Personally I would have to get a controller over a synthesizer for controling stuff in a computer. I have plenty of synthesizers and using them to control softsynths sucks. You have to change all the cc# in the synth to correspond with the softsynth cc#'s. Each softsynth has different cc#'s...

Get one on ebay used for 100 bucks. I personally have one and think it adds noise to my recordings to much. I find a much better compression recording straight into the computer and using a waves c1 compressor. Is this just me, or am I just a digital freak?

Alright that looks like a great tool. I will possibly get another small mixer just for the pedals and other effects gear. I have 6 aux on this mackie, and 4 return only. I was going to upgrade to a mix wizard from allen & heath. Maybe I will just use the mackie mixer as a aux mixer then.

you can get some used genelec 1030a for like grand on ebay. Not bad moniters either. I purchased a pair of 1031a for $2,100. I was looking at the adams, but this deal was to good to pass up. Ps good moniters as long as you don't blow them will last for 10-15 years +. I used to use a old pair of...

I find that when I run a aux out from my mixer to a single guitar pedal it sounds far more raw and loud than if I run pedals in series. I am meaning I link mutliple guitar pedals from a single aux out to a aux return. I assume this is because the pedals need that extra juice that comes from the...

I don't get these posts I live in the city and cars go by all the time lol. I have to mix at at least 40db to balance out the outside noise lol. I have my case on my computer open lol. I do have seagate barracudas, the best quiet hd! I also have a quiet cpu cooler. The noisest thing on mine is...

Hey I finally picked one of these up at a steal of a deal. I heard that this is a very important part of the recording chain and really cleans up the recording going digital + having a nice convertor. I am concerded about the lucid software for windows. But then again it does seem like you even...

My buddy uses one of those to set up his PA for live gigs. He says it is the best tool for tuning a room. I never thought about using it in a studio wow good idea. Are thier any other manufactures of these? Call me parniod, but beringer's prices are so low, I just assume they are complete...

I guess it's similar to having sex many times a hour and being a porno star right?

Mastering is the final stage, mixing of the stereo 2 channel end product. So check this out, if I cut up a final mix file at different frequency ranges and compress them, apply the fixings. Then I can recomplie all the individually eq'd and compressed sections and have a much better "master"...

get some used moniters, from ebay, from a music store. You can get ok moniters for 100 bucks. Now most are smaller and have not much bass... but at least they are accurate.

How can thier be so few mastering engineers? Their are so many who mix and record. How come thier are tons of software programers and not that many mastering enigneers?

It seems strange... a cd I make will sound flat. These cds sound round... the sound comes out not straight at you. The way the sound is dispersed seems to be spread out in a small shape... mabye plate reverb or small room? I guess you just pump reverb for the master and not invidual tracks? Or...

Well I have done that before with this trance song I mixed... I had two lead sounds... sort of like two guitars. I just think it is very strange if you put them hard left and right. Sounds better all in the center stage pretty much with nothing all the way left or right mostly

I have this band where I am going to record two guitars for real. I have heard in rock band where they pan a single guitar hard right... vocals in center, bass center with drums normally at 10 oclock right? What should I do with two guitars? Pan one hard right then the other at 4 o clock?

I was wondering how they make this cd sound like the tweeters are in a round shaped box. I guess it is some reverb? The sound comes out of the tweeters and feels like it is surrounding in a circle and round. This is the best way I describe it. The cd is Trance Masters I bought in England last...

Hey I have my project studio. I have some genelec 1031a and am now going down the pipeline to make everything sound better. I currently have a M-Audio Audiophile... which is great except the lack of inputs. I am looking to upgrade to at least 8 in's and out's. I have a Mackie 1604 Vlz Pro...

Funny response. Main elements are the key as I can clearly understand, but all that quiet stuff adds to a mix so much. I guess it is confusing and will take the rest of my life to figure it out... so I guess that is why we all love it.

I have this question on levels for music. Its obvious that when you make a mix everything cannot be LOUD. I guess you can try to make everything in the mix equal loudnesses then nothing would be loud correct? So the perception of one thing being loud in the mix is because others are softer? I...
