I have Cubase 7 and simply want to pitch shift an audio track one octave down. Cubase has several pitch shift plugins included: -Octaver -Pitch Correct -UltraPitch 3 Voices (Mono, Mono/Stereo) -UltraPitch 6 Voices (Mono, Mono/Stereo) -UltraPitch Shift (Mono, Mono/Stereo) I haven't found a...

My cover of Last Nite by The Strokes. Did everything on this one myself. Drums are Addictive Drums 2. No normalization or mastering techniques applied. https://soundcloud.com/user-406612091/last-nite-the-strokes-cover Oh, and the original for reference...

Planning to record a song with only acoustic guitar, female voice and maybe a slide guitar in the background. I want suggestions on how to mike the guitar. I want to stereo mike the guitar so that it gets some dimension/3D-sound. What I don't want is a setup where one side is noticeably...

I keep seeing people writing "no, it's not 12/8, it's 4/4 with a triplet feel". If every beat with four divisions of three notes are "4/4 with a triplet feel", then what the hell is 12/8? The idea of "4/4 with a triplet feel" sounds like a bad idea because of notation. Lets use "Time" by...

I've used the reverbs and delays that come with Cubase 7 quite a lot. They are nice but some times you need something a little bit different. Because of this I want to get a couple of new reverb and delay plugins. They will mostly be used on guitars (mostly electric), vocals, and snare. Would...

Hi guys! I'm in need of a DI-box (or possibly a splitter) for simultaneous tracking of DI and miked cabinet signals when recording guitar and bass. Also, I want a graphic EQ pedal for when I want to fine tune my guitar amplifier when recording. Any suggestions on good boxes for these...

I was looking for a "Media discussion" or similar category, but didn't find anything like that, so I ended up here. I just love music production documentaries. The first one I saw was "A year and a half in the life of Metallica", which takes us into the studio while they were making the black...

I'm planning on selling my long retired Mbox 2 Factory/Pro Tools 7.3 bundle. If I can get a tenth of what I paid I'd be very happy. I still have all CDs and the iLok that came bundled with the Mbox. There are CDs for Pro Tools 7.3 and there's a CD for the Factory plugins, both with dedicated...

Didn't know where to post this, but found it most suiting here. Check out this song: Supergrass - Time - YouTube The title says it all really. I'm pretty sure it is an A-major harmonica used in the song, but I'd liked it confirmed before I go buy one. Best regards, -paw

I want to send an already recorded guitar track from my interface to a delay guitar pedal, back to the return, and record the result in my DAW. I suspect there will be some sort of impedance mismatch. Another problem may be signal strength. I suspect a hot signal may not be the best for a...

Recently got a pair of Oktava Mk-012's (cardioid) to take care of my acoustic guitar recording needs. The problem is that the recorded guitar sounds pretty dull. I don't get the "shine" that I want (like the opening chord in "Walking After You" by Foo Fighters). I have tried several different...

Been thinking of getting a pair of Oktava MK 012's for recording acoustic guitar, as I hear they're great bang for the buck for this type of condenser mics. What confuses me is all the different boxes of them you can get. If you go to thomann.de, this is the selection they have of matched pairs...

The headline says it all. As an example, I have an RME Fireface UFX, with input latency of about 2 ms. If I haven't misunderstood, this latency indicates the time it takes for the DSP to create and save data from an analog signal, which would mean that everything I record, will be saved with...

I've heard that, to really get the best out of your headphones, the best thing is to have a dedicated headphone-amp, and especially with higher resistance headphones (which makes sense). However, how important is this? If you have a good interface, is it really necessary? Will I be able to...

This is a four year old recording I did in college as an assignment. The goal was to make a cover sonically as close to the original as possible. Neither of us had appreciable recording experience, so we learned along the way. As you can hear, the sonics are way off compared to the original...

One thing I don't really understand about digital audio is how/where the actual sounds are stored/recreated. Hear me out. Lets say that we've got a 16-bit audio clip at 44.1kHz: -16 bits (two bytes) gives each sample a dynamic resolution of 65536 from zero to maximum "gain". That's all it does...

I'm currently looking at a new laptop as the old one doesn't cut it any more. I've found a really good one. The thing is that is has one welded and one interchangeable RAM-chip. I know that in desktop PCs, all RAM-chips must be identical. If that's the case with laptops, then I won't be able...

This is my debut in the mixing clinic! My earlier recordings have really just been about learning how to record. With this one, I wanted to take a step further and learn more about mixing. I must admit I've worked hard on this one, although it may not sound like it. There are a few things I'm...

Cubase 7. How do you invert the polarity on an FX-channel? I found under "Pre" how to rotate 180 degrees, but that's not the same as inverting the signal. Best regards -paw

Just switched to Cubase 7 and bought Addictive Drums. Never used MIDI before. I need to program some drums and wrap a song up before I go on vacation in a few days. Would anyone be nice enough to explain how this is done? Preferably in a step-by-step fashion. Best regards, paw
