out.

    Is Windows using the 44's as your default soundcard?

    I'm just getting started. Any help & suggestions? :)

    REAPER is actually extremely functional and the most flexible/customizable piece of software I have ever used. It's extremely light on the CPU and the installer is only around 5MB! It's not free though, it's only free for 30 days. You do have the option to keep using it after the 30 days, but...

    What am I missing?

    Haha nice. ^^ You said you have a good room for recording.. does that mean it's been treated acoustically? Search around for Bass traps. You can DIY or buy some from places like RealTraps or GIK. I made my own with stuff from ATSAcoustics You'll also need some monitor speakers. Really, the...
