Never heard of compressing drums and guitars together... hrmmm... Do you mean just during the loud bits? Very intriguing. As far as Siamese Dream goes it was VERY produced, obsessively produced by Billy Corgan. A common example being the 40+ overdubbed guitars on some tracks. He wanted it...

Too add a bit as far as my gear... I am working with an Art Tube Pre. Behringer 602a mixer, Gina 20bit soundcard. As far as Mics I am using an SM57 for the guitars and going direct with bass. I am using a mexican strat fitted with a blue lace sensor Fender pickup. I can't find my damn Big...

Here is the deal... I'm having a problem creating dynamics in my songs. When I say dynamics I mean a sense of lift/volume etc. Basically I am having problems when the song picks up and distorted guitars come in. Instead of taking the song to the next notch sonically a huge mess is made. The...

I would suggest n-track if you are on a budget. I use it everyday and have 0 problems. For the 24 bit version you only pay $59 US. I've had the oppurtunity to use Cubase, Cool Edit and Cakewalk but I've stuck with n-track. It will do unlimited tracks (theorhetically) of audio and supports...

You said it! You would think they would at least add an update to that stupid page... -valgrim

I took a listen to some of the mp3s and my conclusion is that if I can get close to the quality of them I'll be totally happy. :) You have a really cool sound. My favorite thing was the diagram though ;) Screw the monitors I was looking at I think it's time to invest in some litter boxes. :P...

After some exhaustive searching I found this quote... "Event's Gina, Darla and Layla multichannel cards (with 20 bits converters, actually seen by Windows as 24 bits ones, so that they may be exploited using n-Track support for 24 bit soundcards)" This was from an official FaSoft faq I dug up...

So you just record at 16 bits then? I think it would be kind of depressing to have a 20 bit card and get no use out of the extra 4 bit depth. Forgive me if I misunderstood what you're saying. I'm only pressing the issue because to enable 24 bit recording with N-Track I'll have to pay extra...

Ok, I recently picked up a Gina, the 20 bit version. I must admit I am a little confused. From what I gather 16 bit=65,535 analog voltages and 20 bit=1,048,576 and then 24=16,777,216 right? So the jump from 16 to 20 is rather significant. 1. Is 24 bit much better than 20? 2. The manual...

There is software called "fruity loops" that acts as a virtual drum machine. I've been using it for awhile now and it's pretty awesome. Instead of lame sounding midi you can use actual wav files of real drums. Of course as with all drum machines fills are next to impossible to pull off...

Re: SB Live switchable boost? The Line In on your card runs at line level opposed to the Mic Input which is high gain. However you should never never never ever use the mic input for anything. It's horrible, beyond horrible actually. If you use it a curse will fall upon your first born...

Hi there, if you are using Windows ( I assume you are) do the following. Click Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> System Once on the system menu click the Device Manager tab. Scroll down to Sound/Video/Game Controllers. Open up the list and voila. Those are the sound cards installed...

If you really can't afford the higher end stuff there is always a way to get it. I realize this may be a controversial topic but everything you need is "out there". If you have moral objections or want a manual with your software there are other options ;P I've heard n-tracks is pretty...

Thanks for the feedback. I just recently (today) learned what 'line level' is. :) I took the mixer back today and used the money to buy a book on home recording basics. Probably a better investment at this point. I think I'll skip the mic preamps and just get a decent mixer with preamps...

After electrocuting myself twice I figured I would maybe ask for some help... I am setting up a hard disk recording scheme and was trying to test out my new crappy mixer and speakers. I currently am running it to a SB awe64 and the mixer is a cheap 4 channel jobbie with no pre-amp. I plan on...
