    New drumkit samples suggestion needed

    I have spent a small fortune on gear, hardware and software so it all mounts up as you know. Some good deals I'm finding as I start to look around. Value for money is never a bad thing :)

    New drumkit samples suggestion needed

    I have two questions. I've just upgraded my PC, so it's out with the old and in with the new. I've been using EZdrummer for years to play my drum tracks but I'm getting a bit bored of it now and I'm thinking of buying a sample package of good, studio quality hits and kits to build my own drum...

    Handling USB mixer and midi

    Hi there, I'm wanting to add a Behringer Xenyx 1832 USB mixer to my small home studio set up to use with my DAW (Cubase 5). I'd like to use it for the pre's and also some mixing possibly with outboard. At present, I use a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB interface for the pre's when recording stereo...

I have a 90's Squier Strat and a Yamaha RBX bass with EZ Drummer for drumbeats. I also have a Focusrite Saffire 6 preamp. What I'd like...

    Recording two passive acoustic pickups on separate channels

    Thanks for going to the trouble for me - really appreciate that. I had an ART MP which I tried using as a DI and I found it to be noisy when the output gain was raised above one third. It was like a circuitry noise. It was too loud for solo acoustic work. Thanks again. If anybody else has...

    Recording two passive acoustic pickups on separate channels

    Hi guys, I am going to use two separate mics (Behringer C1 and Rode M3) on separate pre-amps (Ultramic 100 and Art Tube MP) for stereo guitar recording. I have an M-audio fast track interface with an XLR input on one channel and a line in on the other channel, if anybody is familiar with this...

    Formatting DMT8-VL question.

    I was told the other day that when the drive in the DMT8-VL is formatted, that the entire data (i.e. songs files) is wiped and non-recoverable, unlike on a standard PC hard drive where the data remains intact in a partition until recorded over again. I'm not sure I was just being fobbed off by...

    Recovering Fostex DMT8VL projects

    Hi all, I did some demos a few years back with a DMT8VL hard disk recorder and when the project was complete I formatted the hard drive and the machine was put to rest. Do you think it's possible to recover those sessions and bring them into a newer PC session for remix? As far as I know the guy...

    Compression/EQ plugs and memory efficiency.

    I wanted to ask how you guys deal with this - I mix on a laptop with 2GB RAM, a typical song has 25 WAV file tracks. When adding compression and EQ to the tracks, the system can start to slow up and prevent me from having compression on some of the tracks. For instance, I want a certain kick...
