I found it helpful to create a dedicated (throw-away) kick track for the triggering. Then you can experiment with EQ, compression on that trigger track. But I dunno how to do in Cubase...

Yessir! In my opinion you HAVE to do DIY mastering, simply to understand why to avoid it. Listen to your stuff one year later and you'll know why it was no good idea! I tend to notice, that my ears seem to be too bad for doing ANY proper mastering job anyway... BUT: As I'm a self-confessed...

Dunno your setup and protools, but it sounds to me as if you switched a sensitivity too low in protools and try to compensate via a hotter mic pre setting... Perhaps someone knowing pro tools might jump in on that... aXel

Generally, the quality of behringer is rather low. BUT: I have some behringer stuff, simply as it is rather cheap. Mic pres will surely be noisy for recording, but may help for the first steps. You might wanna add a cheap mic pre like a ART tube MP which costs something like 50$ here in Germany...

...perhaps you missunderstand something: you can return the Lexicons out to INPUTS 3&4 or something like that. It doesn't matter that the TRACKS 3&4 are already used. I'd definitely go that way, as it makes not too much sense (except for special cases) to record the return. You can switch the...

Just had a short listen CallMyNameMix5... Just two things in my opinion: either use less distortion on the rhythm guitars or sticks on drums... IMHO, vox is now a little hard to understand. You might add a second copy of the vox that is compressed. It might be necessary though, to avoid comb...

I'd try to match the voice verbs to that of the piano. It sounds a little artificial that the voice is so much dryer that the piano... (City Lights) Alternatively/additionally, I'd add some more high end to the voice or maybe some slight slapback delay... But I'm always doing quite wet...

I hope that Dragon will soon be able to lock the guy out. I really haven't been here for a while, but even to me, it seems rather ridiculous that you'd insult people... But now I understand why my reps didn't get better which in the end was the reason why I stopped visiting here ;) aXel

I'd also try to use the M/S. Use the cardioid as 'middle', and the ribon as 'strereo' having both sides pointing 90 degrees from your cardioid axis. You then can get the R and L by adding and subtracting the two tracks. If you know what I'm trying to tell you,... forget everything - I just...

You should use a PC card with SPDIF in - either RCA or optical. Then it's quite easy, as you can do the mixing on your EX and 'record' on your PC. I always go a different way and do a mix to a CDR (got an audio cd recorder) and rip the CD afterwards. Why? Well you can listen to that cd before...

Record with 24 bit and leave enough room to the magical 0dB digital. Then it should be no problem compressing in the mixing stage. Just remember: not too hot - any clip will spoil your take... aXel

You should find a tools called br8 converter or br82wav, that you can use to get wav files from ZIP disks. You have to have a PC with zip disk and then can import tracks as WAV. Drawback: you gotta mixdown first on the br8... aXel

If you have a plain ('yugo') vs880, it seems to work with the br8towav converter from boss, available at the rolandus.com site. But: you'll need a SCSI disk drive like MO, zip, sysquest... it won't work with a hard disk. DISCLAIMER: I use a 880EX and there fore could NOT try it my self. You...

Hi! I'm working with the older Roland VS stuff for quite a while, so maybe I might help you... I've never used one of the vs8f3 boards, though. First thing: why do you wanna do a DIY-mastering? I do it that way, too, but I'm ***definitely*** not assuming any professional success with my...

The problem with panned bass is very often that it is the bass the 'eats' most power. Therefore a centered bass can be twice as loud. The miced DId trick doese the same: the bass frequencies are centered and it's only the harmonics that are different on both sides. That might give you a even...

IMHO, a duplicated track is useless... You can get the same effect with the pan knob (if I understood the above trick right).If you record a second track, that may be a way to fatten up... I assume that a lot of the problems is the 'wrong' EQ of the karaoke track - I'm pretty sure that theyre...

One more tip that might help: don't cut away all the mids at the amp - you might be missing them without knowing... aXel

Couldn't it be the other way round? As your voice is lower, the mix CAN be turned up higher in volume (and may intended to be heard that way) without offendig your ears? If you consider stuff like e.g. Offspring, they often have their voice quite low, as they expect people to hear the stuff...

Cheapest SHOULD be VS890... It has 8 Tracks in MAS mode, which is 44.1 16Bit uncompressed, but NO XLR You'll need external pres for every condenser, with 2 channels somehow converted to SPDIF. VSR880 should work too, has 8 inputs, but no mic pres at all in, so you'd need a mixer or so, too...

Approximately... It's funny, the winter seems to be a better time for the roland forums... aXel
