Thanks friends. I'm using Cubase Elements 10, along with my Tascam US-1800. I assume that means there's no problem with turning the master fader down? I won't make it a habit, just good to know etc. Thanks.

Thank you all so much for your replies, patience, and advice! Means a great deal to me. Also great to see familiar friends like Farview and jimmys69 are still kickin around here, you guys have always been so helpful and patient with me in the past haha. What jimmy said is my experience as well...

If a track has just a few peaks that are clipping, is there any real detriment to just putting a limiter on the Master Bus? Like, would the only thing effected be those 4 or 5 peaks? Cause most of my mix is a few decibels under 0. I know that I'm doing it wrong, I'm by no means a professional...

Hello friends, I am confused. I have Cubase 10. The Project File Size (.cpr) for a recording will start around 4 or 5 MB. From there it might grow a bit. At some point they shrink more and more. Down to below 3 MB, even after extensive work and at times a great deal of overdubs/takes of stuff...

Interesting, I don't know much about that. I've been using the stock EQ on Cubase 10 Elements. I'm not sure if that is linear phase EQ? Also for slight additional cuts and stuff, I'm using the Renaissance EQ a bit back in the chain. But it is the Cubase stock EQ that I am experiencing the...

Thank you guys so much for taking the time to respond, it is greatly appreciated! Yeah I thought about much of what you're saying here. I added some extra examples, but I guess my main question is the one I'm working with in regards to the bass. Can anyone explain why, given the exact same...

Hello friends! A little background, I've been mixing a somewhat busy mix. Everything sounds great or good enough on the monitors I'm using, however on checking it with other sources there's sometimes a lack of clarity in the vocals, as the song calls for a fairly bright piano(I eq'd the vocals...

Thanks so much for the assistance ashcat and bouldersoundguy!

Thank you guys so much for the replies! I really appreciate it :) Thanks ashcat! I usually mixdown to 24 bit. By render to 32 bit I assume you mean in mixdown to send to mastering. Please excuse my ignorance! No issues with transferring such a large file online to an engineer? Is it normal to...

Hello! This is a beginner question that is probably common sense around here. I have a song I recorded and mixed in Cubase. I added some stuff and now it clips on the chorus', up to 2 dbs or so. The rest of the song sits under 0 though. Anyway, I know I need to get a grasp on gain staging as...

Thanks a lot for the responses guys! I feel reassured about latency. I didn't know latency wasn't an issue for overdubs, but it makes sense as you explain it I think. I'm not sure where latency would come in to play for my uses in that case, as I always record while listening to what I am doing...

Thanks so much for the reply! Yeah this is basically what I figured. If it was a solo or something I could see it becoming a problem. But A/B-ing a new guitar track I did with the old, I don't notice any issues as I play it basically the same. I had maximized the distance in the basement we...

Hello! I hope everyone reading this is safe and well. I have two fairly simple questions in regards to live band recording. 1) Are there any issues with latency when recording a live band? I've been putting 'highest latency' on when we record. Any overdubs would be done on 'lowest latency'...

Thanks so much for all your responses and suggestions guys, I greatly appreciate you taking the time! I should maybe specify that this isn't for a show, rather for an attempt at a proper recording in an unfinished basement, though not sure it makes a difference. I was thinking of reserving the...

Hello again friends! I didn’t have internet for a bit, but I have one last issue to decide regarding the US-1800 before recording a live band, and you guys were so helpful last time I thought I’d try bothering you one more time if that's alright haha. If its annoying, just ignore me! ;) My...

Yeah I've never had gain problems using the SM7B for vocals with the US-1800 either, wasn't sure if I was missing something, cause I often am. In this case I'm inquiring about using the 7B and ribbon mic for loud electric guitar, so it shouldn't matter. Thank you all SO MUCH!!!! I have no one...

1) The LEV switch on the back is in regards to Consumer(-10) and Pro(+4) right? Does this switch effect the mic inputs, or is it just for line-in? I had it on (-10) all this time sadly. Is there any reason to ever have it set at -10 in a DAW, or should it always be at +4? 2) Also, when using a...

Yeah, I consider that too, that's part of it to me though. I've often been a third party reading an exchange that has nothing to do with me other than an interest in learning, and get frustrated for the same reason on behalf of someone else, cause I could have learned something too that was...

I say "thank you" profusely after basically every post I do where someone answers, but thanks for the passive-aggressive pretend-to-care but mostly just signalling-to-your-peers thing, I guess. You didn't even read my question nor are you interested in it. Not that anyone cares, but I know how...

I don't worry about it too much if the recording sounds good, we record every practice anyway, and no one will ever hear these recordings other than me and my band members. So the elitism and assumptions aren't really helpful. There's clearly a lot of ignorance involved on my part, I'm just...
