Hi all Basically I want to record some live takes of some songs I'm doing. Recording both audio and video simultaneously (no overdubs) Setup 1 consists of vocals and electric guitar (deville 410) how far should I move the amp from where the vocal mic is? What way should the amp be facing...

Ok this is pretty much what I assumed might be the case (that my mix is too dynamic) I'm really happy with the quiet parts but as I've said the limiter then begins to work way too hard on the louder bits. Even though I get 7-8dbs of gain reduction at the loudest parts I can't really hear any...

I have a track I've mixed and am happy with. When I push my limiter at the mastering stage to a level that is 'loud' enough, I consequently get way too many dbs in gain reduction on the louder parts of the track (9db in g.r) If I back off the limiter the rest of my track then becomes much too...

Hi Currently use a presonus firestudio project as my main interface for recording. I'd like to upgrade to something with better pres. It doesn't necessarily have to have as many inputs, will suffice. Or should I just invest in an external mic preamp? I have used an external pre before with...

Ok cool. Thanks for all the varied feedback. I'm quite certain that with this particular track I'd need to sing and play at the same time (without a click) as the guitar and vocals play off one another in dynamics. To then attempt to re-track both guitar and vocals would prove somewhat...

yo I'm looking to record a song that I play on electric guitar. I want to record the whole thing as one take as this particular track would not suit playing to a click. That and it would lose its 'feel' What would be the standard approach to do this? Should I use headphones and place the amp...

I really need to use IK's sampletron vsti on artist 64 bit. I can do this by using J bridge right. So far I haven't had any luck. I'm running Windows 10 pro. Could someone kindle post a foolproof step by step method here for doing so. The standalone version works fine within windows. I could...

so where about on the dbfs scale should i be tracking at? close to -3dbfs or -10dbfs? cheers

I've recently just installed cubase artist 8.5 on my new PC, nothing special just a core 2 quad, 8gb ram, Windows 10. I'm using a presonus firestudio project as my main interface. Everything is pretty much running as good as I'd imagined it would. I.e low latency 3ms input and 4ms output...

all, When checking my latency within Cubase device manage there is always a difference between input and output latency (the output latency is always a couple of ms' more) does this matter? I read somewhere that when recording we only concern ourselves with 'input'. Is this the case? I can...

yeah i agree it did seem a bit weird. let me know if you get a reply and post your findings here. cheers dude

"Play back the audio and check the level meter of the input channel. The signal should be reasonably loud without exceeding 0db that is the clipping indicator for that channel should not light up." Mix Console-Input Levels On the getting Cubase getting started videos on youtube the...

I've recently purchased cubase artist 8.5. I've been slowly working my way through the manual and have stumbled along some guidelines for tracking. The manual says to set input levels as close to - 0db without clipping. This is in strark contrast to many of the articles I've see on the Web...

go :0)

hey, i totally forgot to put down what monitors I already have. They are M-Audio av40s. I was thinking of upgrading to a pair of Rockits

I have a humble home setup that consists of the following Presonus firestudio project Cubase 8 Rode nt1a Rode m3 SE Vocal booth I have £300-400 to invest. What would be then next thing on everybody's list given my budget. Better mic? Preamp? Tah

The following tracks are from a song I've recently recorded. I'd like to know if there is anything inherently wrong with how either of them (mainly the vocal recorded with nt1a) have been recorded. I haven't added any effects If not then how would one go about fattening them up etc.. Please...

Just leave the compressor doing it's thing then. No rush ;)

Cool. Can I be a massive pain and ask you to mixdown the 24 bit version unmastered (no compression etc) and request the 16 bit as mp3 or wav, and that both include the claps. I'll credit you in the video and share the link with you when I've uploaded it (message me your details etc) When you...

How did you manage tour get the volumemail up there without using much limiting. I can only seem to get my mix to this level by adding another 6-8db on my limiter. Oh also could you leave in the claps/space at the beginning. I need these to syncit up to my video. I'll edit them out later...
