It reared its ugly head again. This time on a completely different machine. I am "mobile" with my laptop and recorded last night. I tried 48khz/24bit as well as 96k/24bit and getting the same thing. Nearly all non-essential programs were turned off and/or uninstalled completely. The only...

OK....I think I finally figured out what was going on...total noob mistake. I went back to the space today and looked inside the kick. Somehow it got moved to ~ 2-3" from the beater so I suspect that it was simply taking too much concussion, won't know until we try again. I took it out...

OK...even more weirdness. I'm wondering if my mic has gone south or if something else is going on. Presume the mic still works though...i'm going to try a different cable. Instead of peaking/etc....Every hit sounds like a distorted fart. I'm not sure if it's too close to the head or...

Sorry...been away at Dragoncon :P I'll definitely look at the in-line pad. The Saffire channels I use (1 & 2) have a -9db (or -10db...depends on where you read) pad. The weirdest thing to me is still getting a signal w/ the channel knob all the way down.

I've been a fan of Cakewalk stuff forever....so, personally, I'm partial to Sonar X1

Setup in question: Shure Beta52A for kick drum into Saffire Pro 40 connected via FW into PC running Sonar X1 Producer. Project setup is 24bit/96k Weird thing #1 - When plugged in, the meter on the front of the Saffire is hitting upwards of about -3 (4/5 on the meter) with the knob turned all...

I'm not sure what the final fix was...but not having the issue any more. I am disabling the other audio drivers, killing all background apps, etc....that could have something to do w/ it...not sure at this point since I've changed out so much.

I'm going to pick one up today and hopefully that'll help. I get the same issue on my laptop, but that was fixed with changing from 44.1 to 48 for my projects.

The on-board chipset is VIA6308P. Motherboard is Asus P5N-D

Umm...not sure what this is. It's the on-board FW, so maybe?

Nothing overtaxing or even above 60% utilization. I am wondering if there's just a raw processing/bus speed issue since I'm running a slightly older rig (Core2Quad & 4GB RAM). Unfortunately, it's not just 1 track/channel. I only exported this one because it's the most prominent (hotter...

Setup: MXL --> Focusrite Sapphire Pro 40 --> firewire to PC --> Win7 x64 --> Sonar X1 producer I've tried changing the sample rate, latencies, etc with no luck. I'm at a loss. I tried this same thing with direct in via guitar chord into the preamps of the interface...no luck. I'm getting a...

Thx!!! Ya....the bass will require a different set of strings for the tuning i'm in. I'm using a "standard" set that's tuned down from Eb to Bb. VERY wobbly. I'm also planning on trimming in places to kill some of the life-sucking monotony out of it. Baby steps....I'm still trying to learn...

A simple change of wardrobe for each separate location could add a lot of dynamics to the overall look.

I got Addictive Drums from XLN audio and wanted to try to practice mixing since I'm such a noob at it right now. So I laid down various random beats from the library, and just started layering (again for practice) randomly. Along the way, I got the idea to just record any random thought I had...

Thx for the quick feedback!!! This is definitely a 1-take/"live" type of scenario. Really at this point it's more for my personal practice, but once we get our songs more polished...may be used as a live demo. I **DO** want to actually record part-by-part properly at some point. Ya...there...

I'm still struggling with getting a decent sound in our tight rehearsal space. This is the latest and the best I can do with my craptacular headphones. Please listen and let me know what the shortcomings are mix-wise. This was recorded while in a closed room with a lot of loud. Setup as...

Caveat is that we're looking to record sooner than I can afford a $2k setup. If I'm going to go for the "better" (read: individual) buildout, which recommendations for snare/kick/etc? I'm not sold on any specific brand, but love my MXL kits b/c they're conveinent AND I already have them. I...

Tax return is soon here and would like the ability to record my drummer's full kit (7pc: 3 rack toms, 2 floor, kick, snare, etc) and am looking at a few kits in my price range. Would quality be better if I buy the mics separate and tailor? Some of the kits I'm looking into thinking I can go...

Gotcha and will try that the next time we set up. Only have 2 SM57s right now. That's soon to be alleviated when I get my tax return (those aren't even mine). As for the clicking....I figured that out. It was from running at a sample rate of 44.1. After I changed the project/software/etc...
