So, I've created a MIDI drum track and I want to be able to control the volume of it. However, when I futz with the fader, the MIDI volume doesn't change. I'm pretty sure that at one point, I was able to do this on a MIDI-Channel-by-MIDI-Channel basis. Why not now? MIDI out is going to the...

I've recently come across an older mixer which looks serviceable, but when I opened it up, I found grease and dust all over everything. The circuit board is grimy, the faders are covered. Are there any solvents that I can use to safely clean the grime off this board? Any techniques that would...

This is a little off topic, but I bet I can get the best answer here. I need a recording to prove to my band that we're WAY too loud and poorly mixed in a certain live situation that we play currently. I keep trying to tell my bandmates that we're so loud that the musicality of what we're...

http://www.edirol.com/products/info/m100fx.html For what I want to do (one-track-at-a-time recording direct to my computer) it looks perfect. I can't find any real reviews of the product, though. Anyone have any experience with this?

I want to hear the best of what you've done with the most meager of recording equipment. For example: Right now, I'm doing my best to track a song with one of those shitty condenser microphones that you get with your computer's sound card. It's not that I don't have the equipment or the time...

I was tought from a young age that to properly wrap a mic/instrument/speaker cable is to follow it's natural tendency to coil and not to wrap it around your forearm. The reasoning behind this seems solid enough: by not wrapping it tightly around an arm and gently coiling it, one would avoid...

Why don't we create a sticky thread about soundproofing, and how *true* soundproofing is really costly and requires lots of work, whereas sound treatment to deaden a room is achieveable with simple household items.

I have an N Track song with six audio channels ... I'm punching in parts to each channel as the recording progresses (it's an overdub piece, me six times over like bobby mcferrin). I have approx 15 parts in the song total (2 parts per channel times 6 channels plus 3 parts on various...

This is my first dealing with Cubase, so be gentle. Here is my hardware setup (and don't laugh) MIDI Keyboard with MIDI out connected to ... Sound Blaster Live (only sound device in my computer). I had trouble at first, just getting MIDI Thru working (I could tell it was going thru because...

I envy everyone out there that has one of the following items: A) A budget that allows for purchasing high quality microphones, even if it is just to test it out, and return it if you don't like the sound. B) A good relationship with someone who owns several high quality microphones. C) A...

Lots of multitrack PC/Mac interfaces offer multiple ins as well as multiple outs. I guess I don't understand what the use of the multiple outs is. Is it so you can use outboard effects/compression/etc on the signal that's on your disk? Could someone explain what they are for, and how to use them?

It's my opinion (and I'm sure I'm not alone) that the quality of spelling in this country has dramatically decreased. Here now, is a quick spelling primer for those of us embroiled in the expensive grip of the recording pastime: Bass: Low Frequency Sound. Precursor to the words 'guitar' and...

I'm trying to mic my acoustic guitar. I get everything set up. Cables routed, everything in place, etc. I snap in front of the microphone (DON'T TAP ON THE MICROPHONE! IT MIGHT HURT THE DIAPRAHGM!) to see if I'm getting any signal. Nada. The mic I'm using is an ECM8000, which requires...
