    No need to worry about it???

    I have perhaps a really dumb question. If I needed to record a vocal track (could be voice over, singing, podcast-like, whatever...) and I had access to do so in a domed arena that was empty, is that an ideal situation for sound? Size = 60 feet to ceiling that has some sort of acoustic...

    Mid-Side Recording Questions

    (Disclosure: I did a search, and it yielded a hodgepodge of a mess, so I thought I'd ask this basic set of questions) I want to experiment with Mid-Side recording, as I pretty much understand it to be superior to X-Y, as one can play with the stereo image after the fact, which you can't with...

    When is it "too late" to learn vocal techniques?

    I've been wondering the following, as I ponder singing (joining a choir, recording things, etc.): If one hasn't ever been to a coach, when is it too late (in terms of age) to start taking singing seriously? Meaning going to a coach and learning proper technique and being able to sound...

    Is there even a way to......

    Live gig last night. I got the 25 gigs of WAV files from the sound guy, who was at the desk. After figuring out which ones were not of the same event (imported them all into CUBASE and deleted the ones that way), then I added a 2 stereo tracks from a ZOOM H2N I "hung" by attaching it to a...

    Off-line Processing -- Forgot how

    I recall an easy method to take all of your tracks and "process them" -- in order to free up CPU resources afterwards. But I can't remember how to do it. I have 7.5 full. Searched around, played around -- can't find it. Can anyone help me out with this simple thing, that I simply can't recall...

    Mic preamp / interface quick (noob) question

    Let's say I have a Steinberg UR 824 interface. I also have a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 that I use for drums and then take the ADAT out to go into the UR824 to get it all into Cubase 7.5 (full). If I came across an expensive mic preamp that I wanted to use for vocals that did not have ADAT out --...

    What is a "Gear User"?

    Not to be the "Grammar Police", but the forum title might be better if called "Gear: User Reviews" or "User Reviews of Gear" or similar... ;-)

    Cubase 7.5 vs. Melodyne for corrections?

    I have not had the chance to fully appreciate Cubase 7.5's pitch correction, but I'm wondering if it's better/easier than using Melodyne as a plugin within Cubase. Anyone have experience in this, and can offer an opinion?

    Suddenly Midi won't record or play through...

    For some reason, my setup lost its ability to record Midi in Cubase 7.5. I see the signal in the transport panel when I hit a key, but no audio. Then when I hit a key on the instrument's virtual keyboard, I hear audio but no midi signal. Both ways, nothing records. Tried with halion and...

    ProTools files to Cubase -- easy?

    Had a session recorded, and it sucked. If I get the RAW files, is it easy to bring into Cubase 7.5 full? Audio, probably yes -- but peaks and other data / project files?

    Did the best I can, until I get better input from those smarter than I ....

    Hi all, I have given this about 4 hours of mixing, and think I did fairly well considering my experience doing this -- now it is time for critique. I don't mind a 'tearing apart' of the musicians, but you should know that they are 14 y/o's and wrote / recorded this in one 4 hour period. So it...

    Cubase 7 nightmare...

    Ok, you made me turn it on.... Intel Core2Duo 6600 running at 2.4 ghz. 4 gigs of Ram Video card is AMD Radeon HD6500. HD is an intel SSD only half full. Just turned Cubase 7 on, and it is using 318K of memory (!!) Using only 2 percent of the processor though and still spiking. attached...

    Cubase 7 nightmare...

    I am having to uninstall Cubase 7, due to big problems -- so until the planned fixes come out, I would stay away from it. I read about the issue with the Steinberg HW (UR824), but the issues I am having are not the ones described. I get spikes on track 1 when not hooked up to anything, every...

    One more for critique please...

    As before, can you critique the mix -- not the talent. They are 14 year-olds, and I am trying to mix what they write-produce-record in one setting. The mix is from a few months ago, when I had a little less knowledge about the whole process. This one is an instrumental only, called "Manic...

    Any comments and critique welcome please...

    Hi, I have a make-shift studio in my basement for my son's band. They are 14 years old each. They are using headphones to monitor what they are playing, and I am trying to do the best I can mixing them. They usually write the song, practice it, then record it in one setting. Then I try to...
