You need a convolution reverb my man. That and I'd say try to make your tracks less bright with eq than you would in a studio, and for a real "live" feel, I'd turn the bass and kick up a shit ton. Don't mud it completely, but just makes sure that bottom end is clear and present and hitting.

When I compress, peaks reduction isn't really the main thing I'm listening for, at least not as much as how hard the track is hitting and what kinda "shape" it has. Either that, or I'm just trying to squash the hell out of the signal and turn it to mix glue lol. You can't do that by just turning...

nevermind, fixed. /thread

So today I go to download driver updates fo my firebox, it says to install the new ones, I gotta uninstall the old ones, I think sure, no problem, bam, done. Go to install the new drivers, reboot the computer....and it says I need the CD. One huge problem, I have no idea where the cd is, Havent...

Thanks for the replies. I dont know what studio one is, I run cubase 5. I'll try using send effects rather than so many plug ins, see if that helps.

I'm using a presonus firebox interface, and I can't record more than a handful of tracks with a few plugins before it starts the incessant popping

Not sure what speed my cpu is....how would I find that out? I'm very computer illiterate as you can tell. I'm running Vista 32. thats right, Vista :/

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to try to post a recorded demo of the song as soon as I can, having a few technical difficulties at the moment however, as you'll see in my other posts on here lol. I should have made it clear where the verses and hooks are, the "hook" or chorus of the...

I'm not sure of a way to mintor ram usage besides mintoring cpu usage, does anyone know? And I'm sure the amount of ram I have would be fine, 512 would be fine, if I didnt have a shit ton of stuff in my computer, and as getting rid of all this stuff isnt an option right now, getting more ram to...

Anybody else experience malfunctions with this thing? While roomworks, the other reverb plugin that came with cubase 5, works fine for me, when I use reverence it either hogs up my cpu like you wouildnt believe and makes a billion "pop" noises in the playback, or I turn it on and suddenly the...

I dont have an external hard drive, if thats what you mean by secondary. Hopefully I can afford one soon. As far as buffers go, mine is maxed out at the moment. I know alotta things could cause my computer to do these pops and such during playback, but I've noticed the more room i make on my...

I have 2 gigs, yet cant record more than a handful of tracks without incessant crackles and pops that im sure is resulting from cpu load. im planning on maxing out my ram capacity but thats only 4 gigs...will it be enough? The pops and shit dont show up on the recordings once they're mixed down...

Alright, cool thanks for the info.

Bass traps are actually what I was planning to tackle next, actually. But you think until I have them, padding the room will actually make my bass frequency loss worse?

I dont really get the replies fellas. If you're trying to tell me hanging up sound absorbing material does nothing to deaden the reflection in a room, then I don't really know what to say to that

I just got 96 square feet of acoustic foam, it's wedge foam in 2X4 panels, and I'm wondering, is it better to have the foam, the wedges, all face the same way, or is it better to have them oriented in different ways, like hand some panels horzontally and some vertically? Any help is appreciated

Oh really? I'm still using le, version from 2004. I've been meaning to upgrade, can you still get 5, though, now that 6 is out?

Hey guys, turns out its definitely cpu load. Thanks for the opinions.

Does it exist?

Whoa. Just got the joke. As for the long reprimand for my lack of humor, cool story bro. Is it possible that the pops and such are related to the amount of space on my harddrive? Because after I deleted alot of programs and defragged the disk, I noticed the pops were less.
