    Yet another Preamp Question

    about the room treatments I have a 12' by 12' room, "daddy's band room" as the kids call it. The walls are not attached to the rest of the house to avoid tranferring sound energy, and a double layer of sheetrock installed to help tame the lows. Heavy carpeted floor with a thick pad, on...

    Various questions

    In my language "newbie" say we have a singe guiter track, recorded in mono, since there is only one mic, or di with internal plugs, when we listen to that track we hear it evenly out of the left and right , unless we pan it "more" towards the left or right bus of the stereo mix we are...

    Yet another Preamp Question

    my main question is.. I allready have the firepod and a mackie 1604 pro.. is there any "gain" no pun intended, in sound quality, by purchasing an entry level or under $500 preamp? Or should i focus on better mics? I know these are all addressed elsewhere but not in relation to the...

    Yet another Preamp Question

    I've read and read about the importance of preamps. I came across a thread where a guy wanted to "match the quality of the preamps in his firepod" I use a firepod and was looking for Preamps to add to the mix would an additional preamp make that much of a difference? i know there...

    Mobile Recording Van

    I love it, had the idea myself.. Don't really have the need where i live. I like the dual set up hd24's and computer set up. would you use house direct outs or mic everything yourself? im assuming this would be for live rock/roll shows.

    Exporting / Blackup

    Glad i could help...:D Took me awhile to figure out to start a new project with every song. You can create a template to start from. When i start a new project, i select the template and i loads all the settings i have stored for recording my drum set. Make sure to create a new folder for...

    Cubase Studio 4 Capabilities - VST limitations

    I upgraded from le to Essential 4. Lets me record more than 8 tracks at a time. But it does not have the midi and video features like Studio 4. Since i only do rock and roll type bands, Essential works for me. Plus it was only $100 from Steinberg. They were very helpfull when i called and...

    Exporting / Blackup

    I don't know how to fix your current problem. I had the same thing happened to me except i was working on one song, and decided to empty the trash in the pool. this deleted all my other tracks from all my other songs. Now when i start a new song, I allways create a new file under "new project"...

    intonation issue

    Fliping the saddle worked out just fine.. Thanks. I see your point about filing though.. If you need to , removing the thickness of the metal will allow you to move its position futher towards that side of the bridge. Anyone recommend good tuners?
