I'll be posting my songs for critique shortly! One more question, this seems obvious, but I have to ask…with EZD2 I assume the more expansions you have installed the more it has to look through when using the Tap2Find feature. That being said can I import drum loops that I get from other...

Thanks for the replies. I'm gonna grab the demo for Jamstix and just check it out. Then I'll decide which one to go with. I appreciate the insight.

At the risk being permenantly banned I'm going to share something…I don't have a lava lamp. :eek: There are two reasons for this, from what I've read, incomprehensible mistake: 1. I don't have the room for one on my current desk 2. I don't have anywhere to plug the damn thing in (see original...

I was looking at that exact unit after reading this thread earlier today. I might just pick one up.

I picked up a copy of Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio and Recording Secrets for the Small Studio both by Mike Senior. I'm starting with Recording Secrets since that seems like the logical place to start. I've heard really good things about the Mixing book from a lot of places. I'm hoping...

So I don't need a power conditioner, but I DO need a automatic backup generator? ;)

Chili, do you find you have to edit the grooves that you create in EZD2 as much as just "finding" them in EZD1? From what I've seen there's more flexibility when creating the drum parts in EZD2 and I was hoping that would be enough to help me create songs. At this point I'm finding that...

We have a fair amount of brown-outs, but they seem to come in spurts in the summer. Really hot weather seems to cause them.

I see some pretty inexpensive power conditioners on Sweetwater (around $100), I'm assuming those are not good enough for me?

I'm using EZDrummer (1) right now to program drums, but I'm planning to upgrade to EZD2 to take advantage of the "song writing" feature (being able to build parts with Tap2Find). Yesterday I saw a thread here talking about Jamstix and I watched some videos on it…I'm really impressed with the...

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. How do I know what "size" UPS to buy? There are so many options...

I've been mixing a pretty complex (for me) song that had lots of volume "issues" and needed EQing. I'd like to be able to quickly and easily A/B my mix with the original, but I'm not sure how to do that since I have just stems that I imported into Reaper. I'm thinking I could load the stems into...

I don't have any unwanted noise other than amp noise (which I'm not sure a power conditioner would solve), but I'm wondering if I should get a power conditioner for my rack? What are the other benefits? I have 3 power strips plugged into the same outlet right now and I guess it could aleviate...

I really like this design. I'm planning on building a similar style in the near future. I'm worried about sag on the top too, but don't have the tools available to piece a top made of hardwood together.

Not sure if this has been posted here before (it's a fairly old post), I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. Reaper Tips & Tricks I found a lot of it useful/interesting.

Thanks for the replies. I'm using songs posted here and on other forums/pages/web sites to get some practice so I don't have the luxury of re-tracking.

So when I'm mixing a song that someone else has recorded the first thing I do is leveling the volumes to make them all "sit" where I want in the mix. I normally just use the faders of each track to do that, but I read an article where someone had an idea of using a "gain staging" plug-in to...

Thanks. I think that means I should sell it. :P I don't have any of that stuff. I know that sounds stupid, but I purchase a bunch of rack equipment a few months ago from a moving sale and figured I would find a use for it (or get rid of it) later.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. What is the rack mixer used for?
