    Help! Manual please

    Bob, There should be an online manual right in the help file of your Cubase VST. I know that's where I found mine. I actually printed mine out and sheeesh, it was almost a 1000 pages! If you're having trouble installing it, make sure you have the dongle installed, or the progrram itself...

    When to normalize?

    Howzit Mike, Hehehe...I thought you knew I was recording my guitar. You mean it's more complicated than I thought? Auuugh! Anyhow, I'm recording a Takamine HR5 classical. I'm plugging straight into a Roland UA100 which is hooked up to my computer through the USB port. The rest of my "band"...

    staying in tune

    Howzit pchorman, Yes, the intellitouch works on solid body instruments. Our bass player uses it on his 5 string bass. The ukulele teahcer at the studio I work out of uses it on his Uke. You could actually use this tuner on any stringed instrument. It will also register for every note on the...

    staying in tune

    Hey Tom, Just wanted to let you know that I checked out your website and really enjoyed the Dizzy Gillespie tune. Anyhow, yes, improper winding will affect the tuning, sure. I must admit that I don't pay as much attention to that as I should. I just kind of make sure the string isn't...

    staying in tune

    Howzit pchorman, Yes, the intellitouch will work even while other the other guys are tuning up, or adjusting snares, or whatever. The other sounds won't affect it. By far, it's the most convenient tuner I've ever used, and I've been using them since the first Conn strobe tuner came out almost...

    staying in tune

    You know, I used to have the same problem you have but over the years it's kinda worked itself out. I think it's the playing that's putting you out of tune. You bend the string, and it's going to stretch. It stretches, and it's going to go flat. That's that. Stretching the strings out when...

    When to normalize?

    Hey, thanks a million anppilot! Hmmmmm....I'm starting to rethink my process through. Your advice really makes sense to me - I need to make some big time changes in the way I record my guitar. You know, I've spent a major part of my life learning how to play the guitar, and now I'm going to...

    When to normalize?

    Hello anppilot! OK, I'm enlightened about your handle. :-) Thanks for the reply. I've heard about the loudness maximizer but never really knew what it was for. I'm assuming that you would use it towards the end of the process also? From what I'm hearing both from you and Shailat, though...

    When to normalize?

    Thanks for the quick reply! What you say makes sense....I guess I just needed to hear it from somebody who knows what they're doing. Thanks again. By the way, Anppilot is the name of somebody who had a post earlier about converting all the midi tracks into audio. Oh well. Lee

    When to normalize?

    I have a question for anppilot or any other pro engineers out there: After converting all of the midi tracks into audio, do then normalize each track individually, or just normalize the final mix? Or would you normalize certain tracks that were weak, and leave others alone? Thanks in advance...

    Just a tip for Cubase users

    You know, I was told that when I first started home recording, but was really too lazy to do it. Well, after reading your post I took the time to convert all of my midi tracks into audio and BAM! Geeez, it's so much easier to mix everything now. Instead of messing around with the GS Editor I...

    Edirol Studio 8....

    I'm not familiar with the Edirol 8, but I am familiar with the gang at Edirol. I bought a Roland SC8850 and a Roland UA100 from them and was completely satisfied. If you have any questions about the products you're thinking of buying, CALL them and ask away. They are the most helpful...

    ?Cubase vs. Cakewalk

    Well, from what you say about your music and recording, I would guess that yes, you are indeed a cakewalk guy. I had a classical guitar teacher who also tried both Cakewalk and Cubase and liked Cakewalk better because of the ease of use. Doesn't seem like you're doing much with your music once...

    Beware Cubase VST/32

    I've heard the same thing on other bulletin boards - you're right about Version 5. Sounds like its a beta, and you guys are the guinea pigs. Hope you get the bugs worked out so you can get your money's worth. good luck. Lee

    Cubase Instrument definitions

    Hi Sonic 931, Thanks for the compliments, it was really good fun recording those tunes and posting them on IUMA. Anyway, in answer to your questions, I usually lay down a rythmn track with Band in the Box. In other words, select a style I like, then write in the chords and set up an...

    ctrl+del

    Well, I went and did it. I used the ctrl+del option to erase a mixed track I didn't want anymore and erased my guitar track by mistake. :-( Is there any way I can get it back? Or am I out of luck? Thanks. The chowderhead, Lee

    Cubase Instrument definitions

    Hey Duttyboe, Geez, where should we start? Anyway, from the questions you are asking I gather that Cubase is really giving you a hard time. Don't feel bad, this is a difficult program to learn. But from reading your questions, it sure sounds like you should go through the users' manual (it's...

    Looking to buy some software...

    I was using Guitar Studio. I understand that it wasn't very powerful even compared to other Cakewalk products, so you may be correct about there not being much difference between the Pro Audio 9 and Cubase. The feature I like most about Cubase is that I can go into the Key Edit mode and...

    Looking to buy some software...

    Hi, I've been a Cubase VST user for about a year now and I must tell you that it is an extremely powerful program. In fact, I was using cakewalk before that, and a friend of mine at Afterthought Studios here in Honolulu told me to try Cubase because it was Cakewalk times TEN. Well, I did try...

    Your Worst Live Concert or Rec'ding Session.

    1976 - Backed up a group of Argentine dancers passing through from Vegas called the Argentine Gauchos. Overture was 18 pages of fast 6/8. Well, if your music fell off your stand, you were a dead duck, and you guessed it, about 4 minutes into the overture I hit my stand by mistake and the whole...
