    no tracks clip except the master fader?

    A lot of DAW softwares dosn't actually clip in the red because they are floating the bits around for you, so you don't have to listen to the nastiness that is going to occur when you actually export the mixdown to a new digital file. And dang, you guys are getting way too technical for our...

    Dual Disk setup, which should have OS

    Sure it will work, and you may not notice any lacking performance, but you should be able to get better performance out of your hard drives. Most optical drives I see run in Ultra DMA Mode 2, whereas modern hard drives can run in Ultra DMA Mode 5. Your IDE channel has to go with the least...

    Dual Disk setup, which should have OS

    Well... you also shouldn't put a hard drive on the same IDE channel as a CD burner, so keep that in mind.

    Recording in the desert

    Yeah, but there isn't really any sound either. Unless you want to record in the air of a space station or something, but then you are back to having walls again. And you would probably have to turn off all your support systems if you don't want to have any noise; and you would get very cold...

    Am I really worthless?

    Couldn't agree more. And maybe try living on the streets in the ghetto for a while or something.

    Group Channels

    Yeah, I wish Cubase had more routing options. There is stuff with inserts, aux sends, and grouping that all bothers me. Duplicating tracks is about all I know to do for some things like this. They should make it so you can route anything anywhere through as many groups as you need, and you...

    Censored words on radio.

    Yeah, I dunno. The one I heard kinda sounded like they may have tried to paste some sounds together to say "spit" but I don't think it was an official overdub by Layne or anything.

    Censored words on radio.

    That Alice in Chains song "Man In the Box" was played for a long time down here without censorship, then one day I heard "Shoooove my noooose in shfpfzpssay!" Someone must've looked up the lyrics or something... :rolleyes:

    Pro commercial release cost

    As long as you adhere to the proper hair and clothing standards enacted by the Punk Standards and Practices Act 512.3A, that is all that matters.

    Exporting..why is file so big??

    No you are all wrong: 640MB CDR = 74 minute Redbook audio 700MB CDR = 80 minute Redbook audio give or give a few seconds. So, screw you all very much!!! :D

    do i own my pro tools session?

    Interesting to hear you say that. I'm not sure anyone has any plans to change computer-based DVD burning in any other way than increasing speed, and perhaps compatibility with newer HD formats. So maybe manufacturers are not aware of all the troubles? I have a PX-760 that I use a lot at...

    do i own my pro tools session?

    Actually....I don't know if you consider them "pros" haha, but I heard straight from a dude at Mitsui (MAM-A) that recordable DVDs are not recommended for archival. They deteriorate much sooner than a CDR. I forget why, but I would be willing to bet it has something to do with the smaller...

    How to make absorption panel

    Haha, I jammed 3 bundles of 2" mineral wool in my Tempo one hot summer day. Sucked! I ordered 5 bundles total from SPI a while back. They shipped it on a truck to my city (200 miles away) and I had to pick it up from the freight carrier. Pretty economical way to do it, if not a pain making 2...

    Hypothetical Ooopsy

    I would say feeding 48V into the OUPUTS of the ART would be a bad thing. Prolly fried a little opamp or something.

    Mastering & DC offset

    Funny, I just had a bunch of tracks come in that were poorly done, and they had something like 3% DC offset. Very obvious on the graphical display. It is weird, where the flat line normally is (-infinity) these tracks have their flat line at around -30.5 on the negative (bottom) side of the...

    Bob Katz's K-System

    I like to keep it simple and flexible: If I am doing the final master, I try to make it as loud as the duplication medium (CD) will handle while still sounding good (genre-specific). If louder is requested, I make it a little louder and a little crappier until a happy median is found. As I go...

    Clarification of Panning Please!

    In like, vidya games and stuff it seems to me that in order to make stuff sound like it is behind you on 2 speakers involves some frequency alterations too. Typically the highs or presence range is lowered a bit. I guess it simulates what happens when sound has to go through the back of your...

    Mic Pre Purchase Narrowed Down

    It really isn't that hard. Designing the stuff is the hard part, but you certainly don't need to be a voodoo witch doctor to build a properly working preamp from a kit like SCA. Maybe you'll give it a shot someday; but the API is a great choice. Of course, won't do you a whole lot of good for...

    Mic Pre Purchase Narrowed Down

    ^word. Get a couple SCA A12's and a couple N72's and have fun. N72's are usually my go-to kick and snare; A12's usually my go-to for overheads and general purpose. I would not cry if all I had were A12's. 4 channels of API is never a bad thing though, especially if you got more money...

    Substitute for Fiberglass???

    Auralex is pretty nice and generally looks pretty good if you get creative (I like the DST stuff). It will help tame reflections pretty well, and can help with the bass if you get the LENRDs or MegaLENRDs. Bonded cotton is a pretty good substitute for 703, but I found cutting it into wedges...
